Notification for all Users

Hi all,
lately, I've been trying to notify all my users (OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1) in case of downtime or deployment tasks (e.g. "There will be a downtime today from 1 to 3 pm").
Some ideas I came up with were
a. ticker view on some dashboard.
b. send ibot to "all"
However, I couldn't find a way to place the ticker (in case a.) where all the users are forced to see it. Tickers are on dashboards, they cannot be placed on the answers-header or footer, right?
I also cannot rely on all the users properly filling the contact details in "My Account", so the ibot solution doesn't work either.
How do you accomplish this? Any other ideas? Am I missing something?
Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I would create a 'Landing Page' and force each user to navigate to this page at first login. You can use this page for messages as well as for a navigation starting point. This way you have to display the message only once.

HELP! Acrobat 9 - How to get rid of updater notification for all users without admin rights

I just bought Acrobat Pro 9 w/ volume licensing because Adobe said this would fix a problem we are having. Every morning we have users that login and get a box that says that do not have sufficient rights to update Adobe. I need this gone. Obviously I can't give them admin rights. We are running on 5 terminal servers running 2003 server. I just need a hack or something I don't really care.

How to suppress a Security Notifcation for all users

How can we suppress the notification If you open this document, anonymous usage data will be sent securely to this remote server: To learn more about what this means for you, please click on the 'Privacy and Security' button. check box - Allow collection of detailed usage data check box - Do not show again _________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________ I'm looking for a way to tick the box 'Do not show again' for all users perhaps through a registry setting that can be set via GPO? Thanks, Brian

Well as a workaround you can create an email address/folder and provide this in SOCT and then from this mail folder , setup a rule to forward the mail to all receipients.

To stop email notification for a user regarding PR release in workflow

Hi All,
I am new to workflow.
I need to stop an email notification for a user who receives it for PR release.
I checked earlier posts which stated some send email steps in workflow and extended notifications.
But I am not aware of any of this things.
Can you all please help me in resolving this? As i hardly know anything about workflow.
How can i check where this email notification gets triggered or from where it picks the user id?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Dharmin
Identify which workflow is for PR:
Go to T Code SWI2_FREQ
Select the appropriate date range
Work item Type should be (Sub-)Workflow
Execute
You will get the list of ALL workflows triggered during the given time interval
Hopefully, the developers in your system have maintained the correct Work item text and you can identify the PR workflow . Pick the WSxxxxxxxx number from the "task" Column for the PR Workflow
Go to SWDD and analyze this workflow, check for steps which are sending the emails.
(simplest possibility)
Once you find the step, see if this can be blocked for a given user or not (or will it block for everyone).
Reach there and give us the details of the email step and we shall work out a way.
BTW - did you try to ask for the Functional and Technical Specs for this ?
It should contain some details to help you.

Modak

Send notification to all users of specific responsibility in 11i

Hi All,
Is there anyway to send notification to all users of specific responsibility in 11i ?
I have a setup form for hierarchy level (e.g level 1 - 5) by which each level will be notified either by responsibility or user?
If its setup by responsibility, notification will be sent to all users under that responsibility.
Do i have to create role using WF_DIRECTORY.CreateAdHocRole and add all users for specific responsibility to the role?
Also if the responsibility setup changed, how to maintain the existing notification with the old resp.
eg. level 1 is set to resp X then later on set to resp Y.
Regards,
Fendy

Use 'Expand Roles' to achieve this. Please check the WF Developers Guide to see how it works.
Yes, you may use wf_directory.createadhocrole for this purpose too.
What do you mean when you say the responsibility has changed? It it is end-dated no notification should be sent to any of its members. It depends on the assignments of the role/user. if the assignment is used then the user will get it. If the assignment is end-dated then the user will not get the notification.
You can always use wf_local_synch.Propagate_user_role to change the assignment of a user/role. If you want to end-date it, you can use it. Or you can add another user to the role, etc.
Hope this helps,
Alejandro

How do I disable the itunes auto-update for all users?

I need to know if there is a way to disable the auto-update feature for all users that login to a windows XP computer.
I have disabled it for the account currently logged in as well as copy that user profile to the "default user" profile. However I have about 300 users that do not have admin rights that still get prompted to install updates.
Is there a way to disable the auto update as the default for all users. So that only I get the auto update notifications?

Bump -
No responses in over a week?
Does no one else run a network where users don't have admin rights?

How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?

How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?

I would think the about:config entries discussed are ex-factory set to values each user has to change individually, after the installation has run its course. The solution could be to have patched files ready to install post factum:

HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

How to set the same General settings for all users

Hi Experts,
How can i set the same general settings for all users e.g. marking the checkbox "Display header" to true for all users? General settings are possible under User Settings Button.
Regards,
Arti.

Hi Arti!
You can default user settings in a PFCG role, in the "personalization" tab.
If you have a PFCG role that is common to all your users, you can set the default values here.
However it does not prevent them to change these settings later, except if you modify the "user settings" fields properties in cProjects application.

How to set a common page for all users after loging on?

hi all,
Now "My Dashboard" is the default page after logon.
i want to set a default home page for all users. users can see the home page after loging on.
how to change the default dashboard from "My Dashboard" to "Home page" for all users?
thanks,
dan

Hi,
Steps:
Tried to set default dashboard for all the users.
1. Created a session init block
2. Used data source as select '/shared/SH Test/_portal/Test1' from dual
3. Assigned this value to PORTALPATH session variable
4. In Presentation services > Administration > My account > Default dashboard should be set to 'default'. Then only the dashboard specified in init block will be displayed otherwise My account will override the init block.
5. Save the changes made to rpd.
5. Logout and relogin to see if it is working fine. it is working perfectly fine.
For details please refer the GSC replication document. But it is for all the users.
if customer would like to have user/group based home page.
1. They may need to have 2 separate tables.
i. Group_path_tab with 2 columns. Group_id, portal_path
Have group wise portal path for all the groups
ii. User-group map table
Group_id, Group_name, user_id
User should be part of some group.
2. Then in the init block write the sql should be something like this
select A.portal_path from Group_path_tab A, User_group_map B
where B.user_id = :USER
and B.Group_id = A.Group_id
SO based on USER session variable, it will try to identify the group and then the portal_path.
Finally assign this value to PORTALPATH session variable.

How to set an adapted project dashboard view as initial for all users?

Hi all.
We have the cProjects project dashboard active and have defined (via settings, save as) a custom view with the columns relevant in this particular installation.
I can however only save this view with assignment "user" meaning that it only applies to the user logged on when creating it.
We are however looking to have a common global customized view that all users should begin with.
Compare the R/3 functionality with layout management in reports where you can define whether the layout should be
user specific or not
default
My question is therefore if it should be possible to save global views in the above example and if not how to achieve what we are looking for.
I assume one option could be to see if one can use BADI DPR_EVE_DASHBOARD but it seems this should be possible to handle within the application given that the field "Assignment" is there when you save the view. At the moment only with the value "user" available though ...
Regards / Anders

Hej Anders
You can save a default view for all users under administration mode:

How do I install an Add-on for all users

I wish to user the FoxFilter addon to prevent users from visit all websites, except a whitelist. This addon works fine. I just need the addon to work for all users on the computer. Not just the one the addon was installed for. Can this be done and if so, how?

This is very possible and you can do it in few very steps.
 1-First you have to download the xpi add-on file instead of installing it.
 2-Use the following command at the run prompt (type Windows + R): firefox -install-global-extension
 For example if your downloaded xpi add-on is on C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\
 Then you write firefox -install-global-extension C:\Users\Simon\Downloads
 Note : The addon will be normally available where every addon is. Keep in mind that only administrators can uninstall it.
Have a nice day
Sincerely,
Ahmed Nefzaoui

How do I completely disable initial "Checking Compatibility of Add-ons" pop-up for all users on a Citrix server where the FireFox was upgraded to 29.0.1

I have a set of Citrix servers, we need to upgrade the FireFox on them to 29.0.1
When I have done this, and a user runs FireFox, now the users are being presented with a pop-up "Checking Compatibility of Add-ons" which delays the start of FireFox.
I need to prevent this so users just see FireFox start up without any delays.
I have installed the add-on that re-enables extensions.checkCompatibility and tried various ways of implementing it like pref("extensions.checkCompatibility", false);
However we seem to have a situation where the add-on that enables the setting is not loaded yet so the setting is not implemented.
How do I solve this for all users?

You can try to set the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref to ignore on the about:config
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to specify new (default) values and possibly lock prefs.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Audio output device same for all users Yosemite

I use more then one account on my recent Macbook Pro. For the first account I like to have the audio output set to the speakers but for the other account I want the audio output set to the headphones.
With Mavericks the Macbook remembered the last audio settings for each user account.
With Yosemite any changes to the audio settings (input, output,system sound, etc.) on one account affects the audio setting on other the user account.
I tried various audio settings to see if it affected them all. It seems to.
I tried seeing if it happened only when the users accounts were logged in or it was different on boot etc. It seems to always change the settings for all users no matter what.
I tried resetting the PRAM but that did not solve it.
I tried a 3rd party program called AudiSwitcher from the App store to see if this could help but no luck.
I searched here and more widely to see if anyone else was reporting this and found one other person who seemed to mention the same problem and they concluded "I did some tests and came to the conclusion that the system now does not remember settings for each user, and applies the current setting of audio output for all accounts."
Curious to know:
     a) Does this affect other people? If not, I'll look for conflicting apps on my computer.
     b) Is this intended behavior or should I look for a way to report it as a bug?
     c) And most importantly if there is a way around it?
Thanks!

I'm also have the same problem. I tested it on fresh Yosemite installation without any additional software. Your mentioned my conclusion about tests.
