Page setup changes for different users

We had recently experienced page formatting changes all of a sudden. These reports were not modified nor changed but all of a sudden when users run the reports or if a developer open it in design the page setup was changed from landscape to portrait. Also, for the same object if another developer open it, it is fine for that one person.
Is there a individual setting or local setting for page setup?

after you have changed the print setting in the .rpt itself and if you are still experiencing the same behaviour:
1) first, try to see if just the .rpt itself is changing...i.e. send the report with saved data to someone that is experiencing the issue that also has crystal reports installed. if it is still happening in the crystal reports designer itself, then it is an issue for this forum.
2) if it is only happening in the web application, then you will want to repost to the appropriate sdk forum.

Page Setup Changes For iCal / Epson R1800

Hi
I am trying to print from iCal - using custom A4 paper sizes so that I can hole-punch the paper in an appropriate place. My problem is that when I try to print from iCal, the Page Setup is set at 'Roll Paper'. I can't change that setting and when I try to print on my Epson R1800 A4 sheet-fed paper, it keeps on coming up with paper not loaded error - I'm assuming because it's looking for Roll Paper. I'm getting so worked up about this I fear for the safety of my printer !!!
Any help would be welcomed.

SQL Loader and control file changes for different users

In the front end of my application I can select a data file and a control file, and load data to the table mentioned in .ctl file. Every user who logs in uses the same .ctl file and so loads onto the same table. Now I want the user to load data onto the table in his own schema. I can get the username of the user currently logged in and i want to insert it into that username.table. So can i copy the contents of the .ctl file into a variable, modify it into username.table in that string and pass that variable as a parameter to the sqlldr command instead of the .ctl file.
Or is there a better way how I can modify the same control file everytime to change tablename to username.tablename in .ctl file and pass to sqlldr to load data to table in local user schema table.
Thanks and Regards

Thanks for the reply .. user do have their user credentials but only for the application ... but all users use a common loader and control file once they log into the application. So irrespective of which user is logged in he selects the same control file and loads to the same table mentioned in the control file .. i instead want user to be able to load to the table in control file but into his schema like username.tablename instead of just the tablename mentioned in .ctl file.

Sales Employee does not change for different user on subsequent document

Experts,
This is probably a simple solution, but I can't find the answer. I'm running version 2007A.
I create a PO where my name is in the buyer field. When the GRPO is done by one of my warehouse guys, my name is still referenced in the buyer field. How can I make it so that the name of the person creating the GRPO is in the buyer field? Or is there another way to track who receives goods in?
Thanks in advance
Steve

Thanks Julie.
I'm just trying to track down inventory discrepancies and I think it would help if I knew who received the goods in.
Is there a query I can run that will return who created the GRPO?
Thanks
Steve

Printers do not show up in Page Setup Format for menu

Hello. I just installed Acrobat 9 Professional. Upgrade from AP7. For some reason, when I go to select the printer in the Page Setup> Format For> dropdown menu, the printers do not show up. When I try to make a pre-set for this printer it never works and always defaults back to Language Level 3, which gives me a postscript error when I try to print. It prints fine at Language Level 2 but I can't get the setting to stay. Any clues???
thank you in advance,
Randy

Geraldine,
There are some oddities in Pages' methods.
What you did was save the changed template which had been altered on the page but you also needed to "capture" and save the Layout or Section over the existing one in the document using the same name to replace it.
I will walk you through making your own version of a template.
1 Open a new document using the template you wish to customise.
2 Don't change anything yet, but open every section from the Sections pull down menu so you have a sequence of pages each with a page of a different section design.
3 Make Master Objects selectable if they are not.  Change each Section to your liking.
4 +Menu > View > Page Thumbnails+
5 Select first Thumbnail in sidebar  +Menu > Format > Advanced > Capture Pages… > Name : Type exactly the same name as the section > It will ask you if you want to replace the existing section > Replace+
6 Repeat this for each section until you have replaced them all.
7 +Menu > File > Save as Template… > Save with a New Name+
8 +Menu > File > New from Templates > My Templates > Choose your New Name template+
You now have a document customised to your design.

VBA inserting form fields, different positions result for different users.

I'm certianly at a loss for wrapping my head around this.
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard (v 9.5.4)
Excel 2010 (VBA)
The problem: When I create the PDF document from Excel, I search for a string of text in order to capture the Quads for the containing rectangle. Then I use the quads to insert a control with numeric offsets. The problem that I am facing is that the offsets seem to be causing the controls to be in different locations for different users. For example, when I send (-26, -2, 100, 10) {x-offset, y-offset, width, height}; the control aligns exactly where I want it. But when another user user runs the exact same routine, or opens the PDF that I created, the fields are no longer positioned correctly.
Is there some setting that I am missing? EDIT, SOLVED: My Acrobat had a custom point to pixel setting. (Preferences > Page Display > Resolution)
Private Function makePdfControl(ByVal pdfPage As Integer, keyTerm As String, Optional ByVal keyTermLookAhead As Integer = 0, Optional ctrlType As String = "text", Optional cCoords As Variant = 0)
    'pdfPage is the target page of the document
    'keyTerm is the assembled search term: "Date Shipped >> DATESHIPPED"
    'keyTermLookAhead is the number of words assembed into KeyTerm, zero based: "Date Shipped" >> "DATESHIPPED" >> "DATE" = 0, "SHIPPED" = 1
    'ctrlType determines the type of control to place on the form; default is text
    'cCoords carries an array of integers: x-offset, y-offset, width, and height
    txt = ""
    Dim fkt As Integer 'counter for keyTermLookAhead
    Dim matchFound As Boolean 'flag that a match has been found
    Dim maxWords As Integer 'the maximum number of words in pdfPage
    Dim coord(3) As Integer 'local array container to provide interface for cCoords
    p = 0
    matchFound = False
    maxWords = jso.getPageNumWords(pdfPage)
    Do While p + keyTermLookAhead <= maxWords 'search all words in the target page; break if not found
        p = p + 1
        For fkt = 0 To keyTermLookAhead
            txt = txt & jso.getPageNthWord(pdfPage, p + fkt)
        Next fkt
        If UCase(txt) <> UCase(keyTerm) Then 'the assembly of terms is complete, check if match
            txt = "" 'prepare "txt" for next assembly
            matchFound = False
        Else

        End If
    Loop

        Dim qtmp() As Variant
        Dim q(7) As Double
        qtmp = jso.getPageNthWordQuads(pdfPage, p)(0) 'collect the rectangle containing the first word of the search; output is a base-0x7 array
        For a = 0 To 7
            q(a) = qtmp(a) 'collect the data
        Next a
        If VarType(cCoords) <> 8204 Then '8204 means that we've inserted an array into the Varient type var cCoords
            coord(0) = 0
            coord(1) = 0
            coord(2) = 100
            coord(3) = 15
        Else
            coord(0) = cCoords(0) 'x-offset value
            coord(1) = cCoords(1) 'y-offset value
            coord(2) = cCoords(2) 'width value

        End If
        x0 = coord(0) 'x-offset var

        'origin point of control is lower left corner of the rectangle containing the first word of the search phrase
        'offsets are placed from this point, negative x shifts to the left, negative y shifts down
        'values are in points, not pixels
        Set f = aForm.Fields.Add(keyTerm, ctrlType, pdfPage, x, y, x + w, y + h) '(uplf, lwlf, lwrt, uprt) 'add the control to the form using values passed in
    End If
End Function
The above function is used while looping through the pages of the created PDF document. I am using the following function to create the document from Excel:
Private Sub exportToPDF()
    DoEvents
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Call showTabs(False)
    ActiveWorkbook.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
                                       Filename:=pdfPathData, _
                                       Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
                                       IncludeDocProperties:=False, _
                                       IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _

Message was edited by: ilivingston: solved

Thanks for the reply, I did spend some time working on this issue... here is what I found...
1) First of all, I did have a custom Points to Inches setting in my Acrobat options... 110 vs 96.   Resetting this allowed for me to see the alignment issue that my colleagues were referencing first hand.
As it turned out, my results were better, but still had inconsistency among different workstations. Leading me to..
2) The MSFT creator uses the default printer in some way to create the PDF. Because the different workstations were using different printers, we were getting different results. If everyone used an HP 1320, nobody would see any difference upon creating / adding fields.
The final solution was to change the Application.Printer to a common network printer before the export operation, and return the Application.Printer to the user default after the export completed. This has provided us with a common ground to work upon; we are lucky to have a network printer that can be used for this purpose, as I can see this becoming non-viable in environments where this would be unavailable.

Access control for different user groups in APEX 4.0

Hi guys,
in Apex 4.0, is there any way to use the access control page to configure access control for different user groups?
The access control page currently only has an access control list by users with 3 privileges namely, Administrator, Edit & View where Administrator has the highest access level & View the lowest. Therefore 1 user cannot have more than 1 different privilege, however if the user belongs to 2 or more different groups then we can control what access he can have in a more fine grained manner. We also want to have more than the 3 privileges given.
Can we assign different groups to different users and let them have different privileges to be configured by page, region, process or item level?
Now Apex will create 2 tables, Apex_Access_Control & Apex_Access_Setup to store the application access control mode & access control list. It will also create 3 authorization schemes "access control - administrator", "access control - edit" & "access control - view" based on the 2 tables.
Does this mean we have to change the table structures & edit the authorization schemes to suit our usage? We are reluctant to do this because if we upgrade to a newer version of Apex then we would have to merge our pl/sql coding with Apex's updated code.
How can we auto-configure more than the 3 authorization schemes in the access control page? Is there any way to achieve a finer grain of access control based on the current access control administration page given by Apex without writing it ourselves?
We are afraid that we may have missed something on Apex access control & do not want to reinvent the wheel.

Hi Errol,
to build your own application authorization scheme around the security model supplied by Apex for administration of the Apex environment would be a bad idea.
This was never intended for authorization scheme management in custom built Apex applications, it was solely intended to control access in the Apex environment overall. The API for it is not published, and making changes to it, such as adding more roles, would run the risk of breaking the overall Apex security model. It would not be supported by Oracle and Oracle would not guarantee the upwards compatibility of any changes you make in future versions of Apex.
In short, you should follow Tyson's advice and build your own structure. As he indicated, there are plenty of examples around and provided your requirements are not too complicated, it will be relatively simple.
Regards
Andre

Sharing files for different users on same computer without duplicating

Newbie here, I got my 1st mac (in ten years) last week and have been really enjoying it. I set up 3 user's accounts and wanted to share files such as iphoto and itune for all users. So I put my pictures in the shared folder, however, when I opened iphoto in each user's account, I had to import all the photos for every user, which resulted in duplicated files on each user's folders. I have tens of thousands of photos and don't want redundant files eat up my hard drive space. For this reason I'm holding off sharing my itune files.
I'm wondering if there's a way to allow access for different users without making duplicates.

Preferably only admin can edit/import
Well this makes things very easy and is the way that iPhoto is intended to share. In your Admin account, go to iPhoto -> Preferences -> Sharing and enable Sharing. Note that you can share an entire library or just individual albums. Leave iPhoto running and use Fast-User Switching to move to the other Account(s). In Launch iPhoto and go to Preferences -> Sharing and enable 'Look for Shared Photos'. The main library will turn up in the Source (or left-hand) pane of the other iPhoto.
Remember that for this to work, the Admin account must be logged in and iPhoto must be running there.
I don't really care as long as there's no redundant files.
Define 'redundant'. You do realise that iPhoto is a database, with built-in image viewer, lightweight editor and version control. Version control means that if you modify a photo then iPhoto makes a copy, including the changes, and keeps the Original. This way you can always Revert to Original from the Photos menu. Many people switching to iPhoto are confused by this at first. If you don't want version control I strongly suggest using a different app. There a many, many image viewers for the Mac.
As to your point comment about One-Touch DVD. I'm not familiar with that piece of Software, but every DVD (and CD) that you burn is assembled on the HD first, then burned. That assembly is a cache file and should be trashed on completion.
As to disk space: you need to keep about 10 gigs of space on the Start-Up disk for Virtual memory, Temp files and other OS uses. If you do get an external at some point in the future it is possible to run both iPhoto and iTunes from it to free up space on the internal. Just check the help or post back to the relevant forum before moving them. It's not difficult, but there is a procedure that needs to be followed.

[SOLVED] Partition & Access for different users

Hey guys, I’m kind of lost and need some help.
Scenario:
My computer is set up with two hard drives: one SSD, which holds Arch and the /home folder, and a regular HDD, which holds the /var folder and where all data should go on two separate partitions.
Both partitions are mounted at /mnt/HDD2 and /mnt/HDD3.
Naturally, they both belong to root. However, since I want to be able to save all my music, games and whatnot on these two partitions I need to be able to access them as a normal user. On a single user system that would be a no-brainer; I would simply change the ownership. However, I plan to have another user use my computer from time to time and thus need to have the partitions accessible not only for one but a second user as well. And that’s where I can’t get things to work.
First I’ve changed the group for the partition (users) and added both users to the corresponding group (users) but could not write on the partition.
Then I’ve run chmod a+rxw on the partition. Beside the fact that I think that this is quite an inelegant solution, newly created folders where still only accessible by the corresponding user.
I’ve also set the SGID-Bit but no dice either.
Now I’m totally lost. Obviously, I’m missing something but I don’t see what.
tl;dr: I need access to a partition for different users on a single system so that they can easily save, write and share files between each other.
Any help appreciated.

Problem solved.
I ended up using umask. It's basically a single user system anyway with a second user only using it from time to time and both of us having their own group. So it should be relatively save using umask.
I've changed the owner and group of the partition:
chown user1:group /mnt/HDD
...and the permissions:
chmod 2770 /mnt/HDD
...and added both users to the corresponding group of the partition:
gpasswd -a user1 group
gpasswd -a user2 group
Finally I've changed umask to 007 for each individual user while leaving the system-wide umask untouched.

Hi I have two questions. I am using NAS 4.1 and was wondering is it possible to set a different session timeout for different users? How is the session timeout set? Thanks, YS

<i>I am using NAS 4.1 and was wondering is it possible to set a different session timeout for different users?</i>
Um, there is no such thing as NAS4.1.
I'm assuming that you mean NAS4.0 (maybe NAS4.0sp1?). If so, then the session timeouts are specified in the session section of the NTV configuration files.
AFAIK, you can specify session timeouts on a per user basis.

We have two Apple ID's but share the same computer....that runs Itunes...How do i setup Icloud for ea. user ID?

We have two Apple ID's but share the same computer....that runs Itunes...How do i setup Icloud for ea. user ID?

You can't merge Apple IDs. What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone. When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc. When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.

Password security - set permissions for different users

I am using Abobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
In the HELP menu, there is a security section in the contents, In the overview, it states the following:
"Each security method offers a different set of benefits. However, they all allow you to specify encryption algorithms, select the document components to encrypt, and set permissions for different users."
I would like to know how you can set permissions for different users using Password Security.
I am the only one in the company who has Acrobat 9 Pro and all others have Adobe Reader 8.
I have created a PDF file in Acrobat 9, this file is accessible to anyone with Abobe Reader. I would like to set different permissions for different users. For example, i would like certain individuals to print the document and other individuals to not be allowed to print. Can this be acheived using Password Security?
Many Thanks

How to create different log files for different users in log4j

I want to create different logs for different users, using different appenders for each user so that logs are created in his file only.
Confusion:How to direct them to different files in my logger class

Hi Avi,
First of all I have given a first reading to log4j and I think there will some more easy way of logging debugging messages than log4j (If you could provide me a detailed explanation of a servlet,jsp,java bean that uses log4j and how to use log4j then it will be very helpful for me). The other easy ways (if I am not using log4j) to my problem i.e creating different log files for each of web applications deployed in oc4j are
I have created multiple instances of OC4J that are configured to run on different ports and so on each instance I have deployed a single web application . And I started the 2 oc4j instances by transferring thier error/log messages to a file. And the other way is ..
I have download from jakarta site a package called servhelper . This servhelper is a thread that is started in a startup servlet and stopped in the destroy method of that startup servlet. So this thread will automatically capture all the system.out.println's and will print those to a file. I believe that this thread program is synchronized. So in this method I need not run multiple instances of OC4J instead each deployed web application on single instance of oc4j uses the same thread program (ofcourse a copy of thread program is put in each of the deployed web applications directories) to log messages on to different log files.
Can you comment on my above 2 approached to logging debugging messages and a compartive explanation to LOG4J and how to use LOG4J using a simple servlet, simple jsp is appreciated ...
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi.

How to set different default interactive reports for different user groups?

I'm probably overlooking an obvious solution, but how do I set different default interactive report for different user groups?
For the same interactive report, I want one set of users to see a default where the default filter is based on column X. However, another group of users doesn't have authorization to see that column so I need to set the default filter to something else for them.
Thanks

You can set a filter on a report in a URL - would that help? I think with apex 4.x you can also link to a saved default report or alternative report...
