USERS and access to OWB
Hi
I am a dba with no warehousing experience. I have been asked to configure and support an OWB installation v9.0.2.0.8. I have installed the server side runtime repository and target schema's - and have run the service_doctor.sql and evrything appears fine.
I have the following accounts now
1 x OWBRUNREP user (runtime repository schema)
1 x OWRUNACCES user (runtime access user)
1 x OWB9iDEV user (design repository user)
3 x target schema's (for data and deployment)
My question is - my users connecting through the client on their pc can only connect to the Design Rrepository user OWB9iDEV - is this normal ??? All other connections fail ???
I am assuming they have to connect to the design user --> then deploy into runtime environment using deployment manager for example ???
So is everything alright - or do I have a problem ??? I can;'t decide from the last 8 hours of reading docs ??
Any help greatly appreciated

Hi!
Yes, the first time Runtime Repository Assistant is run it needs to be run on the host where OWB Runtime is installed. That's because the Runtime Service starts a java process that runs on the OS and not in the database. Subsequent operations of the Runtime Repository Assistant (such as to add more target schemas) can be remote.
The association of the Target schema with a Runtime Repository happens when you create a Target Schema using the Runtime Repository Assistant, which is why this is the only way to create a target schema, i.e. you cannot just start using any arbitrary schema as target schema for OWB if it hasn't been created this way.
Here is a good resource for your and others future reference. The OWB Architecture Wite Paper http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/Architecture%20_White_Paper.pdf provides a condensed version of the architecture information contained in the Installation Guide. I personally found it the easiest way to make sense of the architecture.

Defining roles and access for OWB Designer
Hi,
Can i Define roles and access rights to different on 1 OWB Designer repository?
I want to send my mappings for code review but i dont want them to log into the OWB designer with write access.
How can i achieve this in the same OWB designer repository as the one i am using?
I am using OWB 10.1.
I found some table - WMP_USER_ROLES,WMP_GROUP_ROLES,WMP_GROUP_REPOSITORIES
when i logged into the designer schema through sqlplus
Thanks
SagarHi Sagar,
Yes you can do that. Basically you can create a db user, and then register the user with a repository. By default that user has all privileges, however it now is audited per user as to what he/she did. How to do this look at the doc (find SecurityHelper)
To enable you to protect metadata there are a couple of strategies (implemented via a simple PL/SQL API). For an example (this one works with policies on the module level) take a look here (http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/warehouse/files/Dev_Status_Policy.SQL)
This would work as follows:
- Create user REVIEW
- Register user REVIEW to repos QA
- For a module you want review for, set the status to QA
Now the REVIEW user logs in and he can look at QA but cannot touch.
Hope this helps,
Jean-Pierre

Copy and paste in OWB 10.1.0.4
We are using OWB 10.1.0.4. Copying and pasting a mapping is giving the following error:
Import requires more than the maximum number of locks<0> for import.Cannot automatically switch import to single user mode because other users are accessing the OWB repository.
We are not even importing and exporting but just copying and pasting a mapping. It used to work with OWB 10.1.0.2 and below.I do not know why such an error should happen, but the solution is to ask all the other users to come out of OWB, do your copy and paste and then ask all the others to log in again.
This may be a very childish approach, but I could not find any other solution for it.

How can multiple users edit and access same ACCESS file
Hello,
We have 2 access files and multiple users needs to edit and access those files.
How can I enable mulitple access but only one user can edit rest of users are in read-only mode for one file and multiple access and edit on the another file.Hi,
You should split your database in a front and backend. Then create two seperate front ends which you can distribute. If you need readonly you can opt for two options, setting the attributes of the file to read only or create a front end with read only forms.
The last one takes a little more work but is safer than setting the attributes to read only because people can change that back themselfs.

When the updater notified me of an iTunes update, I selected the update option. The update failed and killed the version I was running. I have tried for a year to fix the problem without sucess. I can't completely remove all Apple products. I can not install any apple products especially iTunes which is the only one I am interested in.
When I install iTunes now I get a registry key error similar to this:
I am using a machine where I am the only user and am the Admin. I have looked at the security settings on this key and see nothing wrond with it or the parent keys. I tried removing all apple products but ran into similar problems. At this time I still have Bonjour. Mobile Device Support, Software Update, and Application Support installed.These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
c. Perform the following actions
i. Right Click on Components Folder
ii. Select Permissions
iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
iv. Select Advanced Button
v. Select Owner Tab
vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
ix. Select Apply
x. Select Apply again
xi. Exit the Registry Editor
Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time? -
Hi, I'm a pc user and am trying to access an ical via the icloud. This ical houses information about work etc and it is quite important that I can gain access to it. To that end I have created an apple id and password and downloaded the icloud for the pc. However , when I get to the sign in page and use my apple id, I get a message to the effect that my apple id is ok, but its no good for an icloud account/ or I dont have an icloud account. I've trawled thru lots of help pages and nothing points me in the right direction. I've been on this for over 3 hours today and getting nowhere....Can somebody please help, I'm starting to lose the will to live over this
Steve,
Devizes
WiltshireYou must create the account using an Apple device, a Mac (Lion or greater) or an IOS device (IOS5 or greater). Having done that you will be able to sign in from your Windows machine.
FYI, iCal is an application that can display calendars from iCloud (and others) it is not a calendar itself, merely a calendar client. In Windows Outlook is the calendar client. -

I am site collection administrator and have configured the outgoing email in Central administration but "Access Request and invitations" link is missing, pl advice any additional configurations for this link to show up
I was though able to configure access requests by going to Site Settings->Users and permission and on the ribbon selected "Access Request Settings"
What is the difference in either of the approaches?
Thanks
AbhishekHi there,
I noticed this post, and didnt really find an appropriate solution to your issue. I noticed the same issue when dealing with Access Requests. First of all to make sure that the Request feature is enabled, you need to access
Site Settings -> Site Permissions -> Access Request Settings -> Make sure the
'Allow access requests' option is enabled.
The Allow access screen just allows you to enable the feature and also to specify a email address that notifications are sent to. Whereas the 'Access Requests and Invitations' section provides a screen to manage Access Requests and request history.
I noticed then that the Access Requests and Invitations link under 'User and Permissions' didnt actually appear until someone actually requests to join the site. It seems that this is needed to display the screen. Once actioned once, the option stays there.
Hope it helps -
I am in the final stages of a cross-forest migration. Users have Windows 7 workstations with redirected folders on a Windows Server 2012 box running in the old forest. User accounts were not migrated. The accounts in use have always
been in the "new" forest. One of our challenges was the large volume of data in redirected folders. I made sure users in the target forest had continued to have access to their redirected folders in the old forest and robocopied
the entire users share, copying the permissions with the files. By doing incremental robocopies, we can get a final copy done now in about six hours. The plan was simple: copy the files, do an incremental copy every night, on the night of the cutover
change the folder redirection policy Documents path from
\\oldserver\users\%USERNAME% to
\\newserver\users\%USERNAME%. The policy is configured to NOT copy user files from the existing folder to the new redirected folder. Everything was going well until I tested the policy change. After the folder redirection policy is updated
and applied, the user cannot access the private Documents folder. For example, user Chester Tester logs on as ctester. I open Windows Explorer and click the Documents shortcut. I see one subfolder, which is subfolder of Public Documents.
So I can look at Public Documents but when I click on the Documents folder (Under the Documents library link) I get an access denied error. Now for the kicker, if I open another Windows Explorer window and edit the address bar to
\\newserver\users\ctester, I can navigate the Documents folder tree and see my thousands of documents. What the ....?
I'm hoping this is something really simple to fix!
TIAHI Vivian,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, the path in Group Policy Folder Redirection Root Path was updated to
\\NEWSERVER\users. I had planned to point this to the distributed file system, so the first used was actually
\\domain\dfs\users. To simplify things I have backed off to copying to just a normal share
\\newserver\users.
We are using BASIC folder redirection and we create a folder for each user under the root path.
We did not want the policy to move content, as we were seeing users requiring 15-20 minute logon times (or higher) after the policy is changed.
Grant the User exclusive right to Documents - Disabled
Move the contents of Documents to the new location - Disabled
Related folder settings
Video - Follow Documents
Music - Follow Documents
Pictures - Follow Documents
Now when I change the folder redirection from old server to new server I now have TWO My Documents folders in the user's redirection folder on the server. The redirected Documents points to an empty folder set. The copied folders with all user
data are there, but folder redirection refuses to recognize the original folder.
I am looking at the full view of the folder, nothing hidden, so I'm wondering how a folder can have two subfolders with the exact same name. For now, I just want the redirection to move from the old server to the new server properly. I deleted
the new My Documents folder, rebooted the user's workstation and tried again. The behavior repeats itself, i.e., a new My Documents folder is always created when the redirection policy is changed from the old server to the new server. The environment
has about 1500 users with approximately 1.3TB of data in the redirected Documents folders. OUCH! -
Office 2010 & 2007 - Excel and Access File Locking Out On the Network With Multiple Users
This is also posted in the Office 2010 - IT Pro General Discussions, but was suggested to repost here, since a definitive answer was not found.
Hi,
An issue that's happening is that Excel and Access files are locking on the network. We're currently using Office 2007 and 2010.
Here are some different scenarios that are happening:
When opening the file it is locked out by “User X” which is the person that has the file locked out and no one else can open the file.
When opening the file it is locked out by “User Y” which is NOT the actual person, but is locked out by “User X” and no one else can access the file.
When opening the file it is locked out by “…another user” which is generic and no one else can access the file.
The two more common events are incident 1 and 2 with 3 happening the less common.
This message will continue until the sessions are closed through computer management on the file server.
The file server is running Windows Server 2003.
This does happen on both Windows XP and Windows 7 clients.
This does happen for users using Office 2007 and Office 2010.
There are two sets of Office 2010 Users when it comes to patches. Everyone has the most current patches with Office 2010 SP2 while anyone that has Microsoft Project 2010 is using all the current update before Office 2010 SP2.
All users that are using Office 2007 have all the current patches and service packs.
Another variable is that we have users that will leave a file open on the network for 3+ days and after a while it will lock the file out.
Also we have Shadow Copy that runs daily on the system which I'm not for sure if that impacts anything if a file is opening during that time.
Any ideas on how to mitigate the lock out issues would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Binary Process
Edit November 12, 2013: This issue can occur if and if not another person actually has the file open. If the person doesn't have the file open then there is a hung connection which needs to be disconnected by going to the Computer Management of the File
server.Hi Binary,
I know that the description of the hotfix does not relate to the issue. The purpose is to install it for upgrading SMB related file.
A similar issue I encountered before:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b7fcc59b-52d9-4a02-863a-1a529bcb8cb1/temp-doc-etc-files-dont-close-after-a-file-closes-this-causes-locked-files?forum=winserverfiles
It is resolved by upgrading SMB files so maybe it will help on your case.

I have a requirement to restrict the access of "InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx" and "InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx" pages for some of the users and allow the access for some of the users.
I have applied the below code on the web.config file but this modification impacting only on the web application level not on the site collection and sub site level.
<location path="_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
When I tried the access on
:<portno>/sites/<scname>/_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx">http://<servername>:<portno>/sites/<scname>/_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx page allowed the access for all users.
Please suggest the possible solution to restrict the access of "InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx" and "InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx" pages on SharePoint2013.
Thanks
RamasubbuYou can't do it from OOTB.
_layout folder is accessible to the users if they have read access in any of the site even subsite.
You can modify *.aspx file, add your custom control which will check user.

Customised Oracle application and access to roles and users...please advise
Hi Gurus!
We are developing a customised Oracle application where we have users and roles...user - role mapping is done in the system administration module of the application.
Now, we are also developing Oracle discoverer reports based on this. Using 10g (10.1.2.0.2) for that.
When I am creating an EUL, I select 'New EUL for Oracle Applications users only' option, but, I do not have any 'FND schema' to specify. That's where I'm stuck up!
I want to give access to the 'roles' in tha same manner as I would give to the 'responsibilities' in Oracle Apps. But, I don't know how to do it here.
Can someone guide me on this?
Thanks and regards,
AparnaHi Aparna
It would appear that you posted the same question on the Discoverer forum. Here is the answer that I posted there:
If your application is not E-Business Suite you cannot install Discoverer into Apps mode. This mode is reserved for applications which are E-Business Suite, which basically tells Discoverer to use authenticate users using the FND tables owned by the APPLSYS user.
In your case, even though you appear to be using Oracle applications, because you want to take advantage of your roles you will have to install Discoverer into standard mode. As you are creating your EUL you need to uncheck the box which says grant access to PUBLIC and make this a private EUL. Then you will not have the headache of worrying about setting up new users. You simply manage what a role can do (Tools | Privileges) and what a role has access to (Tools | Security).
Now, when any any user connects to Discoverer their role will be evaluated and access will be restricted.
You can do the same thing using a PUBLIC EUL, except you need to reduce what that user can do (Tools | Privileges) to an absolute minimum, and then take control of this using roles. For example, you could have a set of functional roles, one each for say AP, AR, GL and so on, but you could further break this down by privilege, thus you could have roles called AP Viewer, AP User, AR Viewer, AR User and so on. The User roles would have full access while the Viewer roles would have a much reduced set of privileges.
You are basically setting up the Library approach that I discuss in my Discoverer 10g Handbook and in my white paper which you will find on my downloads page here: http://learndiscoverer.com/downloads/downloads.htm.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

New Mac only 5 days old. Daughter accessed a movie website and now popups keep appearing and unable to access any other Internet sites without being redirected. Have deleted her as a user and then tried to restore to factory settings. I did something wrong and it is now doing an Internet recovery. Help I am completly lost and don't know what I am doing.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
