Update display name of approval/request to something sensible

I'm trying to update the display name / request summary to something that's easy to understand to the approver. Their is currently no template meachanism to support this.
I've tried to update the request's displayname in a workflow activity, however the update is in the request history but still the old hard to understand request summary is displayed.
Then I figured out that the approval object has an attribute request, after which I tried to get the object using various query combination using wsenum. Without success.
Being desperate, I decided to update the database directly, with success. IS THEIR ANOTHER WAY TO THIS? I Would prefer to do this using the normal platform service.

Hi David thanks for the response. End users complain that the approvals make no sense and if they have several to dig through the are quite unfriendly and cannot quickly see what was requested
without digging. To the end I am trying to the following with approvals:
Customize the display name shown in the first column of "My Approvals" to something other than "Update to Person: John Smith". I would like to programmatically change it based on the equest
type. For instance "New Payroll Account Requested for John Smith" or "New OCS Account Requested for John Smith".
Inside of the approval object, I would like to change it to to clearly show what is being requested, by who and who approved it.
If you have any examples that you can share that would be great. I am not asking you to do my job but any pointers or at least a starting point
would be most helpful since the MS documentation is, ahem, thin.
Cheers!

How to link yahoo email & automatically update display name in im

foremost, got myself a new 8520...i'm actually surprised how somewhat integrated/very user-friendly blackberry is..so far, it seems to be the best device in the business in terms of messaging/communication...i'm still an android user tho... anyway, couple of questions :
1. you know you can "link" im ids to contacts easily, how to do it when you receive an email and you want to link/insert the email address of the sender to an existing contact ? you can do that but you have to copy and paste instead of "link to bb contact" like you do with im ids.
2. probably its feedback for future upgrade, if you want to link/add an emai id to your contact, it'll more practical if you highlight the sender's (display) name and just link to contact, yet under this contact the actual email address is shown+saved rather than the display name.
3. if you link an im id for example yahoo messenger to a contact, should the display name automatically be that of the contact name instead of manually changing the display name for each contact ?
4. hopefully in the near future, there's only 1 messaging app instead of having ym, google talk, bbm separately....
thanks.

Display Name of Approver when Content Approval is enabled

Hi,
is there a way to see who is the approver in case that Content Approval was set on a document library?
i saw that there is a column named "Approver Comments" which may be added to the view but it doesn't show the approver name
keren tsur

Hi
The user Approver
is not the user "Modified
by"
If you use Content Approval,
SharePoint does not save the name of the approver.
If you use approval workflow, the information
is saved in Tasks lists
workflow and workflow history

Mapping Display Name

OIM 11.1.1.5.4
I'm using a DBAT (11.1.1.5.0) to map data...in stage I've concatenated firstname and lastname and mapped it to Full Name.
After it runs, Display Name is filled in...what's up with that ... why have full name and display name ... when there is no full name field, only a display name field.
I'll change the stage map to point to Display Name.
Q's:
1. has anyone figured out how to concatenate 3 fields ... firstname + middlename + lastname ... in the DBAT connector
2. how do you deal with names with foreign characters ... if present, the connector fails to update display name (well full name) ... even though first-middle-last names are filled in.

Re-mapping the FN+LN concatenated field to DiplayName resolved the issue of DisplayName not getting populated if either FN or LN had a special character.
However, now the DisplayName contains a '?" if either FN or LN is something like Jose' (Jo?e) or Andre' (Andre?).
Running SQL> select USR_DISPLAY_NAME from USR where USR_DISPLAY_NAME LIKE '%?%';
Returns 250 rows.
I'm thinking it is the grave sign that is problematic, as the single quote shows up fine in last names.

OIM 11g - Display Name policy

Hi,
may you help to find where is the default "policy" that compute and set the OIM User attribute named Display Name = <First Name> + <blank> + <Last Name>? Can I change that default behavior?
Thanks,
Gabriele

1. most of the time we get full name or display name from trusted source. and If we apply your method the OOTB won't work.Why not? OOTB trusted recon save it to UDF and then copy it to OOTB after recon. I just meant that OOTB field should be used and now if the use case is of recon or UI create users is a seperate question.
2. Even OOTB update Display name after user creation again mess to sync the Eventhandler order. and why two handler for same and on same field.Not a mess, just the way orchestration works & our daily bread. ;-) and two eventhandler on the same field is beause Oracle did not provide a policy for this field.
3. Third is all about personal experience and convenience. Agreed & my personal exp is that this OOTB Display Field is used at lot many places in UI and code; thus those functionalities would break if someone goes for UDF solution.

Update name, surname from display name - script needed

Hello
I'm moved from Postfix to Office365. My users has only display name field filled. This is a problem when we try to find an user, because only way is to find it when You will put name in search field.
I decided to build a script that will first check if the user has "Name" is filled if not then we need to take display name. Divide it (take first word into name and rest into
surname). Next update users name and surname.
I try to make such script but my skills are not enought to do it, so I ask You for help. I know that this is a piece of cake for You ;)

How can I control Updates? (i.e Display Name, First Name, etc)

Hello,
I've noticed that if a user is revoked in resource object A, when one of his properties changes (i.e Display Name), the form of that application isn't updated.
However, if he is in "Provisioned", "Manually cancelled",... then the form gets updated.
I'd like to limit the updates to resource objects where the user is either in Provisioned, Enabled or Disabled state. Is there a simple way to do this? I would think there would be a lookup to define something like this.
Thanks in advance

INVITE with display-name="" in Contact header- 400 Bad request from occas

Hi,
When a UAC sends an INVITE to OCCAS
with the Contact header in the form :
Contact: "" <sip:user@domain>
OCCAS rejects the message with 400 Bad request.
The problem comes from display-name = ""
(proven easily with sipp)
In the 400 response : X-Bad-Request: Illegal header "Contact"
It seems that the string "" as display name should be allowed according to rfc 3261:
display-name = *(token LWS)/ quoted-string
quoted-string = SWS DQUOTE *(qdtext / quoted-pair ) DQUOTE
qdtext = LWS / %x21 / %x23-5B / %x5D-7E/ UTF8-NONASCII
quoted-pair = "\" (%x00-09 / %x0B-0C / %x0E-7F)
Has anyone encountered the problem?
regards
Christophe

Why does the display name in older messages change if I update my address book for that E-mail address?

I have recently installed Thunderbird 24.5.0 after upgrading a WinXP machine to Win7. I have discovered a strange problem with older mail that was imported from Outlook Express 6.
The pastor of my church uses a generic E-mail address <[email protected]>. This address belongs to the position, not to an individual. We recently had a new pastor come to the church, and I updated my entry for this E-mail address to reflect the new person's name. This is fine for new mail sent since the new person arrived, but Thunderbird has also applied the new name to older mail from the previous pastor. This is very confusing, since the current pastor could not have sent mail from that address prior to her start date.
How can I get Thunderbird to stop changing the Display Name in archival messages that were sent by the previous pastor prior to September 01, 2013? I have not encountered this situation before using Netscape 4.x Mail, Outlook Express 6, and Windows Mail (Vista version).

Of course it does. It looks for a match between the sender's email address and a Contact in your address book. You've edited the Display Name for this account so it gets applied to any message with that email address if that's how your Address Book is configured.
In the Contact card for this address, you can tell it whether or not to use the "real" email address within the message, or the Display Name from your Address Book. Telling it to use the name found in the message ''might'' resolve this, but it depends on how the sender has formatted it. If he includes his name then Thunderbird should be able to resolve it, and you just add both configurations to your Address Book as two separate Contacts, rather than modifying the existing entry.
However, in this situation you're using the same email address for two distinct people, so Thunderbird may not be able to know who sent the old messages. If both have sent using "rector@stpeterscobourg.org" without any personalization then Thunderbird won't be able to differentiate between them.
I have to say that I haven't recently tried using different display names with the same email address, so I don't know for sure if TB can use the display name constructively. If there's nothing in the old messages to tell you which sender wrote them, then TB can't do anything about it.

Project Server 2010 - Updated User Profile - Display Name is Old Name

Similar to question"It shows the Domain\Logon account instead the User Name (up right corner)" but not quite the same. I also checked on the related topics list and could not find a solution.
We have a Resource in Project Server 2010 whose name changed. This included a change to her loginID as well as her email address. I went in to PWA > Server Settings > Security > Manage Users and changed the
Name, Email Address, and User Login Account fields accordingly. When the user goes into Project Server or any of the Project Sites, her old User Name is reflected. If she accesses any other SharePoint site (not associated with Project Server) her
new name shows up in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
We do not have AD Synchronization turned on.
How can we edit the name that appears in the upper right corner of the screen?

Hi,
Use Display name shown on right hand site is not from PWA, its from SharePoint User profile. When we make change to user display name, sometime SharePoint Still retain the old account and also add new account. To fix the issue we have to remove the user
profile from PWA root site.
Open PWA and navigate to following path
Site Actions>>Site Settings>>People and Groups
Click on More from left hand site list of groups
Select appropriate group, belongs to the user
Select the user and from Actions tab remove the user. (you may see two entries old and new), Either you can delete both or click on each account to validate correct user ID.
Once again navigate to PWA>>Server Settings>>Manage User
Edit affected user and click on Save
Have user log on to PWA and validate the result.

My BBM display name keeps updating?

For some unknown reason, my BBM display name keeps telling my contacts that it's changing (sometimes every two minutes and other times every five or so minutes) when I'm not even doing anything to it.
My phone is a Blackberry Curve 8900
Anyone know what's wrong with it?

Hello k4thleen and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you are having issues with BBM™.
When your contacts are getting the notification of the change being made, what is being displayed as the change?
Back up your BBM contact list as shown in KB20554 "How to back up and restore the BlackBerry Messenger contact list" and clear your BBM database as shown in KB10167 "How to clear the user content databases from the BlackBerry smartphone". Restore your contact list and monitor the changes.
Let me know how you make out.

How to get details of Pending Approval request in OIM 11g R2?

Hi,
We need to find out following details from Pending Approval Request in OIM 11g R2 -
Request ID,Assignees,Requested Resource Name, Title of Request, Beneficiary, Status of Request.
Out of above attributes we could find out Assignees, Title of Request, Status of Request, Beneficiary, etc. But we are not getting Request ID and Requested Resource Name.
We have used API - 'IworkflowServiceClient'
If we use API - 'RequestService' then we are not getting Assignees and Resource name from Pending approval request.
Can any one suggeste how can we get these details? Do we need to use other API or other alternative to get all of attributes from Pending Approval Request.
Thanks.

Thanks Kevin for your suggestion.
In OIM 11g R2 I tried task.getIdentificationKey() to get Request ID and task.getSystemMessageAttributes().getTextAttribute6() to get requested resource name but I am getting null values out of it. Is there something I am missing?
Which common thing I can use to retrieve data from both OIM and SOAINFRA? As I am not getting Request ID from 'IworkflowServiceClient' API so I could not use it to earch request in OIM using 'RequestService'. Even if I have to use query what will be common thing I can use to fetch data from both tablespaces?
Thanks.

Photoshop CC 2014 - "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialised".

This problem has just started, only with CC 2014. It doesn't happen with CC or CS6.
When I open a particular layered file, then Duplicate it, then close the original Master file I get the "text engine" warning box when I try to enter text in the copy file.
If I enter text in the original Master file - no problem.
If the Master file is still open and I try to enter text in the copy file - no problem.
I've validated all my fonts in Font Book, deleting all the duplicates and one corrupt font. No change to problem.
I've gone to User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC2014/ and trashed the CT Font Cache folder. No change to problem.
I've run PS Update.
Running OS 10.9.3.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same issue on my work computer. I found this info in Adobe's help section.
Issue
When you use the Type Tool, you receive the following error:

AdobeFnt_OSFonts.lst
Empty the Recycle Bin.
Restart Photoshop.
