Save state on logoff? Server as main desktop w/ multiple users

Hello everyone,
Just got my mac mini server and plan to use it as the main desktop in our house for my wife and I.
We both have laptops, but I hope to eventually make the laptops as thin-as-we-can clients and keep most of our data on the server.
So as the mac mini will be our main desktop in the house, we both have created user profiles and log in and log out of it a few times a day as different users take the helm.
Is there a way that we can set it up so that when we log off, instead of closing all the programs and whatnot that we were using, the state is remembered so that when we log in again things are as we left them?
Thanks for any help. I'm a total server newbie!

How do I save a pdf form that can be updated by multiple users

I work for a company that is trying to digitize all of their paper forms. As I am creating these forms, I need to know how one person can open and fill in information, then email the form to another person who can continue to fill out the same form. Any ideas? I already tried enabling usage rights in adobe reader, but we can only have one person fill out some info and once they save it, no one else can make any changes to that specific form.

They are using the original reader. One employee was able to save it where it could still be filled in (I just found out), but another user tried to do save as for the info that was put into the form. So I don't know if she saved it as a pdf and it cleared all the original formatting or not. Any ideas of what happened at that point?
@GiladD: There are no special apps, this is just opening up as a pdf on a PC desktop. The second user opens the file and it's a normal pdf with no more fields to fill in.
@Bill@VT We are trying to get the issues resolved before more employees start filling this out on their iPads.

Remote Panel server monitoring and control by multiple users

Hi . . . ..
I just did what is in below attached image. . . . Now I have to control as well as monitor the VI file which is in server PC. But If I supposed to use below steps(please refer image), the clients can be control the VI seperately. But the status of each client cannot be monitored by server PC. I used another way that is "Non-reentrant" option... But its provide controlling by queue manner. . . . .
My question is, is there any possible to control the server VI at a time by all clients. . . .?
Please guide me for this... I am very much thankful about this. .. .. ..

iPhoto has no Cross Platform ability whatever. It's designed with one user on one Mac in mind. It's not the app you want for your set up. Sorry but that's the way it is.

New Lion Server, New way to import multiple users?

In Snow Leopard Server there is no way to import more than one user without buying 3rd party software. Does anyone know if this has been addressed in OS X 10.7 ? I have 220 users to create and wanted to find or before I went crazy. Thanks very much.

Haven't tried this...but:
WorkGroup Manager 10.7 Server->Import...
It spawns a dialogue letting you choose a file and set various parameters like duplicate handling.

Mac Mini Server - Best Way to Enable Multiple Users to Connect via Remote Access Concurrently?

Hi
Is there a limit on the number of users that can connect simultaneously via remote access to a Mac Mini running Mac Mini Server?

If you have the server application on your Mac mini there is an upper limit but it is so high that I wouldn't worry about it. Depending on how you will be using the server and what it will be supporting there is a practical limit based on performance not software. If you reach the limit of satisfactory performance, the solution is adding another Mac mini server.

How to prevent end user to create a Query View and save back to BW Server?

Dear All :
Do Someone know that how to setup authorization for Bex Query View Creation? We want to prevent end user to create a Query View to save back to BW Server his favorite folder. when our user run Bex Query, he can base on this query and use Bex Analyzer's save function to save a Query View and save into his favorite folder.
My question is :
1. Can we set up a Authorization to prevent end user to save Bex Query View?
2. Or can I remove Save function from Bex Analyzer to prevent end user use save function, But Developer should not to be prevent .
Thanks for all of your kindly response.
Best Regard

Hi.
Yes, you can do it like you outline in your point 1):
You need to use the authorization object S_RS_COMP for this. This object let's you control what parts/components of a query the user can do stuff to. So, in your case, you need to have a role for the users, where you do not grant create-access to the component QVW, and then you need another role for developers, where you grant full access or whatever you need for your developers.
See [this post|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a6c54319-0e01-0010-20a4-fb81ad32f330?QuickLink=events&overridelayout=true&5003637661135] and the [SAP Help entry|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/80/1a6859e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm].
You will also need to use the authorization object S_RS_COMP1. If you already have a productive system with users doing reporting, both objects will be maintained in one of the roles already.
You also want to consider using the object S_RS_PARAM to allow users to create variants for the variabel screen.
Good luck.

Path does not exit - While trying to save file on SharPoint Server 2013 from client machine

Hi,
I have installed Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise Edition on my testing Lab environment (On VM Workstation 10) on Windows Server 2012 with SQL server 2012, I can access all files stored at SharePoint Server from any physical machine, I can share
a single file among different people to work simultaneously, but here i stuck on saving any file from client machine to directly on SharePoint Server, Attached is the snap shot, whenever I try to save any file directly It says Path Does Not Exist, If I drag
and drop any file directly to SharePoint I do not see any error message.
I read from different posts that I need to Enable Desktop Experience Feature on Server 2012, which I installed but no positive result gained :(
I will appreciate for any possible help?

Saving composition/session state to a server for reloading later

We are creating an interactive quiz for children of up to 20 questions and loading each question into a quiz controller window but the memory is maxing out on tablets causing the browser to crash after 10 questions.
Is there a way we can save a browser's session state on the server side (or client-side) so that a user can come back to a question later and continue from where they had previously left? Perhaps cloning part of the sym object and saving it as a json array?
Thanks

Save a copy of the document in Desktop

Hi
I am trying to use the saveAs function to just save the actual file in the my desktop.  but I do not want to convert anything.
the saveAs function ask for a saveOptions where we can configure the saveas options.
I just want the openned file to be copied to my Desktop.
follow my actual code:
saveFile = new File( "~/Desktop/" + app.activeDocument.name)
saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
saveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
saveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
saveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
saveOptions.quality = 5;
app.activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, saveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
But this code alter the actual file.
If i Open a tiff and use this script it will save a jpeg... I do not to change the opened file. Just copy it to my Desktop
Best Regards

You either need to determine the document's existing format and use the correct saveOptions for that format or make a reference to the existing file and use the File.copy() method to move it.
function getFormat(){
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    try{
        if(executeActionGet(ref).hasKey(stringIDToTypeID("format"))){
            return executeActionGet(ref).getString(stringIDToTypeID("format"));
    }catch(e){}
var saveFile = new File( "~/Desktop/" + app.activeDocument.name);
var docFormat = getFormat();
switch(docFormat){
    case 'Photoshop':
            // set photoshop saveOptions
            break;
    case 'TIFF':
            // set tif saveOptions
            break;
    case 'JPEG':
            // set jpg saveOptions
            break;
    // add case statements for other formats you want to support
    default:
         // handle un-supported formats and newly created document
app.activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, saveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
function getDocPath(){
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
    var res = desc.hasKey(stringIDToTypeID('fileReference')) ? File(desc.getPath(stringIDToTypeID('fileReference'))).exists: false;
    return res ? File(desc.getPath(stringIDToTypeID('fileReference'))):false;
// may want to do a normal Document.save() to make sure file is current
var saveFile = new File( "~/Desktop/" + app.activeDocument.name);
var existingDocFile = getDocPath();
if( existingDocFile ){
    // use copy first
    existingDocFile.copy(saveFile);
    // uncomment if you want to 'move' the file
    //existingDocFile.remove();

I can't type anything. Typewriter comes up for a second and phone shuts what I was on and goes to main desktop page.

Today, I cannot type anything. In notes, reminders, email, safari, facebook, every time I go to put the curser on a spot to type, or try to add another note, the phone jumps out of the file I am in and goes to the main desktop page. It worked around 7 PM when I was checking something online while I was out, but when I was back home and tried to update one of the notes I update daily (I am keeping a log), this started happening. It won't go to the typewriter keys (it flashes them for a second and then everything disappears and I am at home page again. When I clicked the bottom middle button, a black screen with the white apple appeared but my icon page came back when I pressed it again. I shut down and immediately opened again, thinking a reboot would help but it didn't. I have it shut down for the night and tomorrow if same problem I will call Verizon. Wednesday, I tried to check my calendar to see what day was best to schedule something, and none of the entries were there... not even the birthdays. I use iPhone calendar as my main calendar and have all my appointments stored there. That did come back about an hour later when I went to add an appointment.
I am hoping this new problem fixes itself with an overnight shutdown and morning reboot. Wish me luck.

This is a pretty bizarre situation, Grandma_Patches. I would suggest backing up your phone to iTunes, completing a restore of your device and then the update. I'm confident that this will address and resolve your concerns. Keep me posted.

Installed hotfix for error 3241 when you run RESTORE FILELISTONLY statement in SQL Server 2008 R2. But still get same errormessage.

I ran into erro 3241 when you run RESTORE FILELISTONLY statement in SQL Server 2008 R2.
Found the hotfix
Cumulative Update 13 for SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1.
I have installed this hotfix, now running 10.50.2876.0
But I still get the same error when trying to restore a backup.
What else do I need to do?

second to what bodo said Instead of installing SQL server 2012 SP1 CU13 it would be better to install
SQL Server 2008 r2 Sp2 SP's are more throughly tested and would include all fixes for CU and Sp1

Lion server vs lion desktop

I'm in need of the Profile Manager from Lion Server for administering iPads in our environment.
I understand that to do this really well within the environment, I'll need to be able to have a static IP and I will be able to arrange that.
My question is more about what I may lose on my macbook if I go ahead and bump the OS to Lion Server instead of Desktop. The biggies on my machine for usage are, of course, iTunes, Parallels, logmein, evernote, MS Office, Garage Band, Logic, iMovie, etc.
What negative impacts am I in for if I move to server on this machine?
Alternately, is there any way I can make a true, cheap OTA Profile Manager (a la MDM) on a Lion Desktop or even a windows desktop or server? I can't be spending a lot on this, but I could certainly afford Lion Server (but not a dedicated new machine for it).
Thanks ahead...

You won't lose anything from a desktop or client standpoint - any app you can run in Lion (client) you can run on Lion Server. The major difference is the addition of the server-based apps, some networking tweaks, and a minimal performance hit if you have clients fedeing off your Mac at the same time you're trying to use it (the same issue when running any background task, really).

Javascript not working with 'Display as Text (does not saves state)'

Hi,
We have these following items in P3 of our application,
P3_EDIT_ACCOUNT Display as Text (saves state)
P3_USEFUL_LINKS Display as Text (saves state)
P3_LAST_APPROVED Display as Text (saves state)
P3_ARCHIVES Display as Text (saves state)
And we are initializing these items in a pl/sql process under 'Page Rendering'
For example,
:P3_ARCHIVES := '<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> ';
When our environment was upgraded from HTMLDB1.5 to HTMLDB2.0,
instead of displaying the proper value of :P3_ARCHIVES,
it was displaying the tags,
i.e. instead of displaying 'Archives', it was displaying the whole
'<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> '
So, when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)' and it was working.
But then we have another problem,
We render the rest of the same page with another pl/sql block,
Here is a portion from that pl/sql for your reference,
htp.p('
<script>
//Script to check the status change.
//The script source is rendered through PL/SQL.
function checkStatus()
var promptStr = someString;
if(ans.toUpperCase() == "AMBER" || ans.toUpperCase() == "RED")
          var cnfm = confirm(promptStr);
          if(cnfm)
          do something....
</script>
htp.print('
<td width="5%" bgcolor="#ebebc5" height="19" align="middle" >
<input TYPE="radio" name="'||l_g_fnumber||'" value="GREEN"');
IF l_allow_update THEN
     htp.print(' onClick="checkStatus()"');
ELSE
htp.print(' disabled onmousedown="return false;"');
                    do something....
Now the issue is , when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)', the checkStatus() function is not getting called in the onClick
event of the radio button and hence the confirm window for the call to
confirm(promptStr) is not coming up.
But if we revert back the items to 'Display as Text (saves state)',
the checkStatus() javascript function is getting called properly but html tags are displayed against the items instead of the proper value (as mentioned in ********)
Please do let us know a possible solution to this issue.
Thanks & Regards-
Rupak

Thanks Varad for your response.
This is the error i am getting.
1 error has occurred
PLSQL anonymous block source type can be used ONLY with Display Text (based on PLSQL) item type.
yes i am using in the source..
I also tried with the PL/SQL Expression of FUNCTION in this case it is executing the query but once i run the page ora- 06550 error occured.
Thanks

now my question is how can I save state of my first form even after clicking on submit button...........
pls,help.

Hi Shirish,
in your scenario you can write manual process for one form in your both forms, using this way you can achieve you functionality.
do the above and for that manual process keep the button name as your second form button means, for two forms saving with only one button.
i am not sure in this, but you can try something.
Thanks

Questions in regards to server 2012R2 Remote desktop Service deployment and GPO

Hi Everyone
We have a business requirement moving to 2012R2 RDSH server. I have installed a 2012R2 member servers and enabled Remote desktop licensing role. I have activated the licenses. the servers is in operational
I have deployed 3 windows 2012R2 member server "RDS1" , "RDS2" and "RDS3".
on RDS1 I ran Add roles and Feature Wizard > Remote Desktop Services installation > Quick Start >Session based desktop deployment to complete the installation.
On RDS1 Server Manage Dashboard Page Select Remote Desktop Services > Overview. Under RD Licensing I added my 2012R2 license server "2012r2-tslic". Go to task. Edit deployment properties RD license mode to per device and click OK.
Reboot RDS1
Check RD Licensing Diagnoser everything is clear
On RDS2 I did the exact same thing ran Add roles and Feature Wizard > Remote Desktop Services installation > Quick Start >Session based desktop deployment to complete the installation.
But With RDS2 I move this server to an OU that link to a GPO with RD licensing details. after reboot the servers check RD Licensing Diagnoser I can see 2012r2-tslic specified as the license servers.
Based on this document
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2013/09/20/rd-licensing-configuration-on-windows-server-2012.aspx Are you suppose to configure RD license server via Remote desktop Service deployment ? Not GPO ?
Here are my questions
We currently have ten 2008r2 terminal servers in a NLB cluster. each RDSH server have in house application installed on each one of them. User connect to the 2008R2 RDSH servers via RDP connection. we have a restricted GPO apply to those
RDSH servers. user cannot do anything on RDSH servers apart from running the application and use excel. On the remote desktop session host configuration we have enable settings like end a disconnected session , Active session limit ,
remote control users session , LPT port redirection.
We push out RD license server detail via GPO to the terminal servers
Can I use our existing GPO apply the licensing server settings , desktop restriction setting to the 2012R2 RDHS servers or we should be using Remote desktop Service deployment to do the job ? If that is the case how would you transfer the
current 2008r2 environment to 2012 using Remote desktop Service deployment. is that mean I have to manually configure 1 by 1.
Please help
Many thanks

Hi,
Please see my response to you in the other thread. Please contact me via email and I will go over the basic planning and deployment steps with you which will help clear things up and get you started off on the right foot.
You should only run through the wizard and create a RDS deployment once. Then you add the various servers (RDSH, RD Licensing, RD Gateway, etc), set Deployment properties, etc.
Thanks.
