Hi John,
Thanks for that question, this is what I had in my command.
ImportSecurity.sh "admin,Appname"
Changed to
ImportSecurity.sh "Appname,admin"
Thanks John...

Getting an error when Importing a security file

Hi,
Im struggling to import a security file into planning..this is the error i get
Enter password: Tue Mar 30 09:30:53 SAST 2010 :: Validating the Secfile.txt...
Tue Mar 30 09:30:53 SAST 2010 :: ---------------FILE NOT FOUND EXCEPTION COMING-------
The server is running unix: I'm running the command from the directory where the ImportSecurity.sh utility is...I have also copied the secFlie.txt file into the same directory. But still get the same error.

There is a slight issue with the unix versions
If you use the exportsecurity utility it will create a file called :- secFile.txt
When you use the importsecurity utility it looks for a file called :- Secfile.txt
As it is case sensitive you have to update the exported secFile.txt
Cheers

Security file migrating

Hi,We are upgrading to Essbase 6.5.1 by migrating a server in Essbase 5.02.I would like to know if there's a way to migrate the security file from one server to another.Many thanks

the Advanced Security Manager does not export Essbase passwords, probably due to the fact that the Essbase API does not retrieve them. So you would need to manually fill in the passwords in an export file before importing them back in. Essbase Administration Services (works with Essbase 6.2 + allows for copying security from one sever to another

How to secure file

Hi
I m coding . I want to secure my file so that no body can make changes in it.can u tell how?

hi rani patil ji,

securing files in abap
After doing all kind of ABAP work for many years, its often amusing for me to see such a system as SAP R/3 being so vulnerable and so unprotected from attacks and sabotage. The system has very strong security mechanisms, so complicated that it probably takes years to build up the experience managing all that, but those things can be used to restrict access for normal users. Anyone who wants to target it can find some ways, combining existing functionality, holes not closed by administrators, probably complemented by social engineering. It seems that its just because normally the people that have an access to such system are too busy to screw it. But what if some nice behaving well paid consultant is actually looking to sell your data? Or if someone unhappy with the very wise executive decision to let a crowd of folks go look for another job wants to say the last word? The fact is, and I like to repeat it every time I hear that someone has decided to strip us of some authorisations, that anyone with some technical SAP experience will always find the way. Or lets say, most likely will.
Before I go further, let me give a couple of notices:
Some things discussed below were actually tried by me, on various versions of SAP. It can happen that some trick I tried several years ago is already blocked by SAP. I never want to try certain tricks again - its not good, and I dont have my own SAP system to play with. I assume no responsibility on the results of trying those innocent tricks.
The first thing that you learn as an ABAPer is that you can read the data directly from SAP database tables. And not only read, but also update. Direct updates, unless done on customers own tables, in theory can break the SAP warranty. But we have to do this from time to time, and there is nothing more simple that can screw up the whole system. Just one line of code. But hey, its not only about sabotage! What about messing with the accounting? Or changing your own user account information? During the SAP boom days (end of 90s), a code to get yourself the best authorisation available in the system was circulating over the Net. Simple updates of USR* tables. The guy who wrote it pulled it back later because he didnt feel well about it.
Most companies have a policy of not allowing direct updates of SAP tables, but not every company enforces it through QA process. I remember how did I learn that direct updates are not good. It was probably a couple of months after I took my BC400 course that I got a task of programming a mass update of customer master. I think it was that simple update of KNVV that got my change back from QA with a big red cross. Good work! Thats when I understood also how important the quality assurance is.
The next funny thing you learn as an ABAP programmer is that there are some system variables. And also that they can be manipulated too. What is especially useful its changing the value of return code SY-SUBRC after failed authorisation check. Yes, you need to be authorised to change values in debugger, but this is what we all have in development systems, and for some limited periods even in production. No big deal if its dev? But it can be a good starting point and a gate to other systems! And it brings even more fun if when doing some nasty update, you change the current user ID to be stored as who has updated it to some other than yours!
Though at some critical points SAP checks the authorisation other than with standard authority-check and SY-SUBRC, most of time its still good old return code, and it doesnt look like its going to change. But why should we ABAPers care if under the debugger, we can change almost any SAP program without asking SAP or our admin for access key. Just jump over it! (Kind of open-source - feel free to modify if you need to!) Then, why not to transport this change to the productive system if management thinks that having QA folks go through each modified piece of code that is going to be transported is a waste of corporate money? As if its not the code that runs the enterprise blood through the servers.
But its not only the code. There is a useful transaction SE16N, where SAP has implemented a command (&sap_edit) that allows you to modify just any table in SAP. The command name implies that its internal use only and should be reserved for SAP support folks, but I have never seen it asking whether I am an SAP employee. Oh, there are change documents that they use to track all those changes, but there is also a menu item to delete them, and after all, why not to play with the table storing them directly? OK, to do all those things you need to be authorised, but dont give up: there are debugger (see above) and other tricks (see below) that get us there.
That was about changing the data, but sometimes even reading can be considered as a biggest sin. At some point in SAP career, everyone will see authorisation hysteria. It starts with some global effort to strip us of our rights. Sure, we developers should be hanged after seeing some secret production data, so to prevent the mass executions, they first revoke the rights for standard business transactions. Then, normally several years after that, someone says hey! those potentially bad bad guys have SE16 and can view data just from any table! Oh my! Now we set the authorisations for each table. S_TABU_DIS is the cure! And the tables are gone for us, forever. No, wait! we have database views! and many other things that you get using where-used-list for the table in question in SE11 (a very special SAP feature nearly unknown to professional accountants). There is even more. There are hundreds of funcion modules in SAP and the changes always are that after investing some time into research, but still considerably less than we spend explaining that if we are supposed to analyse production problems, we need some more authorisation to do that, we can find some magic function module that, being called directly in SE37, gives us the data we need. And dont forget that very often developers are given rights to schedule background jobs that run with any user they want and then read the output. No limits - it can be helped only by a different authorisation process, where everything in a system is really integrated. For example, database views inherit authorisation of tables, and SELECTs check things like S_TABU_DIS authomatically. But overhead of doing that will probably make the systems unusable.
As so many things can be done if we got enough authorisations, one would ask whats the big deal? Just stop giving the debug with change authorisation away and this will save the system from abuse. Well, there are always countermeasures. Each system has some special users that have special authorisations. And frequently those users are maintained as default login user for some RFC connection. One very well known example is the user of the APO CIF interface. Till mid-2006, it was a general advice from SAP to give that interface user SAP_ALL authorisation. Now, years after introducing CIF, they have issued an OSS note that describes a safer setup. But the system that still has the old setup, or has some other user for interfacing with other systems, there are fancy things one can do with that. You need just a debug session without change authorisation and some RFC-capable function on the target system. A good one is, for example, RFC_READ_TABLE, which is present on all systems regardless of which applications are installed. When called under debugger in SE37 with appropriate RFC destination, the function jumps into the target system, and your session does this together. The place to watch is the function SFCS_FA_FUNCTION_INVOCE, where the remote call happens. If you follow the cross-system call with Step-Into, you can then open a new window on the target system that will be running not with your poor user, but with that special one! While this is a very common approach to interfacing two systems, if a special authorisation somes into question, then building the interface with an intermediate system to prevent abuse of RFC could solve the problems, but the complexity will be the price to pay.
The next inviting feature of SAP is the ability to run operating system commands on the application server. This can be done either with the function SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE or directly with CALL SYSTEM. The former does some security checks to prevent running some commands that can harm the system but this check is of course very limited as SAP can never know what command is dangerous on your system. The most dangerous of all that is that the command will be run as a subprocess, with the same OS user as that of the SAP instance. Which means, you can run a process with the same OS authorisations as SAP, having access to the same data etc. The most simple sabotage by stopping the SAP at most needed moment (scheduled by cron if its running on UNIX) is obviously stupid, but what about manipulating some files (e.g. with data for or from external systems) or even transport files? With transport files, its not that straightforward as it used to be as now files are compressed (in older versions, you could modify program source code right in the transport files), but if they are not encrypted, they can be used to implement custom logic directly or plant a back doors for later time.
You are not convinced because all you can do is to run a single command? Well, this single command can get you a terminal window on your PC, running a shell on the application server! Just install an X server on the PC and launch something like xterm on the app server, setting the display parameter to the PC - takes several seconds. X applications like xterm are present in all default UNIX installations. If the SAP is running on a Windows machine, its not better, because you can always have a Cygwin environment (the same one used to get an X server on your PC), and all you need is to transfer several files to the SAP server, which can be done easily with direct FTP, file upload functions or network shares. As soon as you get a terminal, running other things is becoming much easier! Unless some knowledgeable admin restricts the authorisations to the maximum extent, erases unneeded OS applications from the server and, best of all, restricts the network connections between the server and the rest of the network. Interfaces could use some TCP ports that are opened only between certain machines on the network and the rest - closed for more security. But I dont believe anyone in the world is doing that. Thats waste of corporate money and lost of convenience after all!
Lets say, we got some hole to get through. What can be done in some short time? For sure, well want to plant a backdoor to ease our later activity. No system has better resources for that. They could set the system level to productive to forbid the changes, they kick us with developer keys and object access keys. But all we need is just one ABAP command, INSERT REPORT. Surprisingly, this one doesnt care at all what program are you going to modify. THERE ARE NO CHECKS! It can be anything, anywhere including production system, and on execution, SAP doesnt care if you dont have development authorisation. So, well start with that, having that one line hidden in some nice customer program, sneak through the absent or sleepy QA procedures and we are ready for a next assignment.
All those simple tricks above can be dealt with and holes can be closed. But because doing that required some effort, and knowledge and money is an important prerequisite, most likely we will live with that for years from now. Which is not really bad - if we save some time when analysing a production problem, well probably have more time to do a proper code review, and do many other things right. There should be more tricks and Ill be glad to know and discuss them (for fun, not for breaking!), so any comments will be very welcomed.

My scanner isn't a choice in File Import in PSE 8 for Mac

I just loaded PSE 8 in my new Macbook (Snow Leopard), but my Epson scanner doesn't appear in File>Import. I've followed all the instructions I can find including loading Rosetta and downloading the Twain drivers from the Epson site. Can anyone help?

You will need to go to Epson's site to see what is available for your scanner model. If you find one, download it and follow the instructions for installing it.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but I have a canon scanner (and it's so old there's never going to be an intel plug-in for it).

CS5.5 hangs on file import

I have been using PP for several versions and have never experienced any major issues until now. At some point in the last few weeks (cannot link it to a recent PP update, but that may be the case) I have started having extreme problems when importing files. It started on my laptop, then I experienced the same problem on my desktop.
I nearly always import .mov files and have had no problems in the past. Now PP hangs randomly on file import. It seems to work more often than not if I import one file at a time, but even then it may stop randomly on a file. If I restart it may successfully import the file it stopped on, or it may crash again. It is impossible to import a large batch of files at once, so working on a large project is now almost impossible. I cannot see anything in this forum that relates to it. I am running Windows 7 an PP version 5.5.0. In addition my laptop version randomly shows 'pending' against different files - this changes to other files if I re-start. If I try to re-link it can also cause a hang.
One other change in my workflow. I have switched from a Canon 5D mark II to a mark III. But I can read and edit the files succesfully and play them in other applications, just as with the mark II. But even with the mark III I successfully imported my first batch of files about a month ago and had no problems whatsoever.
Any ideas?

Update
I have been researching this further. There is a possibility that this is related to the new container format in the 5D mark III. This camera now allows high or low compression .mov files to be created. In the mark II they were all low compression. The last batch that I created was high compression. It is possible that PP is having trouble with these. It still randomly rejects files and randomly reports some as being off-line, yet the next time I connect they are back on-line. I created a batch of 10 with low compression and they loaded correctly, but have not tested this with a large batch of real files. I am also checking with Canon to see what has changed.
If anyone has any further advice or experience I'd be grateful. In the meantime it seems that the only way I can safely process these files is to run them all through the media encode and convert them to mp4 or something similar.
Further update
I am gradually answering my own question here. For anyone with a Canon 5D mark III you might be interested.
First batch of footage shot on 5D mk III set to 1080P high compression. This caused PP and Media Encode (ME) to crash frequently. Even footage already loaded came back with an off-line message randomly.
Test set of footage shot on 5D mk II worked perfectly in the same project. There are no compression options on the mk II.
Could not convert original batch with ME so used MPEG Streamclip to convert the batch of 100+. Conversion worked first time. Import into PP worked perfectly.
Shot a test batch of 10 with the mk III in low compression and they all imported with no problems.
This points to an incompatibility between PP/ME and the new 5D mk III low compression format files. I'll report this as a bug to Adobe. I have already reported it to Canon.

In Premiere Pro CS5.5 AVI file imports audio only - no video.

I've got a file (one of 3) I've been given to create a smaller file (320x480) from.
The file is an avi file and plays (video and audio) just fine in the native Windows media player. (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) There are no issues of memory or HDisc space.
Video:
The file is 2:21:29 in length.
720x480
Data rate 1489kbps
Total bitrate 1617kbps
29 frames/second
Audio:
Bit rate 128kbps
Channels 2 (stereo)
Audio sample rate 48 kHz
The file is about 1.6Gb
This is one of 3 I recieved. The other two were of comparable specs and similar length (not exactly but one was longer, the other shorter.)
The problem is that this particular file (the other two import perfectly), when imported, only comes in as an audio file. No video imports. The other files import as audio and video. No error message either.
I've imported all kinds of video files in the past with different frame sizes, rates, and aspect ratios, and codecs, yet I've never had one that only imports the audio without the video.
Suggestions?!

Post in the Premiere Pro forum. This forum is for suite specific issues only.

Lookout 6.6 - Logon Error: Security file does not exist

I'm trying to run Lookout 6.6 evaluation. It loads fine, I get a message saying that it's running evaluation version. I press OK to clear that box and a logon window opens. It's filled in with the default settings, Administator, local doman, no password. I click Log On and it gives me the error which is in the subject line, security file does not exist.
I've read on here that the lookout.sec file doesn't exist in the System32 folder. In this case, I've found it and it's there.
I've trying different user names, I took the .sec file and copied it in various locations: windows folder, and the programs root folder - obviously there was no effect. I tried editing the lookout.ini file to remove the log on information to see if that clears it up (even deleted the file to see if that work), but to no avail. I also tried re-installing the program, but there is no uninstall button - windows program removal tool cannot even remove, modify, or repair the program. I ran the install a couple of times as well.
Does anyone know what I can do?
Here's what I'm running:
(I bought this computer today)
Windows 7 x64-bit Home Premium
4gb ram
500gb hard drive
It's very minimal, since all the computer is meant to do is run this program and replace the computer Lookout 5.0 was running on (mobo got fried).
- Please - let me know if you have any suggestions.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Mike! Thanks for replying!
I've just tried it in admin mode and it hasn't worked. I've also tried using compatability mode, but to no avail.
I downloaded the lookout 6.2 version to try and it gives me the same error as well.
Another thing to note, I tried uninstalling it (either lookout 6.6 or 6.2 doesn't matter), but all options it gives (modify, repair, and uninstall) are all greyed out.
Any thoughts/ideas?

I'm having trouble transfering bookmarks from Safari to Firefox. File, "Import" button is grayed out. I've gone through your trouble shooting, the database for imports is no longer current.

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have the latest version of Firefox 5.0. I'm over Apple's Safari, and I'd like to transfer my bookmarks into Firefox. I've gone through your help and support section and found an article that could help me. However, when I click File, the "import" button is grayed out. Which prevents me from importing bookmarks into your browser. So I drug the Firefox icon into the recycle bin, and hit empty trash, then re-downloaded the firefox software from your site, and it seemed to remember my old bookmarks from a year ago. The file, "import" button was still grayed out, so I couldn't update my entire new list of bookmarks onto your web browser.

How do you get canoscan lide 110 scanner to display in "file import" menu?

I have several older versions of Photoshop Elements running on various computers. In ALL of them, if you go to "File>Import" you see "Canoscan LIDE xx". when you choose it, there is a great scanning application that runs. On a newer computer, i had Photoshop CS5.5 installed. It only shows WIA under the import menu. The scanning software there is horrible. I tried installing the same scanner (lide 110) on an older computer running older photoshop elements and it showed up. i then installed a older version of the elements software on the new computer. Again, the scanner showed up. Not wanting to break licensing agreements, i just downloaded a brand new version of photoshop elements 12 and installed it. it only shows WIA in the file/import menu and not the scanner. therefore, i dont have the scanning software/application i need. without it, this version of elements is 100% useless to me. can someone please help me get my scanner to appear in the "file>import" menu? Yes, i do have the latest version of software downloaded from canon's website.

Hi,
I believe that this is where PC & MAC versions differ.
The PC version will "get from scanner" in the organizer but the MAC version has to "Import from scanner" in the editor. I don't know why they act differently.
It has been posted on this forum (can't find thread at the moment) a fix for the windows version of copying a module from a previous version if you had one. That is not an official fix.
If I find the link I'll post back.

File Import Error - Adobe Media Encoder, help!

I'm at a complete loss. AME worked very well for me for a long time and booting it up yesterday gave me a paralyzing error.
Upon trying to import an MOV, MP4, and later a WMV, I received the following error:
File Import Error
The file C:\Users\tj\Desktop\New folder\SH_GS_PeekPlay_DEMO_720.mp4 could not be imported. Could not open source file. Please check that file exists with correct permissions.
I've tried everything I can think of:
1. Moved the file off the server and onto my desktop.
2. Double checked file permissions (all of which I have)
3. Uninstalled AE and Premiere to try to get rid of Media Encoder.
4. Searched for a way to uninstall AME so I could put a fresh install (can't find how to do this)
5. Manually updated AME
6. Reboot (multiple times between these steps)
7. Contact customer support - no help thus far.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit with Adobe CC and AME 7.0.1.58

Tried that as well.
To rule everything out, I had the files placed:
1. On company internal server
2. External Harddrive connected through Firewire
3. Internal Hard Drive (with OS)
4. Internal secondary Hard Drive (data only)
5. On Desktop (technically 1st internal drive)
I have since fixed this by uninstalling every single Adobe application (including Flash and Air) and redownloading and installing each.

File importer detected an inconsistency in the file stucture of (file name). Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled.

I have duplicated a project to work on another computer. The project opens fine but when I import new footage/audio files I get this message. "File importer detected an inconsistency in the file stucture of (file name). Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled." Then I can't play my timeline and Premier Pro crashes. I have to force quit and restart my computer to continue working. What does this error really mean? How do you rectify?
Our workflow requires that we duplicate projects to make updates because we are frequently revising but need to keep original project unchanged and intact.

I have a similar issue and message , but occurs when I import AVI clips from OnLocation CS4 to Premier Pro CS4.
