Private Messaging system?

There have been other threads like this, but none that definitively answered the question.
Would it be possible to add a private messaging system to this forum, for things like this thread? It seems to me that there should be a way for users to interact with each other outside of threads, since threads are more for technical support than conversation like that.
Private messages would also allow users to take qualms they have about a poster's posting style to them, to avoid publicly calling them out, and potentially embarrassing them.
This could probably be more clearly written, but I think you get the point.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

As I recall this was raised here a while back with very little support for the idea from other posters; I think several were quite negative. As Niel has said there is the facility for members to give an email in their profile if they are willing to be contacted by other members.
Yes, but e-mail addresses are likely to be used for many things, while PMs would only be used for this forum. What that means for me is that I would be willing to receive a PM, but NOT to give my e-mail address out, since spambots would harvest that.
Another consideration is that these are intended as forums where users can describe their problems and get answers from others, doing this in public can help and educate people other than the OP. PMs could reduce that where discussions of problems are not being made public.
Right, but then we can just not respond to issues in PMs, and instead ask those who try to do that to post in a public place.
PMs can get used for purely personal rather than Mac related messages.
Exactly. That was the point of my post. If you read the thread I linked to, you'll see that personal conversations still happen, even without PMs. PMs would allow threads to remain solely technical, while also allowing for side conversations, or criticisms of poster's styles of answering, without having to publicly call them out on it.
Apple may reasonably feel they are not here to provide a general messaging facility for the public.
That's true, but it would only be for members of this forum, would probably not take up much extra bandwidth, and would have all of the benefits I listed above.

How do I send a private message to someone who has posted a previous question or answer?

I have a similar question to one which was posted earlier and I would like to contact the person who asked this question, to see if the advice received helped sort out his problem

AdrianB,
Unfortunately, our current system doesn't have private messaging functionality.
If the thread was recent, the person you are looking for may still be subscribed to it. If they are, then you can post to the thread and a notification will be sent to them and they may respond to you.
If the thread wasn't recent, then the notifications to it have probably all expired. The best thing to do in this case would be to post a new question and reference the old thread in your question. The original person may reply to it or other users may reply and let you know their opinion of the advice given.
Thanks,

Hi Molly,
What qualifies as "recent"? In other words, how long until subscriptions have expired?
Thanks,

Hi Kfir,
just check in RWB, in component monitoring, the status of integration server and adapter engine.......if it is red, then ask your basis guys to remove that error................just check your comm channels, i think your comm channels are in error, if they are just edit them, save and activate them again..........i think then your this issue will be resolved.'

MR11 error message system status CLSD is active

MR11 fails with error message system status CLSD is active . How to clear the PO line item which gives error message in MR11 system status CLSD is active .

If you are using an account assigned PO then possibly the order(PM order, internal order etc) to which your PO refers might have status as CLSD.
Check and reverse the status.

Error in local message system; message 009999000035 not complete

Hello All.
I have configured Service desk in SolMan 7.0 which has patch level 14 and also configured in Satellite systems. I am using SM_...._BACK RFC connection in BCOS_CUST table. The user used by SM_...._BACK have the following roles in SolMan
SAP_SUPPDESK_CREATE,SAP_SV_FDB_NOTIF_BC_ADMIN
and SAP_SV_FDB_NOTIF_BC_CREATE.
However, when I try to create support message (Help --> Create support message) in satellite system, i am getting Error in local message system; message 009999000035 not complete.
I have also checked for Product_ID parameter which is not existing.
One important thing is, I can create support message in satellite system if I give SAP_ALL in that RFC user using in SM_...._BACK connection in SolMan.
So, this shows clearly that it is an issue with role/authorization.
Please suggest me !!
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Satish.

Hmm not really. Profiles for the roles are also generated?
Those roles/profiles should be sufficient to create support messages.
Even though you assigned SAP_ALL and it worked afterwards I cannot imagine you got an auth. problem here anymore.
When assigning SAP_ALL did you really assign SAP_ALL to the RFC user or did you assign another user (who got SAP_ALL auth.) to the RFC connection?
The user who was logged on to the satellite system when the support messages have been created (with and without SAP_ALL assigned to the RFC user) has always been the same?
Just to make sure: did you set NO_USER_CHECK = X in Sol Man tx: DNO_CUST04?

Service Desk: Error in local message system: You do not have authorization

Hello experts,
i'm configuring support desk scenario. I think all is fine, but, when i try to create a message from satellite (R3 46C) to my SOLMAN the following error appears:
Error in local message system: You do not have authorization to create a notifica Message was not created. (Message no. B~ 088)
The user i use to create the message has the following roles:
SAP_SV_FDB_SUPPORT_LINE_ADMIN
SAP_SV_FDB_SUPPORT_LINE_LEVEL1
SAP_SV_FDB_SUPPORT_LINE_LEVEL2
Z_RFC
and SAP_ALL SAP_NEW profiles.
Anyone knows where is the problem?
Regards
Carlos Calle

Hi Carlos,
Role that allows processing messages is SAP_SUPPDESK_PROCESS. However from what I have understand, once End User enters and submits the message, he/she cannot edit the message anymore. Probably an email will be generated to him/her to notified of the message creation and for futher updates. I think end user should not be required to logon to Solution Manager. Key User i.e. helpdesk or SAP support staff will process(edit/change) the message instead.
If you want something else, I think you need to create a customise role maybe from SAP_SUPPDESK_DISPLAY or PROCESS and change the authorization values.
The below note contains latest authorization info.
Note 834534 - SAP Solution Manager roles in Release 4.0
Experts,
Correct me if I am wrong.

Annie

Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status

This is the first time I try an approval workflow. I am using a template in MS Word and assigned an approval workflow to it. The approval workflow is only going to one person in this case.
When I start the work flow the following 3 error messages show up:
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the e-mail has a valid recipient.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Thank you for your kind guidance.

Hi,
For the first error: Did you set Content Approval in the workflow? If so, see if you have it in the versioning settings of the list settings.
For the second error: double check your recipient is set up as being valid. Did you type in the email address or is it referring to a people picker field? also, make sure that in the workflow for the email that you actually populated it in the
To: field.
for the third error: I suspect that either your farm is not configured for email. Or, this error is a knock on from the second error. If you get the second error rectified it may clear this error. If not then double check the email settings
for your farm.

I ran an iTunes update. It failed with the message "System Error. The program can't start because MSVCR80.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I tried reinstalling but get the same message. I looked in my Recycle Bin for that file name but there is none there. Is this a new file that iTunes wants?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
