To get unique group objects

How do get the unique directory groups in iFS?
We are able to get the users using the Java API but we dont find any method for getting the unique groups.
Does Java API in iFS provide that?
Anyone tried it, please respond.

Not sure what you mean by 'unique groups'.
If you want to find a specific group there are two alternatives (that I know):
* Use the DirectoryGroup API get its members,
traverse it looking for what you want
(starting at "WORLD").
* Use the search API

Powershell - Select-Object -Unique vs Group-Object

Hi,
I have the following problem with powershell.
I have a list of strings call it $machine_list which
I know there are duplicates.
The following code produces the following output:
$machine_list.count -- 15375
$a = $machine_list | Select-Object -Unique
$a.Count -- 12134
$b = $machine_list | Group-Object -NoElement
$b.Count -- 12082
I am trying to get a unique list and looking at different
ways of doing it.
So in my example above why are the counts different?
Should they not be the same - $a.Count -eq $b.Count?
I am hoping somebody can explain this in more detail to me.
Also is there a way I can compare the results to see how they
differ? (Comparing $a with the Name Values of $b).
Thanks,
Ward.

Dirk - another way to think this out. "group" means that each named group has a unique name. In a list of strings the group name and object are identical so the list of group names is the list of identical strings.
Select -unique and sort -unique produce an identical set of lists. Select -unique, however, does not necessarily produce a sorted output although the output is guaranteed to be unique. What you may be mixing up is that many learned to add sort
in PowerShell V1 because they did not get a sorted output from a unique operation. As I posted above, this issue has come up constantly as people start to learn databases. A company that I used to work for wrote its own 'uniquing' code. It
always produced a sorted output as a byproduct of the method. When we implemented SQL database technology the programmers could not understand why select unique in SQL did not produce a sorted output. They constantly complained that it was a bug.
In most cases we would like a uniquing operation or not sort the results. Suppose I have a result set order a specific way. Now I want group it on a column but I do not want the order of the records changed. Grouping and select unique should
not change the order. There are many discussions in the database field as to why this needs to be. I am not sure which set of standards PS follows. In PS1 it appeared to follow the industry standard. Maybe I will test it later.

Error while creating MV replication group object

Please not already I have created KARTHIK schema.

Arthik,
I think I know what may have happened.
As I can see you are trying to create support for an updateable materialized view.
You have to make sure the name of the schema that owns the materialized view is the same as the schema owner of the master table (at master site).
From the code you have shown, I bet the owner of table EMP is SCOTT.
From the other hand, you want to create materialized view EMP_MV under schema KARTHIK that refers to table SCOTT.EMP at master site.
According to the documentation, the schema name used in DBMS_REPCAT.CREATE_MVIEW_REPOBJECT must be same as the schema that owns the master table.
Please check the documentation at the link below
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14227/rarrcatpac.htm#i109228
I tried to reproduce your example in my environment, and I got exactly the same error which actually confirms my assumption that the reason for the error is the fact that you tried to create the materialized view in a schema with different name than the one where master table exists.
I'll skip some of the steps that I used to create the replication environment.
I have two databases, DB1.world and DB2.world
On DB2.world I will generate replication support for table EMP which belongs to user SCOTT

Get all Groups for current user

Hi I try to get all groups for the current logged on user. This is what I do:
First I try to search with the IGruopSearchFilter to obtain all unique Group IDs. I always get an proxy error by doing this, maybe the query is to much.
Then I want to use the method group.isUserMember(user.getUniqueID() to check whether the user is a member of that group or not.
Is there a better way to obtain all groups for a user (without using a query IGroupSearchFilter)?
Thanks ahead for your help.
Burkhardt

Burkhadrt,
have you tried this?
https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/preNW04/SP2/60_sp2_javadocs/ume/com/sap/security/api/IUser.html#getParentGroups(boolean)
This should give you an iterator for all groups the given user is assigned to.
Hope it helps... and if so:

Not able to get group name by using memberof class, getting Total groups as 0 even I am member of that group.

Not able to get group name by using memberof class, getting Total groups as 0 even I am member of that group. Through this memberof class I am trying to find full qualified name(DN) of my group.
code I have used:
//specify the LDAP search filter
               String searchFilter = "(&(objectClass=user)(CN=Username))";
               //Specify the Base for the search
               String searchBase = "";

CP5 - W7 - Nested/Grouped objects - Not possible

Hi dear community,
I use Photoshop, Premiere, after effects, and many other adobe produts...
All of them have something in common, you can group or nest objects, vector based or pixel based media does not matter.
In Premiere, yoy can group a film a title and some effects into a cilp, and then use that clip as a object.
In Photoshop you can create folders under layers and use those to manage several objects at once.
But what about captivate? Even the "not to be mensioned here PowerPoint" can group objects.
Why is it so that within a company one does not reuse smart ideas and maby code?
Do not get me wrong, I love all the posibilities with captivate, but explode sometimes on the small unessesary to forget to develop things.
And to you who want to tell me about SHIFT, that is not what I am talking about
Thank you for reading!

OIM AD Group Object Classes

Hello
I need to add an additional object class to AD groups that are created from OIM. I am using OIM 9.1.0.2 and trying to update the lookup.ad.configuration ldapgroupobject class from "group" to "group | PosixGroup" and it looks like this is not taking. Does anyone know a good way to get the additional object class added when creating new groups in AD? Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Anyone able to help on this? I have opened a ticket but not getting anything from them on it.
Thanks for the help

Help With Grouping Objects

I have four Pages 2 components (line of a certain color & width which will be used as a border, two text blocks, one masked image) which will hopefully be turned into a business card. Template is laid out and I'd like to move it all to there, but seemingly am unable to.
I've tried selecting and grouping them ( Arrange >Group) but that doesn't work. I can't get the line object to be selected along with the other three, no matter which selection trick or technique I happen to try. I can select either the bordering line or whatever number of the three other objects, but never all four at the same time.
Is this a limitation in Pages or am I simply missing something? If it can't be done, can you recommend some other way of getting to the same goal?

Peggy,
They may have been, but they're now gone. I gave up on the idea of using lines for borders for another reason, e.g., the measurements get messed up due to how the line is drawn or measured to/from.
I did move to the AW way of doing it, basically nested 'boxes' of different shapes, all of it to be stacked and then the text boxes/images to be moved onto it.
Same problem; could not get all of them go Group. In fact, after several tries and undos, I couldn't get any of them to. Pages tends to get lost, I think.
Ran into other problems also; when the image you are using is a cropped (masked) one, you seem to be stuck with the adjustment bars for the whole thing. The result of this, for example, is seen when you subsequently do Group say that masked image with several other items like text frames or whatever else is working — you wind up with something which can be quite a bit larger than the visual end product.
The drawback here is seen when you then drop all of it into a template like the one for the business cards; the whole thing gets correspondingly shrunk and the aligment you set up on the master can't be retained.
Pages seems to have no capability to simply crop/mask off part of an entire construct, identify that as what you really want to play with, and to simply throw away the rest. Some objects I still can't get to group in with the rest, no matter what I do or how I do it.
Short term workaround was to just put it all together and then take a screenshot of it. That works, and that image can then be dropped into each of the ten slots in the Avery template imported in Pages. It all works, but you do lose some sharpness in the end product.
Of course, my printer just won't quite feed the Avery sheets correctly and I wind up with those irritating white lines along some of the borders. That's some other issue, however. Oh, well ..........

How to get customer-specific objects into PCUI ?

Hello,
we want to get an Z-table as tab page of the business partner-application into PCUI. It should 'only' be possible to create new entries - today there is no need to modify or delete records.
Does there exist something like a "cookbook" on this task or has anyone of you experience how to get customer-specific objects (without using EEWB) into PCUI ?
Thanks in advance
Martin

Option 1:
If you are good in ABAP.
You can add new tab in which create a new Field group. Assign it to a model access clas in which handle the table update.You can get the details in PCUI cookbook itsel.
Option 2:
If you are good at java
Develop an FM to update the table.
Call the FM from webdynpro
Include this webdynpro as HTML viewer in PCUI.

How to get user groups

Hi,
How can I get current users groups since the User and Group objects are marked as deprecated.
Right now I'm doing the folowing:
User user = request.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(User.class);
Iterator<Group> groupsIterator = user.memberOf();
Is there an other way to do it properly and without using deprecated methods/objects?
Regards,
Piotr

Hi devPl83,
Assuming you are on CQ5.5+, you should use org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.User

Sharepoint 2010 get User Groups from specific site

Hello,
I was able to get all User groups from entire site Collection.
But instead of getting user groups from entire site, I want read user groups only from one specified sub site.
Please help!
Thanks

Assuming you have an SPWeb object named "web", example:
SPSite site = new SPSite(http://yourdomain/sites/yoursite);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb("mysubsite/subsbusite");
web.Groups will return a collection of SPGroup objects for the current subsite. If this subsite inherits permissions from a parent site (web.HasUniquePerm = False), the list is the same as the Groups property of the parent site.
SPWeb.Groups:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.spweb.groups(v=office.15).aspx
SPGroup:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.spgroup(v=office.15).aspx
You would be better results by posting coding questions in "SharePoint 2010 - Development and Programming" instead of "SharePoint 2010 - General Discussions and Questions".

Rename Layer, Group, Object Javascript

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to write a script that renames a layer, and group within the layer, then an object within the layer (but not a part of the group) and have it run in a loop.
Here's what I've got so far, the group rename doesn't work.
#target Illustrator
var doc = app.activeDocument;
idLayers(doc)//IRename layers
idGroups(doc)//Rename groups
function idLayers(doc){
    for(i=0;doc.layers.length>i;i++){
        doc.layers[i].name= 'id:GTM_Group '+(i+1)
function idGroups(doc){
    for(i=0;doc.groups.length>i;i++){
        doc.groups[i].name= 'id:GTM_Group '+(i+1)
I haven't put in anthing to rename the single object yet since I cant even get the group rename to work. I suspect that the group re-name section isn't working because I'm either using bad syntax or an invalid command. Any ideas?

Found out that I was really close, and some interesting facts about how thorough illustrator will be when renaming groups across the board. Basically the files I'm working with have a layer that requires a specific name and number, and group within that layer and an object outside of that group but still in the same layer. Within the group is a compound path made up of several objects, I noticed that the when I started getting the group rename working it was skipping multiple numbers because it was going inside the compound path, find groups within the compound path and renaming them as well. So as long as I make sure there are no groups hidden within the groups I wanted to rename the script works like a charm.
Anyway this is what that script looks like I'm still working on getting the up-grouped object renamed. I notice this discussion has gotten a few views since I went to lunch. I'll post the final version at the end of the day if I have time.
If anyone has any suggestions or constructive advice I'd be very open to hear it.
#target Illustrator
var doc = app.activeDocument;

idGroups(doc)//Rename groups
function idLayers(doc){
    for(i=0;doc.layers.length>i;i++){
        doc.layers[i].name= 'Named Layer '+(i+1)
function idGroups(doc){
    for(i=0;doc.groupItems.length>i;i++){
        doc.groupItems[i].name= 'Named Group '+(i+1)

Group-object hierarchy

Hi guys,
my Boss wants me to create a Report in powershell that Shows all machines per Location per Country and I'm struggling with that. Here are a few Infos about the whole Situation:
The AD OU structure is
RootOU
            -US
                     -DEN
                                 -DENPC001
                               -DENPC002
                   -MAN
                                 -MANPC001
                                 -MANPC002
             -UK
                     -LON
                                 -LONPC001
                                 -LONPC002
I Need to come up with a script that results in 3 rows:
Country Name, Location Name, Number of Computers.
What I can manage to do is to get the Location and the Count of machines per Location, but how do I also get the Country in the same line?
Here's my code:
################ Code begin #############
function Get-ADLocationMembers {
[CMDLetBinding()]
Param (
  [string[]]$computername="LONPC001",
  [string]$DN="cn=LONPC001,ou=LON,ou=UK,dc=mydomain,dc=tld"
BEGIN
        $objComp = New-Object -TypeName PSObject
    }#Begin
PROCESS
  foreach ($computer in $computername) {
   $Location = (($computer).Substring(0,3))
   $Country = ((($dn -split ",")[-3]) -replace("OU=",""))
            write-Verbose "Location $($location)"
   write-verbose "Country $($Country)"
   $props = @{
    "Location" = $location;
    "Country"=$Country;
   }#foreach
   Add-Member -InputObject $objComp -NotePropertyMembers $props -EA "SilentlyContinue"
  }#foreach
}#Process
    END
        $objComp
    }#End
Get-ADLocationMembers | Group Location -NoElement
############### Code End #################
The result is
Count Name
    1 LON
What I would Need is something like this:
Country Count Name
UK            1 LON
Any help is greatly appreciated :)
Thx
Sebastian

[TIP]-Getting Uses Group Names Efficiently

We were having trouble getting the names of the groups that a user belonged to. We could easily get the object ID's but getting the name for each group was very slow issuing single row queries. Anyway we are able to query group memberships efficiently using a queryfilter.
Here is a code snippet in Java:
public ArrayList getUserGroupNames ()
throws MalformedURLException, RemoteException, NotInRequestException
ArrayList groupNames = new ArrayList();
IRemoteSession remoteSession = edk.getRemotePortalSession();
//Get array of group object Id's that the user belongs too.
int[] groupIdArray = remoteSession.getUserManager().getCurrentUserGroups();
//Issue a query on the object Id's to get their names
ObjectProperty[] op = {UserGroupProperty.SimpleName};
QueryFilter[] qf = {new IntArrayQueryFilter(ObjectProperty.ObjectID, Operator.In, groupIdArray)};
IObjectQuery ioq = remoteSession.getUserGroupManager().queryObjects(-1, 0, -1, ObjectProperty.ObjectID, true, op, qf);
for (int i = 0; i < ioq.getRowCount(); i++)
groupNames.add(ioq.getRow(i).getStringValue(UserGroupProperty.SimpleName));
return groupNames;
Hope this is usefull to others.

Hi,
You can still add 50 addresses to the group in the paid version and test it without sending it. After adding all contacts to the group, click on the group name and it should launch the Mail application with all recipient's email addresses populated in the respective To, CC or BCC fields. You can touch the CC or BCC fields and it will expand the list containing all the addresses.
Since you dont wan't to send the email, you can just cancel out of the operation after verifying if all the email addresses are being populated.

Concatenate a string with the results of group-object

I wrote a script to get the 10 most recent entries in the Windows application log. It works fine, but I would prefer to format the output differently.The output looks like this:server1\
Count Name
9 1008
1 1010
server 2\
Count Name
5 256
5 258
I'd like it to look like this.Server Count Name
server1 9 1008
server1 1 1010
Server Count Name
server2 5 256
server2 5 258
Ideally, the server name would only appear once per group, but I'd settle for what I showed above. Where does the "\" after the server name come from? Why are there all those empty lines between server groups?$S = get-content -Path c:\scripts\PowerShell\servers.txt
Foreach ($Server in $S)
if (test-connection $server -quiet -TimeToLive 5 -Count 2)
$events = get-WinEvent -ComputerName $Server -logname application -Maxevents 10 -ErrorAction silentlyContinue
$output1 = $events | group-object -property Id -noelement | sort-object -property count -descending -ErrorAction silentlyContinue
$output2 = Out-String -InputObject $output1 -Width 100
join-path $Server $output2
else
{"Could not connect to " + $Server}
Thanks,Matthew
