Locking data - 2nd recipient - with no Acrobat!

Hey!
Quick question - If i created a fillable form on Acrobat 9 Standard, and then sent this to somebody else to fill in (who does not have Acrobat - they only have the free Adobe Reader) and they entered some data on the same form, is there any way that this person could then lock certain fields before emailing the form to a third person? We do not want the last person to be able to edit the data that the 2nd person has entered. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Add a signature field to the form. In the properties of the signature field you can specify fields which will locked when signing the form.

Time wait - line lock - data concurrency - Solved with workaround

Hi.
A session inserts a line in a table and it does not make commit.
Another session makes another insert in the same table, with the same value for primary key and, because of the Lock, it is waiting for one commit or rollback of the first session, and only after this it's get a error message.
Exists some way to make with that the error message is shown immediately, without waiting for commit or rollback of the other session (first session)?
PS.:
But I need to continue with READ COMMITTED (statement) isolation level, because the SERIALIZABLE (transaction) would generate many locks.

Using a sequence for a PK will not solve your problem since I believe that you would still need a unique index (perhaps unique constraint) on the business value to prevent duplicates. Using a sequenced generated value for the PK would just move the problem to this second index unless the current PK is just a sequential number in which case why can't the value have gaps?
I know a system that uses a sequence generated value for its invoice numbers assigned at shipping time. There are gaps. When the auditors questioned it (after 8 years of being this way) it was pointed out that a sequential set of invoice numbers does not prove that an invoice that should have been generated was not skipped or that the invoices themselver are complete. The real audit trail is the report that show for every item on a sales order every item was shipped and invoiced. The cross reference report is the validation. The invoice numbers are meaningless. Sequential numbers are a false sense of security.
Possible alternates are to use a sequence as the PK (or a UK) and to update a second key column sequentially via batch (update table in sequence value order assigning sequential value via function which adds one to previous value on each use) Since only one process will perform the assignment there will be no gaps.

I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel

I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel. I have fully charged it tried resetting it and on two different computers with the latest iTunes I have restored it with the latest firmware then moved it to hold and off hold held in the menue button and select button for 10 seconds but all I get is a screen where I select the language but cant get any response from the scroll wheel.
The hold button is working (I see the lock icon go on and off) I have done the restore procedure and then reset many times but no good I am wondering if I should open it up and disconnect the battery for 30 seconds.
I would appreciate any advice thanks in advance. (This is my Daughters ipod mine is an 8 gig one.)

You need a newer model iPod, a 4G or 5G. The 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
Answer YES to change the security.
A new window opens:
     Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
     Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
     Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
          Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
          Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
          Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
          Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
          Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
          OK - OK
          Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
          OK - OK
          Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)

Trying to open a streamed PDF in an IFRAME in Internet Explorer 9 on my Win7 64bit machine.
This results in the following dialog:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)
The PDF is streamed (not read from disc) from a servlet in our Java WebSphere environment and the call looks like this:
https://intranetserver.com/myapplication/OpenDocumentServlet.pdf?documentToOpenID=1
The Servlet sets content-type header application/pdf and content-length and writes the bytes to the buffer.
Does the error dialog even come from Acrobat? When the dialog opens there is no active AcrReader process visible in task manager.
Please advise!

Acrobat Reader 9 with an Acrobat 5-8 Created Form?

Hello,
I am new to my job working with a ASP application that provides a PDF form (created in Acrobat 5) to users with free form fields the user can fill out. Users have been complaining that when the users upgrade to Acrobat Reader 9 the begin to see a message that "Some features are no longer supported..." and the ability to save a local copy of the file is no longer available. I have 2 questions.
Was the ability to save a local copy of a form with user-entered data ever a feature of Acrobat Reader?
Is that an issue that can be corrected by creating the form with the Acrobat 9 Life-Cycle engine or is that a feature that has forever been removed from Acrobat Reader for security or other reasons?
Thanks in advance!
- Yohancef

No I was referring to filled in forms.
So to be clear, the ability to save user filled in information in a form to your local machine as a PDF through Acrobat Reader IS possible, but has to be enabled by opening the form in Acrobat (9 for example) and enabling some feature to allows Reader users to save the information to the PDF file. This feature is limited though and has a 500 use limit per form.
Does that sound correct? Do you know the name of the feature?
Thanks!

Subject: Acrobat Reader 9 with an Acrobat 5-8 Created Form?
There may be some features that are not supported any more but you may not be using them. That message is just a general warning.
As far as saving the filled in form, Reader on it's own has never been able to do it. You would need the newer version of Acrobat to open and enable these forms so that Reader users can save them. Be warned that this feature is meant for small-time use and has a usage limit of 500 submissions per form. You'll want to read and undestand the EULA before planning on using it.
Or do you mean that they cannot save the unfilled form either?

STS u0096 Status buttons and locked data after approving

Hello!
I have some difficulties to customize STS and to lock data with the Approve status:
With a bottom-up organization, a low level (User A) sends for approval to his superior (User B), then the superior approves. Then the data are normally locked for User A.
But User A has always the possibility to click on the button Open planning and key-in/save data on the input form. And I dont understand what is wrong.
I hope my explanation is clear and sufficient.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cécile

Thank you for your answer.
According the OSS note, my user has only the authorization R_STS_PT and its a bottom-up session. But I must use Header selections for the planning session? I have done some tests with this option and it wasnt conclusive. At this moment I have no restriction/value in the option Define Header Chars for planning session.
And I dont understand the sdn topic link. There is no relation with my problem?

Java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 7 - see DB

I am deploying my application components on Oracle RAC database, when i install my app component i will run a script which creates a user and tablespace on bot rac-nodes(node1 and node2)
as database is clustered, the user are created on 2 nodes and tablespace is stored in a shared location for two rac nodes
i am able to successfully run my script on rac-node1 and and installed my component and when i started installing the app component on node2 getting error

You should not create database files outside of the ASM.
I'm not sure you can move the datafile, I would export the data from the tablespace (if there is data you need there), delete the tablespace and recreate it in the ASM, then import the data back.
If you want to move the datafile, you can try using RMAN (from node1).
First connect to the database with sqlplus and execute:
alter tablespace <tbs_name> offline;Then start RMAN: rman target /
BACKUP AS COPY DATAFILE '<file>' FORMAT '+<ASM_DG>';Then in sqlplus, execute:
alter tablespace <tbs_name> online;I'm not sure it will work, and I hope I got the commands right because I can't check it right now.

Then I created a disk group:
CREATE DISKGROUP STORE EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY DISK '/dev/asm210';
Then I created a new tablespace:
CREATE TABLESPACE store DATAFILE '+STORE';
I did all this operations from NODE1.
What is happening now is that everytime I try to read something from new diskgroup FROM NODE2 I get the ORA-01157:

The simple query on dba_data_file work from NODE1 and fails from NODE2 with the ORA-01157.

I didn't understand what do you mean with thread...
But I think you found the problem
Initialization files of both ASM instance are: SPFILE='/dev/spfileASM'
that SPFILE is (common for both):
+ASM2.__oracle_base='/u01/app/oracle'#ORACLE_BASE set from environment
+ASM2.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA'
+ASM1.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA','STORE'#Manual Mount
*.asm_diskstring='/dev/asm*'
*.cluster_database=true
*.diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'
+ASM1.instance_number=1
+ASM2.instance_number=2
*.instance_type='asm'
*.large_pool_size=12M
+ASM1.local_listener='LISTENER_ASM'
+AC
Then I executed another query:
From ASM1
SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
+ASM1
SQL> select name, state from v$asm_diskgroup;
NAME STATE
ARCHIVELOG MOUNTED
DATA MOUNTED
ONLINELOG MOUNTED
STORE MOUNTED
SQL>
From ASM2
SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
+ASM2
SQL> select name, state from v$asm_diskgroup;
NAME STATE
ARCHIVELOG MOUNTED
DATA MOUNTED
ONLINELOG MOUNTED
STORE DISMOUNTED
SQL>
Than the question is:
how can I mount the disk group STORE also on ASM2?
I think the problems is into the spfile lines:
+ASM2.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA'
+ASM1.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA','STORE'
How can I change the +ASM2.asm_diskgroups value?

Error when I try to lock data

When I try to lock data for an entity for 1 year, 1 month and 1 scenario I get the following message
"Cannot complete this action because calculations, translations, or consolidations need to be performed"
When I look in process control however everything is ok...

In case it would have been validation thing the message would have read "validations need to be performed". Have you changes your metadata after uploading the balances in the system? If yes then, were there any journals that were posted with the deleted accounts. Does the consolidation happen completely?

Unable to view locked data in Data Forms

Hi,
Does anyone know why we are not able to view locked data (it just shows empty orange cells) in Data Entry Forms? We added a column to the Data Form with the prior quarter information. This is just for information purposes and not for entering data, so the users see in one single form what they entered in the prior quarter. Unfortunately the cells do not show any data when the prior quarter is locked.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot!

Locking Data in Consolidation Grid

Hello all -
I'm wondering if there is a way to lock/unlock the data on the standard consolidation grid (the one under Process Management). I don't see anything, but everything else can be done there - process management, translations, etc. It seems odd that the users will need another grid solely to lock data with. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
~Sarah

I'm sorry Sarah, I overlooked that in your initial comment. The Process Control module was designed really to facilitate consolidation and process management. It makes sense to me that entity Lock/Unlock should be added to this. I will present this to product management for a future release idea. Based on some future intended changes, it seems likely we can add this to the product, but for now you will have to switch to the normal web grids in order to lock data.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.
