Prompt for values to use in calculations, (not filter)

Hi the BO WEBI experts.
I want to create a variable to capture user input for estimated 'billing degree' .
Later I want to use this value for calculations on Key Figures.
I struggle with how to make the variabel, since it seems like I need to connect the variable to the Universe, to be able to make it.
Thank you for good answers.
Best Regards

Hi Ingrid,
I believe you want to capture a value entered by user, in the webi report variable.
Please clarify the workflow where exactly the user enters the value, which you want to capture.
Does the query has a prompt, where user will enter any value, which you want to capture in the variable?
In this case, first create a prompt in the query. Go to EDIT Query mode, drag the object in the 'query filters' and specify the prompt condition.
Now, run the query and get the result set and then create a variable using UserResponse function.
Also see the 'function help' for UserResponse function from the 'variable editor'.
This variable will give you all the values entered by user in the prompt.
If this is not the case, please specify the exact requirement and the workflow.
Regards,
Abhijeet

How to not be prompted for pwd when using sftp command

Hello -
I want to be able to run an sftp command in a shell script without being prompted for a password, but am not having success.
Here is my script:
sftp -oPort=34333 [email protected]
bye
exit
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

From Local Computer (follow the prompts at each stage).
1. Login to the localcomputer as required user and generate a pair of authentication keys using keygen
ssh-keygen -t rsa
2. Login to the remotecomputer as required user and create the .ssh directory
ssh -l remoteuser remotecomputer mkdir -p .ssh
3. Copy the Local user public key to Remote User .ssh directory into authorized_keys file. And, type the password again for the last time
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh -l remoteuser remotecomputer 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
4. Connect to the remotecomputer using ssh, sftp or scp . For ssh e.g.
ssh -l remoteuser remotecomputer
This might work, but you need to check it up to correct any mistakes I make with the commands because I am just typing it without testing

Exchange 2007 to 2013 Migration issues. Prompt for credentials, Public Folders inaccessible, Apps not working

Exchange 2013 Migration issues
I have three issues and decided to list them here. Please pick and choose to assist. Thanks in advance.
Environment:
Mixed 2007 SP3 R12 and 2013 CU3. 2007 Environment was webmail.domain.com. I installed new Exchange 2013 (1 CAS, 1 Mailbox) according to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff805032(v=exchg.150).aspx. Exchange 2007 is now legacy.domain.com and Exchange 2013 CAS is webmail.domain.com.
Machine 1: Windows 8.1, not domain joined, using Outlook Anywhere external. Outlook 2013
Machine 2: Windows 7, domain joined, using Outlook Anywhere internal. Outlook 2010 SP2
I have migrated 1 user so far to Exchange 2013. This user was a Domain Admin. I have removed that membership. I checked the box to inherit permissions of the security of the object and reset the AdminCount attribute in ADSIedit to 0 and verified this replicated
to all domain controllers. ( I originally thought this to be the issue with it prompting for the password. )
Here is a Get-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet...

ISSUE 1
Issue: On Machine 1 (reference above) Windows Security prompt that says "Connecting to
[email protected]". Almost always prompts when Outlook is first opened. Afterwards (if it goes away) seemingly random on when it asks for it. I put in the credentials (absolutely correct) and it fails and prompts again.
I always check the box for it to save the password. To get rid of it, I click the Cancel button at which Outlook reports "NEED PASSWORD", but still acts fine sending and receiving emails. Eventually the "NEED PASSWORD" sometimes changes
to say "CONNECTED", but it works regardless.
No issues on Machine 2 so I don't know where the problem might be as there are a lot of variables in play here.
ISSUE 2
Migrated user is unable to open Public folders from Exchange 2007.
Cannot expan the folder. Microsoft Exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance. (/o=...).
This error occurs on Machine 1, Machine 2 and from OWA, same error each time.
ISSUE 3
Apps. Installed by default are 4 apps (Bing Maps, Suggested Meetings, Unsubscribe, Action Items). I have made sure the apps are enabled in OWA and they show up in mail items on both Machine 1 (Outlook 2013) and OWA. They do not show up in Machine 2 (Outlook
2010). I'm assuming that isn't supported.
In OWA, when I go to the installed apps listing it shows all of the apps but has a broken link on the image describing the app.
When I click the app in either Outlook 2013 or in OWA, I get "APP ERROR, Sorry we can't load the app. Please make sure you have network and/or internet connectivity. Click "Retry" once you're back online.
Current workaround is just disabling them through OWA.

Prompt for Filename Upon Printing as PDF Not Working

I have an intermittent problem when printing Word documents as PDFs. I am using Windows 7 Professional, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, and Word 2010. This problem started occuring only very recently; previously I was able to print Word documents as PDFs without issue. The current problem is that about half of the time that I attempt to print as Adobe PDF, I do not receive a prompt for the filename and location of my PDF document. Instead, a tooltip bubble pops up in on my system tray with the Adobe symbol, telling me something to the effect of "your PDF has been created as k3r5pt.tmp." The other half of the time I receive the normal prompt to save my file. It does not appear to be specific to certain documents, as after this problem occurs I try again with the same document (after changing nothing) and it prints normally.
I have checked my preferences by going to Devices and Printers->Adobe PDF->Printing Preferences->Adobe PDF Settings and choosing "Prompt for Adobe PDF filename" in the Adobe PDF Output Folder drop-down menu. This has always been the setting and it still is. I am not certain where these .tmp files are being sent to or why they are being created at all. Any help you can provide would be appreciated so that I can print my PDFs successfully every time.

Unfortunately updating the Distiller settings did not help. PDFs are still printing to .tmp files periodically. It isn't just from Word either; I've also noticed that it happens with PDFs as well. For example, when viewing a 50+ page PDF document online I chose to print one of the pages from the middle as an Adobe PDF, and it notified me that my .tmp file was created.
By the way, I haven't been changing printer properties from within an application; I change them from the Devices and Printers menu.
I've been able to locate where the .tmp files are being sent:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp
This is frustrating. It seems to be happening despite all settings to the contrary. I just can't figure it out. I'm reluctant to delete the printer and try to re-add it, because I don't have administrator priveleges on this computer (it's my work computer). I wish I could give you guys more information.

Why does Proxy Authentication prompt for user/pass on Win7 but not XP?

Trying to use NTLM authentication for our proxy through Firefox 7.0.1. It works great in Windows XP - the user doesn't ever get prompted for his username or password when going to the internet. However, when using the same settings with Windows 7 machines going to the same internet sites, they always get prompted for username and password. Is there a workaround for this? Is this a bug?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Prompt For Value inbetween 2 Calendar Dates

I would like to know how to set up the following in Answers.
Report should show sales that occurred in between 2 dates. When the report is run I would like the user to be prompted for a Start Date and an End Date. How can I set this up in Answers. I know I have to create 2 prompts for Start Date and End Date but after this what do I do.
Thanks

HI pass the presentation variables for the startdate as 'startdate' and for the End date 'enddate' and save the prompt. In the report level select the column date(the date which you have joined)
and use the filter for that date and use the between operator and add the two presentation variables startdate and enddate and save the report. Now the report will be filtered based on the dates you have selected.
check the link below here they have passed server variable for the date prompts but you can use presentation variable.

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

Why is Field value sometimes used an sometimes not?

In workflow, I have been able to execute rules using things like
[<OpportunityType>]="New Accountt"
I see in the expression builder help files that sometimes FieldValue is used i.e.
(FieldValue('<OpportunityCategory>') = 'Small Deal'
Could someone give a quick over view of the differences between using 'FieldValue' and not using 'FieldValue'?

I posted this in the wrong forum so I will post this in the admin forum. thanks

Outlook prompts for credentials when used over DirectAccess

Hello; I have recently setup a DirectAccess Server for our network. The DirectAccess Server is running Windows Server 2012R2. It all appears to be running just fine. The clients are connecting fine and have access to all of our internal network resources,
including the Exchange Server.
However, when using MS Outlook to connect to the internal Exchange Server, we are seeing a strange behavior. The Outlook client initially connects just fine. It says "CONNECTED TO: Microsoft Exchange" down in the status bar, and the
user's mailbox gets updated just fine. But then, after just a few minutes, MS Outlook will prompt the user for their credentials. If the user enters their credentials, the pop up goes away, but then comes right back after another minute or two.
As far as I can tell, the DirectAccess connection is stable, as the user has uninterrupted access to our other internal resources. I've verified the Outlook's connection to the Exchange is using RPC/TCP.
Can anyone shed some light on to what is going on here and how I may resolve this issue?

Hi,
A simple assumption, would clearing the credentials from Windows Credential Manager work?
1. Launch the Credential Manager (from [Control Panel] and [User Settings])
2. In the Generic Credentials section you’ll see a setting for [MS Outlook]. Click the downward-pointing arrow to the right of that value
3. The section will expand to show further details. Under those details is a link to Remove from vault. Click this and Outlook will no longer have a stored copy of your password
The next time the users need to enter a password, select the option that let Outlook remember the credentials.
Thanks,
Melon Chen

Can you set Face time to prompt for password on use?

Can you set Facetime to require password each time you go into the app?
Regards,
Buc

No. you cannot set a password for individual Apps unless said App has that feature. Apple Apps like FaceTime do not.
. You can however use Restrictions to disable Facetime, and only enable it when you want to use it, by going back into restrictions and enabling it.
Settings->Restrictions->Facetime (Turn Off)
You'll need to enter the set password to enable / disable it each time.

Check multiple cells for value and use if found

Is it possible to check a range of cells to find one that is non-empty and then use that value to populate a different cell?
Forumla would check the columns, "Day1", "Day2" and "Day3" and if any of them are non-empty, pick one of the non-empty cells and copy that value to the cell in column "HELPER".
The formual would be in column "HELPER" and the result would look like:
Day1
Day2
Day3
HELPER

Prohibition for Photos to use Cellular does not work

Hello Community!
I've got a little problem:
I just want to use iCloud Photo Library. Everything's fine until here.
But then I wanted to forbid the Photos application to use cellular data, because I only have 300 MB per month
And exactly that isn't working. When I try it, I turn cellular data on, scroll down to 'Photos' and switch it to 'OFF'. But when I quit setting or turn cellular OFF the switch is on 'OFF' again.
So I don't want to use iCloud Photo Library, because I'm afraid of my data volume is going down.
I'd be glad if anyone could help me.

P.S. I'm sorry for possible grammatical mistakes (Greetings from Germany).

How to use Find option not Filter in my webdynpro app

Hi,
     I have a table which displays data extracted from R/3 System.
Now if i want to see a particular number record how to do that with out using Right and Left arrows of table.
Here i tried by using filters..but i want to enter the record Number not the data of the record.
Can anyone please let me know how to do this...
Thanks and regards,
Chandrashekar.

Hi,
Add a search button to your table toolbar. Onclick of that you can take the user to the specified record entered in the input field. Add this inputField also to your toolbar.
Add the following lines of code to your search button event:
if(wdContext.nodeSearchRec().currentSearchRecElement().getSearch() == null){
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Please enter a record Id",false);
else {
int leadSelect = wdContext.nodeSearchRec().currentSearchRecElement().getSearch();
wdContext.nodeEmployee.setLeadSelection(leadSelect);
where node SearchRec.Search is the attribute bound to your search inputField.
And nodeEmployee is the datasource of your table.
If you have any further queries, you can come back to me.
thanks & regrads,
Manoj

Not prompting for the parameters of stored procedures while running

Hi All,
I have a stored proc which takes in 3 parameters and execute a copy of a record in a table based on the 3 parameters which I pass in.
When I use the proc in crystal reports (Crystal Reports 2008), it is not prompting for the parameter values if we execute the report directly. It's prompting the values only when I do 'Veriyf Database' from the menu. Why is it not prompting for values when executing directly. Am I missing anything here?
Also, I have a C# .net project which uses the report and take in input parameters. Even there, previously, I used to call the VerifyDatabase () first and then the SetParameterValues () which was working fine for regular expressions. But for this report (which uses stored procedure), it is not giving the desired output (copying data), even though the report doesn't fail to run. But when I changed the order of the call to have SetParameterValues () before the call to VerifyDatabase (), it works fine (copies the data for the given input parameters).
Please let me know what is missing here? Is the order of the call to VerifyDatabase () and SetParameterValues () matters? If so, why is it working for regular expressions and not for stored procs?
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Siva.

I recommend posting this to the Crystal Reports Design forum. As I read it:

The issue is in the CR designer 1st. So it needs to be resolved there before moving on to the CR SDK in .NET.

Using Proxy on Lion - Continually being prompted for username and password

I am looking at Lion in my studio setup at the moment and so far only a few things I am not happy with. One of these though is really annoying and in it's present form would stop me from using it in production.
I have setup the proxies in the Network tab as they are in 10.6.8 but I continually get prompted for my username and password. Not an issue if it was my machine and I would be using at home for instance but in the studio no. It could be anyone using the machine and some people do not have proxy access.
I do not want to store in the general network settings as a default username for the machine as there is not one. Is there a way of seeing what is trying to look out to the internet? Would little Snitch help here?
Dialogue box I would like to get rid of it the red ! one below, as the only way to avoid this is by typing in a user name and password into the Network Preferences settings
I do not mind this one below as it is usually only appears when you require it and not randomly during the day.

I have installed Little Snitch and left running for the day.
So far helpd is the main culprit, so is there a way of disabling this other than using little snitch?
If only Little Snitch, has anyone deployed to around 25 Macs so that the user doesn't really notice?
