Showing environment variables on the logon screen?

How can I show the OS environment variables of a user on the login page of an application. Things like OS, logged in user (this is the user logged in in the OS), screen resolution, browser etc... The logged in user is the most important data I want here...

How do I use a OS (Windows) Environment Variable in the source path of me ActionScript 3.0 settings

I'm sure this can be done as I know we used something similiar at my old work place, below is an image showing what I am attempting to do.
We used this to create more portable / shareable assets files which when symbols are linking to code, the code was very often in different directories on different machines.
So we had set up environment variables in the OS to point to source directories and then used these variables in the source paths.
As long as everyone had these variables set up then it would all work.
Anyone know the correct way to do this in Flash CC
Thanks in advance!

sinious the problem with doing that is that the changed path gets into the code repository as well, so you wind up with everyone going back and forth changing it to their own value, which is a hassle. If you use relative paths and a standard project setup, then it all "just works" without a problem.
For example, this is the setup I use:
.dev
     .thisProject
          .Flash1
               Flash1.as
               .Flash1
                    Flash1.xfl
               .view
                    .audioAssets
                    .customViews
          .SoundLib
               SoundLib.xfl
          SoundLib.swc
     .bin <swfs are output here
          .xml
     .core
          .control
          .model
          .service
          .view
We have a "base project" that you check out to start a new project (we do heaps of similar work), and the paths are already set up to be relative. Having each project point to its own copy of the core code allows for fine-grained control of which revision you're using--we've even pointed deliberately to old versions or branches on rare occasions.
The bin folder is actually shared with the website repository, which is in a different directory from the Flash source code (in the website, it has a different name). This allows the generated swfs to be easily updated and ensures that the latest XML is being used both for development and on the site.
The "thisProject" folder actually includes a Flash Builder workspace with all the standard shortcuts, etc., already set up. This is primarily because of how the "default path" works when you create a new Flash Pro project in FB. Because we output a level up from the workspace, we hack the .metadata folder every time, but that's a small change.

Unable to get the logon screen when i open the sapgui

Hi gurus,
I have recently installed SAP 4.7 R/3 enterprise with the necessary requirements and after installation i am unable to get the logon screen (i am just getting the navigation bar which cannot be accessd) when i start my sapgui logon.I am getting a message at the bottom of the screen program SAPMS380,i cannot find any client or userid or password screen so can anyone help me...i need the reply as quickly as possible.
Regards,
Arun

when you first install a system you'll notice that on Windows environment it takes too much to present the logon window because it needs to compile a lot of programs.
What's the status on SAP MMC?
Do you get or net the logon window? that's not clear on your message.
cheers

Portal Run time error after changing the logon screen

Hi all,
I am running an EP7 SP08 and I try to change the logon screen as described on:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/23/c0e240beb0702ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
I copied the 'com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak' file, renamed it to 'my.new.logon.par'. after that I extracted the file with winzip. I opened the directory 'PORTAL-INF\lib\' and there I extracted the file 'umelogonbase.jar' with winrar. I opened the file 'logonLabels_en.properties' and changed the entry 'xtit_WELCOME=Welcome' to 'xtit_WELCOME=blablabla'.
I repacked the umelogonbase.jar with winrar again and after that I repacked the 'my.new.logon.par' with winzip again.
Then I placed the par file back at '<J2EE_Engine_Instance>\j2ee\cluster\server<X>\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd' and changed the authscheme.xml with the new par file and changed the 'login.authschemes.definition.file' all described on the help.sap.com url mentioned above.
However, when I restart the portal and open the logon screen I see the error message:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
The exception was logged. Inform your system administrator..
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
The default trace shows the following message:
An error occured during authscheme computation.
[EXCEPTION]
com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.PortalComponentException: Error in init method
Component : my.new.logon.certlogon
Is there anyone who knows what goes wrong? The description on help.sap.com is very straightforward but still it doesn't work for me...
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Nico van der Linden...

Hi,
Check if you did the following steps pertaining to the authschemes.xml file:
--> Download the authschemes.xml to local drive. Rename the file to,say, authschemes_new.xml
--> In authschemes_new.xml, did you change <b>all</b> entries of com.sap.portal.runtime.logon with the name of modified logon par file?
-->Upload the authschemes_new.xml file using configtool; and, change the property login.authschemes.definition.file to authschemes_new.xml in configtool.
-->Finally,restart your portal. Hope it helps.

How to use Group Policy to remove the shutdown button on the logon screen

Environment: Shared use computers running Window 7 Professional and MS office Suite; Windows 2008 Standard server, Windows 7 EC Domain Policy and MS Office 2007 ADML Template downloaded from Microsoft. WIndows 7 Accounts OU.
I am in the process of developing a shared use computer lockdown policy for several Windows 7 computers that will made available in my client's computer lab. I need to use a group policy setting to remove the Shut Down button on
the logon screen of the Windows 7 client computers. I am editing the Windows 7 EC Domain Policy to user accounts in a Windows 7 Accounts OU that I created. I am using the Group Policy editor in the Group Policy Management Console.
Please let me know the best practice for accomplishing this using Group Policy editor.
Thanks.
P.S. I tried a setting recommended in the following link in the Windows 7 EC Domain Policy which did not seem to work.
http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/can-i-use-group-policy-to-display-or-remove-the-shut-down-button-on-the-logon-screen-.aspx

Hi Vernon,
I tried the group policy you mentioned (Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, and select Security Options, "Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without having to log on") and it worked on a Windows 7 client.
Thus you may need to check if the group policy you created is actually applied to clients.

Show Environment Variables

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how I can print out a list of all server environment variables using JSP's (similar to the $ENV output from Perl)? I want to know what environment variables and paths are available to class files when they are compiled.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes it shows up after restart of BIDS .
But during design time this is a bug I hope Microsoft fixes this bug in the future releases
Mudassar
It's not really a bug. Visual Studio loads the environment variables when starting up.
In future releases you use projects and parameters instead of environment variables, so the issue goes away ;)

Error while using selection option variable in the selection screen

Hi All,
I am facing an issue while using selection option variable in the selection screen for one of my reports.
Scenario: For the field "Region From" we need to have wild card logic () in tes selection screen, for example if we put "BE" in the selection screen for the field Region From then the query should be executed only for those "Region From" values which begin from "BE".
Approach: For the above requirement I have made a selection option variable for "Region From". This allows use wild card
But when the report is executed we get the following error:
"System error in program CL_RSR_REQUEST. Invalid filter on ETVRGNFR".
(ETVRGNFR is technical name of the info object Region From)
Though the report is executed it displays all the values for the field "Region From" irrespective of the selection given in the selection screen.
Please give suggestions / alternate solutions to crack this issue.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Priyanka.

I can't see the cursor on the logon screen with my MBP when using it in bright sunlight.

I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro with an anti glare screen. I am running Lion 10.7.3.
It is being used in bright sunlight in southern greece very sucessfully apart from the fact I cant see the cursor on the logon screen to select the user I want to log in as. .
Setting the cursor to a larger size using the universal access options works really well once I have logged in but at the moment I have to dash for the nearest shade to be able to see the screen to log in.
Any suggestions? A key sequence to swap between users on the logon screen would do (there are only two)

If you're using it in bright light, you may be getting sunlight through the back of the machine which can wash out the display. The Apple logo on the back of the lid is actually a cut-out that uses the systems back light to make it glow. Bright light (especially sunlight) can actually shine through the back. As the users in the login are typically in the middle of the display, this is the area most likely to be washed out as that is where the Apple logo is. You can try just putting your hand over the Apple logo on the back to block the sunlight when trying to log in.

CProjects - How to get the logon screen?

Hello!
I've started the cProjects Web-Dynpro Application in our future production system for the first time. The strange thing is that the logon screen doesn't appear (I've got "logged in" as Anonymous ), althougth in development system the logon screen appears and works!
I use the SICF-Path /default_host/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/cprojects; login procedure is in both systems 'Standard' with no logon data.
I appreciate any advice!
Regards
Wolfgang

Hi Neil!
In this case a SAP-user account was definied in the logon data section of the root SICF-node 'default_host'. This overruled the logon data configuration of the cprojects node. So check if a superior node of cprojects contains logon data!

Wolfgang

How can I pass environment variables to the child process?

How can I pass environment variables to the child process? This is what I tried and it didn't work.
     static public void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
          ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-cp", ".", "Child");
          Map<String, String> map = b.environment();
          map.put("custom.property", "my value");
             b.redirectErrorStream(true);
          Process p = b.start();
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
          String line = null;
          while (null != (line = reader.readLine())) {
               System.out.println(line);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("The value of custom.property is : " + System.getProperty("custom.property"));
     }and the result is:
The value of custom.property is : null

Complete test:
     static public void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
          ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-Dcustom.property=my property value", "-cp", ".", "Child");
          Map<String, String> map = b.environment();
          map.put("custom.property", "my environment value");
             b.redirectErrorStream(true);
          Process p = b.start();
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
          String line = null;
          while (null != (line = reader.readLine())) {
               System.out.println(line);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("Property value of custom.property is : " + System.getProperty("custom.property"));
          System.out.println("Environment value of custom.property is : " + System.getenv("custom.property"));
     }

Using environment variables in the JAR manifest

Hello,
I need to make a JAR which uses some third party libraries located in the file system, in a path referenced through a environment variable (named for example ENV_VAR). Without using the JAR the application may be started by running:
java -classpath %ENV_VAR%\lib\library1.jar;%ENV_VAR%\lib\library2.jar MyApplication
So what is the syntax to refer to environment variable inside the manifest?

I guess its not possible. If you look at the [Manifest specification|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jar/jar.html#JAR%20Manifest] there is nothing that inidcates that environment variables can be used. The classpath attribute is specified as follows:
The value of this attribute specifies the relative URLs of the extensions or libraries that this application or extension needs. URLs are separated by one or more spaces. The application or extension class loader uses the value of this attribute to construct its internal search path.
So actually, if it would be possible the ENV_VAR pathes must be set relative to your application .jar file.
Why not just use a batch that sets up your command line as in the example and runs your app?

How Do I Change The Logon Screen Background?

Hi...
I was wondering how to go about changing the logon screen background... You know... The screen background you see when you first boot the Mac and it's sitting at the logon window waiting to be logged on?
Thanks in advance!!

You can do this with OnyX: http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php
The image you want to use has to be in one of a few locations:
This button allows you to choose a replacement image for the background of the Login Window. By default, the application directs you to the folder containing the Desktop Pictures of Mac OS X (/Library/Desktop Pictures/...). You can choose another image but it must be accessible by all users, for example in the Public, Shared or Sites folder.
Formats accepted: PNG, JPEG, JPEG-2000, GIF, PSD, TIFF, TGA, BMP.
It's in the Parameters > Login tab.

The screen is black until it gets to the logon screen,

My sister has an Aluminium Macbook 2.0GHZ with 4GB RAM and when she turns the mac on the screen is black until it gets to the logon screen, there is no apple on the grey background with the whirling circle below it. Once the login screen is reached the screen is perfect with no issues.
Has anyone any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?

If not successful:
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How can I remove accessibility text and voice over from the logon screen?

Before I log on to my Mac, in the logon screen I get accessibility text and voice over features enabled all the time. I can remove them by pressing cmd + f5 several times until they're gone (while I'm still in the logon screen). I would like to remove them permanently so that they never appear in the logon screen.

Can you provide an example? I've been trying (for
example) "select translate(' test one', ascii(' '),
'X') from dual" with no luck.
Thank you.To replace space, you should query like this:
select translate(' test one', chr(32), 'X') from dual instead of select translate(' test one', ascii(' '), 'X') from dual Thanks,
