Set system wide default mailto url

I'm trying to configure system wide settings in linux so any new user will apply for this settings.
I want register my zimbra server with mailto links.
I've found some information here:
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/general-questions/48547-how-control-mailto-selection-firefox.html
but this must be performed by the user and I want to be preconfigured.
I also tried to play with mimeTypes.rdf, but it seems that there's no system wide mimetypes file. is just created when users changes something.
how can I setup that setting system wide?

I've found a partial solution.
create an application file, for example '''/usr/share/applications/zimbra.desktop''' with this content:
[Desktop Entry]
Icon=mail-message-new
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;
Name=Zimbra
Comment=Zimbra
Exec=xdg-open https://my.zimbraserver.com/zimbra/?view=compose&to=%u
Type=Application
X-XFCE-MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;
then modify file '''/etc/gnome/defaults.list''', find and substitute '''x-scheme-handler/mailto''' with filename you just created:
''x-scheme-handler/mailto=zimbra.desktop''
the caveat is only works with unity, if you use another wm probably won't work

W2K8 & Win7 - Setting system-wide Trusted file locations not working

Win 2008 Network, Win 7 workstations.
RE: Setting system-wide trusted file locations
I have an application using Flash stored on a network location that accesses other files in the same location. This causes the security warning "The following local application... is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled..." I can add the location to the trusted sites in the Setting Manager and the warning goes away. It is not practical however to do this on every machine on the network. I have tried the FlashPlayerTrust directory and mms.cfg file and neither of these seem to work. Is there a trick to getting the FlashPlayerTrust directory to work properly. If I could get this working, I could create a script that copies this file to all machines on the network.
Any help you be greatly appreciated.

Hi Todd,
Can you please provide just a little more detail?
* When you say "accessess", what API is being used? Are the paths to the other files relative, file: URI http: URI, other?
* In the FlashPlayerTrust directory, are you using the same path notation as appears in the Settings Manager? What's a sample {filename}.{ext} being used?
Thanks!

Unable to save column as system wide default

Hi All,
I am in 11.1.1.1.6, I am trying to the save a column as system wide default in 11g but my changes are not getting saved or reflected?
This is what I did using the "weblogic" user name and password
1. Pulled a column EmpName in the criteria
2. Added an action link to that column, which points to another dashboard page Page1
3. Saved as system wide default by clicking on save as system wide default for "EmpName"
4. Restarted the presentation services.
Now when again logged in, and selected that column in my request, what I expect to see (when I run the request and go to results) is that navigtion applied on this column which will take me to the dashboard page Page1.
But this is not happening, What is that I am missing? Can anybody please let me know
Thanks,
Ronny

Thanks Deva for your reply, I don't have access to Oracle support, I'll have to go back to my client saying that this is a bug,
Can you please confirm that this bug which you mentioned is related to not being able to save the column properties as system wide default in obiee 11.1.1.1.6.0 version?
Also what i just found online is that this bug was fixed in 11.1.1.1.6.2? Can you please confirm this?
Thanks,
Ronny

System wide defaults !!

Hi all ,
in column Properties - column Format - save - "system wide defaults for tablename.columnName "
here what is the scope of the system ?
Is it dashboards group or perticular dashboard with its all pages/tabs or all dashboards related to subject area where same column is part of it ?
Thanks

From the documentation, page 75:
Saving Your Oracle BI Answers Column Property
Settings as the System-Wide Defaults
If your user ID has the appropriate permissions, you can save your settings in the Value Format tab,
the Column Format tab, and the Conditional Format tab of the Column Properties dialog box for use
as the system-wide defaults for this particular column, or for columns of this particular data type.
Anyone who uses this column or columns of this data type in subsequent requests will use the
settings in these tabs by default.

How remove saved system-wide default for a column

yesterday I saved a system-wide default for a column with a custom column heading and data format.
now, when I drag this column in a new analysis, obiee shows no column heading.
I've tried to save my custom default again or reset to column-default but with no results: the column heading is still empty.
How can I fix this problem?
thanks
Luc

Hello,
What OBI version are you using?
Enter some other custom name for the column (e.g. same as default one) and save it as system-wide. I guess, you have already tried, but...
1. Stop Presentation Services.
2. Go under web catalog in the file system and locate folder \root\system\metadata. This folder contains files storing subject area attributes, including system-wide settings. I the folder find 2 files named similar as the subject area which column you have modified (name will be in lowercase, spaces replaced with +). For example, for "SA System" subject area these files are named as "sa+system" and "sa+system.atr".
3. Backup these 2 files you have found (better whole presentation catalog).
4. Try one of the options:
Option 1: If you have another version of these files (in the backup or other environments) - try to replace them. There is a risk you will loose some other column settings (or inherit new).
Option 2: Modify the file without extension (it contains XML code inside): locate the string similar to your column name. Remove whole section ONLY for the column you have found between tags <sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat and </sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat>.
Below is sample code for column originally named as "Pager" under "User" folder in "SA System" subject area.
<sawsavedformat:metadata xmlns:sawsavedformat="com.siebel.analytics.web/savedformat/v1.1">
<sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormats>
<sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat xmlns:saw="com.siebel.analytics.web/report/v1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="sawsavedformat:regularColumnSavedFormat" columnName=""SA System"."User"."Pager"">
   <saw:displayFormat><saw:formatSpec suppress="suppress" wrapText="true" hAlign="left" vAlign="top"/></saw:displayFormat>
   <saw:tableHeading><saw:caption fmt="text"><saw:text>User</saw:text></saw:caption><saw:displayFormat/></saw:tableHeading>
   <saw:columnHeading><saw:displayFormat><saw:formatSpec/></saw:displayFormat><saw:caption fmt="text"><saw:text>Pager New</saw:text></saw:caption></saw:columnHeading>
</sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat>
</sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormats>
</sawsavedformat:metadata>
Option 3: Just remove these 2 files. Naturally, you will loose all the settings, not only one you like to get rid off.
5. Restart presentation services.
Hope, this helps.

Copy system-wide defaults between instances

Using Catalog Manager, which object(s) do I need to copy-paste between instances in order to preserve system-wide defaults?
If it's in the manual, I missed it. :(
-John

In catalog manager get to /system/metadata & copy the one with name of Subject area..
for ex: If you have formated a column under Subject Area A then the file would be stored as /system/metadata/A .......copy that file and use it.
Thanks.

Set system-wide Finder view preferences

I know that .DS_Store files are created in every directory I enter with the finder in Mac OS X, and that keeps track of the folder's metadata (including how is it being displayed). I also know that this command:
sudo find /Users/[USERNAME]/ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm -f {} \;
... will recursively delete all .DS_Store files insite the /Users/[USERNAME]/ folder.
Also, I know that when pressing CMD+J inside a finder window, selecting the configuration I want (40x40 icons, small-medium grid space, arrange by kind, text size 10px, show item info, show icon preview, background white) and selecting "use as defaults" will.. well, make it the default, and holding OPT will restore it to THAT default.
The thing is that, when I create a new folder, it doesn't take those parameters. And the folders that HAD .DS_Store files deleted keep that previous configuration, not the "default" one.
What can I do to set a system-wide, consistent finder look?
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.6.

Hi,
I think I remember a similar problem in Tiger yonks ago. I recall the solution was to make all the changes to the Finder whilst in an Admin account - this way the choices stick for all windows?
Worth a shot.

Urgent Assistance Needed: All Documents deleted after setting system-wide viewing preferences for Finder

I got myself into some trouble...
Following the guide here to force a default Folder view to sub folders: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/10488/system-wide-finder-view-preferenc es
Which is:
There is a simpler way.
In the Terminal, navigate to your $HOME directory: cd ~
Remove all the .DS_Store files:find ~ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm -f {} \;
Relaunch finder going to: Force Quit → Finder
Set your global preferences using ⌘J and press the Use as default button.
Now, every folder you open or create will have the new settings.
I now have the existing Folder structure in tact for Documents, but every single file is gone (in my entire Documents directory).
Naturally I'm thinking two things:
1) Oh no. I knew better than to go down this path without knowing exactly what I was doing.
2) How do I "get my files back..."
I'm not sure if they're just not viewable or if they were deleted. Essentially everything I've configured on the machine (From Apple login to mouse scroll reversal) has been undone. I don't have TimeMachine set up yet - I brought two remote hard drives to work today to get it done but they're both NTFS so I couldn't progress.
I'm reasonably technical but new to Mac.
Advice is greatly appreciated... I'm GREATLY distressed at the moment...
<Edited by Host>

Ok so "DS_Store files are used by Mac OS X to store folder specific metadata information." Supposedly they get recreated... except I didn't get a nice smooth transition of newly created invisible, instead every file on my machine is "gone."

Using /etc/bash.bashrc to set system-wide alias

Hi,
I would like to set some system-side aliases and from what I read /etc/bash.bashrc is the correct place to put them.
However, it seems that the root account doesn't load this file.
What is the correct way to define system-wide aliases?
Thanks.

To be more specific, the aliases are not visible when I use a login shell i.e. 'su -'.
According this explanation http://stefaanlippens.net/bashrc_and_others this is correct.
So, do I need to duplicate the aliases in /etc/profile so they are visible from login shells? Or there is a way to define system-wide aliases for
login and non-login shells?
Thx.

System wide default character set

Hi,
I moved to a new company few days ago where we use Tiger workstations and servers.
I've been trying to figure a way to set UTF8 as the default character set for a whole system, not just a user preference.
I suppose there is a way to do that, but I'm afraid I won't have more time to find it.
Any help is welcome.
thx fred

I've been trying to figure a way to set UTF8 as the default character set for a whole system, not just a user preference.
If you could explain exactly why you think you need to do that, someone might be able to help.
Generally speaking Unicode UTF-8 is what OS X uses by default for a lot of things. The exception would be the file system, which uses UTF-16 NFD. There is no way to change that.

Setting System-Wide Max Heap Size

We want to set the heap-size of Java-Plugin 1.5.0_14 for a company-wide rollout to a fixed size under Windows XP.
In deployment.config under C:\Winnt\Sun\Java\deployment I am giving this:
deployment.system.config=file:C:\\WINNT\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
In the respective deployment.properties I am giving
#deployment.properties
deployment.cache.max.size=50m
deployment.javapi.jre.1.5.0_14.args=-Xmx256m -Xms75m
While the cache-parameter is taking effect (visible in the Java Control Panel) there is no change in the Max Heap Size.
Any idea how this could be achieved?
Thank you
Michael

MaxHeapSize I determine with Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory()
Setting it manually in the javacpl via -Xmx works fine but....
Problem is that we do not want each user to open his Java Control Panel and set this value manually.
May be error prone and difficult to communicate in a scenario where you have hundreds of users in different locations, countries etc.
Should be possible to set this value once installing the Java Plugin
Thank You
Michael

System wide default configuration files?

I have six people using the computer, and I don't want to have to configure starting Wicd in the tray for each user or font configuration...
Is there a way to set up configuration files for new users like Ubuntu and all of the other "tweaked" distros do?

Doesn't matter where you copy the config files from, so long as they're valid and do what you want.
Whether configuring your user will give you ~/.config files that do what you want depends. For example, if there's an existing /etc/foo_config file, and you set up your ~/.foo_config file in a way that (whether you realize it or not) depends on the stuff in /etc/foo_config being the system default, and then you copy your ~/.foo_config file to /etc/foo_config (overwriting the old file), then no, it won't work. If you avoid mistakes like that, and end up with ~/.foo_config files that all on their own do what you want, then sure, it will work. (Just check their permissions after you copy them to /etc.)

Change the file set icons system wide

Hello,
I am trying to change all my .html, .js, .css file sets, system wide. Right now they are all the plain boring white with text. If I go into a folder they quickly appear with their more colorful Dreamweaver, photoshop, etc icon, but quickly jump back to the plain white, boring icon. I know how to change the files icons one by one, but obviously that could take a while.
Looking for an easy way to change my files system wide wothout screwing anything up. Recently came from a PC and loving my mac (never going back).
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Still no :o)
The only way around it, is to wrap your conc process that generates the etext output either with another program or if its an Oracle Report based program, in the after report trigger. That will get a handle on the generated file, easy enough cos you'll know the requestid, and then copy and rename it to the same or another location. We used to do this for a payments process in the Netherlands localization we ship.
