When do simple parenthetical grouping matter in PowerShell code?
When do simple parenthetical grouping matter in PowerShell code?
Here's one example when using parenthesis matters (thanks to Boe Prox for inspiring this example):
<#c:#> 'abc' >xo
<#c:#> gc xo | set-content xo
set-content : The process cannot access the file 'C:\users\larry\documents\windowspowershell\xo' because it is b
used by another process.
At line:1 char:9
+ gc xo | set-content xo
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-Content], IOException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.IO.IOException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetContentCommand
<#c:#> 'abc' >xo
<#c:#> (gc xo) | set-content xo
<#c:#> type xo
abc
Here's an example of arithmetic expression evaluation and added parenthesis
<#c:#> 10*100+1000
2000
<#c:#> 10*(100+1000)
11000
<#c:#>
Are there other coding examples using PowerShell where adding parenthesis changes the semantics of a statement?
Hi Larry,
In addition,I also find an explanation from other forum may be helpful for you:
In powershell certain types of expressions, when used as statements, are not displayed. Voidable statements include assignments and the increment/decrement operators. When they are used in an expression, they return a value, but when they’re used as a standalone
statement, they return no value. It is very well explained in Windows Powershell in Action by Bruce Payette.
The increment and decrement operators were almost not included in PowerShell because they introduced a problem. In languages such as C and C#, when you use one of these operators as a statement: $a++ nothing is displayed. This is because statements
in C and C# don’t return values. In PowerShell, however, all statements return a value. This led to confusion. People would write scripts like this:
$sum=0
$i=0
while ($i -lt 10) { $sum += $i; $i++ }
$sum
and be surprised to see the numbers 1 through 10 displayed. This was because $a++ returned a value and PowerShell was displaying the results of every statement. This was so confusing that we almost removed these operators from the language. Then
we hit on the idea of a voidable statement. Basically, this means that certain types of expressions, when used as statements, are not displayed. Voidable statements include assignments and the increment/decrement operators. When they are used in an expression,
they return a value, but when they’re used as a standalone statement, they return no value. Again, this is one of those details that won’t affect how you use PowerShell other than to make it work as you expect. (source: Windows Powershell in Action).

There is a weird thing going on with my group text messages; at least I think it's weird. I was recently arranging a party, and sent a group text out to all of my friends from my iPhone 4s. When people responded to me about their availability, everyone on my initial list also got that response. The responder assumed they were only texting me, so they had no idea they were texting everyone! Luckily, nobody sent a reply like, "I won't come because that fat cow Josie is going to be there," but they could have.
Is there any way to make it so when people respond to me it is not a reply all?

Thanks for the question. You can actually configure this behavior from Mail preferences:
1. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
2. Click Composing.
3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses".
When you send an email to the group, only the groups name will be seen.

When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

WebDynpro Table Simple Row Group
Hello.
How to create a table Grid with simple Row Group with this structure ?
COMPANY | CONTACTS
Cp1 John
Jimmy
Michael
Cp2 | Louis
Taylor

Cp3 | Dave
Kelly
Harry
Is not a Tree view in Table ...I need only grouped rows expanded in a table.
Thanks in Advance.
Taylor
Edited by: Taylor on Jul 29, 2010 10:56 AMHi Taylor,
Try This:
1.Create a Context node with Following Structure:
TableNode
__Attr1
__Attr2
|__Attr3
You'll have the number of attributes based on your requirement
Fill the elements in the node.
Here we want to group the rows based on Attr1 value
2.Create a table with DataSource = TableNode
3.Add a TableColumnGroup in the table Say TableColumnGroup1.
4.Add 3 ( 3 in this example otherwise based on your requirement) columns say Colum1,Column2,Column3 in this Grouped column with TableCellEditors' values bound to the attributes in the TableNode respectively.
5.Select the Column1 (column used for Attr1) and bind its groupingValue propety to TableNode->Attr1
When you deploy, it will display the rows Grouped by the Value in Attr1.

Not all emails are showing up when using a contact group
Hi,
I haven't seen a similar question posted to the forum, so hopefully someone can help me.
I have a MBP running Mavericks 10.9.5 and I'm trying to create a contact group to expedite emails. I've created the group in my mac's contact app, however when I select the group to email (regardless of if I select "send email to..." in contacts or do a search for the group directly in the To: line of the email) only 2 of the 6 contacts in the group show up.
Some troubleshooting I've already tried: adding the same group to all the accounts in the contacts app (i.e. iCloud, On My Mac and my personal email account); verifying there's only one email address shown in each of the individual contact cards; switching all the email address labels from "email" to "home" in each contact person's card; and the classic restart.
It's always the same 2 contacts of the 6 that show up, so I'm assuming there must be something those two have the the others don't. I appreciate any ideas on what else to try.
Thanks!Thanks. I had the first row colored as a header but it wasn't defined as a header. As soon as I did that within Numbers the table appeared.

I have Sharepoint Foundation installed with the latest CU updates. It is running on a VMware box (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) with its backend on a SQL Server 2008 R2 vmware box. The farm account is a domain user and has been given all appropriate
replication rights, etc to active directory.
Everything seems to be working fine except for security integrated with AD groups. When I go to edit permissions I can add individual AD users just fine and remove them just fine and their access is taken away right away or given to them right away.
I can also find AD groups in the people picker and add them to the site. When I add new groups to AD, they are found immediately within Sharepoint, and when I delete groups from AD, they are taken out of the people picker right away. Now comes
the weird part. When I add an AD group to the site, all users currently within that AD group are given access to the Sharepoint Site. This works for the first time only. Now when I add or remove users from the AD groups, it does not update
in SharePoint. For example, I have an AD testuser1 in the AD Group "All Users". testuser1 does not have access to SharePoint. So I add the AD group to the Sharepoint group "Visitors". testuser1 now has read access to the sharepoint
site. Now, I remove testuser1 from the AD group, but testuser 1 still has access to the site even though he is not part of the AD group, nor does he have any individual permissions to the site. Now, I add testuser2 to the ad group. testuser2
does not have access to the site, even though he is part of the ad group.
It seems that the only time AD group security is working for me is when I first initially add the AD group to the site. From then on, it's like sharepoint is caching the members of the group and not updating any new adds or deletes from the groups.
Any ideas? I am lost on where to go from here as I have tried everything from clearing cache files, rebooting servers, iisresets....I think I have at least cornered the problem, but am not 100% sure yet that it is the correct answer. I think it could be 1 of the following 2 scenarios.
Scenario 1: We have 3 web applications setup on our web server ports 80 - Our sharepoint Web app, 2020 - Our My Site Web App, 2040 - Our Search Web app. We are using host headers (http://sharepoint.***.com) instead of a server name. So
we setup our access mappings (Central Admin -> Application Management -> Configure Alternate access mappings) to use the host header (http://sharepoint.***.com) as the default mapping and the server name as the intranet access mapping. By
setting the default access mapping to host headers, i noticed that Sharepoint automatically assumes that all web apps are on port 80. You can see this by going to (Central Admin -> Manage Web Applications). The port listed all 3 web apps on
port 80. So I think when I was doing a profile sync and using mysites, it was messing with my AD security because of this. What I did was the following. I went to Central Admin -> Manage Service Applications -> [Name of your user profile
service] -> Setup my sites. I made sure that my preferred search center had the correct port number on it (mine originally had no port number), that my my site host had a port (again no port number originally), as well as the personal site location.
I then saved this.
Scenario 2: Our user profile sync had 2 BDC connections that were corrupt and throwing errors. I rebuilt the connections, remapped them to the proper user profile property.
I did both of these scenarios above around the same time. I then restarted all my servers, and at last the AD Group security is now functioning appropriately. I have done multiple IIS resets and server restarts. The issue has only reappeared
once. After restarting the machine again, we were back to the AD groups functioning correctly. Because we had the issue reappear once after doing the above, I still do not feel 100% sure that either one of the above corrected the issue completely.
As long as we are up and running currently, I am moving on to other tasks with this project. My only concern that it will break again and I will have to revisit it is when we restart the servers....which is never fun. I will update as I find
a "true" answer to this issue.... Let me know if any of the above helped you or if you find something I may not have thought of. -
Runtime Error when creating a new group
I'm getting a runtime error when creating a new group on a site collection?
Thanks in advanceThe most possible reason is if your site collection is reached the maximum site quota limit,then there is chance to get the run time error while creating a new group.
In this case,you will get the error while creating/updating the group or while adding the new user/uploading any content.
Also Ensure the group name is not having any special/unsupported characters.
Feel free to share the error screenshot/entry in the ULS logs.

When I send a group txt and one of the reciepients replies it creates a new message. How do I keep all the replies in the same message?
If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/EBlast.html
This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

When I ungroup a group, it disappears only to be found on another page
When I ungroup a group, it disappears only to be found on another page (I assume it is the page I grouped it on).
This has only just started happening. Is it an update, or a preference I have changed?@Lkretschmar – you assumed right.
The ungrouped objects are on the same spread where you once grouped them, if:
1. The new feature "Ungroup Remembers Layers" is checked while ungrouping
2. You dragged the group from spread to spread
3. You dragged-duplicated the group from spread to spread
Note 1: Copy/paste a group to a different spread will not invoke the bug.
Note 2: The menu item "Ungroup Remembers Layers" lives in the Layers Panel. It is checked by default.
InDesign CC 2014.2 v10.2.0.69
See here:
Updated ID CC 2014 with Feb 2015 release, ungrouping objects causes them to vanish
It's a known issue.
However the section "Known issues" in Release Notes need an update, I think:

Users getting disconnected when the sap cluster group failover happens.
Hello all,
We have done the HA installation on mysaperp2005(ecc6.0).
The failover groups are sapcluster group(ascs+scs instance) and the Database(DB group).The central and the dialog instances are installed locally and do not form the part of the cluster.
When ever the sapcluster group failover to the second node.The users gets disconnected and need to login again.
How can we configure the nodes so that the users do not get disconnected during the failover of the sap groups and the users are not disturbed.
thanks
satyajitHi Satyajit,
This is exactly the reason why it is called High Availability and not Full Availability.
When the node where Database runs fails, the memory structure (Instance) associated with the Database is lost and needs to be restarted on the other node. This means that all the transactions which have not been commited to the database needs to be rolled back. Hence the users doing insert/updates into the database will be disconnected from the System.
While the database is unavailable the Work processes go into a restart mode wherein they wait for the DB to come up again and keep pining it.
Database becomes available again after the Instance is started on the other node with Instance recovery and the users can connect back. Work processes recognize that the database is available and everything is back to normal.
In case of Central Instance (enqueue) failover, the lock information is lost and hence again the transactions need to be rolled back hence the users will be disconnected if they are doing an Insert/Update into the System. System becomes available once the Enqueue service is made available again after the failover.
So in either case there will be user disconnects as HA doesnot cover the memory structure failovers.
Hope this clears it up for you.
Thanks and Best Regards,

Exclude partners when saving the target group
Hi experts!!
I have the following requirement: i need to automatically exlude some contacts (e.g. blocked contacts) when creating a target group.
Is there any BADI or other exit which is called "on save" of the target group???
Thank you in advance!!!Hi,
you could also try to build up a Segmentation Basis containing all the partners that can potentially be included in your Target Group. But for low volume segmentation this can get very performance critical if the Segmentation Basis contains many partners.
I don't believe there is a possibility to directly exclude them when generating the Target Group

Crystal Reports XI R2 Server problem when trying to load groups from LDAP
Hi,
I'm using Crystal Reports XI R2 SP4 on RedHat Linux. My users are being authorized through LDAP (OID). My problem is that after removing all groups (right now no groups/users are visible in CMC) in CMC Authentication tool and then trying to add them again I'm receiving following error:
"LDAP: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder."
I've checked connectivity to LDAP server and it's ok. Could it be connected to CMS problems/corruption? Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
MarcinThe only personal folders visible from under Admin panel are for users Administrator and Guest. I've tried to query CMS tables but these store entries not in plain text so I cannot identify entries connected to personal folders. I have also tried to do this via Query Repository tool but all returned entries were ok.
I have also noticed that when trying to load group from LDAP after it returns error "LDAP: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder." entry for this group is created in CMS table. Also this group is then visible in admin Groups panel. No users are created with the group and when I'm trying to list users belonging to added group it returns "internal secLDAP security plug-in error" but without any other suggestion what went wrong. -
System error: Error when copying parameter function group CR01
Dear friends
I am getting the above error while doing the Backflushing in REM.
It occurs when backflushed quantity is issued ,and while confirming the
ACTUAL ACTIVITES above error occurs..........
We have upgrade the system from SAP 4.7 to ECC6.0.
It is giving some error in CRM system but we don't have CRM system.......
Message displayed is as below..................
System error: Error when copying parameter function group CR01
Message no. CR085
Diagnosis
Internal error.
Procedure
Repeat the transaction.
If the error occurs and you have a CRM System connected to your ERP
System, the document may have been archived in the CRM System.
If the error occurs again, inform your system administrator. If the
error cannot be corrected, call the SAP Hotline directly. Describe which
steps preceeded the error.
Thanks& Regards

Sandeep BhowmickHi Sandeep
Standard R/3 does not allow backflush without any operation. You need to have an operation to do a backflush.Error message CR 085 is issued because there is no operation in the routing of the material backflushed. System should issue an error when no operations are found in routing. Although, error message CR 085 is not correct, more appropriate message RM 824 for this a program correction is requried check note (691161).
