How to globally set user preferences in Infoview

We desire the ability to globally set the user preferences in Infoview.  I've seen references to a macro or program but have been unable to locate it.
Can someone either post a new link or point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Kevin

Ok guys, found it... (on my XI 3.0 machine... XI 2.0 is similar)
\Business Objects\Performance Management xx.x\setup directory..
prefsCopyUtil.jar and using the PrefsCopyUtil.properties file...
1) Ensure that the following files are in the same folder, for example or example, C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Performance Management 11.5\setup:
u2022 prefsCopyUtil.jar
u2022 cecore.jar
u2022 celib.jar
u2022 ceplugins.jar
u2022 cesession.jar
u2022 corbaidl.jar
u2022 ebus405.jar
2) Set up a PrefsCopyUtil.properties file with the settings you want to use. Run "java -jar prefsCopyUtil.jar PROPFILE". Note: Replace PROPFILE with the path of the properties file with the settings you want to use.
Comand Example
cd "\Program Files\Business Objects\Performance Management 11.5\setup"
java -jar prefsCopyUtil.jar PrefsCopyUtil.properties
Example of properties file:
                   Use                                                         Example
# Indicates the CMS to use                       CMS=van-r-01-ab
# Administrator user's password.               AdminPassword=
# User to copy preferences from.               SourceUser=administrator
# All users in this group will have               TargetGroup=TestTarget
their preferences changed to be
a copy of the Source User's
preferences.

  • In Hyperion Workspace 11.1.1.3 can you globally set user preference?

    In Hyperion Workspace 11.1.1.3, is there a way to globally set the Hyperion Reporting User Point of View to 'on' for all users?

    Yes, you can. I believe it is in the Hyperion\products\biplus\lib folder for 11.1.1.3, but you may have to search for it. Look for fr_repserver.properties. Change the "     Prompt User POV" property from OFF to ON. You will have to restart the following services.
    1.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Print Server
    2.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Report Server
    3.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Scheduler Server
    4.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Web Application (might be on different server)

  • How can I set BOE XI R2 InfoView to use MM/DD/YYYY date format?

    How can I set BOE XI R2 InfoView to use MM/DD/YYYY date format instead of the default yyyy-mm-dd that comes up?
    Thank you.
    Paul

    I'm sorry to be dense.  Are you using BOE XI R2?  I don't see a "preferred viewing local" under preferences.  I see "My Interface Locale is..." under the General tab, which I have set to United States.  I don't see anywhere where I can enter in the dates and numbers.
    I also checked in the CMC under Business Object Enterprise applications, and did not see anything there either.
    Can you be specific?
    Thanks again.

    Here is an example of how to set/retrive user prefs from a PEI
    public virtual Redirect OnAfterLogin(Object oUserSession, ApplicationData appData)
    //print to the spy log
    if (PTDebug.IsInfoTracingEnabled(Component.Portal_Browsing)){

  • Set user preference Locale

    Dear all,
    I would like to set user preferences locale through a Java program.
    It seems that language locale is not part of the desktopsettings and I've not been able to find out what key to use with getProfileString (if any).
    Could you provide me an example of how to set the user preferences locale language? 
    Best regards,
    Francesco

    You can use "SI_LOCALE" as an argument to getProfileString() to retrieve a user's locale.

    I just bought a new MacBook Air. In my old one, I could go from screen to screen by using three fingers to swipe over the key pad. This one just sits there. It is Yosemite. How do I set up preferences so I can use three fingers to move from screen to screen?

    Those choices are controlled via System Preferences, Trackpad.

  • Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

  • How do I set format preferences?

    Sorry to be stupid but how do I set the preferences in my FCP 10.0.3 to ensure it ingests, edits and exports in 1080i HD PAL 25fps ? I only get Import preferences when I go to Preferences.
    Thank you.

    PAL is standard definition. Normally FCP imports exactly what you shot as QuickTime. When you place a video clip in the timeline as the first item, it sets the project properties based on that clip. The current settings normally exports in ProRes.
    P.S. The bottom of your message says FCE. I assume that's not what you mean.

  • How do I set user time limits on a guest network?

    How do I set user time limits on a guest network AirPort Time Capsule?

    It is not possible to set up specific time limits for the Guest Network as a whole, but it is possible to set up individual time limits for each device that will be connecting to the Guest Network.....and, also the main network for that matter.
    If you can provide us with some more specifics on what you are trying to accomplish, how many devices will be involved, etc.......that will help us craft our answer to provide accurate information.
    Meanwhile, if you want to take a look at the general settings in Timed Access....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
    Click the Network tab at the top of the screen
    Enter a check mark in the box next to Enable Timed Access
    Click on the Timed Access button
    Click Cancel to avoid making any changes to your current setup

  • How do I set Premiere preferences for all users - University lab machine?

    I am setting up an editing suite for our University which has a "per machine" Creative Cloud licence. It is a PC installation. This machine will be used by a class of students who will log in with their own credentials. I need to set the preferences for Premiere (video output, workspace layout, default drives etc) so that it will be the same for all users logging in since we want a consistent setup for teaching purposes and dont want to have to help each student set up so that it shows correctly on the monitors. Is there a way of saving this setting as the default for every user?
    The most important one is the preferences - Playback in order to set up the second monitor.

  • 1.5 How to globally set the System Cache location

    FROM ANOTHER USER ON ANOTHER BOARD:
    This one did not get answered completely.
    ************************* Question:
    Hello,
    I want to deploy JWS on a client PC with Microsoft XP OS. This client have multiple users. JWS put a file deployment.properties in the directory "documents and setting" for the current user.
    How can I create a uniquely file deployment.properties for all users of this client (new and existing profiles) ?
    Create a directory "documents and setting/all users/application data/sun/java/deployment/" with the file deployment.properties don't work.
    Create a directory "documents and setting/default user/application data/sun/java/deployment/" with the file deployment.properties is working but is not good for the existing users. This is good uniquely for new users.
    is there a solution ?
    King regards,
    funchung
    ************************* ANSWER:
    For windows, the system config file is at:
    {Windows Directory}\Sun\Java\Deployment\
    The value of the {Windows Directory} is determined by using the Win32 API GetWindowsDirectory.
    So for example, on XP, the system config file is:
    c:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
    The settings in this system config file will be used by all users on the system.
    ***************************** HIS REPLY
    I've tried this and it doesn't seem to work.
    I've also tried createing a deployment.config file as per the http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html article and this doesn't work for me.
    Has anyone done this successfully??
    ******************************** MY REPLY:
    This is true.
    I can get the system install to work if I add the parameter:
    deployment.system.cachedir=C\:\\testcache
    to the deployment.properties file found under:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment
    but it will NOT work by adding it to the:
    C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment
    directory. It just creates a new default one in the user's folder.
    What am I doing wrong?
    If there is not a way to globally set the System Cache location, then this isn't much better than the user cache for being able to "install" the software once on the PC and let any user that signs in access that application.
    We had high hopes for this, since this functionality was taken away from us once the java cache started being stored in the user's folders.
    More details:
    I just tried setting the mandatory=true setting and it tells me that it is not allowed to start because it can't find the
    deployment.properties in the same folder (full path is displayed) but I know it is there, because it is the same folder. I even double checked the spelling.
    Maybe there is a bug in the way it finds that properties file, or maybe I need to include something in that file that I didn't find in documentation?
    All it has in it is the one line:
    deployment.system.cachedir=C\:\\testcache
    Can anybody help shed light on this?
    It seems to be a bug that it can't find the deployment.properties file in the 'system' folder.

  • Setting User Preferences With Javascript In Acrobat X

    Hi All,
    Is there a way thru Javascript to programatically set a value in the User Preferences?
    I am trying to create a batch sequence that exports PDFs to HTMLs. In the Acrobat X preferences, there is a conversion option that sets the option of "Run OCR If Needed" to true or false.
    Edit --> Preferences --> Convert From PDF --> HTML --> Run OCR if needed (True|False)
    Depending on conditions, I need to programtically set the value of this preference during the batch sequence before I export the document to HTML. Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
    Thank you,
    Teri

    There are very few user preferences that can be controlled with JavaScript, and this isn't one of them.
