Opening a container in read-only mode (DB_RDONLY, setReadOnly())

I have one process access a container in normal mode and another accessing it in read-only mode (XmlManager::openContainer with DB_RDONLY or XmlContainerConfig. setReadOnly(true) ), both with transactions. Is this:
(1) wrong (potentially dangerous);
(2) pointless (no benefits for the read-only process);
(3) reasonable (potential benefits for the read-only process)?
Whatever the answer, why is it so?

hi,
Read only means you cannot mofiy the file. This also includes that you cannot delete a readonly-file yes,
what i am doing is i have three button in my layout 'save','view' and 'delete'.
1.so when user press 'save' button after selecting the file then the file gets saved into the specified.
2. when user press 'view' button the file has to open in read only mode.
for this i have written above mentioned code(but still i am able to edit the file)
3.when user press 'delete' button the file has to be deleted from the specified location.
so my problem is after setting file to read only mode, i am able to edit but i am not able to delete it.
What i am using to set the file to read only mode is right?
Please help.
Thanks..

                GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

I know it's a very old issue and I reached to this page looking for a solution. Finally, I have found a fix to this problem.
The problem is that we create an instance of Word and do not close it correctly. This makes program believe that the file is already open and hence you're getting the respective message of file being locked by you.
Set the visibility of your application to true and then when you close it both file and instance should close and you will not get the problem again.

I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

Open a document in read only mode

HI All,
I created a panel in which we have
edit box which shows the document path
Browse button to allow a user to select an indesign document
"Open read only" button.
My requirement is that after selecting an Indesign document if user click to "OPen read only" button then it will opened selected document in read only mode.
I will be highly thankfull to all community memeber if anyone can give me some hint to achieve this.
Regards,
Alam

Alam,
If you change the attributes of the file before opening it to read only the file will be opened as read only by Indesign. And then you could place a responder that could clear this read only flag when the file is being closed so that the permissions are restored to the original state.

How to open office document in read only mode

Hi,
I've a library that contains Excel Documents. I've create an access group with read permission.
A user belonging to this group can open a document in Excel, do changes and save back the document to the library. This is not what I want.
I want to allow users to open the document but not save it back to the library. How can I do it?
Best regards.

To check at the document level...
1) Navigate to the document library and choose a random document that a user in that group should have access to
2) Go to "View Properties" of the document. Choose "Shared With"
3) Than choose "Advanced"
This will bring up the specific permissions for a specified document.
Also for a test, try creating another permission level for a test user.
1) go to "Site Settings"
2) Choose "Site Permission"
3) In the ribbon choose "Permission Levels"
4) Choose to "Add a permission Level"
5) Give the level a name... and only give it the access to read. Add a test user and see if you still get the same results. If not than you have you fix.
Let me know if this helps
Thanks, Danny Hickman IT Support Specialist

Not able to open XMind files from IE in read only mode

I have configured my SharePoint Farm to support .xmind file types
Below are the steps I have done
1.
Added an entry in DOCICON.XML
    <Mapping Key="xmind" Value="xmind_file1.png" EditText="XMind Mapping Software" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
2. Added an entry in htmltransinfo.xml
    <Mapping Extension="xmind" AcceptHeader="application/vnd.xmind.workbook" HandlerUrl="" ProgId=""/>
3. Added a MiME type 'application/vnd.xmind.workbook' in the Inetmgr.
Now, xmind files are getting detected, but I am not able to open xmind files in read only mode from IE.
Xmind files are working perfectly from Mozilla, but my client wants the xmind to be working perfectly from IE.
Need a help on this issue....

Hi Aries,
   Please find the screenshot below , while I am trying to open the xmind file in read only mode. It is redirecting the user to a blank page...
Also please find the extract from the fiddler when trying to open it after selecting the read only mode

Open CRMM_ACCOUNT in Read-Only-Mode

hi,
i want to open the application CRMM_ACCOUNT out of a bsp application in a new window. Ok, no problem... (thanks to all the posts before )
BUT: How can i open the Account in read only mode?
yours Michael

Hello,
If you look into the standard of MAC CL_BSP_ACC_ACCMOD, you will find in read method of super class CL_BSP_BP_ACCMOD the following coding :
Activity "display": don't allow to change anything
    IF gv_activity = gc_activity-display.
      CALL METHOD cl_bsp_bp_global_service=>set_field_attr
        EXPORTING
          iv_object_key            = ls_object-object_key
          iv_screen_structure_name = iv_screen_structure_name
          iv_field_property        = gc_no_change
        CHANGING
          ct_field_attribute       = et_field_attribute
          ct_dd03p                 = gt_dd03p.
    ENDIF.
So, the only way to put the account application in display is to work on the fields attributes.
Regards,
Fred

Database Open in Read Only Mode

Hi
I would like to open database in read only mode
like
SQL> startup mount
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY
this will open database for read only mode for all user
i want to give read write access on database to one user
any idea how i can proccess
Thanks
Chetan

Hi,
Alter database open read only;
this should work fine and everything will be in read only mode. Hence if any auditing is going on and audit_trial=db then it fails to open the database in read only mode.
If you want to control only users to stop writing to it, you may remove tablespace quotas for those users. Also, you may control them through grants. Remove any current grants assigned to them or to roles through which the grants are assigned.
Several ways to do this. If you tell us the particular scenario then we might help in getting a solution.
Regards,
Vasu.

How to open a view to a Item in "read only" mode directly from SAP Logon.

Hello Gurus;
We need to display a given portfolio item to the user in display (read only) mode.
We have managed to open a view to the portfolio item using function INM_UI_NAV_GET_OIF_URL to obtain its URL and FM CALL_BROWSER to open it. The problem is that the item is opened in edit mode.
Is there any way to open this item in read only mode (and disable the 'Edit' button as well)?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Please, anybody can solve this?
Regards.

if I disable the system triggers using
ALTER SYSTEM SET "_system_trig_enabled"=FALSE scope=both;
The error doesn't appear but when trying to switch to active dataguard the open_mode goes from READ ONLY to MOUNTED rather than READ ONLY WITH APPLY
Any help much appreciated

Have you checked what your guard status is set to?
SQL> SELECT guard_status from v$database;I've had a similar issue before but with a standby, whereby the status was set to ALL. This means all users apart from SYS are unable to make changes on the database.
My resolution was to set the status to standby:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE GUARD STANDBY;You may wish to set the guard status to NONE however.
I took some notes:

Roll back segments into READ-ONLY Mode

To bring an v8 database into READ-ONLY Mode do we need to put the Roll back tablespace RBS also into READ-ONLY Mode?

You can put database in READ ONLY mode in Oracle 8i
READ ONLY / READ WRITE Example
The first statement below opens the database in read-only mode.
The second statement returns the database to read-write mode and clears the online redo logs:
ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ WRITE RESETLOGS;---
