How to make managed masters available in Finder & other apps

Hi all,
In discussing a Referenced vs Managed storage, one of the issues is not being able to see your Masters in the Finder, so other apps can access them.
You can get at the Masters in your managed Library quite easily, although
BEWARE...
DO NOT MOVE OR DELETE THESE FILES...
OR OPEN THEM WITHOUT MAKING A COPY TO ANOTHER LOCATION OUTSIDE THE APERTURE LIBRARY...
or you will disrupt Aperture's management of these files
JUST COPY WHAT YOU NEED OUT TO ANOTHER LOCATION before working on them.
OK, WARNING OVER...
This method will give you the ability to browse your masters stored in the Managed Aperture Library from the Finder. It will also give other apps access to the files, but DO NOT OPEN THESE FILES WITH ANOTHER APP FROM THAT LOCATION..;copy them out and then use them.
This would be ideal if I could make the contents of the Alias read only without effecting the file permissions within the Library.
Maybe I will write an app that does this...that way if you did open the files in another app it would make you save it somewhere else and prevent any problems.
OK...here is how...
1) Open the desired managed Aperture Library by right-clicking and selecting "Open Package Contents"
2) Select the Folder called Masters inside the Aperture Library
3) Right Click this Masters folder and select "Make Alias"
4) Drag the new alias folder you just created called “Masters alias” out to a convenient spot, like the desktop.
4) Go back and delete the Masters Alias folder that you made inside the managed Aperture Library. Empty Trash.
From your new Masters alias folder on the desktop, you can now browse all your masters. I suggest setting it to icon view, so you can see all the images easily.
OK...understand what you have now...this folder and its contents are NOT YOURS to play with, you gave them to Aperture to manage...it is OK to browse and look at the masters, and make copies of the masters to another location outside this folder hierarchy for another app to work on, but do not open, move, delete or in any way change the structure or contents of this folder...or Aperture will not be pleased with you, lol.
The structure is simple to navigate, date & time, if you have an idea of when you shot the pictures you are in good shape. In icon view the pix come up quickly and you can QUICKLOOK using the spacebar, of course.
Anyway, this method, while imperfect, gives you immediate Finder access to your managed masters for BROWSING and COPYING SOMEWHERE ELSE ONLY.
Use at your own risk, and please don’t flame me if you screw up the library structure by deleting or changing anything within that folder.
Sincerely,
K. J. Doyle

This would be a way to backup the images in a manner where you are not dependent on Apple products.
No it wouldn't. You're using the Finder, aliases, a Mac and everything else.
but want to backup to a portable drive with just the images.
File -> Export your Masters will do exactly the same thing.

How to make saved IR available for all users

Hi,
I've created IR and saved it to several tabs based on search conditions.
But they're only visible for developers.
How to make these tabs available for all end-users ?
Does version 4.0 support this option ?
Thank you!

Hi
At present this feature is not included, although I believe it may be in 4.0. Many people have provided workarounds for this. None of which I have tried. I cannot find the original thread but here is a solution from a chap called Ruud
>
One way to share your saved reports with others is to 'Publish' your report settings to a few intermediate tables in your application and have other users 'Import' your settings from there. The reason for using intermediate tables is so that not all your saved reports need to be 'visible' to other users (only those that you've chosen to publish).
Basically you have available the following views and package calls that any APEX user can access:-
- flows_030100.apex_application_pages (all application pages)
- flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt (all saved reports - inclusing defaults and all user saved reports)
- flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond (the associated conditions/filters for above saved reports)
- wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_rpt (package procedure that creates a new saved report)
- wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_condition (package procedure that creates a condition/filter for above saved report)
The way I've done it is that I've created 2 tables in my application schema that are straightforward clones of the 2 above views.
CREATE TABLE user_report_settings AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt;
CREATE TABLE user_report_conditions AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond;
( NB. I deleted any contents that may have come across to make sure we start with a clean slate. )
These two tables will act as my 'repository'.
To simplify matters I've also created 2 views that look at the same APEX views.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_settings AS
SELECT r.*
p.page_name
FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt r,
flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
AND r.session_id IS NULL
AND p.application_id = r.application_id
AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_conditions AS
SELECT r.*
p.page_name
FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond r,
flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
AND p.application_id = r.application_id
AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
I then built 2 screens:-
1) Publish Report Settings
This shows 2 report regions:-
- Region 1 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, report_id ) " ",
page_name,
report_name
FROM v_report_settings
WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
AND ( page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY page_name,
report_name
Each row has a checkbox to select the required settings to publish.
The region has a button called PUBLISH (with associated process) that when pressed will copy the settings from
V_REPORT_SETTINGS (and V_REPORT_CONDITIONS) into USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
- Region 2 - Shows a list of already published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (again filtered for your user)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 10, s.report_id ) " ",
m.label,
s.report_name
FROM user_report_settings s,
menu m
WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
AND s.application_user = :APP_USER
AND ( s.page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY m.label,
s.report_name
Each row has a checkbox to select a setting that you would like to delete from the repository.
The region has a button called DELETE (with associated process) that when pressed will remove the selected
rows from USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
NB: P27_REPORT is a "Select List With Submit" to filter the required report page first.
Table MENU is my application menu table where I store my menu/pages info.
2) Import Report Settings
This again shows 2 report regions:-
- Region 1 - Shows a list of all published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to show only other users saved reports)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, s.report_id ) " ",
m.label,
s.report_name,
s.application_user
FROM user_report_settings s,
menu m
WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
AND s.application_user :APP_USER
AND ( s.page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY m.label,
s.report_name,
s.application_user
Each row has a checkbox to select the setting(s) that you would like to import from the repository.
The region has one button called IMPORT that when pressed will import the selected settings.
It does this by using the 2 above mentioned package procedure to create a new saved report for you
with the information form the repository. Be careful to match the right column with the right procedure
parameter and to 'reverse' any DECODEs that the view has.
- Region 2 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
SELECT page_name,
report_name
FROM v_report_settings
WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
AND ( page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY page_name,
report_name
This is only needed to give you some feedback as to whether the import succeeded.
A few proviso's:-
a) I'm sure there's a better way to do all this but this works for me :-)
b) This does not work for Computations! I have not found an API call to create computations.
They will simply not come across into the repository.
c) If you import the same settings twice I've made it so that the name is suffixed with (2), (3) etc.
I did not find a way to update existing report settings. You can only create new ones.
d) Make sure you refer to your saved reports by name, not ID, when matching APEX stored reports and the
reports in your repository as the ID numbers may change if you re-import an application or if you
auto-generate your screens/reports (as I do).
Ruud
>
To me this is a bit too much of a hack and I personally wouldn't implement it - it's just an example to show it can be done.
Also if you look here in the help in APEX Home > Adding Application Components > Creating Reports > Editing Interactive Reports
...and go to the last paragraph, you can embed predicates in the URL.
Cheers

How to make manager approve more than one request in one time in SSHR

Dear All,
Anyone has an idea on how to make manager approver more than one request in one time in SSHR??
for example, manager is having 20 requests to approve on Change Pay Function, he don't want to check one by one and approve it, he want to approve the 20 requests directly from one time, is there any solution for that??
Thanks and Regards

Hi Adel,
As Vignesh has mentioned we don't have any standard functionality which will allow bulk approvals. We had same kind of requirement in performance management where the business was asking for a bulk approval feature which should be available to Skip level manager for approving the rating suggested by line manager. We had created a custom page which will list all the notifications and user can select the ones which S/He wants to bulk approve and click submit button. Internally we had called the workflow with item key and other required parameter and do the approval.
You can have a work with your technical guy and can work on the same lines.
Thanks,
Sanjay

How to make a service available at boot.

Can someone tell me how to make a service available at boot time via smf ? The question is for a generic service ( network/telnet for example ) and for a site one.
Is it enough to enable it via svcadm ?
Thanks.

yeah all you need to do is
svcadm enable /network/telnet
this will enable the service then and next time when you boot the system
(or i.e. svcadm disable apache2 if you want to disable the httpd)
have you tried man on svcadm?

How to make iPhotos library available to other users

how to make iPhotos library available to other users

To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

How to make database instances available in the SAP MMC

Hello,
I have been trying to figure out on how to make a database instance, which I installed on the MSSQL Server, available in the SAP Management Console in order to start the instance. I am able to view the instance over the Enterprise Manager of the MSSQL Sever, but I cannot start it from there (this is only possible from the SAP MMC). I have the SAP MMC installed on my computer, but just cannot figure out on how to control the instance from there because I cannot see it.
I hope someone can help me on this matter!
Thanks....
Katharina

Hello Katharina,
Run SAP MMC and right-click to SAP R/3 Systems.
Choose properties and go to Fixed tab.
In 'System' field enter Your SID (e.g. EBP)
In 'Instance' field enter hostname<space>instance number (e.g. epb01 10) Remember, there is space between ebp01 and 10.
Click on 'Add' button and then OK.

How to make some computers available on the Internet? Remote Desktop.

We have 12 computers (VMs) that are used for training. They are configured with the software to be trained on and are set up just the way we want them. We are looking for a way that we can make these computers available to the internet so that someone can Remote into the VMs to go through some training courses. We do need to be able to control who can get onto these machines so we don't have random people logging into them. We handle training through a GotoTraining type system and would provide a link to each of the attendees.Does anyone know if a way to do this?It could be as simple as a list of 12 links that we tell each person to click a link. It could be as fancy as having the person click the link and having them put into any machine that doesn't already have someone in it.This could involve installing some sort of 3rd party...
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi,
Beforing answering your Q....How the dashboard will get the data....how it will display??
See to diplay any Grid,charts,bar..... it need to fetch the data from the database servers that means if your in netcafe also .......it need to be connected to the netwrok were it can fetch the data from.
so having the link is not sufficient ....... you need to have the authorization to the xMIIserver from Net cafe.

How to make new jars available globally on the portal to all projects?

Hello,
I have downloaded few jar files which are needed for few projects and aren't comming with the portal by default.
I would like to make these jars available globally to every project I will write in the future. What is the exact procedure I need to do on the portal server in order to acheive this?
Regards,
Roy

I've been playing around with this as well (in combination with NWDI).
You need to consider what should happen if you ever have an update of the "common" jar-files that you are adding. They might break some of the portal apps that use them, so it's not a good solution to use a J2EE Library DC if you know there will be updates in the future. If you're sure there will be no updates, this is indeed the simplest way to implement this. All you need to do is to specify a PrivateSharingReference for the portal apps as explained here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/88/bdfc3f48ecc742e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
The 2nd available option (based on NWDI) is to create an External Library DC and add your jars to that. Create an extra public part for assembly (next to the existing public part for compilation called ExternalLibs). Then, for each portal app DC add the External Library DC as a used DC, create an assembly public part and add an Entity Reference to the assembly public part of the External Library DC. This way the jars will be assembled in the PAR file for each portal app. The nice thing is that you are still maintaining the jar files in one central place, but that you have the option to update and test the portal apps individually.

How to Make Wage Types Available in Drop Down

Hi,
I need to make a particular wage type available for a particular Infotype(14,15 to be precise.).
I tried entering using the v_t512z maintenance. In that when I entered (actually copied from an existing WT), it gave an error that key already exists.
Now, I would like to know is this the way to make a WT visible in drop down of IT0014/15 ?
Answers would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Vivek

Hi sarika, amit, and santosh..
Your answers were quite helpful. but my situation is still unanswered :(.
The thing is that a particular WT(WT1) is present for a particular molga(M1). Now I need to make this WT1 available in the drop down for another molga(M2).
When I went in view maintenence of V_52D7_B, for molga M1, it showed the existence of the WT, but when I was in molga M2, and the same wage type group(14/15) and copied an existing wage type, and renamed it to what I want, it gave an error saying that this wage type doesnt exist.
I hope I have made my problem a bit more clear. I would appriciate if any of u can tell me what am I missing in my process.
Is it that I need to create a wage type for molga M2 and only then what I am trying to do is possible?
Being a rookie in the field, please do not mind my basic querries.
Regards,
Vivek

How to make OBIEE reports available during the DB tables data refresh?

Experts,
We have our production ETL run for 2.5 days every month. OBIEE reports will not be available during the run. We have a requirement to make the reports available all 24 hrs 365 days. So, what we are trying is to copy all the fact/Dim tables to the new schema running in the same or different DB server and amend the connection pool to point this schema during the run. Here are my questions. Is this a workabale solution (or) is there better approach for meeting our requirement
Regards,
Sarvan

I would suggest this option:
Store the following connection pool values in a table and call them in your connection pool using Connection Pool Scripts
Data Source Name
User ID
Pwd
when ever you want to change db just you need to edit these values that would help your bi with no downtime.
You might have to tweak it little bit if needed.
More or less we have use sometime back to a client where they want to switch dbs dev to test to etc
Try it out.
BTW: 2.5 days load time for Full load or Incr?
