  • I got a "System Notice Online MainTENANCE" call

    [10:30:24 PM] *** Call from SYSTEM NOTICE™ ONLINE MAINTENANCE, duration 01:48. ***
    This call gave me a website to go to, stating that something in my computer wasn't safe, i went to the side but didnt click on anything and it said that a back door and what not was opened, and a few other things as if it had scanned my computer. However I went and used my own two scanners and nothing showed up. Why would I get a call like that on Skype stating such actions had taken place on my computer when in fact it had not? I would like to know if this call had come from Skype or an outside source.

  • What are these urgent email notices to update Skype

    We don't understand these "urgent" email notices for system updates. Also getting calls on Skype to update system.
    I'm thinking "system updates" would come from Apple. Not sure what these notices are. Maybe "phishing"?

    A quick Google search indicates that it is probably a phishing scam.

  • Assigment maintenance cycle -- system (IBASE) in CharM

    Hello!
    I have the problem to establish CharM functionality.
    When I try to set a urgent correction in status "In Development" I get the following error:
    No maintenance cycle is open for the current system
    My question are:
    - How do this assignment maintenance cycle <--> system (IBASE) work?
    - Is it perhaps possible to execute this assignment manually?
    - Is there some log files that can be analysed for this problem?
    Thanks & regards
    Thom

    Hi,
    About this issue, there is a detail information about this in blog point 6  u201CChanges in the logical components of a project where Charm is already activatedu201D.
    This is the link:  http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/15116
    So, you have to change the transport route accordingly and then close current maintenance cycle and generate a new one.
    Following is the steps.
    1: please import all the transport requests which were associated in the current maintenance cycle task list by STMS manually import.
    1: change transport route from DEV > PREPROD >PROD to DEV > USER > PROD on the domain controller system.
    2: close current maintenance cycle.
    3: change the system landscape to DEV > USER > PROD in solar_project_admin.
    4: generate a new maintenance cycle.
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Vikram

    Are you getting this exception in a SAP supplied application or is this application is a custom one with changes in the blueprint tables? Try calling the original applications and see if it is working. Also if you have changed the application with any z class please check the classes.
    More over there is a specific forum for CRM PCUI, if you post your future questions there then you can get a faster response.

    Hi, dpmaclaren, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, it is not just one incident or the same abuser of the system that you are blocking - these scammers keep changing the background numbers.  Please report this to Skype Customer Service (this link provides the instruction how to do this: contact customer service ), and please continue to Block and Report as Abuse as this alerts Skype.
    If your situation allows for it, you could also adjust your profile settings such that you can receive incoming calls from people on your Contact list only... . Just a thought.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine
    I am having the same problem. I have bloked them in all possible ways. I already reported this problem a couple of months ago. No solution yet.
    Now they are calling several times in a row. Look the info below:

    This is really enoying. You should sue theis guy big time. He is really causing a big problem to your service.
    I can not do what you suggest, because I have to receive calls from people who are not in my list.
    As for to report these incidents you should provide a straight email address to do that
    I am using Win 7 and have been with Skype from many years.

    Keep receiving messages from FSS.system.notice.urgent.us.  
    Anyreason why?  Cannot find explainations.

    Hi, Plastic, and welcome to the Community,
    But my question is this, This is a brand new account (2 days old) set up only on a skype phone. I have told no one my skype name, so how did the caller know my name to call?
    Question: When you set up your new Skype account, did the Skype app on your phone provide the option to secure your account via setting the privacy settings to permit incoming audio calls, video calls, and instant messages from people on your contact list only?   If not, please sign on via a laptop or computer to do this.  Remember to Save your settings as you proceed through the screens/windows.
    It's not like they can randomly guess a skype name.
    Yes, they can.
    How are our details stored?
    Please refer to these FAQ articles for explanation: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA143/is-skype-se​cure and https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA31/does-skype-u​se-encryption
    Can wild characters be used in skype calls?
    If you mean something like an "*" such as in a database search, then, no.
    No one should be able to call my skype number unless I tell them my ID or chose to use something easily guessed, and then even if this was the case, within two days?
     If you secure your account and profile (do not specify a gender; leave location and other settings which default to "Public" neutral or blank), then your Skype account should not be easily found.
    Skype has significantly reduced the number of ways other Skype users can find their friends, colleagues, and so on, but still allows for general searches based on only four Add a Contact features: Skype name, full name, e-mail address, or telephone number input in the Profile.   Your new Skype account fell into the scammer's random search parameters.
    Also, why does Skype allow user names that include system.notice? This would seem to me words that should be reserved for system notices, or am I missing something here?
    Yours is a valid point which I have read many times - however, these titles are only titles such as how you might change your name as it appears in your Profile settings; the scammers constantly change the underlying Skype account names they use.  Please see this FAQ article for the details of a Skype name vs. a display name: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA110/can-i-chang​e-my-skype-name
    Securing your account should rid you of these nuisance messages as well as unsolicited contact invitations.
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • How do you move changes from your project developments into the maintenance development system?

    Good day colleagues.
    We are in the process of introducing retrofit, and the picture is clear for us, generally speaking, to retrofit the project landscape with the changes done in the maintenance landscape.
    What about the other way around? We mean, when the project is set to Go Live, we understand the transports will be all added, e.g. to the Production System buffer to be moved there via Maintenance Cycle, based on the way we defined the project and the logical component being used.
    However, how do you feed those project transports to your Maintenance Development System using ChaRM?  or do you do that Manually?  We doubt. Copying Production back into Development?  no way !!!
    How do you establish that?  We have a sort of idea but the documents about retrofit only seem to talk about moving transports one way, as far as we have found.
    Many thanks for any feedback.
    Juan Carlos

    Hi Piyush.
    I apologize for a late close on this questioning about moving projects back into the maintenance stream.
    Basically there are 2 solutions as far as we know:
    1. What Vivek mentions, which is performing a cutover and repacking the project transports into 2 transports in the maintenance stream:  A workbench and a customizing.   In that sense, at the end of the day you end up moving just 2 transports to the maintenance stream up to Production.   They contain all your project objects.  Thanks to Vivek, again.
    This is a very practical and interesting approach.  The only reason we did not adopt it, is based on the fact that if by any chance we encounter an issue with a project transport object in the maintenance stream (Dev or QA), now that all is bundled together, we may be stuck right at the time weare getting ready to GoLive.  How tough is going to be that issue? how easy and quick to fix?how much would that affect the whole project time frame?   Those questions made us decide to option 2.
    2.  What we are doing is that at cutover we move at the same time all project transports to the transport buffer of each of the maintenance stream systems (Dev, QA, and Prod).   We first open the gate to move the transports to Dev and we test, then to QA and we test, as well.  If there may be an issue, and the issue can not be quickly resolved by the project team, we can go up to the extreme of using a new feature introduced in ChaRM in SP10, if we are not wrong, but definitely available in SP12.  That feature provides a way to selectively decide which transports of the release are to Go Live and which ones do not, although we have no had to use that feature, yet, but it is there.
    We do not see any risk on adding the transports to the maintenance buffers at the same time.  There are ways to control the systems that are open for receiving transports, and the project phases, which guarantees no room for error.  There have to be deliberate actions taken (more than one in our case), to wrongly move a project to GoLive before its time comes.
    That is more or less the scenario Piyush.    
    Hope that explains the scenario.  So far no decision on really publishing as a blog.  It seems not to be written on stone, as consulting with different companies, each adds its own flavor to the recipe and shuffle ideas to get to what they are looking for and makes them happy.
    Juan

  • Unwanted SPAM calls about urgent system test

    I have received hundreds of spam calls reporting the need for an unwanted urgent systems test.
    I have reported each of these calls to the SKYPE administration, and have received exactly NO HELP or response from them.  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    In order to protect myself from the mutiple calls daily from this spammer, I have had to reduce my availability to 'Friends Only'.  Since SKYPE has no interest in protecting me from SPAMMERS even at my request, I am seriously considering closing my SKYPE account.
    I suspect that GOOGLE+ will be more interested in keeping thier subscribers than SKYPE.
