See if a user has a record open

Hi all,
We have been caught out by two users editting the same form (BP/Quote etc) and of course losing the actions of one user as it isn't until they ty and update the form that they are told that it cannot be done due to another user.
Is it possible to see if a user has opened the form or has it in edit mode - at which ever point SAP locks the record so it can't be updated by anothe user?
We don't mind if its just a query that updates a search define that updates a UDF, as long as we can see that the record is open already - or is there an easy way we are not aware of?
Any help is much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Matthew

Matthew,
I understand that this can be frustrating at times but the whole purpose of a multi-user environment is the possiblity for multiple users to use the system at the same time. Transaction are no different as there could be different departments accessing the same transaction but it is the way SQL works that two people cannot edit the same transaction.
The first user who updates the transaction change the current values and the data on the screen of other user has already changed and thats why you get the message " Another user modified table ..."
Unfortunately there is nothing you could do about it for now.

How to see, if some user has done multiple login at the same time

Hi,
i'm looking for a tcode to see, if some user has done multiple login in a date-range.
Regards, Dieter

It is also dependent on your license type, as it is populated at logon - prior to any Z-coding option - which will cause a lockout if attempted an access that way.
I recently found a cool way to detect DB triggers and updates - very obscure...
However I also "move around" during support in projects and don't always want to kick myself out. I guess SAP can "work-it-out" from the various fields of the table to map the user behaviour.
Personally I dont believe that all of such information is appropriate for public domain, as all the SAP_ALLers out there combined with the types of authentication options are not always responsible with the information either.
Thankfully, SAP has added a "salt" to the password hashes now. They offer RZ11 login/password_downwards_compatibility as a workaround...
Take a look in your system!
Cheers,
Julius

How do I test to see if a user has access on a site?

I am completely new to PowerShell, but I have a requirement to build a PowerShell script that will run against a site, a set of sites or a web application. How do I add a check within my script to test if a user has rights on the site they are running it
on or not? Am clueless on how to test if the user has rights to a site....I basically am trying to test, then let them know that they do not have access on a site or not.
How can I get this done? Please help.

I now have this code which I think should do the trick, but I am getting an exception when i step through it. The $serverContext variable is always null. Does anyone know why I am getting this?
write-host "Please enter the url of the site collection"
$url = read-host
write-host "Please enter the username of the user"
$userName = read-host
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url)
$serverContext = [Microsoft.Office.Server.ServerContext]::GetContext($site)
$userProfileManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($serverContext)
$userProfile = $userProfileManager.GetUserProfile($userName)
$userLogin = $userProfile[[Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PropertyConstants]::AccountName].Value.ToString()
$webs = $site.AllWebs
foreach ($web in $webs)
$permissionInfo = $web.GetUserEffectivePermissionInfo($userLogin)
$roles = $permissionInfo.RoleAssignments
write-host "Now checking the permissions of the user " $userLogin " " "in the site " $web.Url
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $roles.Count; $i++)
$bRoles = $roles[$i].RoleDefinitionBindings
foreach ($roleDefinition in $bRoles)

write-host "The User " $userLogin " has direct permissions " $roleDefinition.Name
else
write-host "The User " $userLogin " has permissions " $roleDefinition.Name " given via " $roles[$i].Member.ToString()
Thanks for the help.

Which user has which forms open?

is it possible to find out which forms currently are open by which OS-user?
i'm looking for informations like in v$session view. here i see who is connected to a certain instance and how (ifweb90.exe,rwbuilder.exe).
i don't need to populate this information, it's just for the admins.

You can use the DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO package to set the spare columns in V$Session, but you'll have to add code to the forms to do this.

Is it possible to determine which user has opened a PDF on a network?

Hi Everyone.
We frequently have a situation where users open PDFs saved on the network with Acrobat, and then leave them open.
Then if other users need to edit the same PDF, they have no way of knowing the PDF is locked until they try to save and get this error:
"...The file may be read-only or another user may have it open... "
In this situation it would be useful to be able to interrogate the locked PDF to see which user has locked it open, and maybe to even force close the open session.
Does anyone know if any of this is possible?
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Andy

It's not something that Acrobat can show. File 'locks' in Acrobat are not controlled by the application as they are in programs such as Word or InDesign - which write a lockfile to the folder - instead we rely on the server OS to flag each file. Information on who is accessing a file on a network share is only available at operating system level via the machine which hosts the share (e.g. via a net session command).

How to check if the user has only the display authority of a message

hi,
How to check if the user has only the display authority of a message but does not have the change authority for a certain message?
Best regards,

hi blake
though i am an application consultant and for authorisation u need to have help of BASIS person if u r not the one but still i can guide u regarding the same,
Basically Authorization Management
Use
You can use the following authorization objects to control the authorizations for maintaining business partner data:
        Authorization objects for the Business Partner:
             B_BUPA_GRP
             B_BUPA_ATT
             B_BUPA_FDG
             B_BUPA_RLT
Authorization objects for relationships:
             B_BUPR_BZT
             B_BUPR_FDG
In addition, you can assign an authorization group to a business partner in the dialog. The authorization group controls which users may maintain data for this business partner.
You can also define authorizations for fields and field groups using the Business Data Toolset (BDT). Depending on the settings you have made, the system carries out the relevant authorization checks.
In the dialog in the SAP GUI, you can display an overview of the authorizations assigned to you by pressing the button Settings.
For more information on authorization management, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) of the Business Partner, as well as in the Developers Handbook for the BDT under Authorizations.
IntegrationAuthorization management for the Business Partner forms part of the SAP authorization concept.
Prerequisites
You have made the necessary settings in Customizing of the Business Partner under Basic Settings--> -Address Management.
Moving over
AS ABAP Authorization Concept
The ABAP authorization concept protects transactions, programs, and services in SAP systems from unauthorized access. On the basis of the authorization concept, the administrator assigns authorizations to the users that determine which actions a user can execute in the SAP system, after he or she has logged on to the system and authenticated himself or herself.
To access business objects or execute SAP transactions, a user requires corresponding authorizations, as business objects or transactions are protected by authorization objects. The authorizations represent instances of generic authorization objects and are defined depending on the activity and responsibilities of the employee. The authorizations are combined in an authorization profile that is associated with a role. The user administrators then assign the corresponding roles using the user master record, so that the user can use the appropriate transactions for his or her tasks.
Authorization Checks
To ensure that a user has the appropriate authorizations when he or she performs an action, users are subject to authorization checks.
The following actions are subject to authorization checks that are performed before the start of a program or table maintenance and which the SAP applications cannot avoid:
        Starting SAP transactions (authorization object S_TCODE)
        Starting reports (authorization object S_PROGRAM)
        Calling RFC function modules (authorization object S_RFC)
        Table maintenance with generic tools (S_TABU_DIS)
Checking at Program Level with AUTHORITY-CHECK
Applications use the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK, which is inserted in the source code of the program, to check whether users have the appropriate authorization and whether these authorizations are suitably defined; that is, whether the user administrator has assigned the values required for the fields by the programmer. In this way, you can also protect transactions that are called indirectly by other programs.
AUTHORITY-CHECK searches profiles specified in the user master record to see whether the user has authorization for the authorization object specified in the AUTHORITY-CHECK. If one of the authorizations found matches the required values, the check is successful.
Starting SAP Transactions
When a user starts a transaction, the system performs the following checks:
        The system checks in table TSTC whether the transaction code is valid and whether the system administrator has locked the transaction.
        The system then checks whether the user has authorization to start the transaction.
The SAP system performs the authorization checks every time a user starts a transaction from the menu or by entering a command. Indirectly called transactions are not included in this authorization check. For more complex transactions, which call other transactions, there are additional authorization checks.
             The authorization object S_TCODE (transaction start) contains the field TCD (transaction code). The user must have an authorization with a value for the selected transaction code.
             If an additional authorization is entered using transaction SE93 for the transaction to be started, the user also requires the suitable defined authorization object (TSTA, table TSTCA).
If you create a transaction in transaction SE93, you can assign an additional authorization to this transaction. This is useful, if you want to be able to protect a transaction with a separate authorization. If this is not the case, you should consider using other methods to protect the transaction (such as AUTHORITY-CHECK at program level).
        The system checks whether the transaction code is assigned an authorization object. If so, a check is made that the user has authorization for this authorization object.
The check is not performed in the following cases:
You have deactivated the check of the authorization objects for the transaction (with transaction SU24) using check indicators, that is, you have removed an authorization object entered using transaction SE93. You cannot deactivate the check for objects from the SAP NetWeaver and HR areas.
This can be useful, as a large number of authorization objects are often checked when transactions are executed, since the transaction calls other work areas in the background. In order for these checks to be executed successfully, the user in question must have the appropriate authorizations. This results in some users having more authorization than they strictly need. It also leads to an increased maintenance workload. You can therefore deactivate authorization checks of this type in a targeted manner using transaction SU24.
             You have globally deactivated authorization objects for all transactions with transaction SU24 or transaction SU25.
             So that the entries that you have made with transactions SU24 and SU25 become effective, you must set the profile parameter AUTH/NO_CHECK_IN_SOME_CASES to Y (using transaction RZ10).
All of the above checks must be successful so that the user can start the transaction. Otherwise, the transaction is not called and the system displays an appropriate message.
Starting Report Classes
You can perform additional authorization checks by assigning reports to authorization classes (using report RSCSAUTH). You can, for example, assign all PA* reports to an authorization class for PA (such as PAxxx). If a user wants to start a PA report, he or she requires the appropriate authorization to execute reports in this class.
We do not deliver any predefined report classes. You must decide yourself which reports you want to protect in this way. You can also enter the authorization classes for reports with the maintenance functions for report trees. This method provides a hierarchical approach for assigning authorizations for reports. You can, for example, assign an authorization class to a report node, meaning that all reports at this node automatically belong to this class. This means that you have a more transparent overview of the authorization classes to which the various reports are transported.
You must consider the following:
              After you have assigned reports to authorization classes or have changed assignments, you may have to adjust objects in your authorization concept (such as roles (activity groups), profiles, or user master records).
              There are certain system reports that you cannot assign to any authorization class. These include:
              RSRZLLG0
              STARTMEN (as of SAP R/3 4.0)
              Reports that are called using SUBMIT in a customer exit at logon (such as SUSR0001, ZXUSRU01).
              Authorization assignments for reports are overwritten during an upgrade. After an upgrade, you must therefore restore your customer-specific report authorizations.
Calling RFC Function Modules
When RFC function modules are called by an RFC client program or another system, an authorization check is performed for the authorization object S_RFC in the called system. This check uses the name of the function group to which the function module belongs. You can deactivate this check with parameter auth/rfc_authority_check.
Checking Assignment of Authorization Groups to Tables
You can also assign authorization groups to tables to avoid users accessing tables using general access tools (such as transaction SE16). A user requires not only authorization to execute the tool, but must also have authorization to be permitted to access tables with the relevant group assignments. For this case, we deliver tables with predefined assignments to authorization groups. The assignments are defined in table TDDAT; the checked authorization object is S_TABU_DIS.
You can assign a table to authorization group Z000. (Use transaction SM30 for table TDDAT) A user that wants to access this table must have authorization object S_TABU_DIS in his or her profile with the value Z000 in the field DICBERCLS (authorization group for ABAP Dictionary objects).

How to find out if a user has no more resource accounts?

I want to check to see if a user has no more resource accounts tied to it. The only resource account left is Lighthouse and nothing else.
Do you know how I do this?
Thanks

I was able to find disabled users using the below code. Does anyone know how I can find users who have only Lighthouse account and nothing else? I want to add this to the search criteria.
<Action id='0' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
<Argument name='op' value='queryObjectNames'/>
<Argument name='type' value='User'/>
<Argument name='single' value='false'/>
<Argument name='attributes'>
<map>
<s>lhdis</s>
<s>true</s>
</map>
</Argument>
</Action>

How to check if a user has a deferred task or not?

Right now, I use getView and then check for the deferred task as below
1)
<Action id='0' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
<Argument name='op' value='getView'/>
<Argument name='type' value='User'/>
<Argument name='id' value='$(accountId)'/>
</Action>
2)
<Transition to='Add Deferred Task'>
<isnull>
<ref>view.accounts[Lighthouse].properties.tasks[Task Name]</ref>
</isnull>
</Transition>
Is there a quicker way to combine both steps 1 and 2 into one step?

Here's my code
<Action id='0' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
<Argument name='op' value='queryObjectNames'/>
<Argument name='type' value='User'/>
<Argument name='single' value='true'/>
<Argument name='attributes'>
<map>
<s>accountId</s>
<ref>accountId</ref>
<s>deferredTaskDate</s>
<s>Task 123</s>
</map>
</Argument>
</Action>
So I'll pass in 2 parameters, the accountId and a task name. I want to see if this user has that particular task name or not.
In the WF trace, I see this
Argument attributes = {accountId=ABC, deferredTaskDate=Task 123}
queryResult is null because it could not find this user even though user ABC exists in IDM and has a deferred task named Task 123.
Is my code wrong and how do I use AttributeCondition in the queryObjectNames above?

Activity to determine if a user has a mailbox.

Hello,
I am writing this to see if anybody has been able to figure out how to do what i am trying to accomplish. I am working on a RB that builds user accounts and I have come across a problem i haven't been able to figure out. I have a process where i would like
to check to see if a user has a mailbox. I thought i could use the get-mailbox activity and filter if the sam account equals what is passed by the process. The problem is that doesnt seem to work and regardless of wether or not the user has an MB it taks the
route of the get mailbox returns a sucess. Can anybody let me in on what activity you used for this?

I was trying to figure out the same thing. I asked how our Exchange Admins would do this via PowerShell, and they would do it with
Get-Mailbox -Identity ACCOUNT
This would throw an error, if there was no mailbox. Well, it returns the SAM Account Name if the mailbox exists.
Knowing that, it is easy to accomplish this via Orchestrator:
Compare Values: Select "Identity" and "SAM Account Name" for comparison.
If the mailbox exists, "Comparison result from Compare Values equals true".

How to check if a user has a particular role in sql server

Is it possible to check to see if a user has a particular role in sql server? For instance, I need to check to see if the user logging in has wite ability to the database. Thanks in advance.

To answer your question from a Java-perspective, since this is a Java-forum: No.
The JDBC 3.0 specification does not state that the driver has to implement a user credential mechanism.
However, the DriverManager will throw an SQLException if user credentials are not met at all and the Connection should throw you a SQLException when trying to create or execute a statement that you are not alowed to do.

Access 2010 checking if a user has opened a zipped rather than expanded database

Is there a property or method that can be used to detect/ check if a user has opened a zipped copy of a database?
I distribute a zipped copy of a database and expect users to extract it before using it but some times a user simply opens the zipped copy and later encounters problems. I would like to display a message notifying the user that they must first expand the
zipped file before opening the database.

How to detect if a user has changed a record using a custom method?

I am in the process of developing a test case application using ADF JSF and a collection of Java objects that are not populated by a database.
Details of what I have developed so far can be found on this post:
how to create a new record using a custom method?
Is it possible to detect if a user has changed the value(s) of a record?
I have set the edit page up (as described in the other post) and this works fine, but how could I tell if the user has changed something on that record. This is what I would like to do, but am not sure how to achieve it or whether it is possible....
when the user puts a record in edit mode, take a copy of that record
then when the user presses save or exit to navigate away from the edit page do a comparison between the original values and the potentially changed ones
then depending on the outcome of the comparison call an appropriate action
Thanks in advance for your help
David

If you just want to know if the value has changed you can put it in a while loop and use shift registers to see if the value has changed.

The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
