Terminated employees and system-wide "clean up"

We have, unfortunately, a pretty high turnover rate in our purchasing department and we use the Oracle Purchasing module. We have over 14,000 purchasable items and around 3,000 on average assigned to each buyer that we have. When someone takes their place we have to reassign every item to the new buyer using a keystroke simulator which is a REAL pain in the back side.
The first question is does something exist to do this for us?
The second question is much more broad with relation to turnover and terminations. There are obviously some requests scheduled to run every day, every week, etc by many users. When other users are expecting to get this output and the submitting user has been terminated the job obviously doesn't run. The same kind of scenario exists for workflows that require approvals. If the user is terminated and has outstanding workflows to approve we're in trouble.
Is there a massive report of some kind to give information on these kind of things? Scheduled jobs, workflows of which the user is a "member", all things that need to be examined when a user is terminated?
A tall order, I know, but we find problems all the time related to terminated users. It's very difficult to review and better yet avoid.
Perhaps there is just a business process that some of you use to avoid this. Any suggestions? We have started scheduling SOME jobs under a generic operations user but not all have been migrated.
Thanks in advance!

You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

  • Fresh install, random 100% drive usage and system wide lag.

    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.

  • Person type and assignment status for terminated employee

    Hi,
    When I terminate an employee, is it possible to default the field "type" on "Person type and assignment status for terminated employee" section into another value? Its default values is: "Ex-Employee released".
    Thank you.

    Navigate to Work Structures -> Status and query for all rows with system status Terminated Assignment. select your required assignment status as Default. Untick the other default.

  • Employee termination in HR system deletes BP role-BUP003 in CRM.

    Hi all,
    HR system is integrated with CRM.
    When Employee is terminated in HR system it deletes BP role-BUP003 in CRM.Is this a standard behaviour? Is ther anyway we can stop this?
    Thanks
    S

    Hello,
    the existing process of deleting the role BUP003 for inactive employees
    is standard design and will not be changed. If the role will be kept
    for a terminated employee contract this definitely is an inconsistency
    between the HR data and the CRM data (business partner).
    There is one exception: if you have activated the time-dependance of the role
    the time-frame would be limited.
    Regards, Gerhard

  • Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

    Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

  • System cache cleaning - when is it safe, and when is not?

    System cache cleaning is one of those so-called "maintenance" tasks that you may read about on the forums on Mac OS X guides that has mixed reviews, and typically is not necessary. In fact, when it is done at the wrong time, data corruption can lead to a situation where an erase and reinstall is necessary. I can't reproduce it easily, but I will say I've had it happen to at least three of my clients, so it is not as random as one would hope.
    You've probably heard of browser cache, and that's safe to clean anytime you like. One thing you'll notice about when you do, is that some websites will load slower, and others will load faster depending on your internet connection, and the frequency those websites get updated.
    System cache on the other hand which you'll find in ByHost and Cache folders in your Hard drive -> Library, System -> Library, Users -> yourname -> Library are a much more sensitive type of file. These will optimize the speed of frequently done operations on the operating system itself as well as specific applications which require those folders. When one of these files get corrupted, programs won't launch, will unexpectedly quit, will launch and close on their own, and in some cases Disk Utility won't function normally, or System Preference panels won't launch. To avoid these problems:
    1. Only do system cache cleaning after your data is completely backed up to your satisfaction, so that a system restore won't waste your time.
    2. Do it when no other applications are running, and there are no memory resident programs that may be affected by such cleaning in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login or Startup Items. Check the Process or Activity Viewer applications for applications you might have installed.
    3. Do not allow the process to be interrupted until it is finished. If any power outage happens, you may be left with a corrupted cache file.
    If you have a corrupted cache problem, attempt to isolate if it is happening just to one account by creating another account with Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts with admin access and see if it impacts that account as well. Do the following depending on whether or not it does affect that account:
    1. If isolated to one user, go back to the user and delete that user's Library folder's cache files relating to system and Launchservices, and log out and log back in the user twice. If it disappears as a problem once, and reappears, something you are running is persistentantly corrupting that user's cache folder, and you may have to move all the non-corrupt files to the new user.
    2. If it is not isolated to the user go to the System and Library folders under the hard drive and see if the Launchservices files and System cache files are removed if the issue disappears on reboot, and if it does, does it reappear after a second reboot. If it reappears after a second reboot, then you have the scary prospect of an erase and install of your system.
    Don't use automatic utilities to manage your system or user cache files. If anything only manually clean the cache when it is necessary and you have corrupted files. The cache is there to speed your system, and should otherwise not be touched.

  • When I select text, system wide, and delete it, why is the succeeding text then selected?

    When I select text, system wide, and delete it, why is the succeeding text then selected?
    This doesn't happen all the time, but it's happened enough for me to notice it and get super annoyed by it.
    Here's an example. If I have the following text:
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
    And I highlight quick brown and then press delete, I get: (The red shows the selected text)
    The fox jumps over the lazy dog.
    So when I then start typing, more text is removed than I want. Sometimes this effect carries over, so that the next couple words are selected once I start typing.
    It's wonderfully annoying. So I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing such issues or if anyone might have an idea on how to get rid of this problem.
    Thanks.

    Ooops. I haven't updated my sig in a while. I'm on 10.8.2 and it happens on a late 2008 Alu Macbook.

  • System wide jerky scrolling and delay while typing and selecting text

    Hi,
    I'm new to Mac (first laptop) and I'm noticing just now that the system response feels very low. There's a significant delay when showing characters after typing as well as selecting text, and jerkiness when scrolling anything, from Finder window contents to Safari web pages.
    I take care of not installing suspicious software, I use a limited account for daily taks and haven't installed anything lately. Processor usage is as low as ever. Plenty of memory is free (4GB installed) and free disk space is enough (66 GB).
    What is happening? Not even Windows behaved like this!
    Please help!!!!

    I had installed 10.5.8 and it's kind of iffy with file permissions...
    The system-wide jerkiness went away with a reboot, but the Safari jerkiness I could attribute to specially heavy surfing I never did before on that day.
    I'm accustomed to my Mac working speedy all the time and because of that I can be unforgiving, and it's wrong. I would never complain of jerkiness on my XP PC when opening 30+ browser instances and 100+ tabs in total because I know XP can't handle it, but that was the kind of thing I threw at Safari. And the experienced jerkiness wasn't even on all pages, just a few.

  • Deactivate "Correct Spelling Automatically" system wide and permanently?

    Hi,
    as the title says: is there a way to deactivate "Correct Spelling Automatically" system wide and permanently?
    I really really don't like it!
    Thank you,
    Cédric

    Thank you so much! It was really driving me crazy since I often switch between different languages and have some text in multiple languages which always caused a total mess and the correct spelling automatically thing would just correct everything wrong.
    Thank you!

  • IPhone 5S and terminated employees

    Hi Everyone,
       I was wondering if anyone had thought through the implications of the TouchID feature on the IPhone 5S in a corporate environment and how they would handle certain events.
    Scenario 1 - IT issues a new 5S to an employee and he sets it up with his fingerprint and Apple ID. Employee gets terminated and now it's time to re-issue that 5S to a different employee. According to what I've read the fingerprint stays on the phone, even if it's wiped so how do I go about wiping it and re-issuing?
    Scenario 2 - Same as 1 except we had the foresight to pre-load an IT Admin's fingerprint, in effect giving us a "master key". If that guy gets terminated now I have to go touch every phone and somehow delete the IT admin's fingerprint and load another.
    Scenario 3 - Same as 1 except we don't use TouchID, but FindMyIPhone is automatically configured with terminated employees AppleID. You can't wipe the phone for re-issue without turning off FindMyIPhone, and you can't turn that off without the terminated employees AppleID.
      I'm just curious as to what everyone else is doing in corporate scenarios with these devices?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    A number of conditions need to be in place for this to happen. Besides being plugged in and on wi-fi, your screen needs to be locked, so be sure this is taking place. If your iPad is continuing to back up, that indicates that you have enough free space in your iCloud account, so that's probably not the issue. I would check to make sure that your screen is locking after a set time.

  • System wide mini malfunctions

    I have a mac mini i5 (2.3 GHz mid 2012)
    OS X 10.8.3
    I have multiple log in accounts (main, kids etc)
    I upgraded to Mountain Lion a few months ago and just now realized there are system wide malfunctions going on.
    Prior to upgrade, I backed up, wiped the drive clean, then installed Lion and a week later upgraded to Mountain Lion.
    Problems:
    Loging into account C: I am greeted with a "Enter iCloud ID or create a new one" then another screen saying "Enjoy your computer."  I have entered the info at this prompt and am greeted by the same prompt the next time I log in. I have had an icloud account for months and this info is entered in the Pref Settings as well.  It is as if the computer is not remebering the info I am entering.
    Login items that have been turned off, will be turned back on after login or reboot.
    Account A- Finder - if I customize the side bar of the finder window, it will accept the changes for my current session, but if I log out or restart, the customization is reverted back to the default
         Mail - opens two window upon launching, it will not remember my toolbar customization (similar to the finder side bar problem above)
                       will not remember changes to pref settings like "move junk mail to trash"
    Account B Safari will not remember auto log in info.
    I've tried repairing disk permissions
    I've gotten advice to delete various .plists and data states.
    None of this has helped.  I feel like I'm working on a computer in the public library. Urrggh!

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • System-wide blue to purple color switch bug

    I've been having a very confusing and inconsistent color issue which has persisted for years on both a PowerBook G4 and my new MacBook Pro using Panther and Tiger respectively. The MacBook is only two weeks old and still has a very clean system.
    Seemingly at random blue colors will switch to purple in random places in most apps. Restarting the computer used to solve the issue, but it no longer does - I am permanently stuck with a purple color scheme (screenshots further down).
    - The default unvisited link color in all apps has switched from blue to purple.
    - The finder icon has switched from blue to purple in both the dock and the command-tab switcher (but the icon is the correct color when viewed inside the CoreServices folder). All other blue dock icons are unaffected.
    - Some toolbar or sidebar images in most apps which were blue are now purple, but other blue icons have stayed blue.
    I have screenshots just to show that I'm not imagining this. Mail and the Finder use the same drag-and-drop sidebar highlight color. However, Mail has now taken on a purple theme:
    And here is the Finder icon as seen in the dock, and then as an alias in the Finder:
    Here is what I have tried thus far (nothing has worked):
    - Logging out and in
    - Logging out and in while holding shift (safe login)
    - Restarting the computer
    - Restarting the computer while holding shift (safe boot)
    - Repairing permissions and restarting
    - Zapping the PRAM (command-option-p-r)
    - Creating a new user account and logging into it
    - Running daily, weekly, and monthly cron scripts using Onyx
    - Deleting all caches for applications, fonts, system, and kernel
    - Pulled everything out of the main Library (Macintosh HD/Library/), cleared caches, and restarted
    From this I've concluded that it's probably a bug or corrupted file in the core system since safe boot, clean user accounts, and a bare library didn't fix the problem. The obvious solution would be to re-install the OS, but I'm afraid that the problem would just happen again since it has been occurring with multiple versions of the OS on two different computers.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I should add that this has been a slowly developing problem, one which is only getting worse. The first effect was a system-wide change in the default unvisited link color. Restarting the computer solved the problem whenever it would occur (about twice a day). The next to be affected was image colors, and once this happened for the first time, restarting the computer no longer fixed the problem.

  • 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.

  • Terminated employees retrieval

    Hi All!
    I need to retrieve terminated employees without creating any FM on target system.
    As I understand, there is an identifier of terminated employee: infotype IT0000 has end date of '31.12.9999'
    How should I read this data from IT000? HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION FM in not RFC-enabled. Are there any BAPIs of FMs that are RFC-enabled and capable to read this information?
    Thank you!

    thank you, will try it out
