Unexpected problem with Delete Workflow

G5 iMac, OS 10.4.3
I have been happily running a workflow called delete.files. It allowed me to do a 35-pass delete of sensitive files (financial data) at the click of a mouse in the contextual menu.
Suddenly, it would no longer work, so I deleted it and moved a copy from my last backup of a week ago.
The backup copy would not work either. Drat!
This .workflow file was in the...
"/Users/Me/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder"
...folder and thus appeared in the contextual menu. Very convenient, just a mouse click away.
Went back to <http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/deletefilesaction.html> and downloaded it again. Ran the Delete Files Installer and it placed a files.action file in the "/Users/Me/Library/Automator/Delete Files.action" folder.
For the live of me, I forget how to change this .action file into a .workflow file so I can move it to the...
"/Users/Me/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder" folder
...and have access to it via a right click.
Anyone know how???
Thanks,
bob

I am going to answer my own post because I solved the problem and wan to wind this up with a response in case anyone runs across this same problem.
I did a few searches on my G3 iBook and my G5 iMac (that was having the problem) and discovered this :
G3 had delete.files in ~/Library/Automator folder
G5 did not
Copied the delete.files from the G3 to the G5 and put in in the
~/Library/Automator folder
Logged out/in and now that Workflow works just perfectly. Have no idea how that delete.files file got deleted.

Problems with Automatic Workflow Customizing

Hi!
I am having problems with Automatic Workflow Customizing (SWU3). I am trying to execute "Configure RFC Destination" manually. I receive the message "Synchronization of passwords failed".
We are using CUA and it is therefor not possible to create the user from SWU3 which means that WF-BATCH has been created in CUA with a pw which is then filled in by me when executing "Configure RFC Destination".
WF-BATCH has authorization SAP_NEW, SAP_ALL
My user also has SAP_NEW and SAP_ALL and usergroup SUPER.
Does anyone know what might be the problem?
Sincerley
Anders Öhrling

Hello Anders,
Check if the user is locked in SU01. Then check if your user has been created in CUA.
It is recommended to delete WF_BATCH. The system will auto create the user ID WF-BATCH and synchronize the password.
Do let me know if your problem is resolved.
Thank you.
Regards,
Manomeet

Unexpected problem with this printable

Started by trying to stop the printing of the "Samples" printable that was acquired accidentally. Tried directions found in the forums to no avail. Tried through the HP Go manageprint route and never saw the minus sign in the printable header as described. Trying on the control panel of the printer, I get to the "Select activity" option and select the "Schedule it" icon. Loading....then error message: "There was an unexpected problem with this printable. Please try again later." I also had problems previously connecting to web services when I tried to scan a document to my email address (which I have done many time previously successfully). Performed wireless network test and all results were good. Something is screwed up. Any assistance is appreciated.

I suspect the whole setup is "not quite right" and that is not your fault -- it is a multi-step process and if it does go well the first time around, it can seem like the size 14 is a solution to fit the need. I do not have an answer - know that. The print App is stuck, no doubt about that. I will try and help you straighten out the setup; understand I am not a Printer Expert. Not. This may make it worse. You might want to call Cloud Services if you can do so... SideBar:At the least, the Snapfish bits may be just one more worm in the bucket of troubles - at this point, you might as well Click Reset Snapfish -- frankly, while used to understand what Snapfish is and why it might be on the printer panel, I have never heard of Snapfish Country. Final note about Snapfish -- if you ever get into some sort of evil loop about logging into (creating) your HP Connected Account and it is offing something about Snapfish account -- saying you have to have the Snapfish account or you can just die and never be able to log into your HP Connected Account: Give the program what it wants --- it is a bug. Create the Snapfish account and you will be able to get in. I did not write the program. I did not create the bug. I may have done some stupid things when I wrote code in my life -- this one is not mine. Smiling. You can "reset" at least the "web services" by simply disabling Web Services on the printer front panel. This is perhaps a good plan all things considered; you might read first and then decide. The one thing I have noted is that I have never had had any luck resetting, redoing, or entering much of anything from a printer panel. I lack the patience to type on tiny panels. I do know the Printable / Print App has to be "scheduled", that is, active before it can be cancelled. So, if it is in some sort of zombie state of half-life, you may want log in to your HP Connected account and make sure the Print App is "active" -- then try to kill it. Also -- see the note below about the Safari browser -- there may be other browsers (Chrome??) that do not handle the HP Connected account management page setup. There are several parts to the whole "ePrint" business. The following might be useful to help you make sure you have your setup in place.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Reference:Add Device to Printer See Section:Computer gets Full Feature Software (Printer Software)If you are printing from a mobile device on the same (home) network, then you probably have a home computer in the mix (on that same network). On that home computer, you would want to have installed the Full Feature Software for the Printer. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ePrint SetupThe ePrint setup on ePrint capable printers involves the setting of the printer's own email address and the switching on of the ePrint service on the printer. The ePrint email address is the email address to which you send your print jobs from your mobile device(s). Note that a mobile device can also include your notebook computer. "If you can send an email, you can use ePrint." -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The HP Connected AccountThe HP Connected Account (still called ePrint account in some countrys) is the account you use to manage your ePrint setup. You can customize your ePrint email address, add / remove your ePrint printer from the HP Connected account, check your ePrint job log, and -- when things are working as intended -- manage your Print Apps (formally Printables). For example,If you have had to Reset Web Services, you may need to log into your HP Connected Account > Settings > and Add your printer. If you have had to Reset Web Services, you must change your Custom ePrint email address. If you gave your ePrint address to someone you no longer "like", you can change the address or remove that person from the "Allowed Senders" list. There are a couple of oddities having to do with the managing of the HP Connected Account. For all that it is intended to be fully functional under most circumstances, some Browsers do not seem to be able to handle the code in which the WebPage is written. Safari is notorious for not handling the Print Apps section of the HP Connected setup. If you have trouble managing the features in your HP Connected Account, try a different Browser. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mobile Device / iPad gets an App Once everything else is set up, mobile device(s) can be added to the ePrint setup. The type of Application used to support the mobile device depends on the device. For example, iPhone and other Apple flavored products typically use those products found in the Apply Store. Android has its own download, etc. Most devices and printers that can be connected with ePrint or some sort of Cloud or Web services print service are mentioned and / or covered in the Mobile Printing Link in the document. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Troubleshooting and Additional HelpTips, Suggestions, lists, and extra "bits".

HT201250 Unexpected problem with Mac time machine!

Hi every one!
I'm having an unexpected problem with my time machine! the moment I hook up the back up drive my Mac crashes and the only thing I can do is to force restart. I'm not sure if the problem is with the back up disk or the Time Machine itself. I've successfully used the app since now and this just happens! I can neither access the disk in finder nor fix it by disk utility... would you please help me?
PS. the disk is encrypted, I doubt that might be causing the problem?!
Thank you!
chargar

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Enter the name of the crashed process in the “Filter” text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any -- the text, please, not a screenshot.
Then, still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash logs related to the process. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- again, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

Have a problem with deletting a folder that has 100+'s folders in it that are locked. Please help.

Put the folder into the trash - go to the Finder menu and hold down the alt key whilst selecting Empty Trash.
I've never tried this with a folder full of locked files, but it certainly works with a single locked file.
Hope that helps!

Problems with deleted outbound deilverys

Hi all,
I have the following problem with a deleted outbound delivery. The issue is that a sales order was created and a outbound delivery was assigned to this sale order, but somebody deleted the outbound delivery, unassigned the corresponding material and the shipping person assigned this outbound to another sale order believing that there were still plenty of material to cover both sales orders.
The help needed here is how do I know which user deleted the outbound delivery is there a record for that??
I'll appreciate your help a lot.
Best Regards,
Erik Espinosa

Malice is seldom behind stuff like this, from my experiences.
Prime candidate is human error (possibly with an attempt to fix it, which also includes hiding it...).
=> Send the sales folks a mail with the order number and description in it and ask them whether any of them know about it or are aware that an error might have been made. This gives them the opportunity to realize the implications of their mistake, or "own up" to it.
Depending on how your system is integrated and how many "cowboy" developers you had / have around, faulty config and even naive user-exits cannot be completely excluded.
=> Hard to find (better to prevent), but doing a where-used-list on the related VK* tables to see whether any Z-programs turn up is a start.
Either way, with the sales order number, you should be able to find the user context which performed these actions via the business change documents.
=> Take a look at the SCD* transactions, and the CD* tables.
If it was a batch user at midnight... then see "Hard to find..." above.
Cheers,
Julius

Siebel Problem With a Workflow Process (Pleaseee help REAL PROBLEM)

Well the problem is this i have a designed a workflow who is called by a JOB. Its functionality is to close Service Requests at certain time in the night.
when i simulate a workflow against 2 different Servers it works fine without errors, but when i run a job that calls this WP in those servers i have diferent errors in diferent steps.
In one server i have this kind of error in the last step "Cerrar Requerimiento":
SBL-EXL-00151
SBL-SCR-00141
SBL-BPR-00162
This operation is not allowed when there are no records displayed.
Please execute a query that returns at least one record or add a new record
and in the other i have this error in the 3er step:
SBL-SCR-00141- Problem Running a eScript
in spanish:
Error de tiempo de ejecuci?n de Siebel eScript en el procedimiento 'GetFieldValue' de BusComp [Action]:
Error: SiebelError: Esta operaci?n no se permite cuando no hay registros mostrados. Ejecute una consulta que devuelva por lo menos un registro o agregue un nuevo registro.(SBL-DAT-00215)
(SBL-SCR-00141)
Error al invocar servicio 'BCH EAI Query Utility', m?todo 'UpdateRecord' en el paso 'Cerrar Actividades'.(SBL-BPR-00162)
(error in the Runtime of the Siebel eScript in the process GetFieldValue of Action,This operation is not allowed when there are no records displayed.
Please execute a query that returns at least one record or add a new record
error invoking the service "BCH EAI Query Utility in the Method UpdateRecord in the step "Cerrar Actividades".
If they have the same job and workflow, and BS's active(i use the BS in other workflows and no problem with it) why they give error in diferent steps but they work fine when i use the Business Simulator?, its there a solution?, this can be a problem about the server config or triggers??
thanks a lot!

Hi,
1.Is you're server and youre client using the same version of SRF ?
2.Is the version for workflow in server and the one youre testing in client are the same ?
3. Last but not least this BCH EAI Query Utility search spec is it correct ? Can it able to return at least one record base on you're search spec because I know some business service are required to return at least one record else it will throw error.
Thanks,

Problem with cproject workflow

hi all,
i have created one workflow which will be treaged when i will release any task from the browser. when i will release this task my project should be released. (this is only for testing ) my workflow is working fine but it is releasing after 3-4 hrs. can anybody tell me that why it is taking so much time? it might be problem with some basis/system settings.so plz basis ppl also look at it and try to help me.
its urgent so plz reply as soon as possible.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Hetal

wow!, thats sounds really strange.
I propose you set up an example and open an OSS call.
The cpro guys from SAP should have a lok at this and provide a fix.
But if you release a task, the workflow is started as soon as you save or do you reenter the project directly?
There exists a kind of event handler BADI_EVENT, where you can control field changes.
In your case to release the task and need the release of the upper project. I don't like this process, but why not.
One possibility is making a small modification. As soon as task is released, we release all subtasks too. So it can make sense to release the project too.
I guess 3 lines of coding are required, but where
Please try the BADI DPR_EVENT oder the DPR_ATTRIBUTES and in the SET DATA routine, try to set the project release information.
regards
Björn

Problem with delete operation

Hi all,
Jdev version(11.1.1.3.0)
I have a <af:table> with a check box.I can select the rows
by checking check box and delete those rows.
Sometimes am facing a problem in deleteing the rows.
The viewobject that binded to the table,is based on two
Entity Objects A&B.The table B has no primary key field.But
it has a dynamic row_id as key fileld.
The problem is am not able to filter
the query results,when I select dynamic "Row_Id" in the select
query,I can't filter the records.(In the VO if I unselect the ROW_Id,
got an error like"Row_id missing in the view oject")Because of
this issue am not able to delete the records.Due to
this problem,delete works only in random.
Please share the ideas..
Thanks
Swapna

Try selecting a different attribute for EntityB as a key field

Problems with deleted Podcasts from iPod Touch (Проблема с удалением)

У меня проблема с удалением подкастов с моего iPod Touch (версия прошивки 2.2, iTunes 8.0.2.20)
Некоторое время назад я скачал через сам Ipod некоторые подкасты, в другое время с компа, после все синхронизировал и все уровнялось (переписалось недостающее туда и обратно). Сегодня я хотел все удалить и в настройках синхронизации моего iPod я просто снял галочку синхронизации и применил. После все плейлисты касательно подкастов были очищены, а вот сами файлы остались, т.к. в первую очередь суммируя то что у меня должно было быть и что было разница была в 3 гига.
С помощью SharePod решил проверить действительно ли так то что я думаю и оказалось что он увидел эти файлы, которые должны были быть удалены, но т.к. версия базы данных иная чем то что он может понимать программа, удалить я их не могу. Прошу помочь.
I have a problem with the removal of podcasts on my iPod Touch (firmware version 2.2, iTunes 8.0.2.20)
Some time ago, through the iPod Touch I downloaded some podcasts, at other times from the computer, after all synchronized (rewritten podcasts from my computer and ipod). Today I want to delete everything and in sync to my iPod settings, I took a tick synchronization and applied. After all the playlists from podcast has been cleared, but the files themselves remain as the free space was at 3 Gb fewer regulations.
Using SharePod checked their version and proved that SharePod saw no deleted files to be erased, but because version of the database other than the fact that he could understand the program, I can not remove them. Please help.

You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Problems with deleting mail in Mail-Yoesmite 10.10.1

Each day, I have a problem where Mail will not delete messages that I have deleted. The messages I want deleted seems to be in the Trash folder and appear to be deleted when I select the delete button. But when I click out to another folder and then come back to the Trash folder, those messages are still there.
T have tried doing this 3-4 times, with the same result.
I have since found that quitting the Mail program resolves this problem and so each day, I have to quit Mail in order to get it to function correctly.
Clearly, there is a problem with this piece of software, a piece of software which is one of the worst things Apple has ever made and which has been driving me nuts for years.

I can't find a way to edit my question so I am adding further info as a reply.
In addition to not deleting emails, Mail also does not always show me the most recent emails.
When I quit the app and re-open it, a bunch of new emails suddenly appear, all with different time stamps.

Problems with Deleting Confirmation Messages on a 8830 device

I am new to this forum but have a technical issue on a blackberry 8830 device with deleting confirmation messages.
Scenario:
User is replying to users with a confirmation of message read reciept from the blackberry. It copies the reciept in both his exchange account and his blackberry device. He can delete the confirmation of the reciept as usual but here lies the problem when he deletes it on either the blackberry or the exchange account side it won't reconcile it even though the reconcile is setup for both handheld and wireless and wireless email reconcile is turned on. He also has the desktop manager software running on his pc and its still not correcting it.
The BES server is on release 4.0.6.12 with a Microsoft 2000 Exchange Server (I'm thinking this is my issue but don't have any supporting evidence to support it).
Can someone please provide some insight as to what the problem might be in this scenario.

Thanks so much for answering! It looks like that cleared up the problem
