POTENTIAL BOOTCAMP USER REQUIRES ASSISTANCE PLEASE

Hi All
Thanks in advance for any answers to the following please
I am considering using bootcamp by installing a windows disc version of vista that i had on my now defunct dell inspiron 1721 laptop to use for the occasional use of windows only games
My questions being
1) Will the dell disc work on my imac? and if it doesnt what are the potential pitfalls of trying such an installation
2) Will i be able to also install a version of windows enterprise blue version 2007 that i also obtained for using on the above machine also?
3) Is it possible to buy an external hard drive and attempt the installation on that rather than directly onto the imac
apologies for being so cautious but having a trouble free imac for the last six months or so has been the best purchase i have ever made after almost ten years of windows nightmares!! and therefore would not want to put my mac at major risk for the sake of playing a few games via bootcamp and using the odd word document

Generally speaking it is wrong to use any Windows disk that was not purchased specifically for your Mac. I've seen warnings posted here over the years against using a Dell (or other same type) disk and I've also seen people post success. Try the search function. From my own knowledge, if you launch Boot Camp Assistant and follow the BC install directions with precision then you cannot possibly hurt your Mac installation. This is assuming of course that you don't lose the ability to boot to OSX in the first place - a very rare problem. Keep a Time Machine or other duplicate of your OSX install just in case. Anyway - if your Windows install fails, you simply boot to OSX, launch Boot Camp, erase the partition (Restore Disk To A Single Volume) and you are good as new. Beware, though, there are current unaddressed issues in BC regarding the downloading of MS install drivers that are only well-explained on this message board. You should read these boards thoroughly to understand them since Apple has not issued a fix yet (AFAIK). The short version is that when BC Assistant asks you to download a file to burn a CD, lie and say you have already done so. Then use your Apple OSX install DVD after your Windows install is ready for Apple drivers. For my own Windows install I purchased the OEM low-cost (no support) Vista disk. If you browse around on line regarding OEM useage, it is a bit a user-agreement gray zone leaning towards the vendor and purchaser seemingly in the clear (provided they stick to the OEM rules) (Just my own personal current ever-evolving understanding of things). OEM might be the better option - who knows if MS will officially activate your Dell install after all that work? Just sayin...

Please assist as when my old iMac died I find I could not get my CS2 to work. Very frustrating for some one my age who cannot afford a new InDesign. Thomas Bain

CS2 was created for the Power PC processor which your old iMac obviously was.
Your new Mac with OSX 10.9.5 is an Intel Mac and no longer runs Power PC applications.
For several years after the transition from Power PC to Intel Apple had provided an emulator called Rosetta that allowed Intel Macs to run Power PC applications.
However, the last version of the Mac OS that had Rosetta was OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
Even if you could find a copy of OSX 10.6.8 it would be highly unlikely that it would ever install on a newer Mac due to different firmware versions.
Your only hope is to buy an older used Mac that can run OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or earlier.
Sorry, but that ship has sailed.

Hi,
FMIS 4.5 does not accept plain text password. Encrypt=false is no longer supported. See here for more information : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/configadmin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2926 bcf-7fed.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2926bcf-7e91
The value for SERVER.ADMIN_PASSWORD needs to be the encrypted string for your password. That should solve your problem.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Hi all, can someone help me in getting last login date of a user in CQ5 please?

Hi all, can someone help me in getting last login date of a user in CQ5 please?

CQ is REST based and does not have the concept of session. So there is no feature to track login or logout details. Most of our customers use some kind of central authentication Ex- SSO hence no need arises to have such functionality built in. However if needed you have the ability to implement such at a project level solution. Ex:- custom login modules or auth-handler by taking project specific constraints and requirements into account

Hi, I'm unable to use my speaker when I'm using Mac OS. However, I'm able to do so for Windows 7 OS on Bootcamp. Can anyone please advise on how to rectify this problem? I would greatly appreciate your help, thank you.

Hi Zac, sorry to hear about your troubles, but that's why us other users are here to try to help in these instances.

I have set form fields as User required and yet the form still prints/save when empty.

I have set form fields as User required and yet the form still prints/save when empty. I also have an email button on the form but that works correctly by not allowing the user to email the form with the required fields empty.
What script do I need to additionally restrict both printing and saving if the required fields are empty?
You would think that just setting that option would restrict those functions the same as it does for the email button.
Please be specific with your response if you are gracious enough to offer one. I have been searching the forum all morning for the answer to this and I really didn't understand any of the solutions offered to others enough to use those in my own form.
The required fields are:
Social (social security number)
Name
Headquarters
Residence
The next question I have is if there is a way to make individual signature fields mandatory if they are digital signatures?
In other words, I don't want the individual to be able to email the form to the next person if he/she hasn't applied their digital signature.

Saving can always be done, even when mandatory fields are empty. This is by design. And that is correct. Suppose you have a big form and 2 people need to fill it out. How can you fill out a first part and then send it to the second person without saving.
Same for printing. Same for your signature fields.
What I would do, is to put a "watermark" on the form that you show on preSave and prePrint if the form is incomplete. Just a static text on your form. Then the user will see that they need to do more. Also, on preSave and prePrint, you can show a warning popup to tell the user about the missing fields. You can then still cancel their action if the user decides not to save/print anyway.

Disco 4i Error 'This user requires Create Any Materialized View Sys Priv'

Hi,
Firstly I will say we are late with moving to Disco 10g, fully understood and constantly remind people of need to upgrade.
Oracle Apps 11i instance, we have upgraded the database 10g.
In Disco 4i Admin, Import folder from Database, we receive Error Message:
*'This user requires Create Any Materialized View System Priviledge'*
Have spoken to number of our DBA's but been unable to resolve this. I have read loads of stuff about similar issues, but no direct hits really help me.
I am guessing we need to logon as SYSTEM db user and execute
h5. SQL> grant create materialized view to <username>;
h5. SQL> grant alter any materialized view to <username>;
Please can anyone advise, I am sure it's going to be a DB/Schema owner, as the username; i.e. APPS or EUL_US?
I cannot see it being the fnd_user for the Disco EUL owner, e.g. SYSADMIN or PatStock.
Thanks
Mike

Hi,
If you are doing the import as SYSADMIN then you are connected as APPS so this is the database user that needs additional privilege.
However, the APPS user only needs create materialized view privileges if there are manually created summary folders in the EUL, i.e. summary folders based on materialized views. If you are not using these then the privilege is not required.
The EUL_US user just needs to give Discoverer Administrator privileges to the SYS_ADMIN user. Nothing else should be needed.

Set factory calender and user requirement date calculation

Hi Gurus,
I've requirement to do calculation for start user requirement & end user requirement. The calculation must exclude public holiday and weekend. Therefore factory calender need to be maintained.
Please guide me into doing this.
regards,

Dear
Based on your business requirement , you should have the following set up :
1.One Factory Calender with Work Days Monday-to-Friday Let say FC1 .This will be used on all the organisational level starting from Materials Planning to Sales .But will not be assinge to Capacity Requirement Planning Purpose or Any Production Activity in Work Centre .
2.You should have one more Factory Calander with work Days Monday to Monday ( 7 days week ) with some special rule like Plan Shutdown Days , Breakdown Maintainnece etc and this should be assinged to all the work centres -CR02-Capacity Tab -Capacity Header -Factory Calader ID -Let say it is FC2.
You need to ceate Calander in OP03/SCAL .It does nto have any transport and it will be a Cleinet level changes which requires proper approval .Please rememeber , you need to assing only FC1 to Plant assingement in OP03 where as FC2 will be asisnged only in Work Centre level .
Steps : Goto -OP03
1.Identify all those Public Holidays frist with Fixed or moveable as per business requirement
2.Goto Holiday Calander -Hit the pencil -Hit Create option -Enter ID , Description , Valid To/From Year ( shd be 20 yrs differnce )
Add all those holidays as per Public holidays as applicable in your business with proper valididty and finally SAVE
3.Goto Factory Calander -Hit the pencil -Hit Create option -Enter ID , Description , Valid To/From Year ( shd be 20 yrs differnce )
Asisng Hioliday Calander . In case of FC2-Work centre Calander , here you can hit the Special Rules .Include Special Activity like Plan Shut down of factory with Validity etc and SAVE .
4.Come back to OP03 main screen -Assing the factory Calender in plant .
5.Goto -CR02-Capacity -Capacity Header -Available Capacity Header -Factory Calander-Assing FC2
I do not think you should have planning calander seperately if you do not have any specific reason .
Hope it helps

I have a Win7Pro SP1 PC locked down with a Group Policy as it is a public facing PC. PDF fillable forms cannot be completed when logged on as the restricted user. The forms work as a normal user. What are the user requirements/permissions needed to fill forms?

Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
Go Utilities > Disk Utility
Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
I hope this help.

HT1449 This was somewhat informative, but what happens after you receive the "The folder containing "iTunes Library" cannot be found, and is required. Please choose or create a new iTunes library,"? I ran through all the steps, received this message. Now

tried to move my itunes library to an external to free up space and run itunes off of an external. Went through all the steps. Received the message "The folder containing "iTunes Library" cannot be found, and is required. Please choose or create a new iTunes library," like it mentioned I might, and here is where the instructions end. Now what?

User requires ADMIN privilege to perform this operation.

Hi
I have written a procedure which creates a new workspace. The owner of the package has been granted apex_administrator_role. This works fine with SQL Developer/Plus.
But when I try to use this procedure from my Apex page I get User requires ADMIN privilege to perform this operation.
I understand that Apex makes a connection with APEX_PUBLIC_USER, and this can be one of the reasons of the error. But I would like to know if there is some solution:
My code is:
      apex_instance_admin.add_workspace (
        p_workspace          => p_name,
        p_primary_schema     => p_name,
        p_additional_schemas => '');
--p_name is passed as a parameter and workspace and primary_schema name are the sameHabib

I think you will need to grant privleges to apex_instance_admin directly to the owner of the package.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/network.112/e10574/authorization.htm#BABFJEGJ
The privileges of the procedure's definer must be granted directly to the user, not granted through roles.

Defining end user requirements

Hi I'm new to discoverer and I would like to know how do you go about defining end user requirements. Is there some sort of rules or documentation around to help with this analysis stage, because I'm told that you need this sort ofinformation to enable you to build the EUL and the business area.
Thank you in advance.
Maria

maria,
well you would first want to identify needed reports capability of your user base. Then locate the current report base to see if some of the requests are already handled. The GAP could then be identified as a GAP in reporting Requirements. As you go through the reports requests you can identify needed data and fields. Then group that data into related items, or related functional needs.

Help with "Admin user requires valid username and password" on fms2_console.swf page

Just installed FMS2 on Debian (etch, 2.16.5-1 kernel). When I
connect to localhost:1111/fms2_console.swf and get the infamous XML

installation. All four daemons (fmsedge, fmsmaster, fmscore,
fmsadmin) are running and listening on the correct ports.
Any tips? (I'm sure this is easy to solve...)
Thanks.

I haven't had any luck at all getting it resolved using iTunes support so I'm hoping someone who's encountered the problem can help me.

What did itunes suport tell you?
They will need to solve this.
