Naming of groups and share: unexpected behaviour

While setting up a new share on our MacPro with fully patched Snow Leopard Server I ran into a snag.
In Server Admin I created a new folder in Shared Items to share it, gave it a distinctive name (let it be oink for the sake of this example) and shared it. Than I opened Workgroup Manager and tried to create a group for the co-workers who should have access to that share. It was impossible to give the new group the same name oink as the the new share, instead I got an error message:
*The name you have chosen conflicts with a name assigned to another group.*
I than tried to find the group oink using the shell (it wasn't shown in Workgroup Manager). I used *dscacheutil -q group* to see all groups and oink still wasn't showing up. But I found another group I hadn't noticed before that the server must have created while I created the new share: com.apple.sharepoint.7. The server seems to create a group for each active share as they are activated, thus oink was the 7th activated share.
What strikes me as odd is that there must be a mechanism of using the name of the shared folder as an alias to the generic group name the server applies. Is anyone aware of this mechanism? Is there a way to see really all active group names including the aliases the server creates?
Working the other way around - creating the group first and a share with the same name afterwards - did not make any trouble.
Best regards,
Hans

Sorry friend; I can't understand what you are doing.
Callback is simply an RMI invocation in the other direction. That is, the Server calls remote methods on the Client. Therefore, the Client in essence becomes a Server.
The Client exports a remote object and passes it to the Server so the Server can call the Client. This tutorial works.

Managing users, groups and shares with Mavervicks server

I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard Server to Mavericks.
In Snow Leopard, WorkGroup manager was the primary way to create shares, users and groups. Now it would seem that it is optional and in fact, I do not even see how to create a share in WorkGroup except for perhaps a group share which I'm not quite sure how to do.
For my setup, I have setup Open Directory and create a few Local Network users. DHCP is managed via my airport and the DNS is on but only for server and points to my Airport IP address.
QUESTIONS:
Should I be managing users with WorkGroup manager or server app, Whats the advantage?
I don't have user profiles (files) stored on the server they are local. That being the case, why does each user have a network folder on the server?
Thanks!

Workgroup Manager and MCX are deprecated. These technologies should only be used if you can not accomplish your tasks with Server.app and Profile Manager. If you have specific requirements that can not be satisfied in Server.app and Profile Manager you should send feedback to Apple.
So to your questions:
Should I be managing users with WorkGroup manager or server app, Whats the advantage?
I don't have user profiles (files) stored on the server they are local. That being the case, why does each user have a network folder on the server?
1: Ideally, no. Unless... You are supporting machines prior to 10.8.5 or can not find an equivalent function in Server.app and Profile Manager. There is no advantage to using it. Apple will eventually stop distributing it. It is available now for legacy support only. If you have a need for MCX management then WGM remains viable. But, ideally, you should be looking to Profile Manager.
2: This is because you created your accounts using Local Home Folder template instead of None - Services Only. The Local Home Folder template has the unfortunate side-effect of creating a user home folder on the server. I too dislike this. If you only want to use the accounts for services, then you should create the accounts using None - Services Only. By the way, it is safe to delete these home folders if you would like.

RMI and Callbacks - unexpected behaviour

Hi,
Following the success of connecting to and invoking methods on my first remote RMI server - I am trying to implement a callback client/server in my RMI application.
// Client
private void doLogin()
    server.login(name,password,eventHandler);
void loggedIn(IRemoteUser user) throws RemoteException
    this.remoteUser = user;
// Server
void login(String name, String password, ICallBackEventHandler handler) throws RemoteException
    IRemoteUser user = new RemoteUserImpl(name,password);
    this.userHandler = handler;
    userHandler.loggedIn(user);
}When the client logs in the server invokes the loggedIn method passing a reference to the server's IRemoteUser object - this seems to work ok. However, when the client invokes a method on the returned object (the IRemoteUser) - it seems not to be invoking a RMI call - instead it gets appears to invoke locally (I put a println in the sayHello method which outputs to the clients stdout).
// Client
remoteUser.sayHello();     // outputs 'hello' to the clients stdout *not* the servers.( both IRemoteUser and ICallbackEventHandler extend java.rmi.Remote )
Initially I thought it may be because i was running the server on localhost, but now I have moved the server to a different machine and am still facing the same problem.
Any ideas/suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Rich.

What is difference between distribution list and share point group? Can we add distribution list into person and group column of share point list?

there is a workaround you can try, create audience and add DL to them and deal with the audience or convert DL to groups

Powershell script for security groups and users for multiple share folders

Hi scripting team,
I need your help with powershell script for the below queries
1. List out the security groups for more than one server share path and output it to a file ( csv )
For eg.
If the are are two share paths
\\servername\foldermain\folder1
\\servername\foldermain\folder2
So I needs the list of security groups for each share path
And the output needs to be under each any every path.
2. Grab the users belongs to main security groups and it nested groups for more than one security group and listed the users under each and every group. No need to display nested groups. Just users belongs to main group and users under nested.
Your teams help is much appreciated
Thank you.

Issues with groups, users and shares.

I have created new users and groups and assigned them to specific shares, however when the new users, that belong to the respective groups login, they are not seeing the shares. Can anyone give me some settings to trouble shoot.
I had exisiting shares, from the snow leopard server installation, and they are working fine... new users aren't taking...
thanks for any thoughts...

Lion server runs fine, there are a lot of folks mad as some (most) gui functions were taken away and they seem to suggest the "don't use Lion server" as their answer to anything. Just ignore.
Obviously, you have file sharing turned on, so, that's not it. Within file sharing in server app, for a share that does not seem to work, are you SURE the permissions are correct? Click on the share and the pencil. Does the group have read and or write access? Is the box checked that says share with mac clients?
Are you trying to use it for a home directory for a network based account? That's another checkbox on that screen.
ALL my accounts and shares are NEW as like you, it was on a new server. They all work.

Show and Share API : Uploading a video to a particular user group

Hi,
I am trying to find a API spec for uplaoading a vide in Show and Share portal for a specific user group. But could not find such thing as usergroup, but just the Content Viewership is available where we need to input all the ____USERNAME____ to upload with access to the users rather than a user group.
I would like to know if anyone can direct me to upload to specific usergroup rather than user.
Thanks in Advnace,
JK

Jeffrey,
What is the content format of the ORIGINAL source comment?
- download MEDIAINFO video analysis program from the web.
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
- After installed, file->open-> pick your source file with issue.
- change the view to TEXT and copy\paste the results into a
TEXT file and upload here.
From the MXE, highlight the SnS-MXE job and right click and
open the JOB XML. Same thing save the XML code in a text
file and upload here
Sidenote: did you download the DMSprofile.zip file from the web
and install the DMS profiles in the profile directory?
Thanks

SAP Personas: An unexpected behaviour has been detected and you have been disconnected – please log in again.

Hallo everyone,
We are installing Personas and facing several challenges.
Personas 2 SP02 was installed according to instructions of Note '1848339 - Installation and Upgrade note for Personas' and configured according to the Config Guide v1.3 (rel. May 2014). The referenced notes were also applied as well as the 'How to config - FAQ' blog by Sushant.
We are able to log on and execute transactions and perform activities successfully (e.g. SE80, SPRO, KB15, etc.).
When trying to copy a screen the following error appears: 'An unexpected behaviour has been detected and you have been disconnected - please log in again.'
Thereafter one can simply continue executing transactions without having to log in again.
Please see the download of the error attached as per blog: SAP Screen Personas Support Tips – client side logging
The HAR is unfortunately too large to attach. Are there any alternatives?
Thank you in advance for you assistance!
Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi,
I have never worked on SAP PERSONA but you can try below things
1)try to use different user or J2ee_admin since it might be same user multiple session case
2) Try with different browser since plugins can behave unexpectedly
3)Make entry in host file also
4) check dev_icm logs
5) check on ABAP side for dumps in ST22
Warm Regards,

Hi apples-consecutive-buyer-for-life,
Family Sharing makes all of your past purchases available to other family group members, including most apps. See this article on what content can be shared -
Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing
Note also that content can be hidden. See this article -

"file in use" and other "unexpected" error messages

I may have found a bug in Tiger, and in case nobody has a plausible explanation for the problem, I will send a bug report:
I copied a locked file (shows a little lock symbol in its icon) from one Mac to the other via a network share (using Finder). I then tried to open that file on the other Mac, but failed with the error message "file in use". But the computer the file had been copied from had already disconnected and shut down, and the Mac I had copied the file to had booted once.
I then looked at the file security settings, but found nothing abnormal. But I was not allowed to change any of the security settings (owner and permissions).
I then tried the Terminal and tried commands like "sudo chmod" or "sudo chown", and got nothing but error messages.
What kind of operating system does not allow the supervisor ("root") to change file permissions?!?
I then tried to repair the volume, but DiskUtility thinks all is OK. Fine. And the file is obviously NOT in use (otherwise the volume could not have been unmounted).
I finally tried the tool SetFileInfo from the development system to change permissions and type/creator. "sudo SetFileInfo -whatever" gives "unexpected error". Aha, "unexpected". So there is something wrong in Denmark. Or California.
At least there is one hint what's going wrong: GetFileInfo shows an abnormal type/creation combination, something like "brok" and "macs".
The only thing I finally managed to do with the file was "sudo rm". I got some warning about unknown user and unknown group and override whatever, then the file was deleted. At least I think so. After removing the "locked" flag the copy process went fine, and the copy of the file could be opened on the other Mac, so it seems that there is a problem with copying "locked" files.

Thank you for that hint! It does not fix the bug, but opens a way to a workaround.
I repeated the test, i.e. copied a locked file, and indeed the copy is protected with a "uchg" flag.
Removing the "uchg" flag still left the file locked, i.e. no other attribute (owner/group/rwx) could be changed. But the SetFile command now was able to remove the creator ('MACS') and type ('brok') settings.
After that the "second lock" had been removed, and now the "locked" attribute could be removed, and after having removed this third lock the file was accessible.
So I think that was enough of (unpaid) investigation, and I am going to send a bug report to Apple.

Help! My photos won't stream to the cloud and share with other devices. ( I've had the photo stream button on all the time I've had the phone.) The only way I can do it is by manually adding them to photo stream and this is very slow/ misses photos..

Hello,
I'm very frustrated. I need to delete photos from my iphone to increase the storage so I can update the operating system. Since first using the phone I bought extra iCloud storage and ensured the photo streaming button for the iCloud was turned on.
Unfortunately it seems to have a mind of its own and will download and share some photos but the majority have not been downloaded.
I've resorted to manually putting them on photo stream (the one you share with friends) so the photos will be on my iPad. It also takes ages for my iphone to put them on the photo stream. It's downloaded one album x3 ..??!!? I've tried deleting the duplicated photos but it's now frozen on me....
I haven't dared delete the photos from my camera roll in case I loose them all and I'm therefore stuck in the situation of being unable to download the new operating system or take anymore photos/download music/apps. It *****!
Please Help!
Are there any other options for me to be able to download my photos when I don't have a computer/laptop? Is there a permanent online storage option I can use?
Thanks
Becky

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

Please let me know how things are going.

How to restrict sales group and sales office in va01?

in transaction "va01" ,I want to restrict "sales group" and "sales office", but there is no
relative authorization object. I create a role named "z1000test001" with va01 , there are only "division","sales organization"
and "distribution channel" which could be restricted.
the authorization object with va01 is : V_VBAK_VKO.
and I find another authorization:V_VBKA_VKO ,which contains:"sales group" and "sales office",
but this one seems have no relationship with va01.
Is there any method to restrict "sales group" and "sales office" in va01?
Could anybody help me?

Hello,
This has been discussed before and there's a solution available.
Have a look at this thread: Authorization for Sales Office and Sales Group

Unexpected behaviour upon pressing the 'Enter' key on dialog screen

Hi.
I have two dialog screens that exhibit unexpected behaviour when i pressed the 'Enter' key.
Screen 1: When I pressed the 'Enter' key, the focus shifted to another input field and the content of the previous input field is cleared. The thing is, I did not have any codes in PAI for 'Enter'. Why is this happening?
Screen 2: On load, some of the fields on this screen will be disabled. However, when I pressed the 'Enter' key, all the disabled fields become enabled. Again, I did not have any codes that handle the 'Enter' key in PAI. Why is this happening?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Atish.
Yes, I have used CHAIN... END CHAIN.
I thought that CHAIN... END CHAIN allows my input fields to be re-activated after an error message is displayed.
How would CHAIN... END CHAIN cause the unexpected behaviour?
Thanks.

Uploading YouTube videos/urls into Cisco Show and Share

We've just purchased the DMM 5.2 and the Show and Share appliance to host internal company videos but there are some YouTube videos out there that we want to pull into our Show and Share system as well. How can we do this? I've tried every possible combination of youtube url and embedded url that is out there, at least nothing that I've tried has worked thus far. I'm able to pull in other internal URLs of different videos (wmv format) without any trouble. Is this an issue with YouTube or perhaps with flv formatted video that YouTube uses (which should work according to the manual).
I know this is a new product, but is there anyone that can help?
Thank you in advance,
Chris

Chris,
The YouTube videos are typically Flash content.
The key here is that you need to download the Flash content
yourself and then Upload to the Show and Share.
Use the DIRECT URL of the Flash Content on YouTube to download
the FLV to you Personal device. After file successfully download, simply
upload the file to Show and Share.
For example:
Cisco Show and Share Flash Demo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzquCVvS0qQ
* this link is the actual Dashboard URL not the video link
http://v4.lscache8.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Coc%3AU0dWRlRRVF9FSkNNNl9MS1hB&fexp=904405%2C901902&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=34&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1271466000&key=yt1&signature=1E65C92607546EA03DE0D1082884574D3F58AD0F.93FF9FDB00B10B44BBB52F31AADF3EB50FCEB7CC&factor=1.25&id=673aae095bd2d2a4&
* Actual URL of Video Content
========================================================
FOR THOSE THAT ARE USING OSX & SAFARI:
======================================
If you need to download FLASH Content for TESTING in your DMS Solution, You
can download Flash Videos from YouTube.
Note: The Video Quality is NOT HD or even SD... it is ID (Internet Definition)
      Also, the downloaded file will be a .flv Flash File.
1. Open a Video on YouTube, Google Video etc.
2. Press "Alt+Cmd(Apple-Key)+A" - A window opens named "Activity".
3. Select the ".flv" file (looking on filesize helps) and press "Cmd(Apple-Key)+C" to copy.
   Paste with "Cmd(Apple-Key)+V" the URL to your Adress Bar and press Enter.
4. If you need a different video format such as MPEG, WMV, or SWF; you will need to convert
   the downloaded ".flv" file with VisualHub or VLC
If this answers your question, Please take time to mark this
discussion answered & rate the response.
Thank You!
