System-wide installation of SDK extensions possible?

Hi all,
did any of you ever try to install SDK extensions in a way that they are available to all users of the same machine?
By default, SDK extensions installed on a client PC are only available to the installing user. The SDK documentation states: "The components are stored under <user home directory>\Analysis-config."
One of our clients has the following scenario:
A big development machine where Design Studio is installed is accessed remotely by different users using separate user accounts. Although SDK extensions are installed on the BI Platform where development takes place, each user has to install the same extensions separately on the development machine in order to be able to change applications on the BI Platform. I suppose this is due to the fact that you should be able to run the applications locally (play button in Design Studio) and therefore need a working setup on the client machine.
The question is if there is a way to make the extensions available to all users in one installation step - maybe by running Design Studio as system administrator?
Many thanks!
Daniel

I have a thought, although not a fully formed solution. You might be able to leverage some Windows functionality to copy the files for you. I'm not a Windows expert, and haven't messed with Active Directory for several years now, but I suspect you might be able to use Windows policies to copy the files to the directory the first time a new user logs on to the machine. It may be possible to set something up for users who have already logged into the machine, but I don't know off the top of my head.
You may be able to drop the Analysis-config directory into the Default directory under Users. I'm not sure if this will be copied to new profiles, but I believe it will. I also don't know if the contents of Analysis-config have any values that are specific to a given user, but it might work. It also might cause issues with the server, so no warranties on this approach.

EEW customizing for system-wide object extension

Hello.
We are trying to enhance BUPA object through easy enhancement tool. We
customized EEW via EEWC transaction and we created a RFC connection to
let central system (CRM) and target system (R/3 system) to communicate
each other.
After these steps we launch EEWB transaction from CRM system by doing
the following steps:
1.We created a new project
2.We created a new extension for BUPA object, and type of
extension: Add new fields
3.At this moment Wizard is started.
4.We enter the name, enter the technical properties .
The problem appears when we try to enter SYSTEM RELEVANCE, we can´t
state in which other systems the fields of the CI Include are relevant
because only column Relevant for BW appears, and we want
enter Relevant for R/3. However the transport requests are created
system-wide what shows that the two systems are communicated.
Nevertheless, no objects are extended in the target system although the
extension is executed properly in CRM.
Could you please tell us what is due to?
Thanks in advance

Carmen,
Have you defined the R/3 system landscape in transaction EEWC. In order to define a field as R/3 relevant the corresponding R/3 systems need to be defined in the EEWC setup. However EEWB does not work with R/3 backends lower than 4.7 from past experience. If the R/3 system does not have the packages or function groups that start with OXT. You must have at least 4.7 or higher in order to use the auto-generation features for R/3.
You must also make sure you perform the post-processing steps described in the EEWB documentation(in the standard CRM help) in order to make sure the processing fully works.
Good luck,
Stephen

System-wide alarm in iPhone SDK

Is there an equivalent of CalAlarm class in the iPhone SDK? Does anyone know how else we can set a system-wide alarm?

Until push notification is added to the SDK, you cannot set a system-wide alarm.

System-wide lag spikes. Possible reasons?

Hi!
I have been having issues with my iMac for quite some time now and i have never really succeeded to figure out what might be causing it. The profromance of my iMac on regular basis is outstanding as I would expect it to be. How ever, every once in a while i would get an system-wide "lag spike". Everything would frzee for a second or two and the rainbow loading circle pointer would appear. During that time i cannot do absolutely anything besides move the mouse pointer.
This issue, I believe, started to take place after i replaced my HDD with SSDs. I have two raided OCZ Aggility 3 drives. I use the iMacs old HDD as an external storage. The old HDD has been formatted. Also i would like to point out that according to some standard SDD benchmarks i am not getting the performance one would expect from them.
Else than that, my iMac is mid 2010 2,8 ghz i5, i have 12gigs for 1333 DDR3 and im currently running on Mavericks, but i did have this issue on the previous versions as well.
This is my first post ever so please go easy on me. If you feel i havent written or explained enough please do let me know and i will see it corrected.

I've got this problem on Macbook pro (mid 2010, 2,4ghz i5, 8gb ram, nvidia gt330m)
I don't think it ever happened before upgrading to mavericks. But now it's horrible!
It seems to only happen to me when I'm running unity3D, but does happen every minute or even more often. And the system freezes for anywhere between a second and 15 seconds...

Non-system wide DNS Lookups on RBL (i.e. logical groups supported)

Sun Java System Messaging Server documetation seems to state that RBL filtering can only exist in one of three files that are used for filtering based off of inbound connection IP address. My question is, can conditional execution occur for a section of one of these files based of destination e-mail address?
I'd like to have multipule levels of e-mail filtering using RBL and allow users to be assinged to the level of filtering they desire by joining a logical group which will enable a level of RBL filtering for that logical group.
Any help is greatly appreciated, as far as I can see, I can only have one system wide filtering set, so I can't possibly have one set of e-mail ids using 10 RBL (remote black lists) and another group e-mail ids using a smaller set of RBLs.
======= From the documentation =======
MAIL_ACCESS : Used to block incoming connections based on combined information found in SEND_ACCESS and PORT_ACCESS tables: that is, the channel and address information found in SEND_ACCESS combined with the IP address and port number information found in PORT_ACCESS.
ORIG_MAIL_ACCESS : Used to block incoming connections based on combined information found in ORIG_SEND_ACCESS and PORT_ACCESS tables: that is, the channel and address information found in ORIG_SEND_ACCESS combined with the IP address and port number information found in PORT_ACCESS.
PORT_ACCESS : Used to block incoming connections based on IP number.
====================================

Alas, the RBL stuff is done before iMS even knows who the message is addressd to. That stuff is done at the initial connection phase, as our philosophy is to reject a message just as soon as possible . . .
After the message is accepted, then you can opt-in/out for things like spamassassin, brightmail, etc.

FDM System-wide

I tried using FDM and i love it. However, I did a thorough Google search and this forum for a solution to my issue but could not find any answer. I hope someone will be able to assist me with a solution.
Am wondering if it is possible for FDM to fetch mails from an ISP Domain box (multidrop/catchall mailbox) that holds mails for several users , and then hand them to Postfix that has Dovecot LDA delivery configured. The mails will then be delivered (by Dovecot's LDA) to respective users. I use Fetchmail (that is able to do this), but there are some issues with it, (like sometimes it gets stuck on large mails, etc).
Here I illustrate my current Fetchmail System-wide setup's /etc/fetchmailrc file:
# /etc/fetchmailrc
set postmaster [email protected]
set no bouncemail
set daemon 300
set logfile = "/var/log/fetchmail.log"
poll isp.domain.com proto pop3
localdomains abc.net
no dns
no envelope
user domain_mbox_username
pass domain_mbox_passwd
is * here
In the above fetchmailrc, "is * here*, * is aliased to our catchall account in our local postfix server. The ISP domain mailbox is configured as a catch-all domain and it holds our users emails (several different email addresses but all "@abc.net")
I couldnt find a way to do this with FDM since I am limited to delivering to mbox/maildir directly, and the way I understand it is that I would have to create individual inbox references. This would be tedious if we have some hundreds pop3 local mailboxes, ( I might be wrong in my assumption).
With my current setup, aliasing to the catchall account automatically distributes to respective mailboxes by reading the mail headers. (and also am not very good in coding, please treat me like a newbie )
Looking forward to your assistance.
Thanks and regards,
Clemo

OSX System Wide Font Size?

I just bought my first 27 inch iMac..
Although I'm lovin it, I do have it sitting at arms length away from me and am finding the font size vert small..
With this high res display the font is a bit tiny and am just wondering if its possible to change the system wide font size?
Ny eyesight is great but I'm finding that I need the computer right up to my face to be able to comfortable see the fonts..
-Frankie

There are some suggestions here
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17593815#17593815
including changing the screen resolution and the font size for folder and icons.
Another option not mentioned there is to enable the 'Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom' option in
 > System Preferences > Accessibility | Zoom
After that, you can hold down the 'control' key and 2-finger swipe to zoom the entire screen.

System-wide access to Firewire DV Audio in/out

I have a Sony DSR-45 DV/DVCAM Deck. Like any other MiniDV camcorder, it shows up in Final Cut and other DV-friendly applications.
Here's what I would love, though: for the audio channels to show up in the System "Sound" preference panel. It looks like it's a separate device, not a straight-forward "HAL" device (comes back as a different "sdev" in case that means anything to you), but I've got to think there's a way to inject it into there...
For example, the M-Audio 410 has an option to make all your ins/outs show up in the system audio pref pane.
Any thoughts? Hoping I don't have to learn how to write a system/kernal extension, but how great would it be to have system-wide access to your DV Camera/Deck's audio channels like it was a built-in device? Since it's always plugged in and has balanced outs, it would serve as a great audio interface...
Thanks in advance!

The audio engine of osx is core audio.
The only way to do what you wish is to have a core audio driver for your Sony.
cheers

System Wide RTSI Trigger - Multiple Instruments

Hello,
The application design requires a group of VIs whose job is to select a test point, look up what device and channel it is connected to, and then assign it as a trigger on the RTSI bus. The four instruments will then use this RTSI channel as a system wide trigger.
For example, can a VI assign Channel 3 on Device 1 as a trigger on RTSI Channel 0; then a completely separate VI that contains the driver for Device 1 (and is responsible for data acquisition) utilizes RTSI 0 as it's trigger (the same trigger that it is supplying)? There are four instruments, and the trigger can be selected from any channel on any of these instruments.
Or, does the trigger have to be set at the time of acquisition, t
herefore, amidst initializing the driver?
Thanks for your help!
Mark Roberto
MD Robotics

Mark,
Here is how you can setup were to look for triggers. When we set a DAQ board to trigger we use Trigger Config VI which can be found in the advanced pallettes for Analog Input, Analog Output, and Digital I/O.
When we want to route the trigger setup in Trigger Config to the RTSI bus to make the signal available to other DAQ boards then we use Route Signal for E-series and Analog output boards or RTSI Connect for 653x boards.
Regarding he question about assigning channel 3 on Device 1 as a trigger on the RTSI channel, this is not directly possible.
The RTSI bus only takes digital signals and therefore you can not route an Analog signal on channel 3 to the RTSI bus. However you can setup Device 1 to trigger off an analog trigger (if the DAQ board supports Anal
og Triggering) and then pass the digital trigger that is set over the RTSI bus.
When you set up analog triggering you can only specify the first channel in your channel string as the analog trigger source. In this case you can not monitor 4 channels and trigger when either of the 4 channels reach a trigger condition. You can only monitor one channel for the trigger condition.

System wide freezes since 10.5.5

Ever since upgrading to 10.5.5 I've noticed the following sort of system-wide freeze on my iMac.
First, one application becomes unresponsive; you get the spinning beachball of death; you can still move the mouse around and click; every application becomes unresponsive, including the Finder. Only a hard restart works.
At first I noticed the problem in iChat, and looked into that. Hey presto, other users are experiencing the same problem with iChat, so I wrote to Apple/feedback and sat and waited. I stopped using iChat, and then found it happened in iTunes. Look at the iTunes discussion, and yes, there it is again, other users having the same problem.
I've repaired permissions, run Onyx, done everything I can think of.
Console doesn't have any useful (to me) messages. It says:

That kernel bootcache looks ominous, but I have little idea what it means. I wonder whether it's something to do with Time Machine backing up. Of course, the above might just be totally unrelated to what's going wrong. (Looking at Console is I find rather like looking at a medical dictionary; it's truly frightening, but most of it never in practice seems to be a problem.)
Anyone else experiencing random system freezes only since 10.5.5? Anyone suggest what else I can try or look for in Console to pin things down a bit more?

Hello all,
Let me chime in on this also... I also experienced freezes immediately after I updated to 10.5.5 from 10.5.4 about 10 days ago. I had never had my Mac (Black MacBook with 4GB or RAM) freeze that much, so I concluded that it had to do with the update.
After multiple freezes, I brought the Mac to the Apple Store where a Genius did a disk check, hardware check and everything checked out OK. However, the random freezes remained. They then did an archive and install *back to 10.5.4*, but same thing, freezes remained. At random intervals.
Around that time, I noticed that if I waited long enough, the machine would return from the freeze and everything would operate normally after that.
I seem to remember that the first ever time I noticed the freeze was when I was working in the Mail application.
After my fifth successive daily visit to the Genius Bar, where they offered to completely format my internal drive, install a fresh copy of 10.5.4 and re-load my data back in. On this, they completely failed me, they returned my computer with half of the applications missing (the iPhoto application was not even on the drive), and my data partially restored.
I then decided to re-format my drive once again, use the 10.5.2 Install Disk that came with my Mac to freshly install the OS. Then immediately thereafter I downloaded the 10.5.5 combo installer and used it to upgrade to 10.5.5. Then, I selectively copied files from my Time Machine backup hard drive back to my internal drive.
Time Machine did not work for me when trying to restore e-mail mailboxes. It only partially imported the mailboxes I needed. Instead I had to do an "import mailboxes" from the Mail application and point it to the mailbox location on my Time Machine backup.
So, now I have a system that is lean and clean, I didn't install any "major" other applications using installers, just a few applications I drag-copied to the Applications folder.
The machine ran fine for a day or two, until I tried to move some mail from my inbox into another mailbox. Boooom, spinning beach ball again. I let the machine sit for about 5 minutes, and it came back. But this indicates that there is still an issue.
Since I also experienced this problem after going back to 10.5.4, I am wondering whether the 10.5.5 install does affect firmware or other device 'hardware' functionality that remains, even after reverting to 10.5.4. This is the only reason I can come up with for why the problem still existed when I went to 10.5.4.
Anyway, this post does not provide a solution, but merely some other data points.
Oh and by the way, I had never even started iTunes before this problem showed up again this morning. So, not sure whether it is related to iTunes.

System wide preferences

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to make preferences that I currently have for one user on my computer system wide, so that all other users have the same setup. Ie, I don't have to setup "tap mouse pad, instead of press button" for all users independantly.
My thinking is that on my work computer I have multiple desktops, and it would be nice to have multiple users set up which works in kind of the same way.
If it isn't possible to set it so that the setup and preferences are not system wide, which group of files need to be copied, and would this work?
Thanks

There are multi-desktop solutions for Mac too.
Most linuxes have this: inside your account you have 4 screens; and you can put applications on different screens.
A quick google turned up:
This one is alfa, but works: http://desktopmanager.berlios.de/ (freeware)
Seems complicated: http://www.codetek.com/ctvd/ (shareware)

How To Hide In Stock/Out Of Stock System Wide?

Hi,
We are selling items that are setup as Bills of Material. The problem is that they always show as Not In Stock on the website. This is because the stock levels come from OITM (Items in B1) and for BoMs the matching item in B1 does not get a stock level. Since the item stock level is the one used in Web Tools, I would simply like to hide any warnings about items being 'Not In Stock' because it's not an accurate statement. I know the customer can still place an order but it might make someone change their mind about ordering an item if they 'think' it's not in stock.
Is there any system wide setting to hide all stock level indications and warnings about out of stock items?
Thanks,
David Wall

Hello David,
This is possible, but it is a couple of steps:
1) In windows explorer navigate to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\b1webtools\catalog\controls\ and open up partpriceblock.ascx with a text editor such as note pad. You want to modify the following lines by putting comment marks around them like this (HTML comment marks are )
     
For the instock/out of stock and

To hide the inventory count.
2) You will also need to modify the cart.aspx page which can be found in c:\intepub\wwwroot\b1webtools\commerce\ like this:
                
3) And lastly the cartdetaillistblock.ascx control which can be found in the controls folder of the above stated directory. Modifying as shown below:

It should also be noted than an upgrade will overwrite these changes, but in the majority of situations you can reuse the modified ASPX/ASCX pages by overwriting the newer pages with the older modified pages.
Hope this makes sense.
Kind Regards,
James

System-wide cluster freeze

Hello,
We're experiencing many system-wide freeze instances in which many cluster members reported the following errors. We had to shut down cluster members one by one until the remaining system could be freed up. Our customer had many tools to monitor the network health. The network seemed not an issue. We've increased lots of memory to the nodes but there was no correlation to the memory size. What could be other possible causes that Grid.poll() hang?
Thanks!

Hi there, i just fresh installed Win 8.1 after having the issue of a svchost thrashing 100% disk access for minutes at a time and lagging whole system inc mouse pointer to the point that apps and games start to crash and the issue has not gone away.
I had also had the issue on old pc using different drives.
This is the 4th system where ive seen this behaviour in Win 8 since launch and was wondering if there is a fix yet? It happens on my 2 pc, my mothers laptop and a friends desktop, all with different hardware, 2 factory installs and 2x fresh installs
from untouched iso's.
It happens randomly when nothing is running on pc or sometimes when gaming or using apps and makes the desktop unresponsive for minutes at a time and sometimes crashes apps with it due to the system wide lag. Even ctrl alt deleting can take several
minutes for the menu to appear or even start Task Manager.
Ive managed to catch 1/2 the issue with procmon but due to taking so long for apps to launch while the lag happens i can only get the last 1/2 of the trace which shows a mix between a svchost, explorer.exe and wmiprvse.exe thrashing the system to a standstill
while accessing almost every file and reg key on the disk to over a million events recorded in procmon.
IS there a fix for this or a way to check the procmon trace to see exactly what service or task is causing the thrashing? I think whatever it is is buggy/broken, running at realtime and is blocking anything else from using the system until its done,
which lags the system.
Surely even an overloaded drive wouldnt cause other apps or the mouse to lag/hang so badly to the point of crashing and even Xp or Win 7 wouldnt lag/hang the desktop due to a busy drive.
