  Hi all
  We do not want an oem user to be used by several developer at the same time. Want to restrict the number of sessions to connect a user to oem. I tried sessions_per_user limited the backend for oem users, but it does not work.

  Satheesh,

  Unfortunately there is no implementation of the DB profile where neck defined the limit of session_per_user. So in fact, it won't work.

  I would say that the best way to get control over the number of developers connecting to the OEM, would create a custom for each developer account you allow access to OEM. Hereby, every developer would have his own account, which puts you in a much safer situation.

• Cannot set the password for user connection in Vista Home Basic

  My laptop (running Vista SP2) has no password on the user account. Guest account is disabled and my user account is administrator.

  I would like to add a password to secure my PC a little more by doing the following:
  AutoScan (Vista Orb) > Control Panel > user accounts > create a password for your account
  I enter a password to 10 characters. I tried more or less characters, a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers etc, but everything I try I get the following message:

  "The password you entered does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements"

  Any ideas what to do here? I tried searching online and through this forum but have been unable to find someone who had the same problem, and even less it is solved!

  I ran Microsoft Security Essentials software, choose scan "Full". The software found no viruses or malware on my computer, but he did put in quarantine RealVNC (software remote access we use occasionally to work).

  I have created a screenshots of system information (to show which operating system I use), the dialogue 'create password for your account' (to show that I am logged on as administrator and to make sure that I do not have the process wrong--always possible!) and the error message "user account control panel.

  Computer info here

  I also took a screenshot of the thing that MSE found after analysis is complete on my system.

  I solved this problem!

  The problem was caused by HP - something that was installed on my laptop security manager because I bought - I never used and had no idea he was running. I discovered this when I decided to upgrade my operating system to Windows 7. I was running a tool to check if the software I had installed is compatible for the upgrade; It turns out that the HP Security Manager is not compatible with W7, and when I uninstalled it I followed a hunch that it might interfere with my account - tried by adding a password and he succeeded!

  I was also able to install Sophos and it works properly now.

  I've always upgraded to Windows 7 in the end, but it was nice to be able to solve this problem (even if it took me Age to understand!) Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

• TMS 14.4 not send notice of end of the session for all Participants (ends)

  Greetings,

  I saw an old post and I thought that some clients may have a similar problem

  https://supportforums.Cisco.com/discussion/11450416/TMS-not-sending-Conference-ending-notification-TP-rooms#comment-10118276

  In our environment, TMS 14.4 will send notifications which will end the session master endpoint in a call.  It can receive one or more times.  Other endpoints can receive the message once or several times.  Older end points like the series MX (Gen1 or Gen2), or Jabber will not receive notifications.

  In general, it is configurable in the TMS regarding when notifications are sent.  But we found that the messages are sent in Control Panel (display) or the monitor.  If the control panel is a Cisco model, then the message is sent to the control panel.  If the model is non-Cisco (Crestron) then the message is sent to the monitor.

  You can imagine the reaction of the participants when the call ends.  They do not see the control panel for the notifications, but interaction with the call and the on-screen display.

  I thought that TMS may be able to use the "send the message to the system' in the browser part.  Is there an API, I can call and target the script sending of messages to endpoints?

  Thank you.

  TMS usually only send end endpoints conference notifications are managed by TMS, sort of endpoints Jabber like will not work with it without worrying.  Even in this case, the message get sent to one that is configured as the master of video conference.  What you see on the subject where the message is correct, and is by design.  I don't think that there is a way to display on the monitor, if a touch panel of Cisco is used.

  Have you looked at the following setting in TMS: Configuration > conference settings > show video warnings on the Conference ending?

  From 14.3 TMS, you can set it to send notifications to end conference to all the endpoints via the MCU or telepresence Server that hosts the Conference.  Given that it would send Conference ending notifications by the main video track, everyone would be able to see any endpoint is, and they use a Cisco touchscreen as well.  See the MSDS 14.3 release notes, middle of the pg 3 for more information.

• Tables of the database for users of Shared Services

  Hi all

  I'm discovering in the database tables, know when a user has been added as a group in Shared Services. This is for purposes of SOX. Can you let me know which database table, we need to check that we can get a timestamp date for added user?

  We use HFM 11.1.2.2 and Microsoft SQL server

  Thank you

  Steffi.

  Hey Steffi,

  I don't know any tables db HSS that contain this timestamp.  The CSS_GROUP_MEMBERS table lists groups/members, but no other information.  There are the timestamps for the CSS_USERS and CSS_GROUPS tables, but they show only when Aboriginal users/groups have been created and updated.

  The best way to record this information for your next audit would be to enable auditing of Shared Services.  To do this:

  • HSS > Administration > configure audit
  • Enable audit value
  • Select the items that you want to audit (Directory Management has elements such as 'Assign the user as a member of the group' and 'Remove user as a member of the group'
  • Restart the Services

  Thank you

  -Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the parms of initialized with default values. Find out about each of them (shown in your alerts log) in the reference manual.
  -Take a look at your sqlnet.ora, listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files. Go to the manual of network administrators and ask about what you see in these files.
  - When you have finished reading the guide to Concepts, do it again.

• Shoot/Get/the data value of the window for user input

  I'm trying to do something that should be simple enough for a programmer, but unfortunately, unfortunately to be a designer, I'm having a devil of a time with it.  After spending hours searching and trying different things, I thought to post the problem.  I have the feeling that I'm not the first creator of evil with it.

  I'm trying to extract a window input data and to transmit it to a variable.  In the script, I do a few purge(), and I don't know if that clears the values of input from the user during the script, but it's thinking ahead...

  I need the values to:

  Layer.translate (X, Y) / / if I'm wrong, it must be not - string

  bitsaveoptions. Method = ChanelScreen; in menu drop-down

  bitsaveoptions.angle = KAngle / / if I am mistaken, this must not be one - integer

  bitsaveoptions. Frequency = ChanelFrequency; If I am mistaken, this must not be one - integer

  bitsaveoptions. Resolution = ChanelResolution; If I am mistaken, this must not be one - integer

  bitsaveoptions. Shape = BitmapHalfToneType.ROUND; in menu drop-down

  I know that there are different ways to retrieve data from a window how .value, and perhaps others, but I can't seem to extract the data from user input

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

• For the update for user in OIM11g

  Hello...
  
  To update a field (email ID) of a user learned about the following steps.
  1. change email IOM profile identification and save the user form
  2 IOM then checks compared to Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS searching for a task name that is mapped to the Email field - typically "change Email".
  3. Add a task in the name of the process of the supply of the system target like "change Email".
  4. now write code using the IOM API that will update the Email field of the target form system configuration process with the new Email ID.
  5. connect this adapter in change Email' task.
  6. then when the form of courses is updated that triggers a process task to update the Email for that given resources - "E-mail update"
  
  May I know what APIs are to be used for step 4 so that the update can take place of IOM form of process for the target system.
  
  Thank you.

  Just copy adapter that reads the user profile data and the copy to treat the form field.
  Not for Oracle:

  (1) assume a created a UDF: UDF USR_UDF_BUS_PHONE phone number called 'Phone number' form field users user defined in the Console Design

  (2) then double-click "Définition Lookup" under the tree of the Administration Console Design and query that this code "Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS".

  (3) add "Information of Code Lookup" like that.

  (i) enter the UDF column, created in step 1 for Code key as USR_UDF_BUS_PHONE
  (II) enter the word "Change" without the quotes, followed by the name of the field in the column UDF created in the column of Decode. So in this case decoding is "Change phone number" without the quotes
  (III) language: en
  (IV) country: U.S.

  (4) then create a task in process of type adapter
  (i) move to the tab list of Variable and create a variable 'var1' resolve at run time.
  task logic II) Add-> DEFINE the VARIABLE and click on continue
  (III) in the Add Set parameter Variable of the task dialog box, select return value of adapter in the drop-down variable name, Type of the operand as a Variable, the qualifier operand-> 'var1' created in 4i).

  (5) add a process task under the definition of process of the resource object in Design Console called "Change phone number" without the quotes. Note: The name of the task must be
  exactly even decode the value in the choice list definitions and then make it conditional and also check "allow multiple Instances".

  ((6) in the tab 'Integration' of the task add the adapter, you created in 4) then map it on the variables of the adapter.
  (i) card adapter return Variable to process the data, and then select the form field in process (example: UD_ADUSER_PHONE) that you want to update with field of Business USR_UDF_BUS_PHONE of the user's phone.
  (II) then map the other variable of the adapter to the definition of the user-> field of Business USR_UDF_BUS_PHONE of the user's phone card.

  Result: Now when business phone is updated, business phone user change will trigger in and inserted to this resource and copy the profile to your process change. If the connector already has the task of process 'Affairs updated phone' in the definition of process that has an adapter to update the target and then due to the update to business phone in the form of process, the 'Business phone day' task will be triggered and target will also be updated with the new change.
