How to manage code modifications among multiple users using Project.mpt or Global.mpt

Hi,
There is one copy of a Template.mpt file in the shared drive. Users copy this file to their project folder for a specific project and they save it as Project_n.mpp. There is only one Project_n.mpp file per project. So whoever works on the particular project
will always open the same Project_n.mpp file. There is a lot of projects that users work on and each of them has its respective Project1.mpp, Project2.mpp, Pproject3.mpp etc.file.
These files contain modules that are called on the Project Open and some of them on the Project Close. Current code in modules is used to update the project file with data from a database and also to update database with the data from
the project file.
I am looking now into the solution on how to incorporate any future modifications of the modules so that it can be applied to all project files.
If I modify code in any of the modules of the Template.mpt file that is on the Shared drive I am now sure that modifications will apply only to the new projects (when user initiate the Project_n.mpp and starts from the Template.mpt).
But in the case of already created project files (Project1.mpp, Project2.mpp, Project3.mpp) I also want to apply the modified code in modules, but currently when I open them I have the old code.
I tried using Global.mpt file but ran into some issues such as if I move all modules to the global.mpt the functions called from ThisProject/Project Open are ending having errors since they are not defined. Is there any way of specifying
in the project that modules are defined in the Global.mpt.
I also tried to Move modules from Template.mpt file to the Project_n.mpp file on the opening. Before moving modules I deleted them to avoid having to answer to the question "Do you want to replace the file?", but then some modules wouldn't get deleted
right away because functions that are called in the Project.mpp open event are defined in the modules I want to delete. They get deleted at the end of the code execute and that causes issues when code runs again.
I would appreciate any help, suggestion on how to solve this issue. I am open to any proposition in regards how to share modifications among all users and previous and future projects.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it certainly sounds like you could use Project Server, rather than standalone Project and MPP files stored on hard drives. This would be a perfect example of why Project Server was developed.
Some of the features that may address your needs are...
Project Server permits the creation of "template" schedules, so that users create new projects from existing Templates on the server. There can be as many as you like - different templates
for different types of schedules. Users have a drop down menu to select which "type" of project they want to create. There are other items that can be associated to the project creation.
Project Server also has workflow, which can perform actions (on the server side, not the desktop) to help manage the Project Management process flow.
Project Server allows many users to access the same copy of the schedule via a check-out (for editing) / check-in mechanism. This ensures that everyone is seeing the current and accurate version of
the schedule.
Project Server allows you to automatically keep "archived" versions of your published schedules for backup / restore purposes.
Project Server stores all project information in a SQL server database which permits you to use standard SQL tools to transfer data in / out.
Finally, Project Server still uses a Global.mpt, which is stored in the database and every user gets an automatic update of that file each time they open a project from the server (they get a local
copy, which updates with any changes) so that all changes to Global MPT are pushed out to all project users.
It sounds like you may benefit from Project Server Online, which is quick and relatively cost effective.

Pay close attention to your data transfer needs, this area is getting better, but may or may not meet your requirements.
Finally, work with a Microsoft Partner who has "been there and done that" so you get the most benefit from Project Server.
Hope that helps,
Thanks, Eric S. Pcubed

How to manage sessions(IEnterpriseSession) across multiple users?

Assuming that we are going to have only one user for our web-app to access the BO-ReportServer.
Are we supposed to fetch the IEnterpriseSession, using the following code for every user who is trying to access the WEBI report using BO-SDK from a web application.
CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon
Example:
When User_One, logs on to the webapp start a new HttpSession and then do a CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon
When User_Two, logs on to the webapp start a new HttpSession and then do a CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon
Questions:
1. Is this right approach
2. If yes, So does this keep going, considering if our webapp has around 500 concurrent users then will this be scalable
3. If no, then I wondering if the IEnterpriseSession will be threadsafe
Confusion:
Just confused if IEnterprise session is similiar to a datasource(for db connections which manages the connection pool) or is it more like HTTPSession, which is created for every individual user accessing the application.

Yes total users should be around 5000, but there could be around 500 users accessing concurrently. Besides we are using to BOE to show a dashboard, with charts and graphs(using the HTMLView) so we will have to 500 concurrent IEnterprise sessions. I just hope that:
1. Each session is unique(independent thread) although they have logged on using the same credentials
2. The CMS server can scale upto this number(500). Don't know if there are some caching options available?

How Can I Share iPhoto Library/Keywords Among Multiple Users

Hi there! I am having a bit of a dilemma where I am trying how I can have several users access a shared iPhoto library (as well as retain their own personal iPhoto libraries). Basically, I have a handful of (three) users that need to be able to store/search against a common shared photo library - ideally, in iPhoto.
I understand that I can share albums through iPhoto (users are using a mix of iPhoto '08 and '09) on one account as long as iPhoto is running - a serious drawback. When I tried sharing photos via this method I was able to see the shared albums; however the keywords that were defined for those photos were not available. This presents two questions:
1) Can iPhoto share its library among multiple users (including keywords, etc) so that if a user account (let's call it "media") shares out selected albums that the viewing users (user1 and user2) can search against the keywords in the host library? Or is this not possible with iPhoto?
2) Is there another way of sharing photos that is more efficient and can be hosted on our private servers? The interface in iPhoto is amazing - and if there was an application that allowed for that same sort of feel/tagging we would be good to go...

Well here is the weird thing. If I was sharing out the library from my computer, I could search for the keywords (and obtain results) as expected. However, if I went to another computer that was viewing my shared library, searching by the same keyword did not return any results.

What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users?

(I originally submitted this question under the "Mac OS X Technologies" section, but got no response. I'm submitting a duplicate here because this is where all the smart folks are! My apologies that my question is only partially related to OS X Server . . . )
What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users on iOS and OS X?
For example, suppose I have three collections of contacts: Bob's, Sally's, and Common. I want Bob to be able to access and sync Bob's contacts and Common contacts, and Sally to access and sync Sally's contacts and Common contacts. Bob and Sally never need to access or sync each other's contacts. Bob and Sally would both sync and share contacts in Common.
How would I best implement this? It's my understanding I have three options for managing contacts across iOS and OS X: 1. iCloud accounts, 2. Install OS X server, or 3. Install and manage Darwin CardDAV directly. Which method would best support what I wish to do?
I am a seasoned Unix geek well versed in the terminal, so I am prepared to get my hands dirty as much as necessary to achieve what I want. Also, it is sufficient if syncing takes place over WiFi on the local network, in fact, that is desirable versus syncing over the cloud.

Thanks for your reply Nick101. I see my example was oversimplified. When I say "multiple groups of contacts over multiple users" I'm really referring to N groups of contacts over N users.
So I need to add Fred, who can access and sync Bob's contacts, Sally's contacts, and Common contacts, as well as Fred's contacts. Can I do it with OS X server?
You mention you keep your and your partner's contacts administered locally. What keeps you from administering them through OS X server as well?
I am guessing this can all somehow be accomplished with multiple contact accounts, but I can't find any information on the web explicitly describing this.

Sharing IPhoto library among multiple users

I'd like to make sure that each of the user accounts on my Mac can easily access the same complete IPhoto library -- to add, edit and remove photos, and to be able to use the photos in the IWeb, GarageBand and other projects associated with those accounts. What the best way to get this to happen (and while I'm at it, I guess I'd like to do the same things with ITunes.)

webalias rex:
There are several ways that can be done. The one that has the best success rate is to put the library on an external FW HD which the ownership set to be ignored. Here's Apple's document on that method: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users.
Here are some other methods that have been discussed.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?

How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code? I would prefer to just run through a set of code every time I need a polygon. If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.

>>How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?
You could create a method that creates and returns x number of Rectangle elements:
public IEnumerable<Rectangle> CreateRectangles(int numberOfRectsToCreate)
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfRectsToCreate; ++i)
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
rect.Fill = Brushes.Blue;
rect.Width = 100;
rect.Height = 100;
yield return rect;
..and then call this method from anywhere in your code:
IEnumerable<Rectangle> rects = CreateRectangles(5);
foreach (Rectangle rect in rects)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
yourStackPanel.Children.Add(rect);
>>If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.
When adding Point objects to a Polygon you can only add one per call to the Add method but you could call the Add method inside a loop, e.g:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
Polygon p = new Polygon();
p.Points.Add(new Point());

Sharing JVM applet cache among multiple users (crosspost)

Does anyone have experience sharing a single JVM applet cache among multiple users?
(This is a crosspost of http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5157018. I know crossposting is frowned on, but it went a week without replies in the plug-in forum.)
Our browser plugin clients run in a Citrix environment where Windows Terminal Services servers host the client sessions for multiple users and the users only have a thin client hardware device at their desks. We've discovered that as a consequence of optimizing certain aspects of the Citrix environment a user's JVM cache is remote to the server hosting his/her browser session, and that the remote caching is a performance bottleneck.
Turning applet caching off improves performance considerably, but we'd like to get the cache directed locally to the server hosting the browser session and turn caching back on. But since hundreds of users times tens of servers in the "Citrix farm" adds up to a lot of cache disk space, we're wondering about users sharing a JVM cache. This already happens when one runs multiple browser/plugin sessions locally on a regular workstation. But what about fifty users' separate plugins sharing a single applet cache? It appears from file timestamps that jars'/classes' idx files in a cache are updated when a file is loaded from the cache. What if multiple browser plugins were trying to do this concurrently? Is there a risk of locking, or a data integrity exposure? Or are those idx updates insignificant since they don't affect the last modified date or the sticky cache version number? (Most apps use a 1_5_0_2 JRE, but some apps require a 1.4 plugin.)
Thanks,
Brian

This sounds very similar to a problem that's occuring for us at the moment. Did you ever find some solution to this problem?

Send smartform to multiple users using std. smartform interface

Hello All,
Below is the requirement : -
While doing an external send against the custom output type in transaction VF02, smartform is automatically send to the appropriate email address as pdf attachment. This email address can be sold to party/bill to party etc and it is controlled using configuration.
Now the prb is, using such configuration we can send email to single email id only. I need to send the email to multiple users using the standard smartform interface ONLY i.e by using the parameter MAIL_RECEPIENT in the std. smartform interface.
I have alredy evaluated the below workarounds for the above solution, but we need to implement the above functionality using standard smartform interface only.
1) Convert the smartform OTF data to PDF format data and then send the PDF attachment via email to multiple recipients using the standard FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
2) Loop at the recipients table and within the loop pass different recipient to the interface parameter MAIL_RECIPIENT of smartform. Hence in this case smartform will be called within the loop which can cause performance issues incase of multiple recipients. Also the mail will be sent individually to every recipient.
3) I have already checked by passing the distribution list the parameter MAIL_RECEIPIENT but it does not work.
Looking forward for your responses.
Regards,
R.Doshi
