Re: Can I lock users out of HFM Workspace for maintenance?

Hi All,
I am looking to Delete Invalid Records in HFM this week as we haven't done it in 3 years.  Our HFM database has swollen to 400 gb so I suspect this will be labour intensive.  I was hoping to block users from the system at this time.  They have been notified to stay out but they often creep in.  I tested this in QA and went to 'Manage Servers and Applications' and disabled connections.  However, I notice that I am able to log back in with a user's account.  It really didn't work.  Am I missing a step?
On another note, if I am deleting invalid records from HFM and planning to delete some data from FDM as well (periods, temp user tables, etc.), can I do this at the same time?  I suspect there are no dependencies between the two as they are seperate databases, but I wanted to confirm.
Much Appreciated,
Mike

Couple of things.  First, you're usually better off asking a new question in a new topic, keeps it more organized for future people looking to ask the same question.
As for your question, personally I just stop IIS on the web server since I do stuff like this via the HFM client.  If you take down IIS, it keeps out most users.  That said, Delete Invalid Records tends to freeze up the application anyway, so I run into the problem of users not being able to log in anyway even if I wanted them to.

    As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
    The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

  • Does anyone know of an IPhone app to lock myself out of my phone for a certain period of time?

    Does anyone know of an app I can use so that I can lock myself out of my phone for a specified time interval? There are times where my phone becomes a distraction and it would be easier to just lock myself out of it for 45 mins than to go to the trouble of putting it somewhere were I won't notice it and it will be too far away from me to just pick it up and start searching social media sites as procrastination.

    It's called "SelfControl". It can be a little hard to learn to use but it's worth the effort.

  • C4T Locks Users out of Reports

    Does anyone else have issues with users locking themselves out of reports? It seems like a constant struggle with my company.
    Here are the reasons people become locked that I have seen:
    - They use the browser back arrow
    - They close the window without using the X in the right hand corner or the report
    - Their report crashes and locks them
    - The credit card import locks reports if trying to assign transactions
    When they become locked it takes 60 minutes till they can get in again. Is this necessary? A 5 or 10 minute lock makes more sense if at all.
    Maybe someone can explain the benefits of a 60 minute self-induced lock on a user's report. It's terribly frustrating.

    Hi Britt
    This little trick still seems to work, but only if you launch C4TE in Silverlight mode:
    * Enter your user ID
    * Enter the WRONG password for your user ID (ensure you get a message saying "Logon data is not correct; log on again")
    * Then enter the CORRECT password for your user ID
    Provided you are using Silverlight mode, you should see a small pre-login screen showing the number of failed login attempts, together with a list of running sessions for that user. Below that list is a check-box called "Delete Sessions". Tick this box and then click Continue.
    You might need to do this a couple of times, but it should eventually unlock the report. Once this is done, log back out and log back in using HTML5.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I get stepped out put voltage signal for controls from the BNC with Labview?

    Hi!
    I am new user to NI Labview. I am working in controls applied in Combustion sciences. I want control the Solenoid valve ( Jefferson made,230 V, 11 W) in stepped manner. BNC (2110) is used for the input signal (Piezoelectric pressure transducers) and output signal. The maximum out put voltage from BNC is 5 V. Can I get the out put voltage in stepped and increasing order to ensure the better controls of the solenoid valve?
    Also I would like to know, is it possible for me to control the working frequency ( Injecting) of the solenoid valve with the help of Lab view?
    Thanks.

    Just having the same issue there, which is real not fun, I have not tried to contact them, but looking at  your experience I am not sure if I should.
    My key comes from the back of a laptop o so I guess that would be a W7
    OEM, and that could explain why you can't download a ISO from their website, would that also your case ?
    Also could it be because we are attempting to get the ISO after the product became EOL ?

    Thanks John. We just want to disable user using FR report prepared in Reporting Studio and put under "Explore" of Workspace. We found that we can't do that once the user is login into Workspace. The only way we can do is to setup the security setting of each FR report based on the group setting.

  • How can I lock people out of my computer without signing off User?

    I'd like to keep an application open 24/7, but also keep people off computer when not here,
    if I log off my user (the logical way to keep people put of my stuff) the app closes.
    thoughts?
    roger

    There are a couple of solutions:
    1) Make a second user account, enable fast user switching, and switch to the second account when you leave the computer. This allows others to use the machine without affecting the applications that are still running in your main user.
    2) In the Security settings, require a password to wake the computer or disable the screen saver. Then, set up a screen saver to go on when you hit a certain key or move the mouse to a corner of the screen. Then only someone with your user credentials can get into the machine.

  • Locking users out after 5 Failed Logins

    How can you configure solaris to lockout users after 5 failed logins. I figured out how to do it on IRIX but I cannot find information on how to do it for solaris.

    Retries will reset the console and make the user try logging in again after 5 failed attempts. But it does not lock the user account, the user still has the ability to log in. I want to configure it so that the user's account is locked after 5 failed login attempts. For IRIX, there is a LOCKOUT option in the /etc/default/login file, however SUN does not offer the same option. I was wondering if SUN offers a similar option somewhere.

  • How can i lock users so the can't get into a transaction

    Hi everyone.
    I've developed a workflow that updates an status in TCODE PP02.
    When user create the infotype, i have a BADI that starts a workflow.
    If user want to modify the infotype, it has to tell him that that object is managed by workflow.
    Problem is that the workflow has a task that has to update the status of the infotype. Because of BADI, i cannot update because i get the messagte that the object is managed by a workflow.
    I have to have 'something' in the BADI that allow me if the object is being edited by a user or by a workflow.
    Regards,
    Inigo.

    Problem is that i must force the user to do it with workflow task.
    This is the scenario.
    A user creates an infotype. Automaticly, the workflow is ttarted and the task send to users determined by a function module.
    Now, because that object is managed by workflow, nobody can change it via tcode. They have to execute the task (which has a call trasaction that do the same that if you access normaly trough its TCODE).
    I've made a check in a BADI for users that try to change the infotype via TCODE. They get a message ..'Error, object is in a workflow task' (checked with FM 'SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT).
    The problem is that the task executes a call transaction and the process is the same as if you execute the TCODE 'online'. The FM is called and get the response that the object is in a workflow task.
    I need some info (don't know where to get it) that can be searched in the BADI and determine if the user that is executing that BADI is an online user or is a workflow task the one that is executing that BADI.
    Regards,
    Inigo.

  • How can I share user in the same workspace but different applications

    I recently created a new application (new) in the same workspace as my old application (old).
    I have about 35 application express users. They are stored in uppercase.
    The new appl (old) , login page will only accept the DB user login and Not the application users. When I type it in uppercase, it revert it to lower case.
    I have no authentication schemes, uses all defaults. I created a DB user and 35 application users.
    It give me " Invalid Login Credentials'.
    I am due to upgrade tomorrow, but now have run into this problem!!
    Desperate

    Angela,
    That is not clear.
    I recently created a new application (new) in the same workspace as my old application (old).Now you have exactly two applications in that workspace.
    I have about 35 application express users. They are stored in uppercase.Okay.
    The new appl (old) , ...What?
    ...login page will only accept the DB user login and Not the application users.What DB user did you create and why did you create it? Your application must be using a different authentication scheme that the one you intended. Check the current authentication scheme and set it to the Application Express scheme (make it current) or whichever scheme matches that used by the working application.
    When I type it in uppercase, it revert it to lower case.I can't explain that unless you created a database user account using double quotes around the lower-case name.
    I have no authentication schemes, uses all defaults. I created a DB user and 35 application users.Again, why did you create a DB user?
    I am due to upgrade tomorrow, ...What is an upgrade?
    What is your current database version and Application Express version?

  • Can I create User profile service sync connection for my site without Active directory?

    Hi everyone,
    Is it possible to use my site without active directory? our AD policy don't allow farm account to have "Replicating directory changes", If I export AD information to SQL and sync profile from SQL is it possible?
    Thanks
    TanaponP

    Yes, you can use mysites without setting up user profile sync.  But you won't be able to sync information from SQL without having a primary sync setup with AD first.  Syncing to something like SQL is designed to augment existing profiles.  It
    won't create new ones.
