My user points in the GB forum dropped from 970 to 735?

I was listed in the GB forums "Top Users In Category" with 930 points. Then today suddenly it dropped to 735 points. What happened to my hard earned points?

Nobody wants you to leave. I have noticed that the harder I work in a thread the less likely I am to get any points out of it. My motivation is helping where I can and investigating something if I don't know it so I can learn more myself.
I don't think the Top Users is really a good place to look at. I don't know how those numbers work. I noticed that you have some old posts that are no longer online. I think that is where those points went. I think it calculates the number of points you have online and if your posts get moved offline (for whatever reason, however that works) you lose category points. That would be a good thing as old users stop participating and new people come on. If someone hasn't logged on for 2 years, why should they keep their top ranking?
Another problem with "Top Users" is that it is where you are essentially competing with others. No matter how hard you work, there could be someone who you could never reach. I used to be #1 in Software Development but got knocked down by RayNewbie. At least he has 4000 points till to earn before he gets level 4. Of course, at his rate of point accumulation, he'll be there in 18 months. (No - I'm not kidding)
My suggestion is to expand out from Garageband a bit into some other forums where you feel comfortable. If you see a question with an easy answer, fire it off. The points alone isn't a good reason to participate. You need to find something else to get out of it for yourself.

Multiple users pointed to the same location as their "Home Folder"

One of the things we need to be able to do for out work is share folders. We are project based and do not want to store the projects in the users "eDirectory User" home folder. We made some initial test assigning two users to the same "Home Folder" and shared a folder and had multiple accounts both internal and external pick-up and drop off files in the folder.
While it appears to work, I wanted to find out if there are downsides in having 20-30 people with the same Filr "Home Folder". What are the potential "gotchas". Security (internal) isn't an issues since these network locations are accessible by all the users anyway.

Hi!
Gotchas?
Well, it essentially does exactly what it is supposed to do.
(BTW, i have tested this with Filr 1.0.1 some time ago, if 1.1 behaves
differently this would bw a MAJOR product change.)
Given:
Two internal Users A+B with the homedirs pointing to the exact same path
\\Server\Dir
One external User c@tld
* User A logs in and creates a directory X and shares it with contribute
rights to c@tld.
* User c@tld logs in and creates a file X\file
* User B logs in, see a folder X and the file with A as the author. The
folder IS NOT shared to everyone (at least as far as user B is concerned,
the user does NOT set the sharing details of user A)
* User B shares the same folder X with c@tld with view only rights.
* User c@tld clicks the link from User B and IS NOT able to contribute.
* User c@tld is puzzled and calls User A asking why his rights have been
revoked.... etc. etc.
* User B has the (for him readonly) data somewhere else and calls the folder
X obsolete and deletes it.
* User A and c@tld are really pissed off.... etc. etc.
* User c@tld has several different links with potentially different rights
all pointing to the same physical location...
etc.
Again, it does exactly what it is supposed to do - from a technical point of
view, but this might not be what the users/organization can
handle/expect...

Will there be an "Ignore User" function on the New Forums?

...and, if somehow I've missed an existing ignore feature in the current forums, could someone tell me where it's located/how it's activated?
Thanks...

Assign Task to a specific user based on the value of DDL from the form

Hello,
Can any one please advise me on how to assign a task to a specific user based on the value of the drop down list from the form. E.g. user fills the form and before they submit the form they have to select one of the name from the drop down list so the form can go to that person for approval.
Thanks in advance,
Han

I got it works now by using the xpath expression (in workbench) to assign to the selected user from the DDL in the form.

Changing user password in the external LDAP server from weblogic

Hi !
We have been successful in configuring the ldap security realm from weblogic 7.0.
We have also done the user authentication.
Now we want to allow the user himself to change his password from the application.Can
the user password which is stored in an iplanet directory server be changed from
application?If yes , then is there any extra configuration that needs to be done

I am not sure whether u got an answer for this..
But iplanet provides a web-link for end-users to change their LDAP password...u
can just give this link in ur app ..and iplanet will take care of the rest..

Users are receiving the invalid response email from the Workflow mailer

Hi All,
The problem we are getting in the workflow is that when a user receives a response notification and the user responds to it then the user are receiving the invalid response email.
The error in the email sent back is
Error Message : Ora-01001 invalid cursor
Error stack: &MAIL_STACK_ERROR
I am unable to replicate the issue in test instance so that we can try to find some solution.
Please can some one help me out it is really a high priority for us currently
Thanks,
Varun

This does not happen for all the responses, it happens with some responses but it continues to happen untill we bounce the workflow services.
Regarding the conditions under which this is caused we are not sure of it, if we know under what coonditionns this happens then may be we can try for the solution.
Thanks,
Varun

Allan Sampson - congrats on hitting 30K points in the iPhone forums!

Quite an achievement, and thanks on behalf of the literally thousands of people you've helped here!

May I add my congratulations as well. He has done fine for me, and we have done things together for others. I respect his posts and his point of view on many things.

How to grant new user permission when the acct is created from application?

Our application team will randomly create users in DB. But the new user need to have the permission of "execute on DBMS_SNAPSHOT, DBMS_STAT, DBMS_SYSTEM" being granted from sys. We need to grant it automatically after the user is created. I was thinking about using DDL "create" trigger or just DDL database trigger. Once the trigger is fired off, issue the grant statement. We can capture the create even for the user, but got error when running the grant in the trigger or from the procedure called by trigger. My guess is that the "grant" is a DDL and DDL trigger cannot start another DDL statement. I also think about put the insert trigger on the sys.user$. But oracle would not let trigger being created on the sys tables or views.
What can we do now? The other option, I am wondering if there is a system package that can call external program (like Unix shell script) from the DDL trigger, to let the shell script do the grant, since this may not be considered as the same execution tree. Do we have such package to call from database to the UNIX shell script? Or for such need, do we have any other option?
Thanks for help!

The application teams do not have the sys permission. If the application has privileges to CREATE USER, it can then issue GRANT
Change the privileges.
But they want this being resolved from DBA.DBA did NOT make this problem.
The flawed application created the problem.
Alternatively CREATE PROCEDURE that can issue GRANT & have application call this new procedure.

How can i change the user that open the rfc connection (sm58) from R/3?

Hi all,
i'd like to know how can i customize the user 'connecting' R/3 and BW, i mean: when i launch a data extraction a fixed user creates the rfc connection to BW (and i can see it from tcode sm58 in r/3), i need to use a different username so that it will come be more easy for me to reorganize the rfc queue in case of errors (we are doing some testing), it's possible to do something like this or everyone has to share the same user r/3 side?
I hope i've been clear...
thanks for the help
S.

Hi...
Its recommended that only one user executes the RFC because you must manage the authorizations for remote execution only with few users....in case on error you can send the user as a parameter of the RFC and you can buid the error message with this parameter and identify the user of execution...
I hope this helps you
Regards

When booting up, the bluetooth connects and then disconnects with my trackpad 3 or 4 times then i get a gray cover over the desktop that drops from top to bottom then a window that tells me to use the power button to do a forced shutdown.

when booting up, the bluetooth connects and disconnects with my trackpad 3 to 4 times and then i get a gray sheet that drops down from the top to bottom of the desktop then a box in the center that tells me to use the power button to do a forced shutdown. wireless keyboard connects with no problem. went to the apple store and they replaced the bluetooth card. still have the same problem. removed the batteries from the trackpad, strted up and no problem connecting with wireless mouse and keyboard. anyone else experience this?

This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem. Here are steps to resolve the former.

My iMac 8,1 (early 2008) is running very slow. I continually get the spinning color wheel. The free space dropped from 133. GB to 87.86 GB in about 2 days. System memory is 2.00 GB with 1.25 GB free. kernel_task root 1.1 63 205.3 MB intel.

My Mac is running very slowly. After reading other posts I have attempted to gather more info for an easier more accurate response but not being computer savy am unsure what is helpful/necessary. The utilized space is 231.6 GB with 88.13 GB free. Memory is 2.00 GB w/ 1.25 GB free and 771.8 MB used. The kernel_task root 1.1 63 205.3 MB intel. What can I do to increase the speed and stop the spinning wheel? Thanks for all your help.

Points cheating at the Playground forum

hi,
this might sound really silly, but, i just noticed that you could actually connive with someone and give each other points in the Playground forum.
while i know that it would be very easy to trace, and correct, and not that points are of any relevance here at this point in time, i'd like to think that this option shouldn't be available in the first place.
of course i could be wrong, in the sense that maybe this problem has already been noted and is being worked on, but i just wanted to say it out in the open all the same. =)
ryan.

Hi,
Actually one can do this in all forums, so I don't see how this can be prevented.
I think that SDN people are mature enough and 'play' it fair. The points aren't the main goal of this community to my feeling, but (trying) to help people and share information and knwoledge.
