Mysterious Changing Dates

A number of my files (Word docs, iTunes files, etc.) are suddenly sporting new "last modified" and "last opened" dates that are far into the future (8/22/18, for example). This seems like it could be a system problem. Any ideas as to what's going on?

Sometimes when I receive docs from others, I see that too, but if your Mac clock/time zone etc. are all good, it may be the former.

Why do I have mysterious cellular data usage (Verizon) every 6 hours on all 3 of my iphone 5's?

I have recently uncovered mysterious cellular usage on three different iPhones. I am a Verizon customer and discovered this by examining the cellular data use logs. What I found are a long series of mysterious data usage logs. I have visited the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store 3 times now to log notes and discuss the issue. It is being escalated.
The characterstics are as follows:
All my family phones have the appropriate IOS and hardware updates (verified by the GeniusBar at my local Apple Store).
This is occuring across three phones, which happen to all be iphone 5. Two are 5 and the other a new 5s. We do have one iphone 4 in the family but the issue (so far as I can tell), is not happening on it.
One iphone 5 has IOS 7, the other IOS 6. The new 5s has of course IOS 7.
Mysterious data use happens even while connected to wifi.
Each mysterious data use log entry is exactly 6 hours apart. For example: 2:18 AM, 8:18 AM, 2:18 PM, 8:18 PM, 2:18 AM ... etc. It cycles AM and PM, same times, for a day to many days until some condition causes it to change (evolve).
The times evolve. One day it could be cycling through at one time series, then it changes to another time sequence and continues until the next condition.
The data usage is anywhere from a few K to many MB. The largest I've seen is over 100 MB.
The logs clearly show these usages are not due to human interaction. It is a program.
If cellular connection is used frequently (by the owner), the pattern is hard to pick out. Luckily, my family member is very good about only using wifi whenever possible, so these mysterious use patterns are easy to pick out.
Verizon allows access to 90 days worth of data logs, so I downloaded and analyzed them. This has been happening for at least 90 days. I have found 298 instances of mysterious use out of 500 total connections to cellular. A total of 3.5 GB of mysterious cellular data has been recorded as used in that 90 days by this phone alone. Only .6 GB of the total cellular data use is legitimate, meaning by the person.
This issue is occuring across three different phones. Two are iPhone 5, and the third is a recently purchased iPhone 5s. The 5s I have not touched beyone the basic startup. I have left it alone on a desk for 3 days, and looking at the logs, the mysterious data use in the same pattern is occuring.
So ... I am speaking to both sides, Verizon and Apple to get answers. Verizon puts their wall up at data usage. It doesn't matter how it is being used, you simply need to pay for it. Yes, the evidence I have gathered is getting closer to someting on Verizon's end.
Before pressing in that direction, I am hoping someone reading this may recognize this issue as a possible iPhone 5 issue ... OR ... you, right now, go look at your data usage logs available through your carrier's web account, and see if you can pick out a pattern of mysterious use. Look especially at the early morning instances when you are most likely sleeping.
I am hoping this is a simple issue that has a quick resolution. I'm looking for the "ooohhh, I see that now ..." But I am starting to think this might be much bigger, but the fact is, most customers rarely or never look at their data usage details, much less discover mysterious use patterns.
The final interesting (maybe frightening part) thing about all this is that I discovered while talking to Verizon ... they do not divulge which direction the data is going. This goes for any use, mysterious or legitimate. Is cellular data coming to your phone, or leaving it? Is something pulling data from your phone? We know that it is possible to build malware apps, but the catch with my issue is that it is also happening on a brand new iphone 5s with nothing downloaded to it.
Thanks for your time

Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...

how to get changed data?
Edited by: Ki-Joon Seo on Dec 27, 2007 6:04 AM

Hi,
To get only the changed data in the ALV grid of a WD, you need to capture the "ON_DATA_CHECK" of the ALV grid.
To this please do the following in the ALV initialization of the ALV table settings :
    lr_table_settings->set_data_check(
            IF_SALV_WD_C_TABLE_SETTINGS=>DATA_CHECK_ON_CELL_EVENT ).
You may also do this:
    lr_table_settings->set_data_check(            IF_SALV_WD_C_TABLE_SETTINGS=>DATA_CHECK_ON_CHECK_EVENT)
The above two ways would depend on when do you need to check for the changed data. If you want to check the data as soon as it is entered, then use the first method. Else, use the second method.
You need to register an EVENT HANDLER for this event.(You may do this in your VIEW or Component Controller).
In this Event handler, you would find an importing parameter R_PARAM which is a ref type of      IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_DATA_CHECK.
The attribute T_MODIFIED_CELLS of this interface IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_DATA_CHECK will contain the modified cells of the ALV with the old & new values.

Can not change data in Input Ready Query

All,
I have created an input ready query on an aggreagation level which has one transactional cube underlying it however, after run the query I am unable to change data in the cells even though I get a warning message saying query is ready for input
Note:
1. The underlying realtime cube is in "Planning Mode:Loading not allowed" state in rsa1
2. I tried including all characteristics so that the record can be uniquely identified at that aggregation level).
3. I am not using any characteristic restrictions
4. I have not set any data slices
5. I have set the property for Planning "Start query in Change Mode"
6. I have set the 'Key Figure' Planning Properties to "Can be changed Manually or via Planning Functions" for the key figures
7. I do not have currency/unit in row/column.
8. There are any locks occurring
Any pointers welcome.
Thanks,
Milind

Hi Milind,
Was wondering how was your problem solved. I get the same message when I run the query in web from query designer and in bex analyzer the cells are not updated with the changes that I make.
I am hitting my head against the wall to figure what could be the problem as my plan query is simply based on aggregation level created directlty upon the real time info cube.
Have cross checked all the points that you mentioned in this post but I cells do not change.
There should be some way around to solve this problem.
Thanks

Can we change data in string object.

Can't view changed data in journal data

Hi,
I have implemented JKM Oracle 10g Consistent Logminer on Oracle 10g with the following option.
- Asynchronous_mode : yes
- Auto_configuration : yes
1. Change Data Capture -> Add to CDC, 2.Subscriber->subscribe (sunopsis),
3. Start Journal
The journal has been started correctly wothout errors. The journalized table has always the symbol "green clock". All is gook working.
And then i inserted 1 record in source table, but i can't view changed data in journal data. I can't understand why journal data was generated.
There are no errors.
Help me !!!

Did your designer was on the good context ?
Look the list box at the top right of the Designer interface.
You must have the same as the one where you define your journalization.

I can not map field after changing data source location

Hi
I have a small problem that I got a report file and database from my customer, after that I setup database, open the file and change data source to my setting. but some filed can not map. The field mapping widonw does not display all field in the table. Of course I have checked the missing fields are existing in the table.
OS:Windows7
DB:Oracle11
CR:XI Release 2
Does anyone have an idea?

hi,
In Map Fields window, there is an option "Match Type".
Please Unchek that option, so that you will be able to see all the fields from that table.
Also, while mapping please verify the datatypes of source and target fields.

Can you help me about change data captures in 10.2.0.3

Hi,
I made research about Change Data Capture and I try to implement it between two databases for two small tables in 10g release 2.MY CDC implementation uses archive logs to replicate data.
Change Data Capture Mode Asynchronous autolog archive mode..It works correctly( except for ddl).Now I have some questions about CDC implementation for large tables.
I have one senario to implement but I do not find exactly how can I do it correctly.
I have one table (name test) that consists of 100 000 000 rows , everyday 1 000 000 transections occurs on this table and I archive the old
data more than one year manually.This table is in the source db.I want to replicate this table by using Change Data Capture to other stage database.
There are some questions about my senario in the following.
1.How can I make the first load operations? (test table has 100 000 000 rows in the source db)
2.In CDC, it uses change table (name test_ch) it consists of extra rows related to opearations for stage table.But, I need the orjinal table (name test) for applicaton works in stage database.How can I move the data from change table (test_ch) to orjinal table (name test) in stage database? (I don't prefer to use view for test table)
3.How can I remove some data from change table(name test_ch) in stage db?It cause problem or not?
4.There is a way to replicate ddl operations between two database?
5. How can I find the last applied log on stage db in CDC?How can I find archive gap between source db and stage db?
6.How can I make the maintanence of change tables in stage db?

Asynchronous CDC uses Streams to generate the change records. Basically, it is a pre-packaged DML Handler that converts the changes into inserts into the change table. You indicated that you want the changes to be written to the original table, which is the default behavior of Streams replication. That is why I recommended that you use Streams directly.

Yes, it is possible to capture changes from a production redo/archive log at another database. This capability is called "downstream" capture in the Streams manuals. You can configure this capability using the MAINTAIN_* procedures in DBMS_STREAMS_ADM package (where * is one of TABLES, SCHEMAS, or GLOBAL depending on the granularity of change capture).

A couple of tips for using these procedures for downstream capture:
 1) Don't forget to set up log shipping to the downstream capture database. Log shipping is setup exactly the same way for Streams as for Data Guard. Instructions can be found in the Streams Replication Administrator's Guide. This configuration has probably already been done as part of your initial CDC setup.
 2) Run the command at the database that will perform the downstream capture. This database can also be the destination (or target) database where the changes are to be applied.
 3) Explicitly define the parameters capture_queue_name and apply_queue_name to be the same queue name. Example:
 capture_queue_name=>'STRMADMIN.STREAMS_QUEUE'
 apply_queue_name=>'STRMADMIN.STREAMS_QUEUE'

Unable to change Date Created in Metadata

Please help with my first post...
Unable to change Date Created field in Metadata.
I am a newspaper photographer sending .jpg pics with captions to my office from my iMac. They are viewed at the office on Windows PCs using SCC MediaGrid.
When changing Date Created in Metadata Invalid Format warning appears "Format should be ISO 8601 XML compliant, that is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm[:ss][tz] (eg 2006-07-11T13:14:30-07:00)"
If 2009-09-26, for example, is entered then exported pictures opened up in Photoshop or shown on SCC MediaGrid do not display the date.
To get dates to show up I first have to open a pic in Photoshop, go to File Info, enter 26/9/09 in Date Created and Save As.
Next I have to Import this into Aperture where the Date Created shows as "20090926".
Using Lift Metadata and Stamp Metadata the date can be transferred to other pics.
Now when I export these pics the date does show up in Photoshop and SCC MediaGrid.
Can Date Created be typed straight into field in Aperture?...Very important when pics go into archive on a server.
Also if I hit Return key in a Metadata Caption, to type on the next line, both lines will appear as one with a small square in-between them when viewed on SCC MediaGrid on a Windows PC.
Thanks in anticipation.

Nick I don't generallt use the IPTC metadata, so I'm not sure I will be too much help.
What version of Aperture are you using? I tried both things and I didn't have any problems with the latest version of Aperture on my Mac.
I was able to enter a date into "Date Created" both with and without the time-zone adjustment. Can you tell us the exact string you tried to enter into the "Date Created" and exactly when you get the error? I tried to enter my time zone (eastern US) as "-5:00", but Aperture wouldn't let me enter the 5 and popped up the error message when I typed that key. I had to use "-05:00".
As for the caption, when I hit return, Aperture ends my edit. I cannot reproduce your described behavior of actually getting a new-line into the field. I suspect your problem (although I don't know how you get to your problem) is one of the following:
1) The IPTC standard doesn't tell if the software should use a Unix-style end-of-line (which is a line-feed), or a DOS/Windows style end-of-line (which is carriage-return followed by line-feed). Aperture may put in the Unix-style and your Windows programs don't know what to do with it.
2) The IPTC standard does indicate the end-of-line style, but either Aperture or your other programs don't follow it.
or
3) IPTC Metadata doesn't actually support end-of-line, so Aperture should not allow you to enter multiple lines, but it has a bug so it does allow you to do that.
Can you tell us where exactly you are editing the caption? I tried it in the inspector pane (on the left) in the "Metadata" tab, and then I hit the "IPTC" button at the bottom of the tab.

Identifying Changed Dates on Documents in SAP B1

Greetingsu2026I have an unusual request that is somewhat long, very serious, and hope folks can help.
A headquarters customer believes a subsidiary company has u2018made upu2019 dates on invoices for previous billings. They describe the date changes as u2018radicalu2019 but I have not personally seen these invoices as of yet and am waiting a FAX. They requested I go into SAP B1 to see if someone has fabricated or made up or changed invoice dates and who it was. They have some specific large-dollar invoices identified to research. The person under suspect (who is no longer there) was considered an expert in SAP B1, so maybe she knew all of the different ways to change dates around. Being an expert means also she might have used some unusual ways to change dates to the ones she wanted.
Here are some of my ideas to discover this situation, but I hope someone can suggest even more steps because I would like to know every way that this situation can be discovered.
1. Open the AR Invoices and use Data > Change Log and concentrate on dates.
2. Run some SQL to validate document dates and system dates. SELECT T0.DocNum, T0.DocDate, T0.CreateDate, T0.TaxDate, T0.UpdateDate FROM OINV T0 WHERE (T0.DocDate does not equal T0.CreateDate OR T0.TaxDate does not equal T0.CreateDate). The results would show invoices that maybe had their dates changed.
3.Run a Document Journal in the Financial Module. Finance > Financial Reports > Accounting > Document Journal with the u2018Expanded Selectionu2019 of AR Invoices and a date range covering the invoices in question. Then see if the Transaction Numbers are out of sequence.
4. Run a Transaction Journal Report Financials > Financial Reports > Accounting > Transaction Journal Report with AR Invoices. Compare this report to Document Journal.
5. Run the Utilities functions of Utilities > Check Document Numbering to see if there any anomalies there in the document numbers.
6. Run the Administration > System Initialization > Document Numbering function to see if a special series has been set up.
7. Check out the AR Invoice numbering order by running another simple SQL covering a range of the invoices in question. SELECT T0.DocNum, T0.TaxDate, T0.CreateDate, T0.UpdateDate FROM OINV T0 WHERE T0.DocNum > 1583 AND T0.DocNum < 3251 ORDER BY T0.CreateDate. Then see if the AR Invoice Numbering Sequence is not consistent.
8. Check out those documents that are connected to each suspect AR Invoice and their associated dates by using the Target and Base Document icons. For example, if a Deliver Document has dates of January 2007 but the AR Invoice date is September 2006, then someone has played around with dates on at least one of the documents.
9. Get copies of the complete company database before the alleged changes were made and a company database as of today and compare the two contents. Only good if the backups are maintained for a long time.
Here come the questions on the ways I BELIEVE dates can be changed but not sure how to find and need to work on them:
QUESTION 1 u2013 If a person DTWs invoices up into SAP B1, how can I tell that DTW was used to change the dates, the date of the DTW run, and the dates that were changed?
QUESTION 2 u2013 If a person uses SQL to update dates on SAP B1, how can I find out that SQL has been used, the date of the SQL run, and the dates that were changed?
QUESTION 3 u2013 If a person goes out and changes the workstation and/or server Date and Timestamp Properties, how can I find that they did that and the date changes? You can do this on your PC by just changing the month, date, and year in Microsoftu2019s Date and Timestamp Properties.
QUESTION 4 u2013 I know SAP has a policy that no SQL can be used to update databases and/or tables and have been told some customers lost support because they did this. What does SAP do to discover this in their lab?
QUESTION 5 u2013 Are there any notes in the portals to help me find changed dates?
QUESTION 6 u2013 Are there any logs SAP B1 produces that can help identify such changes and how do I find and use them?
QUESTION 7 (and this is big) u2013 Are the other ways dates can be changed on AR Invoices and how would I uncover the way it was done and the needed information of Original Date and Changed Date?
Many, many thanks for any help provided since this is a serious situation. If you can make any suggestions it would be greatly appreciatedu2026

Edited by: Zal Parchem on Mar 13, 2009 7:31 AM

Hi Zal
If this person was an "Expert" on SAP Business One then the only way they would have changed dates would probably be directly in SQL itself. The best way to determine this would be to hope that they slipped up somewhere and forgot to change a particular date in let's say one specific table.
For invoices, start with the post date, doc date & create date. Then check each of these to the OJDT/JDT1 tables for any discrepancies. Next check the ADOC/ADO1 table for multiple instances on the invoice. If only 1 instance then check the create date, time & user as well as the aforementioned dates between OINV/INV1 & ADOC/ADO1. If multiple instances, check the dates from 1 instance to the next (This will indicate dates being changed in the system).
Next check the same dates against OINM table. If any of the dates do not tally then the SQL was changed directly.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.
Kind regards

Approaches to transfer changed data from a table to another table

Hello expert,
will you please show me all approaches to automatically detect and transfer changed data from a table to another table ? I don't need detail information, but a little comment for those approaches are more welcome.
Many Thanks,

You will want to review information on replication and similar methods
In a nutshell:
Replication allowed data to exist at more than one site and take the Master / original table data and clone it at a different site
As tranporting all of the table data to a remote / clone site got more and more expensive we developed a method
to identify just the 'diffs' and only send those from the master to the clone which needed only the diffs to become a clone of the master table
This has many methods and options, but looking under key words such as
- distributed transations
- materialized views
- replication
... are a few categories that will get you started

Change Data Capture How to Tell which you are running Sync or Asyn

Hi ,
I am taking over a new system that has change data capture running, but Im really confused how this is running. Most of the CDC is set up using Sync(triggers), but I have about 5 tables that DO NOT have system generated triggers on them. I know Streams is NOT running/configured. I know Capture is not running/configured (because nothing in DBA_CAPTURE table). I can tell that these 5 tables are still getting updated in the change table schema. I can not figure out how the 5 tables that DO NOT have triggers on them are updating the change data set tables.
I had thought the the 5 tables, must be configured with HOTLOG, but when I look at the CHANGE_SETS table they all (including these 5 tables) are set to CHANGE SOURCE NAME = SYNC SOUCE. I would expected that to be HOTLOG_SOURCE. So I "assume" they aren't set up using Asnc. hot log mode. So maybe the other Async modes are used, but not pushed to another database? Is that possible?
Any other ideas on how to figure out how the CDC is set up for these 5 tables?
thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply, but I think I must have not stated the problem clearly. I dont WANT to set the source I want to figure out how this CDC is working. I see ALL the sources are currently set to SYNC_SOURCE. Almost all of the tables are set up with system triggers on them, but 5 dont have system triggers, yet the source says SYNC_SOURCE. I did validate that the change tables are getting updated for these tables. my question is how are they getting updated? I "assume" since they dont have system triggers ont eh table they aren't synchoronus cdc (like the other tables are). yet the source says SYNC_SOURCE. What am I missing? How can I tell if the redo log is populating those changes tables? Im pretty sure it is (Becuase there aren't triggers or jobs running), but Im curious if there is a way to tell for sure.
Thanks,
