System PATH environment variable issue when user log off and log in or switch from admin to non-admin account

Hi,
Problem Description:
After installing my new product version, when user does log-off and log in again into admin account
or switch from admin account to non-admin account, PATH environment variable shows incorrect path of my product (previous product version’s path) using command prompt.
It seems windows refresh issue during session changes (log off and log in / switch from Admin to
Non-admin account).
Why PATH environment variable is not refresh immediately after log off and log in again or Switch
from admin to non-admin mode?.
Please see my thread for more details http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/445ab42c-bdff-405a-8d53-558e1b6c7d34/path-environment-variable-issue-when-user-logoff-and-login-or-switch-from-admin-to-nonadmin?forum=windowsgeneraldevelopmentissues
Also submitted bug for this in connect.microsoft.com portal.In that it has lots of information
like problem statement, Reproduction steps and Expected Results.
Bug ID: 871782
Could you please any body help me for this?. your support will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Why PATH environment variable is not refresh immediately after log off and log in again or Switch
from admin to non-admin mode?.
I wouldn't have any expectation of what you are doing to work the way you expect. E.g. why is the %ABC% being replaced at all? There is some help about this ambiguous scenario in the cmd help...
/V:ON Enable delayed environment variable expansion using ! as the
delimiter. For example, /V:ON would allow !var! to expand the
variable var at execution time. The var syntax expands variables
at input time, which is quite a different thing when inside of a FOR
loop.
/V:OFF Disable delayed environment expansion.
So, what's the setting for the /V: switch that your users would be using? Perhaps you should be using the ! instead of the % for your ABC variable?
Oh. There's more below where I found that...
Delayed environment variable expansion is NOT enabled by default. You
can enable or disable delayed environment variable expansion for a
particular invocation of CMD.EXE with the /V:ON or /V:OFF switch. You
can enable or disable delayed expansion for all invocations of CMD.EXE on a
machine and/or user logon session by setting either or both of the
following REG_DWORD values in the registry using REGEDIT.EXE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\DelayedExpansion
and/or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\DelayedExpansion
to either 0x1 or 0x0. The user specific setting takes precedence over
the machine setting. The command line switches take precedence over the
registry settings.
In a batch file the SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION or DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
arguments takes precedence over the /V:ON or /V:OFF switch. See SETLOCAL /?
for details.
If delayed environment variable expansion is enabled, then the exclamation
character can be used to substitute the value of an environment variable
at execution time.
So, I guess the essence of your "bug" will boil down to whether you
need the feature to get the result you want and the
truth of that first sentence but it certainly looks like a "can of worms" to me. ; )

Launchd - can it run a script when users log in OR switch?

I'm hoping to find someone who knows all the gory details of launchd. Here's the why and what: I'm trying to coerce Aperture into letting two users on the same computer share the same Aperture Library, both able to import photos and see and use what the other has done. Initially it is no problem, change the permissions so everyone has read/write/execute, put the Library in a common area, and point both person's Aperture at it. The problem is that Aperture changes permissions of things inside the Library as you use it, and especially when one person imports, the other person can't see that stuff.
So I want to run a script whenever someone logs in or becomes the active user by fast user switching; the script will simply change ownership and permissions of the library and everything in it to restore full access.
After days of research and testing, I made a test launchd plist file (this is the configuration file or agent that launchd looks at and runs your script when criteria are met). It sits in /Library/LaunchAgents/, here it is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>org.jim.test</string>
<key>LimitLoadToSessionType</key>
<string>LoginWindow</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Library/Scripts/testscript.sh</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
<string>/Users/jim/Desktop/test.err</string>
<key>StandardOutPath</key>
<string>/Users/jim/Desktop/test.out</string>
</dict>
</plist>
The actual test script is sitting in /Library/Scripts/:
#!/bin/bash
echo "org.jim.test.plist was run at `date`"
So if the plist is loaded and the script run, the date and time are written in the test.out file on my desktop. This thing runs great when a user logs in. The problem is, it doesn't run when users switch by fast user switching. In reading the documentation, it was vague about this, whether that could be done; I thought it could.
Can anyone help with a way to get the script to run when any user takes control by any means? As an added complication, which I'll worry about later, the script has to run as root because it's the only way to get the ownership and permissions changed.
Thanks,
Jim

BobHarris is the MAN. ACLs seem to have worked. I put the Aperture Library in /Users/Shared/ApertureLibrary, restored the regular permissions as best I could (me as owner, staff as group, 755), pointed each person's Aperture to the library, then proceeded with the ACL magic. First I created a group for my wife and I, called 'aperture', in the Accounts preference pane. That was to simplify the ACLs (one entry instead of 2) and so that other users (son) aren't able to muck it up.
It took one stinking Terminal command (note that 'aperture' at the beginning of the quote is the group, not the program, folder or library):
chmod -R +a "aperture allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" ApertureLibrary.aplibrary
I was unsure whether this list of permissions was necessary or sufficient, but it seems to have worked so far. Both users can access the library. I imported a different picture by each user, and the other user could then see and delete the picture imported by the other. This was not possible before.
Bob, thanks for the great idea. After a little more testing I'll post a complete how-to in the latest "how do we share Aperture" thread, and give you due credit. The bad news is all the launchd fun is over

How can I set PATH environment variables when there is no ~/.profile?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Air and just installed MySQL.
I read the doc which I downloaded and should be able to run "mysql" from terminal as descibed below:
Suppose that your MySQL programs are installed in /usr/local/mysql/bin and that you want to make it easy to invoke these programs. To do this, set the value of the PATH environment variable to include that directory. For example, if your shell is bash, add the following line to your .bashrc file:
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin
I checked on my terminal with ls -al, but no ~/.bashrc also no ~/.profile files. Echo $SHELL shows me that I am using /bin/bash as shell.
When I run export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin then it works and I just have to type "mysql" to get the mysql command line but as soon as I kill my terminal and open a new terminal this setting is lost.
Any idea how I can accomplish this?
Thanks,
MacNewby

Hi,
Never mind, I found it :-)
I just created a file .bash_profile in my home folder and added "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin" and restarted my terninal. Now it works.

Issue where the cart is empty when user logs back in

Having issue where the cart is empty when user logs back in
Steps:
1. User logs into the site
2. User selects items and the cart is updated
3. User logs out of their account
4. User exits/closes the browsers
5. User then reopens the browser, navigates to the site, logs in and the cart is empty
My understanding is that the cart should be populated with the previous items since the user did not complete the order.
I have the following settings:
in shoppingcart.properties
persistOrdersForAnonymousUsers=true
persistOrders=true
in cookieManager.properties
sendProfileCookies=true
in /atg/userprofiling/ProfileRequestServlet.properties
verifyBasicAuthentication=true
in /atg/dynamo/servlet/dafpipeline/ProfileRequestServlet.properties
persistAfterLogout=true
persistentAnonymousProfiles=true
Anything else that needs to be set?
Edited by: boyd4715 on Feb 6, 2013 11:07 AM

I reset the properties back to their orignal state
in shoppingcart.properties
persistOrdersForAnonymousUsers=false
persistOrders=true
in cookieManager.properties
sendProfileCookies=true
in /atg/userprofiling/ProfileRequestServlet.properties
verifyBasicAuthentication=false
in /atg/dynamo/servlet/dafpipeline/ProfileRequestServlet.properties
persistAfterLogout=false
persistentAnonymousProfiles=false
in /atg/userprofiling/ProfileTools.properties
mergeOrder=false;
Observateion:
If an anonymous user comes to the site, adds items to the cart, leaves the site and comes back - the cart is empty - the order repository is not updated
If a user logs into the site, adds items to the cart and then exits the browser (does not log out), comes back to the site, the selected items are in the cart
If a usr logs into the site, adds items to the cart, logs out of the site, exits the browser, comes back to the site, the selected items are not in the cart
An order does not get presisted to the repository until the order is confirmed.
Based on the last item that explains why the user is not seeing any anything in their cart when they log out. If they do not log out, I assume then that the content of their cart is stored in the cookie.
So, now the question is - why is this happening - I am not the original author of the site - just trying to get some things fixed on it.

How to find the previous path environment variable in windows 2008

I am reconfiguring the Hyperion 11.1.2, and later, I installed the ODI. And them when I come back to reconfigure the Hyperion, it cannot be reconfigured, and say cannot find the path parameter. And I check the PATH environment variable, and find it is showing a dumy value, do we have a way to recover the previous PATH envirnment variable?

To get the source IP address, you will need to enable File Share auditing: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772690%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
Otherwise, you can simply disconnect the user session.

How to set the PATH Environment variable with multiple homes?

I have several Oracle homes, and now I cannot get reports to work anymore. These are the things I installed, in this order:
- Oracle Database 10g
- Oracle Developer Suite 10g
- Oracle Discoverer 4
- Oracle HTMLDB
Now my PATH environment variable is flooded with paths, but none seem to work when I want to start Reports 10g. I deleted all of the paths from the other homes and still no luck.
This was my original PATH:
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\jre\1.4.2\bin;
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin\classic;
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin;
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\compdb_1\jre\1.4.2\bin;
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\compdb_1\bin;
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\compdb_1\jre\1.1.8\bin;
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\compdb_1\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;
C:\Disco41Home\bin;C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\bin;
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin\client;C:\oradev10g\jlib;
C:\oradev10g\bin;

%SystemRoot%;
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files;
%SystemDrive%\IBMTOOLS\Python22;
C:\Program Files\PC-Doctor for Windows\services
and this is the PATH after I stripped it:
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin\classic;
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin;
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin\client;
C:\oradev10g\jre\1.1.8\bin;

PATH environment variable, Bash

I want to set a symlink to this path:
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/django-admin.py
I have tried myself & have failed the last two days. Does anyone have any suggestions on setting up a symlink to this path?
Also should I put it in my bashrc file or my .profile (file)? thanks.

Terminal, Unix, shell, etc... questions are best asked in the Mac OS X Technologies > Unix Forum
<http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735>
ln -s /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/django-admin.py /path/to/where/you/want/the/symlink/to/reside
A symlink is a file in the file system, so once you create it, it is going to stay until you delete it. No need to put this in .bashrc or .profile
Unless you were actually asking about a shell command alias, which is not to be confused with a Finder Alias, as a Finder Alias is more like an symlink, only different, than it is like a shell command alias.
A shell alias would be
alias fred='/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/django-admin.py'
and that you would ideally put in your .bashrc, but .bashrc is not invoked during login, unless you source it from your .profile (assuming you do not also have a .bash_profile, which would get invoked instead of .profile, as bash has rules explained in "man bash" about what initialization files it reads, and which ones it preferes.
As for the PATH environment variable, that would be exported from .profile (again keeping in mind the rules about .profile vs .bash_login vs .bash_profile).
It is unclear whether you want a symlink to django-admin.py, a command alias, or just to put /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/ in your PATH.
Please take any follow up discussions to the Unix forum.

Run shutdown oc4j instance automatically when user Turn off/Log off

Hi All,
Can you help me anyone to run the shutdown oc4j instance automatically when user Turn off/Log off the application or the computer?
I want to use any Schema level trigger if possible to solve the issue.
I am using oracle Developer Suite 10g and Database 10g as well.
Arif

Ah, sorry I misunderstood your question (probably not enough coffee in the morning); anyway there are folders for scripts which should be executed on startup / shutdown or logon / logoff:
Startup
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\StartupShutdown
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\ShutdownLogon
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\LogonLogoff
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\LogoffWrite a script to startup / shutdown your OC4J (probably calls to startinst.bat and stopinst.bat) and place them in the apropriate folders.
cheers

Unable to capture trace, when user logs in throuigh Web Interface

The Trace shows 'No Records Found', when user logs in through Web Interface of CRM. But there is Trace found, when the same user logs in through logon pad and carries out normal actvities.
sufficient auth. is provided.
Is there any setting in ST01, through which i can get trace , when user logs in through Web Interface
Regards

ST10 traces 1 instance only.
Your CRM web interface could use another instance than your backend. Go to transaction SM21, choose the appropriate server and run ST10 again.
Succes!

Multiple oracle homes on Windows and the "Path" environment variable

Hi There,
We have a windows 2003 database server that has few databases running oracle 10.2.0.3. We are installing oracle 11.2.0.1 on the box as well, and we were wondering, which binaries should come 1st in the path environment variable? and how does this effect the working oracle environment?
Going to the oracle home selector and swapping the 2 oracle homes around will have the same effect on the windows path variable - which will treat the 1st oracle home to be the default home - are there any general rules reg. multiple oracle homes on a server and the default home?
Should the earlier version of oracle always proceed the newer one (i.e. c:\oracle\product\10.2.0.3\bin;c:\oracle\product\11.2.0.1\bin) or should the newer oracle version comes 1st as newer oracle versions are usually backward compatible?
Your thoughts are highly appreciated.
Thanks

That isn't going to happen.
If you install 11.2 last it will appear in the PATH variable first
If you don't want that you need to Oracle Home Selector utility in the Installer to change it.
Obviously, as usual, all of this is documented.

How to trigger a custom code when user log in?

Hi my friends,
We are using multiple sharepoint sites at work. Users log in with AD accounts, so they dont see any login page.
I need to run a custom code when user login to website. Event receivers do not help at this point. Any suggestions?
thanks in advance

Hi Ahmet,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to trigger some custom code when users log in SharePoint.
As a solution, you could customize a login page for your SharePoint, then you could trigger your code.
You could also use httpmodule to monitor user login. Please refer to this article about how to use httpmodule:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/100976/get-the-current-logged-in-user-in-sharepoint-added-httpmodule

Issue when running acutal Off-cycle payroll in India!

Dear experts!
I have an urgent issue when running ACTUAL off-cycle payroll in India as below: "Payroll already performed once in future".
In testing mode, everything is fine. I have tried to check payroll result in pc_payresult and pu01, and Infotype 3. All of them show the last payroll in 31.07.2011. But now I run off-cycle payroll on 20.08.2011, this error is displayed. So I cannot run actual payroll for them.
Please help me! I am really appreciated.
Regards!
Woody.

Hello
Normally this error message reflects an inconsistency in the payroll
directory cluster, that you can view via RPUDIR00. What you can do to
restore the consistency is to run the report RPUDIR00 for this pernr
with the following parameters on the selection screen:
Payroll for country
Personnel number
Compare directory
Payroll results structure
detailed log
Save new directory             X          < this will write the new directory. If you want to test first, do not select this parameter.
Afterwards it should be possible to run payroll for this employee.
Thanks and Kind Regards
