Select list works for some users not for others

Apex 3.2, Oracle 10g
I have a page with a select list. (other select lists work fine) This view is a based on a view over a dblink with the chain being (public synonym -> dblink view -> dblink real view )
One user logs into the Apex app and the select list populates.
I log in to the app, either through the developer login or the app login, navigate to the same page and the select list does not populate.
What can cause this in Apex or is it a database issue.
Someone said it may be a rights issue, but I thought all Apex users appeared as the same 'user' to the database.
Miscellaneous points: The app authentication is via LDAP/OID and I can get the select list code work in SQL Developer.
Thanks,
Sam

not sure what you are asking
It is a "Select List"
The sql is
select x d, x r
from view
wher x is not null
order by 1
The view is a synonym in the application schema, points to a view on the same database instance (different user) which points to the real view via dblink to a different database instance.

Account field required for some users, not for others in URM when checking

I am running into a real show stopper. I have been working in our development database, and have tested checking in content multiple times with no problems. I recently turned it over to my users to begin testing and they can not even check in one document, because they receive an error stating that the account is required. I know just enough to be dangerous, so I am not quite sure how to solve this one. It makes no sense to me that on my check in screen, account is not required and yet on all of my users check in screens, not only is it required, but nothing they enter is accepted as a valid value, so they can't even get past it. I would just as soon not have account show up or be required, but have struggled with making that happen, since it is not a custom metadata field. It appears to be a delivered field used for security purposes? any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
One more thing that I noticed that may be helpful in diagnosing this is that my profile has no accounts, just #none,#all
whereas the user's profiles have a number of different accounts listed in their profile. Could this be part of the reason that they are forced to enter an account when checking in content and I am not?
If so, how can I get around this?

That´s a little strange behaviour becouse normally the account field is not required as default.
You could try a global rule setting the Account field not to be required with some IDOC.
But as you say you´re not using accounts anyway i´d suggest removing it from your server instance.
In the server\config\CONFIG.CFG file look for UseAccounts=true set it to false and the field won´t bother you anymore.

Fields are bold for some users, not bold for others.

I have a report in Crystal reports XI using BusinessObjects. One of my users is complaining that one of the fields is bold. But it's not set to bold in the report, and when I run the same report, called the same way, with the same data, the field is not bold. We had a note about printer drivers, and he ran through our help on that, but it didn't change anything.
The field is actually a subreport, but I looked at that, and it is a straight database field (SQL Server 2000, memo type), not a formula, and it is not set to bold anywhere in Crystal, at least not that I can see. And besides, it doesn't print bold for me. He saved to a pdf and sent it to me, and it is bold. I saved the same data report to a pdf and it is not bold.
Does anyone have any ideas for a direction I should look? I think I recall seeing this field bold at some time on my machine, which makes me think it has something to do with a difference in Windows between our two machines. But that's pretty vague.
Here is some additional information. It's not always the same field. Sometimes two fields in a report are bold. It happens for users with both IE6 and IE7, although it's also not happening for some of us with IE6. We can set our IE6 settings to the same, and it happens for one and not for another.

I'll ask about and check the Acrobat -- but we're using the ActiveX viewer -- so how does that matter? We've tried changing default printers before running the report, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. But... when I open the report to edit it, it does complain about me not having the printer that the report sees as a default, so it still may be related to printer drivers. I think that's a good direction to keep investigating.
I don't think the customer would like the entire report in bold, but that is an innovative solution!
I saw a post from about 6 months ago where it seemed like someone had the same problem, but there was no reply or solution. If I do figure it out (or if your help leads me in the right direction), I'll post the solution.
Thank you for the reply.

Flash Player Works for Some Users, Not Others

I have recently upgraded my home computers to Windows 7 (64 bit). My kids all have standard user accounts. I have installed Adobe Flash Player as an administrator. It works for me (administrator) and some of my kids (standard accounts) but not for all of my kids. As far as I can tell, the kids' accounts are identical, so I can't figure out why some of them can use Flash Player and some cannot on the same computers.
For the accounts where Flash Player does not work, we get a prompt to install the latest version (which, of course, is already installed). Even when I try to reinstall it (using my administrator password), the problem is not resolved. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, with no success.
I use both Windows Parental Controls and Windows Family Safety for my kids' accounts. All four kids have the same settings. I tried turning these off temporarily to see if that would make a difference but it did not.
I am baffled. Help!

Hi, very confusing, I agree. Here is a link to a thread that the poster found success.http://forums.adobe.com/message/2476140#2476140 (BruceTR)

10g Write back works for some users, not others

Dear Gurus,
I have a strange problem with the Write Back in my system. We use Write-back pretty extensively and have maybe 10-20 separate reports, updating a number of tables.
We have been using this system for almost a year with no problems - Myself (logging in as Administrator) and a member of the Business team, logging in as herself (a member of the Presentation Server Administrator Group).
We now require two more Business power-users to use our Write-back reports. I have added them to the Presentation Server Administrator group. However, when they try to enter values into ANY of the write-back reports, they get the following error;
An error occurred while writing to the server. Please check to make sure you have entered appropriate values. If the problem persists...
*State: HY000. Code 10058 [NQODBC]... A general error has occurred. [nQSERROR 27024] The EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement must specify a physical SQL statement to execute (HY000)*
SQL issued: EXECUTE PHYSICAL CONNECTION POOL "GL Oracle Data Warehouse Connection Pool"
I do not understand why the write back is working without error for my own user, the Admin user and a member of the business team who is in the Presentation Server Administrator group, but not for two new additions to that group.
I have checked that the Presentation Server Admin group is granted on the "Enable/Manage Write Back" privilege and on the Execute SQL privilege.
Any ideas what else I could check?
Thanks,
A.

Hey Amith,
Thanks for your quick reply! Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case. The system is pretty much wide open, apart from the Write pack privilege, which only the Presentation Server Administrator group has access to.
I'm having another of my Presentation Server Administrators who has been in the group forever try to use the write back.
There's no specific connection pool or database level permissions for write back, is there? And there's no specific permissions which need to be set on the xml template files?
Thanks,
A.

Quicktime working for some but not for others

Hello all,
I'm developing this website and it displays videos in quicktime format, but it's just not working for some people... It just won't play for some reason I just don't know 'cause I couldn't make the error happen to me and got no good help from others...
This is what's happening: @ www.thebrooklynbrothers.com/ clicking on "work, work and more work", then clicking on MEDIA and then FILM, it should display the QT movie and the user could play it, but for some reason it just shows up the QT logo and nothing more, as some people are telling me... could somebody check this out to see if it happens to you as well and tell me what could be the problem or any other details of the error so I can figure out what it is?
if you want to check a sample URL it loads from there, check this one: http://www.thebrooklynbrothers.com/new/portfolio/contentloader.php?file=cnneraq.mov&filetype=2
Thanks you so much for your time! ANY help would be greatly appreciated! I'm desperate right now!

I'm having a similar problem with videos uploaded onto my website. It all plays fine through Firefox and Internet Explorer on my other PC, but on this one (Win XP), I just get a blank page after it's finished loading. No video box or error mesage. Just lots of white space. I've checked all my settings, and have QT as my default player, but still nothing. Have also downloaded the latest QT updates. Is there something I'm missing in Windows or Internet Explorer? I don't have any problems with it on my Mac.
Thanks,
Lucy

CS2 Works for one user, not for another

A friend has started getting the dreded "An error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application."
I've found this problem listed a number of times in the forums, but none of them seem to have a solution.
He is on a Window 7Pro machine running 64-bit.
Reinstalling does not fix the problem and customer support will no longer help with a CS2 application.
He has compared the C:\Users\Username\AppData folders between the primary user and the others, but not clear which folder he should delete. Most reference a specific applicaiton (like InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop, etc) and this problem happens for every CS2 app.
He's considering backing up the whole disk, then delete the user's profile, and then re-create it, and then put back the documents, email, contacts, bookmarks, etc. That's a fair amount of trouble, but it should work.
Can anyone suggest an easier way?

Sorry, but even that is not guaranteed to work. CS2 is unsupported under Windows 7 and using it on a 64 bit machine adds a whole new level of complexity. It's time for your friend to upgrade. Troubleshooting this installation will be nothing but an excercise in futility.
It's also worth noting that CS2 is the earliest version eligible for upgrade pricing. You can save a few bucks along with free shipping on Amazon: http://amzn.to/h0SwTa
Your (and your friend's) call of course. But if really wants to stick with CS2 he should roll back to XP SP2. Anything later than that is a crapshoot.

Outgoing server works for one user not for other

Hi,
I just made a second user in Leopard. When logged in as the original user, the outgoing mail server works fine in Mail. When logged in as the new user, the outgoing mail server shows as 'offline' in Mail. In both cases the outgoing server is the same one.
As the new user i can only receive mail and not send any. I am pretty sure the account settings on both mail accounts r identical(Authentication, SSL etc.) (except for user specific identification of course)
Any advice/idea on what is wrong and what i can do to make the outgoing server work for both users?
Thx,
Brick

Yes I am certain the authentication is correct. When trying to send a message out Mail gives a message saying my "SMTP server does not support authentication".
When i open Mail preferences. The outgoing server is indicated as Offline.

Dump ASSIGN_TYPE_ILLEGAL_CAST in SAPLSDSD for 1 user, not for others

In a Unicode ECC 6.0 system (SAP_BASIS = SAPKB70013 and SAP_APPL = SAPKH60011) a user clicks the search help for a customer number field (Data Element = KUNNR) and the search help screen pops up. This search help popup opens on the Customers (general) tab.
Now without making any change in any field on this tab, the user clicks any other tabname and this results in a dump: ASSIGN_TYPE_ILLEGAL_CAST in ABAP program SAPLSD.
An other user and myself have tried to replicate this in the same system. We do not get the dump.
When I logon with the userid of the first user and debug, I can click whatever tab I want and it does not dump. As soon as I disable all breakpoints and press F8 (continue) I get the dump.
Anyone has a good hint?
Thanks.
Ger

This dump appears in program SAPLSDSD in include LSDSDF11 in routine PERSONAL_VALUES_CONVERT.
The dump indicates that the problematic statement is this:
ASSIGN align2-c(s_descr-intlen) TO <tmps> TYPE s_descr-inttype.
The field ALIGN2-C is defined as 255 type X
The field S_DESCR-INTLEN has the value 25.
The field S_DESCR-INTTYPE has the value 'C'.
So the program tries to assign 25 bytes of a hex field into a character type field symbol. In non-unicode this works, but is not accepted in unicode. This I can understand.
But why does it go to this routine for one user and not for 2 other users?
And why does it not go to this routine when the first user is running in debugging?

Custom Concurrent Program works under one user, not the other

Hi,
We created a custom concurrent program in our 12.1 Windows EBS environment. This is a "host" concurrent program which executes a cmd file on the host.
Using user A with responsibility X this program runs OK. Using user B with the same responsibilty X it does nothing. Request finishes completed, but it does nothing.
With user B, if I remove the .exe from the %XX_TOP%\bin directory it ends in error. When I remove the .cmd from %XX_TOP%\bin it ends completed succesfully.
User A and B have the same user preferences and the same profile option values at the user level.
Can someone tell me what more to check to solve this problem?
Thanks, Marco

No the concurrent program is not user-dependent. It starts with copying a file from one directory to another and then starting a sqlloader process. But even if I only put an echo in the cmd file, it is not started when executing with user B. The concurrent request logfile is empty (besides the usual lines about program name,start/stop timestamps, printing info,etc. in it).
I run the concurrent program under the same responsibility for both users.

Multi-row "Drag and Drop" works for some users, not others

      Background: We are working on Win7 SP1 clients, Project Prof. 2010, SP2
      A couple of users have reported that they cannot move ("drag") multiple selected rows in a task sheet, only a single row at a time. Other MS Project users around them (and myself) can move multiple rows with the "Drag"
feature. "Drag and Drop" is selected in the "Options/Advanced" section of both their local global template and the Enterprise Global.
     To my knowledge, the multiple row selections contain no collapsed summary tasks, in case that might be an issue.
     I'm suspecting some Windows setting is amiss on the offending clients, but wanted to see if anyone else had seen this behavior before in Project Prof. 2010.
     Thanks!

JAckson T. Cole, PMP, MCITP

    Thanks for the response, Shiva!
    User community is on MS Project 2010 (14.0.7011.1000) SP2, MSO (14.0.7128.1000)
    To reproduce the problem, MS Project user will select multiple task rows by selecting first row, then holding MB1, and "sliding" to the last row desired. The problem manifests itself by NOT turning the cursor into the "four-arrow cross"
after selection is accomplished. If only one row is selected, the ability to move that row alone is available.
     Again, only a couple of users (that have called me!) are seeing it. Their officemates are not having an issue.
     FYI ...

Web Services Returns Runbook Not Found For One User, Not for another

i am using Web Service to start runbooks. most users are successful. but one user gets an error "runbook not found". the IIS logs show identical requests to the web service, except for the different username. the user
is an administrator on the machine and is a member of the OrchestratorUsersGroup. is there some other group that the user should be a member of to run web services?

Maybe the user has deniad Access to the Runbook, check in Runbook Designer.

Keyboard works on some boot, not on others.

Macbook Pro a1278 with osx10.6.6. Sometimes when the system boots it will take a long time on the light blue screen. In this scenario the keyboard will work. Other times the computer will boot swiftly as expected and the keyboard will not work. Lights such as caps lock will work and the screen will brighten in response to key touches but will not post text to any space.

Problems with burned DVD in iDVD - Works in some players, not in others

Hi, I'm having a strange problem with a DVD I burned in iDVD.
I have a disc image that I made in iDVD and then burn the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders to a DVD.
I burned to a Memorex DVD+R.
The video pops up fine and plays on my computer after it burns, but if I eject the disc and try to re-insert it, the DVD preview says "Supported disc not found". It did this same thing when I tried it in my Macbook.
It works fine in my standard DVD player, but I also tried it on my Playstation 3 and it did not play.
A few things I am going to try is buring directly from iDVD instead of first making a disc image, and also using DVD-R, although I heard that DVD+R is generally a better format to use.
Someone also told me that DVD+R does not play on macs, which I question.
If anyone has any other suggestions or might know why this is happening, I would greatly appreciate it. It is an important project that needs to be done soon! Thanks.
Message was edited by: Nathan Edwards1

The disc image option is within iDVD: File > Save as Disc Image. If you switch to DVD map map mode you can drag your movie to a spot prior to the menu so that the movie plays automatically when put into the player. Under advanced, you can set the movie to loop.... otherwise I think it goes back to the menu when done playing. BTW, all DVDs MUST have a menu it is part of the DVD specification. It is just a matter of whether you see the menu. As far as exporting your project back to tape... you won't loose any quality and your audio, along with your video and any editing to each will export back to tape. However, a MP3 is not generally considered a higher quality file (although perhaps the recorder was closer to the source?). As a matter of fact, if you are editing your audio I strongly suggest using a file sampled at at least 16-bit/48Khz, AIFF (or WAV or anything lossless).
In regards to the slow burn speed: I agree that a slower burn speed is better than the fastest burn speed (due to error corrections ect). However, I would choose a middle of the road burn speed. If my choices are 4x, 6x, or 8x, I would choose 6x. If it is 2x, 4x, 6x, I would choose 4x. And yes, quality of blank media can effect the playback of a disc that played once just fine.

Sharepoint Foundation - search working for some users (or computers), but not others

Hi all,
We have doozy of a search problem with SharePoint Foundation 2010 that I'm hoping someone can help with.
We have an application that is listening on port 14197 and search is working just fine, but only for one or two users.
If I do a search while logged in using the account we set the application up with then the search works fine and it returns records as expected.
If I use a different account - one that has full control over the app, then the exact same search fails with the following message:
We did not find any results for 06BSL.
Suggestions:
Ensure words are spelled correctly.
Try using synonyms or related searches.
Try broadening your search by searching from a different site.
Additional resources:
Get additional search tips by visiting Search Help
If you cannot find a page that you know exists, contact your administrator.
We've done everything we can think of, including several procedures to create new search accounts, replace databases, etc.
Nothing has helped and all of the info we can find online is in relation to getting search working when it doesn't work at all. In our case it is working, but only for some users. We thought it might have been a permissions issue, but not matter
what permissions we seem to give to test accounts they still don't work. We've set up a test account, for example, that is a member of the 'application owners' group, but cannot produce any search results with it.
The SharePoint Foundation server is running on Windows 2008 Server Foundation, with a separate SBS 2003 DC.
Any help most appreciated.

Hi Alex, thanks for your response and apologies about the late reply - didn't realise someone had responded until now!
Agreed that this looks like a permissions issue, but we're stumped as to what it could be. The 'test' account displays this problem - if we try and search on 06BSL
we get no results, but it does appear that this account has full control over this document (see below).
Note that the 'Manage Permissions' page presents a comment 'This list item inherits permissions from its parent. (Customer QA & Product Management)' which is what we're
expecting.
The indexing schedule is set to 5 minutes.
Appreciate your help with this, as we've spent a huge amount of time on this problem but don't seem to be any closer to a resolution.
Cheers,
Damian
