Problems in creation of a new user in the workflow

Hello everybody,
I created a task "create new user" in the workflow. When I chose the "password" attribute, the entry couldn't be created. Without that attribute, I am able to create a user and see him in the monitoring, but can't log into the workflow because of a password error. Could anybody tell me what went wrong here? Did I forget a setting?
Thank you in advance...

Hi All,
We suddenly started getting this error:
Access denied.
You may not have access to perform this task on the chosen person
or your session has timed out. (Try to log into the system again.)
As told above we already have extension=php_mcrypt.dll enabled in php.ini file like this.
; Local Variables:
; tab-width: 4
; End:
[PHP_LDAP]
extension=php_ldap.dll
[PHP_MCRYPT]
extension=php_mcrypt.dll
[PHP_MSSQL]
extension=php_mssql.dll
[PHP_XSL]
extension=php_xsl.dll
We are also having file libmcrypt.dll in the php.ini folder.
This error is only coming for one queue when we try open a transaction and not any other queue. we are having same access to all the queues. this is only happening from today and till yesterday we never had this issue.

Test Links for Users OUTSIDE the Workflow

Hello,
In our company we have a process where updates are requested, then someone makes the updates and then a test link is sent to the requestor so they can review and approve. This is all pre-UCM, we have been working in another CMS and are moving to UCM now. The question that has arisen is how can users that are NOT in the workflow or dont even have users accounts view the content on the server?
Basically when we send test links to the requestor they often send to their coworkers etc... for further review and from what we are being told about workflows is that ONLY the users IN the workflow can see the updates on the site in the browser.
Is there a "work a round" to this? How can we allow anyone to see updated content on our test site?
Could we create a Generic Guest account that has read to all content and is in all workflows? What have you experenced in your implementations and how have you resolved?
Thank you
Brett.

WOW, no one has run into this type of situation. Amazing. well then... hmmmm.....

Dear All,
I group my table into 3 tablespace And some reports, accessing different tablespace (more than 1 table space). and these report will always be run by 5 user in the same time. and make it run very slow. Is it going to make the report very slow ? Please advice
Thanks in advance
Widhi

Hi,
i hope that may not be the actual problem..
if ur report processing includes relatively high
amount of calculations on tables..then the report
processing can be very slow...
In that case try to create a table to store ur calculations
temporarily and try to use that table in the report..

Workflow 2013 change user executing the workflow

In a new workflow 2013, I would like to have the entire or part of the workflow to run under the id of a user that is not executing the workflow. The id of the user would have higher permissions than the user that is actually running the workflow and
would have at least 'edit' permissions. I would like to run the workflow under a different user so that the person that is executing the workflow will have permissions on the custom list that they submitted to the workflow set to view only. Thus
once the permissions on the custom list are set to view only, the workflow would need to run as another user.
Thus can you tell me and/or point me to a link that will display how to execute a workflow 2013 with a different user that did not start the workflow? Basically the workflow would be run by a user that did not start the workflow.

Hi scampsman,
As dmadelung said, Impersonation step is unavailable in SharePoint 2013 workflow, you can create a workflow using SharePoint 2010 platform, and use Impersonation step in this 2010 workflow.
If you want to use the function in SharePoint 2013 workflow, you can use "Start a List Workflow" to trigger the SharePoint 2010 workflow in SharePoint 2013 workflow.
More information about How to trigger a SharePoint 2010 workflow from a SharePoint 2013 workflow, please refer to the link:

Very Simple Question - New User

I searched 1 1/2 hours for the "Velocity Tool". The manual says its in with the other tools (in the drop down tool menu). I saw it there once.
While in "score" or "piano" notation it doesn't show.
Anybody know how to get the "Velocity Tool" to show up?
The keyboard apple sold me doesn't have all the common keys of a normal keyboard, so I'm trying to use the tool instead of a keyboard combination. Thanks, Charlie [email protected]

Make sure you have the Piano Roll (or Score) editor open, then simply select the velocity tool icon from one of the two pull down icon-menus (Tool Menus) along the top of the editor itself (next to the 'snap' pull down menu).
The same place where you choose the 'pointer', 'eraser' or 'crossfade' tools etc.
If you are still really puzzled then, and I admit the manual wasn't that obvious to a new user, look at page 63 and the middle screenshot. You can see the Piano Roll's own Tool Bars (with the Pointer icon and Pencil icon to the top-right) as distinct from the 'Arrange' windows Tool Bar which doesn't have the velocity tool.

Simple question: Getting rid of the yellow playhead bar

Hi guys,
Stupid question, but, sometimes I accidentally activate the yellow bar above all the tracks that determines where the track ends and goes back to play at the beginning, but I can't figure out how to make it go away! How do I disable it?
Thanks!
Alec

You can call .setUndecorated(true) on your frame. This will get rid of all decorations, including the title bar, maximize/minimize and the borders. To get the borders only to show, do .setUndecorated(true), then manually add a border to the Frame (I've forgotten the exact method name, but I believe it is setBorder or something similar - check the JDK 1.4.1 API's JFrame entry for more info)

A very simple question: how to obtain the mail server name?

In our JSP application, at one point an email will be sent to notify one event. Currently, that is done by using the html tag: mailto. To have more control on the email in tems of context format (a bad layout right now) and others. I would like to have it processed at servlet by using the JavaMail API, so that it have a nice format and have the sender's email address right in case email client is not installed in the machine where the browser in. The JavaMail API is straight forward. The question is how to obtain the mail server name, and the sender's email address if there is one?
Thanks.
v.

How to obtain the mail server's name? It's your server, you should know its name. Or if it isn't your server, you should ask the administrator for its name. Point is, you need to decide in advance what server you are going to use and hard-code its name into the program or into a properties file.
And how to obtain the client's e-mail address? You have to ask the client, probably by putting a box in the HTML and asking them to type it.

I want to add a very simple email only form in the header for offers/newsletter etc. Anyone know how to do this?

I have tried deleting the various parts of the contact form, but it won't let me delete the 'name' field. All i want is 'email' and 'submit'. Thanks in advance.

You can't remove the name field ... but here are some options for you.

Hello,
I would like to create a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013 for a list in a site on SharePoint online and one of the action would be to send an e-mail to the manager of the user that created an item in a list.
How can I get the manager of the user and then use it to send an e-mail?

I am inputting my guitar tunes(.wav files) and I am trying to do an FFT on this. Wen I do, the FFT signals are very small and are not on the right frequency scale. However I am able to simulate a sine wave and get an accurate FFT plotted as a cluster.

My .wav file has about 8100 samples and has a sample rate of 11050. I pass the samples into FFT. The output I devide by the size of the array(8100??). This I seperate into 'real' and 'polar'. The 'real' I use to plot. My plot has a starting value of '0' on the X axis. My problem is with the other value for the cluster, i.e; To plot this I need 1. 'real' part of the FFT output. 2. the 'x' axis starting value(0) and 3. how do i get this value? I tried deviding the sampling rate by the size of the samples, but
the FFT plot is really wrong. Anybody has an example vi to convert .wav files to FFT? Thanks alot!!!

Mark! Thanks again for the extended answer!!! I have learned alot from that example you gave me. Here is a simple VI which I am trying to plot as an FFT plot. I have also included a 0.5 sec .WAV file. If you have the time, I will appreciate it if you can tell me how to plot the FFT. This vi is very simple. You can open the included .wav file on the included VI, and you will understand why I am unable to plot an FFT. I am doing this to process my music. Appreciate it!!!

Get User not returning user information

I am trying the following to kick off a simple "disable user" runbook
Initialize Data --> Get User --> Disable user
Initialize Data requests the SAMAccountName be entered
Get User has the Search Root set to "DC=test,DC=net" and a filter SAM Account Name = {SAMAccountName from 'Initialize Data'}
Disable User - Distinguished Name = {Distinguished Name from 'Get User"
Whenever I start the runbook it comes back with no value in any of the fields (most importantly Distinguished name)
I use this same initial Activity/Configuration to kick off my other runbooks and although they are identical they behave differently. Has anyone seen this type of behavior?
I am using the Microsoft Provided AD IP 7.2

Some additional strange behavior. If I remove the search root I receive the following error

How easy is Ghost Armor or Zagg to install without getting liquid IN the phone?

I am looking at getting the ghost armor for my iPhone (en route from China) and I am a bit nervous about putting on the front piece using a liquid activator. I am worried about getting liquid in the "ear hole". The only liquid that my iPod Touch has seen is a bit of rubbing alcohol to clean the screen with (works great -evaporates fast) every couple of weeks.
Anyway, can anyone tell me how easy, or hard, it is to install ghost armor or invisishield yourself? I saw invisishield has a booth at a local mall, but I just don't trust them with my phone and liquid - that is why I am considering doing it myself.

It is very simple to put on and the amount of liquid you use is very minimal and it is also a very fine mist. Its not like your soaking your device or leaving it sit in a liquid. I have put it on 8 different iPod touches, 3 droid phone and 4 blackberries with absolutely no problems. I would highly suggest it. Someone else said it is gummy---completely wrong!! When you take it off you can't even tell that anything was ever there and I know this because a sharpie marker opened in my bag and got green ink ALL OVER my iPod touch(among a few other things), I just peeled off the invisible shield tossed it in the trash and purchased another one to put on. Had it not been for that protection my iPod would of been destroyed. Honestly they make this stuff idiot proof and there is no reason to be scared. Very simple installation and I highly doubt Apple would sell it if it was going to damage the electronic upon installation. In my opinion the things that can happen to it without it on are MUCH GREATER, one small drop and you have a cracked screen with this stuff I don't worry.

The workflow gets trigerred thrice...

Hi,
The trigerring event for the workflow is getting triggered thrice. The event is attached to bsvw and i have activated the event, thats it, but when i check in swel there are three entries having the same event. Any suggestions please..
Regards,
Sukumar.

hi,
Its a simple logical expression which gets evaluated before the workflow gets triggered,in this way we can prevent the other workflows from getting triggered.
Another option is to have a check function module.This helps in preventing most of the workflows from getting triggered.
I hope this will be helpful to you.

Saujanya
