Single entry mode

Hi all
i have enabled single entry mode . That means i should see the tasks under MY timesheet instead of my work in PWA.
However for some plans this doesnt happen . the tasks apper under MY TASKS instead of MY TIMESHEET
what could be the problem

tanveer041989 --
Pardon me for bumping into this conversation.  When you use Single Entry Mode (SEM) with Project Server, this means that tasks will appear on both the Tasks page AND the Timesheet page in PWA for team members.  If you do not want team members to
use the Tasks page for entering progress, then I would recommend that your Project Server administrator hide the Tasks link in the Quick Launch Menu and the Tasks button in the Track Your Work carousel at the top of the Home page in PWA (assuming you are using
Project Server 2013).  This will restrict users to only the Timesheet page.
To answer your follow up question, you have two choices:
Delete the timesheet and then recreate it using the Manage Timesheets page.
Navigate to the Timesheet page for the selected time period. In the Timesheet ribbon, click the Add Row pick list button and select the Select from Existing Assignments item.  In the Add an Existing Task dialog, select the missing tasks and then click
the OK button.
I think you can see that the first option is by far the simplest.  Hope this additional information helps.

  • Single Entry Mode behavior

    We are currently testing the single entry mode, and we want to understand more about this model.
    During the testing, we found the timesheet entry impacts much on the project plan. For example,
    Supposed the start / end date for the assignment is from 10/1 to 10/20, but if the user starts report hours on 10/10, the end date may be shifted to 10/30 or other date. And sometime the end date may be shorten to an eailer date (e.g. 10/18).
    Is that any document describing the exact behavior on how the timesheet will impact the project plan (start/end date, work, remaining work etc.)
    in our organization, we enable "auto-approval" for timesheet and timesheet lines, that means no approval before the timesheet data is populated into the project plan.
    Can we archive the goal - the start / end date is never shifted due to the timesheet submission.
    Kevin Li

    Hi Kevin,
    In order to understand how the status updates (submitted with the timesheet in Single entry mode) are impacting the project plan you would need to look into the task types:
    http://www.epmcentral.com/msproject/tasktypes.php
    Depending on the task type the scheduling engine will behave differently.
    Some more details can be found on this thread:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/msonline/en-US/fb881661-bfda-4c0b-a3ad-a5770b28e116/what-are-the-differences-between-turn-in-final-timesheet-and-the-other-option-send-progress-for?forum=projectonline
    In my opinion you have two options:
    1. disconnect the task updates and timesheets and allow the team members to submit the % completed for updates. in this case they will need to submit timesheets and task updates.
    2. enable the "Require line approval before timesheet approval" so the task updates are approved before the timesheet manager/auto-approval kicks in. This can also be support by Rules for status updates where the task update can be automatically
    approved when, let's say, the Assignment Finish date is the same as published value. The rest of the updates can be reviewed by the PM and Approved/Rejected depending on the impact on the project plan.  Once all the task updates have been approved then
    the timesheet can be approved as well.</label>

  • Ibook left hanging! Got info from single user mode - can u translate?

    Hi, am panicking here so help really appreciated!
    Got my ibook, G3, 17" screen. It won't start up. It goes as far as the spinning circle of lines. Tried to get into single user mode (got Applejack there) but it ends up saying 'we are hanging here'.
    The lines previous to that include the following (don't know if any of this is useful as don't really understand it):
    nfs_mountroot failed: 9
    nfsboot: ntworking not initialised
    panic (cpu0): nfsbootinit failed with 6
    latest stock backtrace for cpu0:
    backtrace:...lots of numbers here...
    Proceeding back via exception chain:
    exception state:....lots of numbers here...
    Kernal Version:
    Darwin kernal version 7.90
    dates and release info here.....
    No debugger configured - dumping debug information
    MSR=00001030
    latest backtrace for cpu0:
    Backtrace:...
    ...and then it repeats most of that again until it says:
    panic: we are hanging here
    and I can't type anything. The cursor just sits.
    Have also tried disk utility when booted from cd. It tries to verify the disk but says:
    Catalog file entry not found for extent.
    The volume needs to be repaired.
    Volume check failed.
    Error: the underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
    1 volume checked
    0 HFS volumes verified
    1 volume failed verification
    And it says the same when I try and repair the disk. Do I need to erase the disk? I do back up regularly onto zip disks.
    Tried to reinstall system software but when you are prompted for a place to install it onto, there are no disks shown!
    How bad is it????

    Hi, Nikki.
    What happens if you try to start up in Safe Mode? This will take awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
    If this works you will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up, try to restart normally, and go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and repair permissions on the hard drive.
    Here are some links on kernel panics and what to do about them:

  • To mount a CD-ROM in Single User Mode.  How?

    Thank you for reading my question. 
    I need to run single user mode on my iMac because of a disk problem.  I would like to be able to mount the cd drive while I am in single user mode.  I would also like to be able to mount usb hard drives with confidence, so that I can copy off files from the internal hard drive. 
    I am in single user mode, which I get to by holding down Command-S on startup.  I can look at the disks that are attached to my computer by executing
    ls -l /dev/disk*
    However this appears to be adding disks.  I started with /dev/disk2 and /dev/disk2s1 etc which I understand are partitions on that external drive.  Now when I list /dev/disk* I have /dev/disk3 and a couple of partitions on those devs.  Is that normal?  Have I not unmounted disks properly?
    I have been using a directory that already exists as the mount point for my usb drives using
    mount -t hfs /dev/disk1 /cores
    which worked fine.  Alas the disk I mounted on that directory was too small.  Now I can't mount a disk on there.  Do I need to unmount or fix up that assignment? 
    If I were to create a directory in /Volumes is that advisable?  How do I make the root directory readable is that by using 'mount -uw'? 
    Thank you.  Please if you answer my question, try to be clear on what commands to use and why.  Bear in mind that other people will read this, and no one on the web seems able to write suggestions very clearly.  Maybe we can be the first!  If I have not been clear, please feel free to ask for clarification.  i am not a total unix newbie.  Rather in the 20 years since I was a sysadmin, my memory has faded. 
    Pete

    I think you need to post this in a different forum.  I think the Developer Forums would be the right choice.
    In any event from the little Unix I know you can't mount a removable device until it's connected which means you need to put a CD/DVD into the optical drive.  At that point if you enter 'df' you should see the device if it is mounted automatically (which I believe it does.)
    In single-user mode the entire drive is readable and all files accessible.  You are the 'root' user.  In order to put the system into write mode you must enter 'mount -uw /'.  Note the '/' at the end of the comnmand line.  That makes the entire system writeable.
    You do not need to create a directory in /Volumes.  When the CD/DVD is recognized an entry in /Volumes will appear unless the disc is unformatted.
    Now take some of the above with a grain of salt.  I'm certainly no Unix expert.

  • Jco Connection works on Single server mode, but not over network?

    Hello,
    Error - com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdException: 'XXXXXX' not properly defined! Unable to create Metadata connection for Dictionary Provider. Either the logical System Name 'XXXXXX' has not been properly defined in the System Landscape Directory, or you are not using a MsgServerDestination (AppServerDestinations are not permitted for Metadata connections
    This is the error at one of the remote machines. The JCo Connection works on the J2EE host system (while testing and pinging under the Single Server mode.)
    I believe this error will be rectified if I upgrade to SPS7, but we have certain other considerations that restrict us from doing that.
    Could someone please point out the exact location thats responsible for this if possible and maybe I could just upgrade that part and clear this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    you should consider three  things if your java instance is on network.
    1. SLD ( check if java instance is listed on SLD and test the connection from portal to SLD.
    2. You need an entry in the services files of both the Java and ABAP servers as such:
    sapms<SID>  3600/tcp
    Remember to always have a blank line at the bottom of the services file!
    3. try to add the certificate in portal.
    if you can provide with the exact error message it would be easy to help.
    Kind regards,
    vamsi.

  • Can't type in single user mode

    Hi,
    I am trying to fix a MacBook Air's hard drive and attempted to boot from single user mode to run fsck. However, when I get into single user mode I can't type a thing. No buttons on the keyboard work. I shut it down and tried doing it again but the same issue occurs. I tried again, this time connecting an Apple USB keyboard and it still wouldn't type. I booted from an external hard drive that had OS X on it and both the inbuilt and external USB keyboards worked absolutely fine.
    Does anyone know why I would be having this issue and how to rectify it?
    Cheers.

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.

  • Scrolling in single user mode

    how can i scroll windows in single user mode?

    Hi, if we're talking about the Single User Mode, there is no Window at all, it's like the old dumb Terminals...
    But you can read a log to possibly see some stuff that was logged...
    tail   - Print the last few entries in a log (or other text file). Useful to find out what happened to get you into this mess.
    Examples:
    tail /var/log/system.log
    print the last screenful of entries from the main system log.
    tail -1000 /var/log/system.log | more
    print the last 1000 entries from the main system log, using more to display them one screenful at a time (remember: in single-user mode, there's no way to scroll back like you can in a terminal window).

  • Data back up from Single User Mode

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my 700 MHz iBook, dual USB, with OS X 10.3.9.
    Unfortunately the OS doesn't start up because of "overlapped extent allocation" problem...
    I would like to re-install the complete OS but before doing it, I would like to back up some directories.
    Is it possible to save some data, by connecting an Ipod or some sort of external peripheral, from the Single User mode?
    If yes, how can I do it?
    Thank you in advance from your kind support.

    Before giving up the ghost check out these:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25770.
    Manually fix Overlapped Extent Allocation Errors without Disk Warrior
    Overlapped overlapped extent allocation errors can be the bane of any Mac user's existence. Often, these errors go unnoticed until the problem becomes visible: your Mac might refuse to boot, crash unexpected, or worse, critical data might disappear from the Finder. Disk Utility can detect, but not fix overlapped extent allocation errors, and certain third-party utilities, such as Alsoft Diskwarrior, can fix them, but generally without reporting the consequences.
    Overlapped extent allocation error occur when the file system thinks that two files are occupying the same area on the hard disk, hence overlapping on the same "inode," which is the structure which holds the location of the data blocks the file occupies, and also file permissions and flags.
    Clearing the "overlapped" or "overallocated" extent allocation essentially means that you'll have to lose some data, because the only way to remove the overlap is to delete the file that's occupying the inode. So, if you suspect, or find out, that the guilty file is a critical system file that resides in one of the hidden system directories such as /etc /var /usr/ or visible system directories such as /System or /Library, and you don't want to reinstall the whole OS (which might not fix the overlapped extent allocation anyway), it's good to have another disk available to copy the files back to your original disk if necessary: a second bootable hard drive or a firewire drive connected to your Mac when you remove the misbehaving file. Just make sure that when you copy the file back to your boot disk that the permissions are correct, so it's best to use the "ditto" command, so that all sticky bits, flags, and permissions are preserved.
    In case you didn't know, you don't have to boot from an install CD in order to check for overlapped extent allocations. All you need to do is restart your Mac, while holding down command + S to boot in "single-user mode."
    At the command prompt that appears, type:
    $ fsck -fy
    If you have an overlapped extent allocation, you'll see:
    "Overlapped Extent Allocation" (File 123456d)
    No matter how many times you run fsck -fy, you'll never be rid of the error.
    So, simply issue the following command:
    find / -inum 123456 -print
    Note the "d" was dropped, or any extra letter that appears after the inode number.
    The find will return a file name that matches with the inode number, and the path to that file. If you remove the file then the fsck will not return this error next time you run it.
    However, before you can delete the file(s) in single-user mode, you'll need to mount the file system. Type:
    $ mount -uw /
    When done, issue the "sync" command, and that will flush the write cache so that all pending writes are written from memory to the disk. Also, since most OS X 10.3 Macs use the HFS+ Journaled file system, it might be a good idea to disable the journal before booting into single-user mode by typing:
    $ sudo diskutil disableJournal /
    then re-enable it when done fixing the overlapped extents and rebooting normally:
    $ sudo diskutil enableJournal /

    If you own Disk Warrior then it should be able to repair a drive with overlapped extents.
    There are two backup utilities included in Unix - psync and rsync. You will find them in the /usr/bin/ directory. For documentation simply enter: man psync or man rsync. In order to write data while in single-user mode you need to issue the command: /sbin/mount/ -uw / (Note: there is a "space" between the "uw" and the "/".) To mount an external drive you will need to provide the mountpoint for it in place of the "/", e.g., "/Volumes/volname") without the quotes.

  • How do i repair my hard drive in single user mode when disk is full?

    Hi there Apple Community!
    I have an old Macbook Pro 17" with an upgraded 500GB harddrive and 4GB memory. I'm running Mac OSX Lion.
    Was hoping you could help me out.  THis is the situation:
    Long story short I spilt wine on my macbook and the screen went a bit blobby. Switched it off for a few days, removed the battery etc. etc. Opened it up cleaned out as much of the wine as possible, but unfortunately some of it came in behind the LCD, so now the screen has a nice red stain.  Obviously I'm not going to try to clean that out of the LCD. 
    My Macbook Pro still worked for a few days after that, but then my harddrive gave up.  I booted in the Recovery HD menu, verified the drive and I got the error "Keys out of order - This disk needs to be repaired, click Repair Disk." I attempted to repair the disk but got the error "Keys out of order - Disk Full Error - The volume could not be repaired".
    Unfortnately of this 500GB I only have about 7GB free on it, as I have a huge iPhoto and iTunes library. I did make a TIme Machine backup of my user directory, but not the system files.  I don't really want to do a clean install because:
    1) I'm paranoid that there's something I did not fully back up
    2) I don't want to have to download the whole Mac OSX Lion again. I should have made a USB bootable backup when I had the chance.  I don't have access to a broadband connection.
    What I feel are my viable options, are as follows:
    1) I did buy a replacement internal 500GB harddrive, so I can probably try to make an image of the hard drive to this new drive, but not sure how. I believe it's through the Disk Utility with the "New Image" option but not sure how to go from there.
    2) Start up in Single User Mode and delete some unnecessary files and re-attempt to run the fschk -fy utility again (I tried this earlier and got the same Disk Full Error).  - the problem with this is, I'm not familiar with the command line and have no clue how to delete files.  I don't know my way around Unix.
    3) I can also probably attempt to make a Ghost Image or Acronis Image of the failed drive to this new drive, but not sure if Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image will be able to read this HFS drive - I believe it's possible as it's a simple hard drive clone. 
    If you can guide me in the best option - probably there is a better solution than my proposed ones above, I appreciate any feedback and comments you might have!

    So I ended up copying my user folder to another harddrive. I managed to download the whole osx lion again, reinstalled, and recovered my home folder using this discussion:

  • Kernel panic on MacPro in Single-User mode after memtest.

    I've had about 7 kernel panics in about 7 days on a new MacPro. 2 gigs of RAM (Apple Installed). Fresh install of OSX (no user import). While going through the troubleshooting process I ran memtest in single user mode. Ran it all night no errors.
    So in the morning I typed ctrl-c and then exit (i think)... it seemed to start the process of booting and I got another kernal panic. I've actually done this three times now.
    I checked panic.log and all the error messages but 1 were the same. Including the ones I got in single-user mode (copied below).
    Should I be able to gracefully exit out of single-user mode without a kernel panic?
    Does this point to a RAM error even though memtest and AHD for that matter ran all night without finding anything?
    I'm all set to try again (taking careful notes this time) to see if I can reproduce but I was hoping for some feedback first.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Yes, your memory or memory slot, or memory seating is bad or off. "Uncorrectable Fbd memory error detected. ferr = 20000000 , nerr == 00000000, fErrFat = 20000000 nErrFat == 00000000"
    Clearly a memory related issue. It may also be that memtest doesn't know how to diagnose the new kind of memory and is reporting that back to the logs. Take it in to a service center to have all the boards replaced to make sure the issue isn't reproduceable with new memory. If it is, then I'd consider the slots on the logicboard a problem.

    Which keyboard layout you were using? German, French ... I suppose your layout is reset to the default: US and you are unable to find the "?" or "/" ...
    Please have a look into the keyboard viewer, to see how the layout of your keyboard is actually.

  • Want a single entry for alarms in the "AlarmsWindow"

    Hi,
    I have an alarm in Lookout that comes in fairly frequently.  This is normal for this alarm, it comes in and out of alarm by itself.  After the alarm clears itself it becomes blue (the unacknowledged color).  When the alarm goes back into alarm it is displayed in the "AlarmsWindow" on a new line.  So after getting this alarm eight times I will have 8 entries in my AlarmsWindow. 
    How can I make it so that I will only get a single entry in the AlarmsWindow per alarm?
    I have tried the following paramenters in the Lookout.ini file, but they don't seem to do anything.
    [Alarms]
    MostRecent=1
    OldAlarmsLimit=0
    I edited the file in my Lookout4 directory and then restart lookout.  I have also tried restarting all the the Lookout services...  with no lock
    Please help,
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply!...
    Actually, I'd prefer not to use auto acknowledge if it can be avoided... precisely for the reason you've mentioned.  (i.e. because it is a global thing...)  I don't want my other alarms to auto acknowledge. 
    Ideally  I would like there to be a way for there to be just a single entry for an alarm, where the time stamp would update whenever the alarm is active.
    The problem is that my customer has a pressure gauge that they monitor for low pressure... but at certain times of the day the pressure readings will bounce around the setpoint level for the low pressure alarm.  For example, if the pressure setpoint is 70 psi, then we might see a period of time where we get 100 alarms because during that time of the day the pressure fluctuates between 68 and 73 psi frequently.  All these alarms flood the "AlarmsWindow" making it hard to see other valid alarms.  So the customer would like to see just one alarm entry for ALL occurances of the pressure alarm.
    It sounds like the .ini file entries I mentioned should do just that, but when I try it nothing different happens...  is there something different I have to do to get those .ini entries to work?  Has anyone had success with thise .ini entries?
    please help... thanks!

  • I changed my wheel group properties to no access at top disk level.  I messed up, how can I change back in single user mode "command s" as I am now in Thailand and not able to access startup disks?

    I messed up, I changed my "Wheel group" properties to No Access ( or something other than the default) at the top level of my startup disk "Macintosh HD".   Now my computer won't start up, I just get the spinning wheel of death.    I also am in Thailand right now, so I cannot go to a Genius at an apple store, nor do I have startup disks available.
    So I was hoping there was a way to change back the properties of my disk (Volume) in single user mode (via Command +s) during startup, i.e. can I do a chmod command on the Macintosh HD listing under the Volume Directory.    Or where do i fix this?   Is it fixable without startup disks, etc...
    THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!!
    If you could also please let me know you have an answer, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!! 
    thanks so much

    Thomas,
    Thanks for the info on command-R, didn't know about that!!!
    Yes I changed the sharing "Wheel Group" permissions on my hard drive via Get Info.    But that's all I did.    And then most of the apps wouldn't respond with anything.    So not knowing I did something stupid, I decided to re-boot, and then nothing but the Wheel of Death at startup.
    I was trying to limit access to my computer on this network, changed my public folder settings, and then I thought why not the whole hard drive, but at that time I had no idea what the "Wheel Group" was... so I shouldn't have touched it, BUT IT DID ...... argggggg....
    I managed to go to an internet cafe & research the problem yesterday.    I used the command +s single mode to get in, and then did the necessary steps to mount the drive so I could make changes.   I basically did this:
    Boot into single-user mode (boot while holding down CMD-S)
    Follow the on-screen instructions to mount the file system as read-write (a fsck command followed by a mount command)
    Type the following: "chmod o+r /" followed by "chmod o+x /"
    Type "exit" to leave single user mode and complete the boot sequence.
    I found it at this link http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=416180
    It worked... thank God!!!   Well so far so good.   
    I was going to try my own fix by chmod on the Hard drive listed under Volumes directory, but that doesn't seem to match the info under Get Info Window.    So I just used the fix above.    I probably should now go and do "Disk Utility - repair permissions", however I am a little gun shy right now, so I will probably wait until I am back in the States so I can go to an Apple store if it messes up.   Right now I'm following the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" MOTTO...
    So Thomas I just wanted to say THANKS for replying so quickly, and I really appreciate your help!!!
    (yes I know I shouldn't have used my email addresses, but I WAS DESPERATE, but that's still no excuse)
    Hopefully maybe this thread will help someone else out in the future....
    Okay, thanks again!

  • Why can't I enter single user mode on my Mac Mini for an admin password reset?

    Hi,
    I recently created a new user account for my mac and deleted the old one, not realising that this was the only account with admin priveleges. As such, I no longer have access to administrator priveleges, and cannot grant them to my new user account.
    I have tried to boot in single user mode and recovery mode but neither command results in any reaction on the part of my computer.
    This thread follows on from a previous, unrelated disscussion:
    BDAqua: If you hold alt key at bootup do you see a lock in the middle?
    Yenots: No...what does this mean?
    BDAqua: If it did, it would mean Firmware Password Protection was enabled, which prevents booting in other modes, so that's not the problem, are you using a wired Mac KB, or Windows KB?
    Yenots: I'm using an 'Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad' [ http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB110B/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad-br itish ]
    If you find me here BDAqua, hit me with your knowledge!
    Any other contributions are welcome and, now we're under the right heading, will hopefully help other users who have encountered this problem.
    Thanks, Cristo

    Hi,
    Thanks for the link to MacPilot, and the sexy screenshot. I found an archived version for 10.4 on the koingosw website. That solves getting into single user/safe mode. Though I'd be interested to see whether sudo nvram boot-args="-s" will result in single user boot.
    As for creating administrator priveleges for my new user account, I've found a method which looks good:
         \single user mode\
         cmd-s
         \mount drive\
         mount -uw
         \open 'directory access'\
         lauchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectory.plist
         \list users\
         ls /Users
         \change password\
         dscl . passwd /Users/<username> <password>
    I think that this method intends that if I change the root users password I'll be changing the administrator password  (as root is the only user with administrator priveleges), and subsequently be able to change my new user accounts priveleges using 'netinfomanager'. But I'm not 100%. Could you give me your opinion on this?
    Furthermore, three keys 'L' 'O' and '(' aren't working on my keyboard, which means I can't try this until I find an intact keyboard to borrow. I was thinking maybe a mod version of the above instructions would work in terminal using sudo, so I could use the keyboard viewer to type the missing characters. If you have any ideas on constructing such a mod I would be interested to hear them.
    Otherwise, Thank You for your help BDAqua! And enjoy your summer wherever you are.
