Sharing 2 folders, each from different Users, simultaneously

Hi,
I'm trying to share certain folders of two different users (on one computer) simultaneously, but am running into an error. I'm hoping someone here can help.
On our Mac Mini (10.4.11) there is a folder (in user account "A") that is shared with everyone in our studio. Each of them has a link to it on their Finder window sidebar so they connect to it effortlessly anytime. I just set up a second user account (user "B") on the Mini to share one of B's account's folders with only a few people here (It's some admin type stuff that not everyone should have access to.) I placed a similar link in the Finder sidebars of the few people who may access that folder.
I have tried the connections and each works fine individually, but I cannot seem to connect to both folders at the same time. If I am already connected to one of the folders, then trying to connect to the other one gives the error message "Mount Failed. Unable to mount the volume "<other user account>". I need it to work such that those people here who are allowed access to the admin files (in User B) can get to them without having to unmount the User A folder.
I'm guessing this is a permissions related issue, but I'm not sure, and despite having searched around a fair bit, I haven't found a solution.
Thank you in advance...

Thanks for the tip.
Oddly enough, I've got Sharepoints though I wasn't finding that I needed it for the basic sharing I was doing. However, I've set it up now and have shared the folders normally. Each folder is accessible, but again, not simultaneously. I am now looking into setting up Groups. I will try what you have recommended...
Hmm. I think I'm getting part way there, but certainly not all the way, since I'm still get the same result as my original post. Evidently I'm not getting something right:
What I've done in Sharepoints is made 2 new Groups, A and B. For Group A I've added (using SP's big + button) the User that has the folder everyone can get to. For Group B I've added the User whose folder everyone can get to plus the User whose folder one a few people should be able to get to.
Then, still in SP, over at the "Normal shares" tab, I clicked "Show File System Properties". For the folder everyone can get to, I've set the Group drop-down menu to Group A (and pressed "Update Share") For the folder only a few can get to, I've set the Group drop-down menu to Group B (and pressed "Update share"). Having done all this though, I'm still not able to (as a Group B user) get to both folders simultaneously.
Am I missing a step or setting somewhere?
Thanks,

Sharing & Managing iTunes libraries from different countries

Hi Everyone,
I would like some help on sharing and managing content from different iTunes libraries from two difference countries please.
I have:
1 x iPod and its library from the UK (and its UK Apple ID)
2 x iPhone 5's and their libraries from the US (and their US Apple ID's)
I appreciate there are restrictions due to each country's laws so what I want may not work, however, ideally I want it so I can have all three of our libraries in one iTunes library and then both my wife and I can choose which songs we want on our iPhones and iPods.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Any help much appreciated - cheers!

Thanks Guys.
What you said worked - cheers!
The only thing that didn't was transferring my UK music to USA iPhone. Unless you know otherwise, I assume because I paid for UK music in UK, trying to then play it on a USA iPhone won't work......or is there a workaround?
The fact I've paid for it legally in one country surely shouldn't be a problem playing it on a device?
Or should I create a brand new Apple ID and library - would that help?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Y2J,
The problem is much more likely to be the multiple Apple IDs than the multiple countries. Do not start yet one more.
If all the music is in one library located on your computer, but certain songs won't sync, pls post details of the problem and maybe someone here can help troubleshoot.

Copying a query from different user group

masters,
is it possible to copy a query from different user group?
if so please tell me how
thnks!

The query made from SQVI is only intended for individual use. It cannot be transported and there is no concept of Global/Standard area. To be able to transport or share the query to other users is by converting it to SAP Query wherein the source of data will also be converted to an Infoset. Remember that is done in the Standard query area. To do this, go to SQVI-> click SAP Query then go to menu Query -> Convert Quickviews... Select your Quickview queries and provide and infoset name.

How can I consolidate all photos from different users on one computer?

We just enable one computer to be the "Family" computer. I want to be able to consolidate all photos from the different users into one location. That way no matter wich user is login they can see and browse all the family photos. How can I do that? Do I need and external drive?
Thanks in advance?

Move the iPhoto Library to the Users/Shared folder, or you can use an external disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Merge the Libraries as Larry says, with the paid version of Library Manager.
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Each account will have full access to the library, in fact, each account will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Sharing iMove Projects Libraries with different users on the same machine

I was wonder how two different users on the same machine can
share project libraries. Some Context:
My daughter has some finished projects in her project library and
I either want to import those project into my library or share them
so both user accounts can access the projects (similar to how the
event library is accessible)
Note: I've already moving the project library to a shared disk (the one
the event library is on) with no luck
Using iMove 09
tia...

You need to move each project to the external drive from within iMovie. Be sure to use command-drag so you move, not copy.

Table Maintenance Generator - Lock of entries from different user

Hi there,
It looks like that there are a lot of threads about table maintenance generators, but none related with this one. The case is when I created a customer table Ztable and using table maintenace generator to get the Tcode Ztcode. My questions is how can 2 different user at the same time running this Ztocde without locking with each other?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
From what I know it can be done through customer ABAP program transaction code but not from Table maintenance generator generated Tcode.
Any suggestion?

BSP data from different user mixed up

Hello,
Our stateful BSP application is called from the portal. How can it be possible that two different users at two different locations with different session id's can see information from the other person?
Best regards
Sander

Hi Sander,
this can happen if you enable server cache. One user calls the page with his relevant information, then the page is cached and each other user who calls the same page gets the cached one instead of his own page.
Please have a look at the "Properties" tab of your page and check that the Cache is set to 0 sec.

Deleting roles from multiple users simultaneously

I need to delete all of the roles from multiple users and I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to do it simultaneously other than a Mercury script(it wont take the roles away that are lower than the initial 20)?

Hi there,
there could be easier ways to do it, but this is how I'd go about it if I didn't want to go to each user ID.
Get a list of all roles assigned to your users you want to restrict from SUIM (display the list of users via tcode S_BCE_68001400). Click on the 'roles' button and it will pull up a list of all the roles assigned to those users. Extract and save that).
Filter the list so you have only one entry of each role name.
Then go to SU10, enter in all your user IDs to change and go to the role tab, enter the unique list and put wide dates on it say from 01.01.1995 - 31.12.9999 (you want them earlier than the earliest role 'valid from' date and later than the latest role 'valid to' assignment).
Click the 'Remove' box and save and you should have all roles removed.
Good luck with it.
Cheers,
Dianne

How to compare index names and columns from different user?

I am using below query to compare two indexes from 2 different users but even though index name and columns are same... result shows me they are different.. what I am doing wrong? Thanks
WITH t AS
        (SELECT COUNT (DISTINCT index_owner || index_name || indexed_cols)
                   cnt
           FROM ( SELECT index_owner,
                          index_name,

       END
          commnt

Result:
Indexes are different
but Actually if you check below they are same After when I run this query:
SELECT index_owner,
         index_name,
         listagg (column_name, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY column_position)
            indexed_cols

GROUP BY index_owner, index_name;
Result:
Index_owner
Index_name
Index_cols
USER1
XPKTBL_A
FIELD_A1
USER2

So index_owner is 'USER1' in one case, and 'USER2' in the other; right?
A string that starts with 'USER1' will be distinct from a string that starts with 'USER2', no matter what the rest of the string contains. Maybe you don't want to compare the owners, or maybe you meant to use some other column (such as table_name) instead of index_owner).
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX and CONNECT statements), and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Copy user attribute from different user to user currently being edited

Dear all,
I'm somehow stuck with a requirement I've to implement.
I've to copy some user attributes from one user to another. I learned that I should be able to use "getResourceObject" for
this and I tried to implement this in my user form:
<Field name='otherUser_actvtGrps'>
<Display class='Text'>
<Property name='title' value='otherUser_actvtGrps'/>
</Display>
<Default>
<set name='otheruser'>
<invoke name='getResourceObject' class='com.waveset.ui.FormUtil'>
<select>
<ref>context</ref>
<ref>:display.session</ref>
</select>
<s>SAP_System_A</s> 
<s>User</s>
<s>TemplateUser</s> 
<null/>
</invoke>
<ref>otheruser.user.attributes.activityGroups</ref> 
</set>
</Default>
</Field>
But this does not return anything..
Any ideas what I did wrong ?
Many many thanks for any help/ideas !
Best regards
Joerg

Do you know where to get some docs about the topics you mentioned ?
1. Your adapter might not to support Resource Objects of type User.ResourceReference manual, the "Resource Object Management" section in each adapter chapter. Also the resource description in XML has the ObjectTypes section, for example, for Active Directory adapters:
<ObjectTypes>
    <ObjectType name="Group" nameKey="UI_RESOURCE_OBJECT_TYPE_GROUP" icon="group">
      <ObjectClasses operator="AND">
        <ObjectClass name="Group"/>
      </ObjectClasses>
      <ObjectFeatures>
        <ObjectFeature name="create"/>
        <ObjectFeature name="update"/>
        <ObjectFeature name="delete"/>
      </ObjectFeatures>
      <ObjectAttributes idAttr="distinguishedName" displayNameAttr="samAccountName" descriptionAttr="description" objectClassAttr="objectclass">
        <ObjectAttribute name="cn" type="string"/>
        <ObjectAttribute name="sAMAccountName" type="string"/>
2. You can fetch the complete user view with all resource account information.You will find many examples in IdM XPRESS samples.
Get user view using LighthouseContext and user accountId
<invoke name='getView'>
<invoke name='getLighthouseContext'>
    <ref>WF_CONTEXT</ref>
</invoke>
<concat>
    <s>UserViewer:</s>
    <ref>accountId</ref>
</concat>
<Map>
</Map>
</invoke>Or with WorkflowServices (see BusinessAdministration manual):
<Action id='0' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
<Argument name='op' value='getView'/>
<Argument name='viewId'>
    <concat>
      <s>User:</s>
      <ref>accountId</ref>
    </concat>
</Argument>
<Return from='view' to='user'/>
</Action>
3. You can fetch resource account info directly using ResourceAdapter API (not too well documented way).Example in Java:
    LighthouseContext ctx = <get context here>;
    // Get resource object
    Resource res = (Resource) ctx.getObject(Type.RESOURCE, <resource name>);
    // Pack resource and user accountId into a ResourceInfo object
    WSUser user = new WSUser();
    ResourceInfo info = new ResourceInfo();
    info.setAccountId(accountId);
    info.setResource(res);
    info.setAttributes(null);
    user.setResourceInfo(new ResourceInfo[] {info});
    // Rertrieve ResourceAdapter object
    ResourceAdapter ra = ResourceOp.findAdapter(res, res.getCache());
    // Get account info into the 'user' object
    WSUser result = ra.getUser(user);
    // Now you can get account status from ResourceInfo ...
    info = result.getResourceInfo(res);
    // ... and account attributes from WSAttributes
    WSAttributes attributes = result.getWSAttributes();

Restore mailbox from different user

Hi
I got a new Mac. For some reasons I decided to start with a fresh Useraccount. For the most applications I was able to restore settings and mire from the former time machine backup of the old computer. But with Mail it doesn't work. It's not enough to restore user/library/applications support/mail...... . It's also not working to open mail, choose time machine backup from another disk. As it is a different user I can not restore anything.
How do I restore Mailbox from an other user properly?

How do I access time machine from different user account

Hi there.
Last week I had to take my comupter into the local Apple Store because I was having problems with Boot Camp. The genius at the store had to delete everything from my hard drive and reinstall it from my external hard drive. As part of the process she created a "Apple" user account. I now want to restore some files (unrelated to this Boot Camp story) from my time machine archive. However, all the files prior to this Apple Store encounter are red -- and it says I do not have permission to view them. When I click "get info" it says that the "Apple" account has the read/write access to them and the option to unlock them is greyed out. How can I get these files from the archive and get them onto my main user account where they belong? The "Apple" account does not have a password so I think I can easily log on as that account, but I don't know where to go from there.
PS The files in question are iTunes libraries.
Thanks for your help.

Ok, I fixed it. Here's what I did.
I logged into my computer under the Apple account. Then I went into Time Machine. I found my old files under Users-->"my main account". I was able to restore those files to Users-->Shared. Then I was able to log back into "my main account" and retrieve the files from the shared folder. It worked! Hope this helps someone else some time!

Sharing two iTunes Libraries for different user accounts on one Mac

How can I upload or share my wife's iTunes library? She is listed as a different end user on the same Mac as I use but we have different libraries. If I sync my iphone to her account, will it erase my existing applications and downloaded songs? Also, she only uses the iTouch. And yes, I have a mobile me account if that matters. (The $99 package)

How do I prevent sharing a text file by different users

Hello,
I am using LV8.6.1 and writing this application that read and write to a text file. The application is being used by many users at different sites and I want to prevent writing to the text file when other user is already using it (reading or writing to it). The other user should only be able to use it when it's not being read or getting written.
Any suggestions? I know LV file function 'Set Permissions' won't work. I need a file attribute that tells that the file is open, so don't use it.

I think the only real obtion is one I've seen some other programs use.
Create a lock file in the same directory.
1. You want to open myfile.txt.
2. Your program looks to see if myfile.lck is present. (Same filename, just the extension is different)
3. If it is present, you don't open the file or you give a warning.
4. If it is not present, you create a myfile.lck file. It could be a small text file. Perhaps you place in it the user name of the person who is opening the file.
5. When your VI is done with the file and "closes" it, your VI deletes the myfile.lck file.
So the presence of the myfile.lck file indicates the file is being used.
The absence of the myfile.lck indicates the file is available to be used.
The only risk is if somehow the person who "takes out" the file somehow ends their application unexpectedly and the .lck file doesn't get deleted even though they are done. You would need to manually go in and delete the .lck file. But username data in the .lck could help determine who had the file last and you could confirm if they are really using it or not. Putting the filedate in the warning information would help determine if it was a recent lock, or an old lock that is likely stale.
