Running App-V 5.0 package in read-only mode.

Hello.
I have sequenced Firefox with an older version of Java that is used to run a web application.
Is there a way to run the package in read-only/sandbox mode, or so that changes done during the session will be discarded as the package is closed?

Hi,
not directly: App-V itself doesn't have a 'entirely ready-only' mode.
There is one setting in the Sequencer to enforce NTFS access permissions inside a package (so that user can/can't write to the virtual C:\Program files or alike). This setting has been intorduced with HF4 for App-V 5 SP2. Before that, the ACLs were enforced.
However this doesn't help to address your requirement.
What you could do it to remove user-made changes when the application closes. (so remove the reg values in HKCU, remove modified files in Appdata, Localappdata..), but this isn't easy to achive, as the App-V scripting interface does not allow to run post-shutdown
scripts inside the protected environment (so, you can't trigger anything that launches _after_ firefox ended but that still has access to the virtualized HKCU\Software\Mozilla|Firefox locations.
There are some workarounds, like to remove the resources from the _redirected_ location afterwards (HKCU/Software/AppV... somewhere, see http://www.virtualvibes.co.uk/where-the-app-v-client-puts-stuff/ for
the general locations) or you could use a 'wrapper' application that is running inside the virtual environment and, launches Firefox itself and cleans up stuff after FFox ended. Both are not really nice.
You could be able to redirect some settings to "non-appv'ed" locations outside of the virtual environment, but this basically is only usabel for files/folders (not reg values)
If you are using a User Profile Management solution, you should be able to tell that to either ignore certain applications or to explicitely clean up stuff. If the UPM solution supports App-V 5, it should be able to handle it.
Note that App-V does not allow the user to change _any_ 'programmatic' files inside the virtual environment (like .js); see http://blogs.technet.com/b/gladiatormsft/archive/2013/10/24/app-v-5-on-that-issue-with-firefox-where-you-cannot-save-preferences.aspx.

ZForm only opens is 'read only" mode - but WDR_TEST_ADOBE, runs fine

Dear readers,
I am working on an Adobe form, now ZForm only opens is 'read only" mode - but when i run WDR_TEST_ADOBE, it runs fine and it is interactive and I am able to click on the buttons.
I compared the form from WDR_TEST_ADOBE, and changed the layout to ZC1, and run the Web dynpro script. After activating and running the webdynpro, I see that it is still acting strange and none of the input fields are accepting input.
There seems to be nothing wrong with the ADS or live cycle designer.
Some setting in my Webdynpro is preventing this form from being displayed correctly.
When I attach the form - "WDR_TEST_ADOBE_SIMPLE" from the WD - WDR_TEST_ADOBE, and test my WD, The form is being displayed as read only.
which again leaves to the conclusion that the something is not right in the WD.
~Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks

Also in the interface properties under sfp,
when I change the interface type from
"ABAP dictionary based interface" to
"XML schema based interface".
All the entries under Form interface->Import parameters get wiped out, and I have to enter them again.
Also below is the system information.

As of NetWeaver 7.0 SPS10 we strongly recommend you use ZCI forms with an XML interface only. Because additional central features have been added in subsequent SPs (input help and dropdown list boxes), we generally recommend that you always use the most up-to-date Support Package for Web Dynpro ABAP.

Putting apps database in Read-Only mode

Hi,
I want to put the apps database in read-only mode to that user will be able to login into the applications and see data but will not be able to update it.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

I am still looking at how to do this because if users
update the UAT/test database, when the prod upgrade
is completed, they will think that their updates will
be available and this will cause some issues.This is a training/expectation-setting issue, not a technical one. You need to make sure that your users understand the difference between a test system and production, and that changes made in testing will not be present in production. They also need to understand that this situation is actually to their benefit: it enables them to really work with the test system to uncover potential problems and learn new features, without fear of making changes that could negatively impact their day-to-day work in production.
Please note that I'm not trying to be a jerk here. I very respectfully submit that attempting to make an instance read-only for training purposes, even if possible, will involve a great deal of technical work for very little (and perhaps even negative) overall benefit to the users.
Regards,
John P.

"Device Manager is running in read-only mode because you are running it on a remote computer" when local

Hello - since configuring a Windows Web Server 2008 R2 x64 to be hardened for an internet-facing deployment I receive this:
"Device Manager is running in read-only mode because you are running it on a remote computer."
when entering Device Manager.
I have tried reversing the changes I have made, such as:
- Re-adding Client for Microsoft Networks
- Re-enabling NetBIOS over TCP-IP
- Re-adding File and Printer Sharing
- Disabling the Windows Firewall in all profiles (public, domain, private)
I get no joy. It looks like a Microsoft ballsup. I'll try and use Process Monitor to have a look. Google returns only 1 page for this error.
Luke

Got it.
After my changes to DHCP and static IPs the machine picked up the IP address of another server on my little home LAN. The hostname in IPCONFIG was different to the actual server computer name and so this led Device Manager to think the connection and the
local machine were different.
What an odd and infuriating problem. My thoughts on this are that Microsoft should be more verbose with error messages and their causes. For example, displaying the values of the assertion would help diagnose a problem; "The host-name www02.farm.brand.com
that you are connecting from does not match the local host-name rest01.dev.farm.brand.com. Connections from remote computers can only use Device Manager in read-only mode; some options will be disabled."
When troubleshooting, the main thing on an engineer's mind is "what has led Windows to its [unexpected] conclusion?"

My Finder is opening folders in Read-Only Mode.

When I click on Finder. A folder is opening in read only mode. When I open any folders in it, then a new window is opened again in read only mode.
Just the "New Finder Window" is having this problem.
Please help me out with my problem. I want the Finder to open windows normally rather than in read only modes.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

Hi,
I have upgraded our EBS 11510 to 1213 , on oracle 11202 DB.

I would like to give the end users an ability to open the old application and the db in read only mode.
It is possible the open the application in read only mode ?
If nnot what is my option the give an old-enchanged application to the end users , so they can compare diffs between old and new app ?

GPO settings - documents in sharepoint 2007 sometimes open in read-only mode - needs IE reset to fix

Hi,
We've got an intranet running on SharePoint 2007.
We also enforce alot of group policies to our users.
But there is a problem that keeps reoccuring:
On random moments, when a user tries to edit a document on any random document library in SP 2007, it gets opened in read-only mode.
The only temporary fix we found for this is resetting the IE settings in Internet Options -> 'tab' advanced -> Reset IE settings... and pressing Reset.
We think it is some GPO setting that we have malconfigured or forgot to configure and we hope that someone could point us in a direction to troubleshoot or even solve this.
Thanks in advance for reading and providing help.

Hello,
I also suspect that there might be issue with IE plug-in so could you confirm that? you can also tell su what plug-in you see in IE.
You might also want to look at this similar threads:

Editor stuck in read only mode

Am able to connect to a 9i database, but am unable to edit any code. Logon appears successful, connection made, and am able to query the database. However, when I open stored procedures for editing, the edit window doesn't respond to any keystrokes.
The editor behaves as though I were in some kind of read-only mode. However, when I exit the procedure, I am prompted to save "changes".
James Brockman

Logged this as a SR on Metalink and the problem seems to be down to use of colons in my connection names.
I was using a naming convention of
host:SID for accounts connecting as system and
host:SID:schema for accounts connecting as specific schema
Which nicely groups and orders my connections by host. Sadly this prevents edit of stored pl/sql units (package, procedures, functions)

Essbase in read-only mode

Gurus,
I have three essbase databases in my environment, and I am planning to run a command to sync the three dataases.
During the sync process, I do not want the users to log in to any of the databases, meaning I dont want users to have access to any of them or change any data in the databases.
Is there a way where I can put the databases in 'read-only' mode so that I can run the command.
Or is there any other script or any process I can use so that users wont have access until I complete the sync process.
Any suggestion is appreciateD
Thanks

Maxl would probably be your best bet since you are likely using it with the data migrations.
alter application "appName" disable connects; /* nobody lower than applciation manager can connect */
This has a number of options
- disable updates
- disable commands (Prevent all requests to databases in the application, including non-data-specific requests, such as viewing database information or changing database settings. All users are affected, including other administrators. Administrators are affected by this setting as a safety mechanism to prevent accidental updates to databases during maintenance operations.)
More detailed info is at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_altapp.html.

EDITED
If this is a planning application, you will also want to deal with those connecting to Essbase through Planning. This is handled through the Application Mode (see http://in2hyperion.com/post/2012/09/26/Change-Application-Maintenance-Mode-via-Command-Line.aspx on automating). Keep in mind, any connection from Planning to Essbase uses an admin ID, not the user ID.

Hi,

Is the exception in a read-only env? And is there a process writing at the same time?
When you say you've upgraded and rebuilt your databases, do you mean that you started again from an empty environment directory? How long did it take for the error to occur again after you rebuilt the databases?
Please run the DbVerifyLog utility on the environment and post the complete stack trace along with a listing (ls -l) of the environment directory.

Does someone have an idea what the problem could be ?

Hi
Object can become invalid, if the underlying objects are dropped/invalidated.
So even if you create or validate the underlying objects these objects by themself do not become valid. You have to either make them valid or you should use it atleast one time as select/desc or any other query so that Oracle implicitly make it valid.
Your source datatabase has valid synonym because after dropping/creating you must have selected that synonym atleast one, but this selection procedure would be after you copied your data to the target database.

Thanks,Shawn

The search server goes into read only mode in response to certain error conditions. Simply restart the service to put the search server back into R/W mode. The server will attempt to self repair on startup. You should review your recent search server logs to see if there are errors that may have caused the transition to read only mode. If problems persist, contact tech support for further assistance in troubleshooting.

VD offline;still the Volume is accessible in read-only mode.

Hi,
In our lab, we have a test server setup with Windows 2012 R2(Build 9600) Standard edition installed.
As part of our test exercise, we need to induce the failure of a RAID 0 drive(internal storage) and carry out the volume/applications recovery.
We induced the drive failure by pulling out a disk drive from a RAID 0 volume. As soon as the drive was pulled out, the LSI storage controller reported the VD offline. The windows disk management did show the uninitialzed/unallocated drive
on rescanning drives.
But the specific volume is still accessible from Windows explorer in read only mode. The applications(sql server database) that are running on the specific volume are also running fine (they are of read-only nature).
We are quite surprised by this behavior. Please advise.
Thanks and Regards,
Jisha

have you attempted a reboot? Pulling a drive may have different behavior than a failed drive.
LSI is a raid controller but if you see both drives it sounds like you may be using a software raid?
