Is it OK for hobbyist users to run Solaris 10 w/o a support contract?

There's been a lot of talk recently about changes to licensing polices regarding Solaris 10 and I just had a quick question: what does this mean for those of us who are primarily hobbyists and not using the system in a commercial context. I know that hobbyist users are "supposed" to use OpenSolaris, but Solaris 10 has some cool legacy stuff like XSun (AFAIK the only X server around that still has Display PostScript, which I need to display some antique apps and games that I've got running on my SIMH VAX system) and CDE (outdated, but still somehow cool) in it that I just can't get in OSOL. Does anybody know if the new licensing restrictions are only for commercial users or if they mean that folks like my have to scrounge for new solutions for our nerdy hobbies?

Authorization-problem for standard users when running WDR_TEST_ZCI

hi
we've developed a WDA application incorporating several interactive forms. it all runs fine in QA--environment when a user with developer-role are running the application, but when standard users are running it, it fails.
the same happens with the demo-app WDR_TEST_ZCI.
i so belive this to be caused by missing authorizations for the users. can anyone shed any light on which these might be?
the error as reported in the browser:
The following error text was processed in the system Q97 : Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
The error occurred on the application server xx-x168_Q97_05 and in the work process 0 .
The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
The ABAP call stack was:

any input appreciated.

Hi Tom,
When you are familiar with authorizations in PFCG trabsaction you are finaliar with S_DEVELOP if not ask the authorization team on your project.
Basically this authorization object handles the read/write etc authorization related to devlopment objects. If you implement Adobe forms you will probably develop your own forms or at least copy the SAP forms to customer namespace.
For Adobe you will therefore have 2 custom development objects (1 for the form and 1 for the interface that is automatically generated). The end-user shoulf have at least READ access to these objects. If not the portal will trow an error on this.
To determine the tech names of the objects find the form and related interface in transaction SFP. These should be inserted in the object S_DEVELOP in the role for the end users.
You may want to consider to put the value Z* in the object which will give authorization for all the custom developed objects.
If you can't find the object reply again and i will send a screenshot.
Finally, make use of the splended transaction ST01!! It will make your life a lot more easy in portal! It traces all the authorizations needed and missing for any user you specify. After activating the trace and running a portal scenario the log will tell you want went OK and what not on an authorization object level.
Good luck,
Thomas
ps. Thanks for the appreciation you gave in my other thread. Now we have the answers in both threads as well. Take Care.

How can I disable javascript in Firefox 30 for all users on my Solaris 10 x86 box?

I have a Solaris 10 box in a secure environment (no Internet) with Firefox 30 installed. I need to lock javascript in a disabled state for all users. I realize each individual user can toggle javascript with about:config, but that is only a per/user activity. I want to set the value of javascript.enabled to false for all users. Additionally, no user should be able to modify this setting.
Is there a location with a config or prefs file that will affect all users?

Try: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

Minimum rights needed for Oracle user to run BO

Hi team,
One of my customer here made connection from BO XI installer to oracle database with this user B_A. Say this user is the admin user of CMS db. Now he finds that the user B_A user has schema role rights which customer doesn't want
and he wants to remove those rights.
he wants to know what are the minimum privileges or rights oracle user needs to keep BO XI running without problem and if he can remove those excess schema rights from that.
could some one please help me
Regards,
DV

Well, Oracle DBA should be able to answer all those questions for the customer.
I'm not a DBA, so my unerstanding of Role is that they are the predefined collections of rights users have on the DB according to the usual roles users play.
So when DBA's are managing Oracle DB they don't have to assign each user every single right, but can just assign Roles, which will include most common rights....
If we're talking rights alone - BOE CMS DB user need create, delete, modify, expand, write, insert etc...
There is absolutly no reason why CMS DB schema owner cannot have all the default rights that come with Resource and Connect roles.

Privileges required for a user to run a form with menu security with ROLES?

The Scenario
I granted role DBA to SCOTT.
I connected to SCOTT.
I create a database role MANAGER.
I GRANT ALL ON EMP TO MANAGER.
I create a new user TEST
I granted CONNECT,RESOURCE,MANAGER to TEST.
I created a menu module and wrote MANAGER in its MODULE
ROLES property and set its USE SECURITY property to yes
I created a menu in it.
I created a menu item in it.
In Item Roles Property I selected the role MANAGER.
I set DISPALY WITHOUT PRIVILEGE to NO.
I created form module based on EMP.
In Form Module properties, I gave Path of the menu module
as C:\Folder1\emp_menu.mmx in its MENU MODULE property
I wrote MANAGER in its MENU ROLE property.
Now connected to TEST when run this FORM MODULE I get
error ORA-00942 table or view does not exist and then
FRM-41810 Error Creating Menu.
But when connected to SCOTT it didn't gave the error.
And when i revoke DBA from SCOTT there was the same error.
Then I created a synonym EMP for SCOTT.EMP but the same
problem.
I think there will be some privilege which comes with role
DBA and user not having role DBA problems.
I urgently needs its solution. Please help me.

Hi,
I read that you need to run
<racle_home>\tools\db\forms60\frm60sec.sql for Forms 6i and grant users access to this table. Since this needs to be run as system/admin I guess that you did this but didn't grant privileges to the users.

Change number / date format for the user at run time

Hi,
Can I configure a report in Oracle Answers to display a column in a particular format for one group of users and a different format for another group of users?

Hi,
Yes this is possible.
In the BMM layer duplicate column which is to be formatted for different group of users. And pull it into the presentation layer.
Suppose Column 1 for the Group 1 users
and Column 2 for the Group 2 users
In the presentation layer, double click on the column and give permission for the column 1 for the group 1 users and group 2 users for column.
First create a report with all the desired columns with Administrator or Presentation Server Administrator Role. And format the columns according to the different group of users.
In, NQSConfig.ini change the parameter PROJECT_INACCESSIBLE_COLUMN_AS_NULL which is under security section. By default it is set to No. Set it to yes. And restart the services.
Now logon with the group 1 users and you can see only the column1 and when logged on with group 2 users, you can see the column2.
And will solve your problem.
Please let me know if you need step-by-step process for solving.
Please award if you found this useful/helpful

Step by step procedure for implementing User auditing in Solaris 10

we have no.of users who use either SSH terminals and Java Desktop Environment through Xbrowser through network.
We would like to know what are all the files being accessed by logged in users and what are all the changes being done, if any....
Earlier, we have enabled "script" command to get invoked automatically in ~/.bash_profile. At this stage, users are not able to get Java Desktop through xbrowser. Hence, dropped this option.
Please suggest to get rid of this script problem or some better solution through Audit logging.
Thanks in advance.

In my experience, its very rare for people to write step-by-step lists here, this is a forum which is excellent for general questions and technical problems, but, since most people who answer posts here do it in their spare time, its rare with detailed instructions of things which is rather well documented in the manual..
Having said that, the things you asks for is actually documented, have a look at:

Allowing user to run an optional test

I'm new to Teststand and Labview. Can anyone tell me a simple way for allowing users to run an optional test sequence at the end of another test sequence. I've played around with the message popup step, hoping that I could just call the optional sequence if the operator presses an 'OK' button or end the original test sequence if the operator presses a 'CANCEL' button, but haven't had much luck so far.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Make use of the Precondition, an example of this is the Computer Motherboard Test.seq in the TestStand\examples\demo folder.
This has diagnostics test sequence which it runs if any of the test steps fail.

Same customised profile for several users?

I am setting up a machine running Linux Mint 17 for several users.
Firefox 33 has this problem:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999333
... and installing the FXChrome theme does fix the problem for me.
I would like to setup Firefox identically (initially at least) for all users, with FXChrome and several other add-ons.
I plan to do this by customising one profile, and then copying it into each <user>/.mozilla.firefox directory, changing permissions as appropriate and renaming each profile folder to "rndstring.username".
Can anyone foresee any problems doing this, or is there a better way?

Just so I make sure Im correct, You want all user accounts to have the exact same database music and all? Or do you want all user accounts to have access to the same music AND each user to have there own Music/Library too?

[Solved] Setting a cronjob for my user

I want to create a cronjob speficially for my user to run offlineimap, so that it is run by my user.
I do not understand, however, how to do that... When I run crontab -e as my user I am getting redirected to some file in /tmp/ ...
EDIT: Exactly what was needed... Now it is working, it seems.
If I get errors with the command I am running, where are they printed to? to /var/log/crond?
Also.... I don't have the feeling the command is actually executed; I don't see mails popping up in my account.
EDIT: Everything works nicely...

brisbin33: I don't understand, what is the advantage of fcron over cron?
Also, I don't keep offlineimap running, as that is not needed. In ~/.offlineimaprc, I have autorefresh deactivated. So what that leaves me with, is cron invoking offlineimap, which runs, synchronizes my mailboxes, and then quits.
I think this makes more sense than your solution. You basically have offlineimap running and check every few minutes if it is still running, right?
fcron has many advantages over cron, you can check their site.
i want offlineimap running all the time and quick-syncing often so i get emails... um, when i get them. offlineimap has a tendency to quit for no reason so i have that cronjob script that runs every five minutes, but - if offlineimap's already running it immediately exits w/o errors or consuming any extra resources. seemed like the appropriate method to me.
oh well, glad you found a solution that works for you.

RSS Feed not working in chrome browser for anonymous users but working fine in IE

HI All,
We are having public facing site for anonymous users. We have created links for OOTB RSS feed for lists and libraries. The link is working fine in IE, but for chrome it is asking for credentials. We are using publishing site. Any idea or pointers is much
appreciated. We are in testing phase and this issue sticking us.
Rohit Pasrija

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want anonymous user access RSS feed link without asking for credentials.
I suggest you can check if you have deactived the “Limited-access user permission lockdown mode” feature in the site settings-> site collection features
In my environment ,after disabling the feature, then the rss feed link will be accessed without credentials for anonymous users in Chrome.
Thanks

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users?

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users? I and my wife have two Iphones (iOS 6.1.4) and we want to have use 2 iCloud accounts for one PC.

Disregard the question. The solution has nothing to do with any "Firefox bug". Turns out that my session wasn't being managed properly. Or rather, I was accidentally deleting other users' information when new users logged in. So if I had user 1 and user 2, and user 2 logged in after user 1, some of user 1's information would be deleted, resulting in the errors.
Oops; sorry about the false alarm. :)
(Was hoping to retract the question, but it looks like others have a similar problem.)

How to create a jobsteps for a new user to run a report on portal

Is there any program that automatically creates a jobsteps for the new users for
a role??
My company BW roles are mapped with R/3. so whenever a new user is created in a R/3 role

Now the problem is if any new users are created in r/3 and mapped with BW. the report
fails to run for the new users unless and until they really login in to the system.
For ex: I have 5 new users which are created in R/3 and properly mapped with BW. But
report fails to runs for the new users.
ERROR: Jobs step fails for the User X
Is there any programe that automatically creates a jobsteps for the new users??
Please advice.

OBIEE Report keeps running for some users

Hi Mates,
I am facing a issue, while running the report.
This reports keeps on running and expires after the max time out for few of the users whereas for few users it displays the output in 30 secs or so.
Just to add in Oracle Identity Management has been setup security.
Tried looking into the log files but couldn't find something related.
OBIEE Version - 11.1.1.5
Database version - 11.1.2
Regards
Gyan

You need to verify the sqls fired for both users and its data level security, you may be pulling more data for few users.
Also, try running the sql query in Toad or some other tool and compare the performance.
