RME JOB APPROVAL QUESTION

When I schedule a job (non-immediate), e.g. a netconfig job to add snmp community string, I get the error message" CFG0021: Could not create job. Possible cause: Cannot submit jobs for approval. Approval emails cannot be sent".
I have the correct smtp server sitting on the same subnet as the LMS Server (version 3.0) as well as a valid exchange id.
Any suggestions will be great.

Check the smtp.log and see if there are any related error messages

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Job Approval notifications?

I have a question about notification for job approvers in Prime 2.0. I'm trying to setup PI such that a restricted user can create a configuration change on a wireless controller and submit it for approval by the PI admin.
The PI admin will likely not be logging in every day to check job approval status. I can't see anywhere that notifies the admin via email that a job is waiting. can this be done or am I missing something?
-Tim

Hi Tim,
I don't think we have an email optiom to notify the ADMIN to approve the pending jobs ,however if you authorized any job then ONLY admin can approve to run the job.
check the below link:

LMS 4.1 - Job approval Disable error

Hi all,
I have created VRF from LMS 5.1. some days ago i created it sucessful but now it gives me job fail and reason is Job Approval Disable.
Can anyone give hint what is the problem
Please help.
i have attached the images

Job Approval is an option which it just notifies, that it is disabled. Like other options, ie Email Notification, Parallel Execution, Job Password etc.
Job approval is an option where help desk users after creating any job need to wait for execution of job till a user with Approver priviliedge has not approved the job.
The Failure may have some other underlying problem, like incorrect credentials etc. On fail device you should check the failure reason.

Workflow for Preventive Maintenance Job Approval

I need a workflow for Preventive Maintenance Job Approval.
Whenever a PM user issues for a Preventive Maintenance Job it should go for approval up to two level of authority.
Can some one suggest some standard tasks or workflow template which will be useful for the purpose?
Regards,
Manas

Hi Manas Santra,
I dont think that there is a standard workflow is available for preventive maintanance.

LMS 4.1 - No Template Center Job Approval?

Hi,
I cannot find an option to enable Job Approval for Template Center Tasks.
Is this not possible for Template Center?

No, Template Center approval has not yet been implemented. There is a bug open for this, CSCtl21503.

Ciscoworks Job Approval Security

I am working with a customer on enhancing the security around their device administration practices. They have Ciscoworks deployed and are using it, but have no approval processes in pace for the activities undertaken, and Audit has picked up on this.
I have found that the Ciscoworks product provides workflow and approval processes for scheduled jobs. I have suggested the customer implement this but their response is "But I can edit the job after approval, so the approval process is ineffective".
I have been trying to determine if this statement is correct or not. Can a job be edited after approval without it needing to be reapproved?
Secondly, the documentation states that jobs scheduled to run immediately do not need approval. Is it possible to stop jobs being run immediately? If not is there a special report that can be generated for jobs run immediately.
Finally, does the modification of the baseline configuration templates require approval if this is activated, as this was suggested as another means of by passing the approval process.
I have tried reading the documentation on these questions http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_resource_manager_essentials/4.3/user/guide/jobmgt.html
but not surprisingly I cannot see any reference to the detailed questions above.
Sorry I do not have version numbers of the installed product available.
thank you for any assistance offered

This is not possible. The approver feature of RME requires email addresses for the approvers.

Work Paths, selections, and general doing my job better question...

I currently work for a company that prints "Fathead" like wall graphics, i set the images up to print for them, but im looking for a better way to do what i do. Specifically my working with illustrator and Photoshop to setup the cut line for each image. Here is my current step by step procedure:
1) Open image (usually a JPG) in Photoshop CS4
2) Using mainly the Lasso tool's i select the subject to be printed. I'm very fast doing this.
3) Copy/Paste the selection i just made into a new and save it as a TIF file.
4) Back to the original selection i Smooth and Contract the line a few pixels and hit "Make Work Path"
5) Export that path to illustrator (which leaves me with an .AI file)
6) From here im done with Photoshop and i open both the .AI and TIF files into Adobe illustrator CS4
7) The .AI file i give a stroke and then on the Swatches tab i hit New Swatch, name it "CutContour", and select Spot Color & RBG
8) I then copy the CutContour line, paste it onto the TIF image, and line it up over the subject
9) From here all that's left to do is make it the right size it's to be printed at and save it as an EPS file and im done.
The main reason im asking for help here is because I'm not happy with the quality of the cutline Photoshop exports to illustrator (the ai file) after i make it a work path. The anchor points and handle's are often in need of a lot of adjustment despite the fact that my selection in Photoshop was right on the money.
One side note that might be a direction for me to head in,...
I recently was given a jpg file from a guy who said he had already made the selection for me. I wasn't quite sure what he meant but when i saved the image as a tif, opened it in illustrator, and hit CTRL-A to select everything i noticed a cutline was already present. After further examination of the jpg in Photoshop i noticed a "Path 1" on the paths tab, and more importantly that cutline when opened in illustrator was nuts on! Meaning none of the anchor points and handle's needed to be adjusted at all.
Now the person who sent me this file was a customer so i can't rightly ask them how to better do my job :-) lol ...but maybe someone here can tell me how they (for lack of a better word) embedded a cutline or path i guess it's called into a jpg file like that? This would at least save me the step of exporting my selection to illustrator as an AI file and im wondering if however they did it is more accurate then the "Make Work Path" option i currently use.

...useing File | Export | Paths to Illustrator is what i outlined above that i currently do...
My apologies for not catching that. Honestly, my eyes glazed over at about step 2 of your procedure.
I'm not happy with the quality of the cutline Photoshop exports to illustrator (the ai file) after i make it a work path.
A couple of possibilities come to mind. What Tolerance value are you using when you first make a work path out of your selection in Photoshop? 0.5 pixel is the highest precision available, and that's what you should use if you want your path to accurately reflect your selection. Be warned, however, that your path will likely end up with a lot of points, making for an unnecessarily complex path. (Try it with a simple circle.)
Another possibility is that you're working with a low-quality, low-resolution JPEG as your source image. JPEG compression artifacts can affect selection accuracy (with automated tools, like the magic wand or eraser), and overall resolution, of course, will limit path precision. Not much you can do about that other than to start with better-quality images.
After further examination of the jpg in Photoshop i noticed a "Path 1" on the paths tab, and more importantly that cutline when opened in illustrator was nuts on!... maybe someone here can tell me how they (for lack of a better word) embedded a cutline or path i guess it's called into a jpg file like that?
Using a low tolerance (high precision) value make a path from your selection in Photoshop and save the path. Save As a JPG, and the path will be saved along with the image. Do not use Save for Web to create your JPG file.
As others have pointed out in earlier posts, learning to use the pen tool is your best bet... and an absolute necessity if you're going to be doing a lot of this stuff.
Regarding the creation of clipping paths in Photoshop, slap me silly, but I'm going to refer you to the manual (online Help) for that. And if you think that unkind, try posting the question over at the Photoshop forum. Wear a helmet.

Silly Podcast approval question

Ok this might be a silly question but when I submit a Podcast to my Podcast Producer server and choose to submit for approval it does the work and an email is sent to me telling me that it has been submitted for approval and the path to the files. That's all good so far - My question -
What am I supposed to do to approve or reject the podcast??????
Thanks in advance
Gary Finch

It's a completely manual process right now. You'd have to take the stored recording and resubmit it through Podcast Capture (or some other means) if it's approved, or do nothing if it's not!

Job Scheduling question

If I request a ob to be scheduled with the command:
dbms_job.submit()
How can I monitor the status of the job
Which table do I need to perform a select on ?
Thanks

You can answer any question about the dictionary views by issuing
select *
from dict
where table_name like '%'||upper('&keyword')||'%'
in your case 'job'
This should result in dba_jobs, dba_jobs_running and user_jobs

Powershell In SQL Job Agent Question

I have absolutely NO IDEA where to ask this question since there doesn't seem to be a Powershell forum which I can easily find. Just getting signed into the MSDN forum was a painful experience with all of the "verify your account" questions which
is ridiculous.
I never use Powershell and i'm creating a job where i'm trying to call an .exe file to download data to a CSV file. The .exe program requires two date parameters - one for today's date and the other for yesterday's date. I need the dates to be
in the following format:
20141110000000 (YYYYHHDDHHMMSS)
I have absolutely no idea how to pass these parameters to the .exe file via Powershell. I've looked at several examples and not understanding how to pass this correctly, this is what i'm using currently:
Invoke-Item Z:\DataServices\Five9\five9\bin\Release\five9.exe Get-Date -format yyyyMMddHHmmss Get-Date.AddDay(-1) -format yyyyMMddHHmmss
Obviously the above doesn't work and i'm just wasting time - can someone help?
Thanks!

Approver question for CUP

Hi GRC guru's
As we are in the process of customizing CUP ,I have couple of questions so kindly help me out here
1. When requestor select roles which belong different approvers how does the request gets processed
example roles selected are Z_XYZ who's role approver is Tom and second role Z_ABC with role approver John , how is this request handled ?
2. When you run risk anlysisin CUP and you find out that there are risks and there is no mitiagtion control in RAR for risk produced , how will the approver proceed ? should he go back and perform the mitigation in RAR and then mitiagte the risk in CUP or is there a way to mitigate the new risk in CUP which can then be automaticallly pushed to RAR ?
3. Is there way to populate user group in the access request form and is there way to populate the license type in CUP?
Kindly clear my doubts ,Thanks in advance
Regards
Keith.

Hi Alpesh and all
I would like to follow up with your answer to Keith's question below.
1. When requestor select roles which belong different approvers how does the request gets processed
example roles selected are Z_XYZ who's role approver is Tom and second role Z_ABC with role approver John , how is this request handled ? Both the role owner would get email and can approve the request at same time. Unless untill both these approvers approve/reject the request, request can not move to next stage.
My question,
Is there a way to allow users to submit one request with 2 roles with different approvers, if the 1st approver approved the role, the 1st role to be provisioned to immediately without having to wait for the 2nd approver to approve the 2nd role?
The two roles both satisfy the critiria of the same initiator (attribute Role, and both roles are in the role list). Since the roles fall under the same path and stage (only 1 role owern approval stage), I noticed the 1st approved role was not provisioned until the 2nd role is approved. Is there a way to work arond that? It make sense to go ahead provision the 1st role without having to waiting for the 2nd role to be approved or rejected. The roles have the same approval requirement so they should use the same initiator and workflow path.
If you or anybody knows the work around, I would appreciate your sharing the info.
Thanks.
p.s.
I did a test to submit a request with 2 roles, each role satisfy a different workflow initiator therefore different paths are used. 1st role was approved through 1st path and provisioned immediately while 2nd role was waiting in approval stage in the 2nd path. The request is closed once both path were completed.

Guided Procedure Visual Approval Question

Hi,
I'm developing an action that call a Visual Approval user interface.
I have 3 questions:
1) When I click in Approve or Reject button the action is completed and this message is displayed:
(information icon)Action has been completed
I want to display a screen like a summary screen with the information about each step. It's possible with standard templates like Visual Approval?
2) If I click in Reject button, where I know that these action was repproved?
3) Can I get the buttons (Approve or Reject) value in another screen (like grouping parameters)?
Thanks,

Hi Manoel,
1.After the visual approval CO is executed the screen will be only as you specified, it is predifined and you cannot change it.If you want to display some summary you got to create another CO and add it in the same block and the result state of the Visual approval should be assigned to the new CO for display.
2 . Upon clicking the reject button the control will flow to the action specified in the result state of the reject button.
3. Instead on using a Visual approval if you use a webdynpro CO this is possible. While setting the result state you can set the value as the out put of the co and do parameter mapping to get it in the next CO.
Let us know the result....

AME duplicate approver question

Hi all,
I am working on iprocurement module in Oracle R12 and using AME for PR approval process.
May I know for the following two approval situations (Assume all approvers are in the same approval category):
1. A->B->C->B, can I just keep the last occurrence of approver B and make the approval matrix become A->C->B? Seems the configuration variable "repeatedApprovers" will make the matrix become A->B->C
2. Only remove the duplicate approver in the next step. ie. A->B->B->C will become A->B->C, but A->B->C->B will remain unchange.
Thanks in advance.

Job Seeker questions

Okay, so I didn't get the job. I got the interview, but no job.
This has led me to several questions about the job hunting process, and I'm hoping to get a lengthy discussion going and pick the brains of Neil, Paul and any others who may have advice.
Question 1 (more to follow)
The people interviewing me seemed surprised by the fact that my current employer did not know I was looking for a job. And now I'm wondering if that hurt me. Is it proper etiquette to let your company know you're looking?! I thought that was a bad idea since, if they know they might just fire you and find someone to replace you to cover their own ***.
Question 2
Is it better to move where I want to live and THEN look for a job? (I'm trying to relocate from Northern California to SoCal about 400 miles)
Question 3
Can a male designer design like a female? By that I mean this. THe company I interview for was a hotel type company. Very elegant, delicate designs. My designs are fairly hard-edged, very 'guy like'. How do I design like a woman? I have a feeling I lost out on this one to a female designer...
more will follow, as they come up

Hahah, yeah Paul, my last name is Polish. The Wicz ending is usually a dead giveaway.
So does anyone else think I should move first? What about money? I've got some saved, but I don't want it to disappear while I'm job searching. I'd thought about getting a bartender or waiter job while I'm looking, but they aren't going to like that I may only be there a few months, or less if I'm lucky.
My current job may transfer me if they know I'm dead set on moving. They want to keep me bad enough that even though it would be inconvenient for them, they would do it. (probably) BUT I'm not sure I want to be here for another year, and so it goes, it doesn't seem fair to let them go through all the hassle of working with me on a transfer and leaving in 6 months.
It costs 250 dollars to fly down to So Cal on short notice. So if I get one interview a month, that's 250 a month on interviews, plus time and trouble to get transport to and from the airport. That is a pain, but at least I have a job and can make money while I'm looking. So even though I'm putting a lot of money out, I'm still making money you see? But if I move first, I'm completely not making money, yeah I'm saving money by not flying down, but think of all the money lost by not working.
I got an interview after about 5 resume submissions. Which seems pretty good, like I'll be getting interviews often. I've heard for most it's like 3 out of 100 apps submitted. So if I'm getting interviews often, I should probably be close. I just can't decide....
