We have several processes which generate temporary references in the form
"TMPxxxx" where x is a digit. These appear to be used for session
temporary file names, and for keys in the usrw_wkfl table. I¹m not sure if
these are generated by QAD (MFG/Pro), or Progress, or just by the individual
programs.
A colleague has suggested they come from Progress/Openedge, but I can't find
anything in the documentation, or any references on the web either for QAD
or Progress, hence this question.
If there is a standard process within Progress/Openedge or QAD for this could
somebody point me in the right direction please?
Thanks!
TMPxxxx session id is created by QAD(MFG/PRO) an ERP application.
There is an Security control menu item (mostly menu number: 36.3.24) in MFG/PRO (QAD) and field that name is "Session ID Prefix".
It's used for temporary system-generated work file (creation when login, deletion when logout). Exp: qad_wkfl, sr_wkfl and some file creation in temp directory.
You can monitor users who get TMP id for which session.
for each mon_mstr no-lock:
display
mon_userid column-label "Mfg/Pro User ID"
mon_program column-label "Mfg/Pro Program Name"
mon_sid column-label "Mfg/Pro Temp Session Id"
mon__qadi01 column-label "Progress Session Id".
end.
Maybe too late but I hope this will help you
OpenEdge creates various temporary files while the session is active. Each file has a 3-character prefix followed by a random number. The different prefixes are:
dbi: Stores temporary tables
lbi: Local before-image file (subtransaction undo)
ped: Edit buffer contents
rcd: Cache of r-code being run in a session
srt: Temporary sort space; session compile storage
trp: Stores Data Dictionary changes until they are saved
Sometimes the random number is the process ID of the Progress session, but not always. The location of these files can be controlled with the -T startup parameter.
Here is a Progress knowledge base article about the temp files:

I am trying to create a program to automatically download the attached files that are sent to us from a certain email and then transform the delimiter with SAS, of those csv that are attached to us and pass those csv through a flow that I have already created.
I have managed to create a program that treats the csv as I want and the delimiter that I want, the problem is that when it comes to automating the download of files from Outlook it does not work.
What I have done is create a rule with the following VB code that I found on the internet:
Public Sub SaveAttachmentsToDisk(MItem As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim sSaveFolder As String
sSaveFolder = "C:\Users\ES010246\Desktop"
For Each oAttachment In MItem.Attachments
oAttachment.SaveAsFile sSaveFolder & oAttachment.DisplayName
Next
End Sub
I have changed the path to my personal path where i want the files are downloaded.
website: https://es.extendoffice.com/documents/outlook/3747-outlook
The problem is that this code does not work for me, it does absolutely nothing for me and no matter how much I search the internet, only this code appears.
Is there any other way to do with SAS what I want? What is it to automatically download 8 csv files sent to me by Outlook, or has someone experienced the same thing as me with VBA?
I have followed all the steps about 7 times so I think the error is not in copying the code or selecting certain options wrong, in fact I had copied and pasted the code and later I modified the path where I wanted those to be saved. files but it doesn't work, does anyone know why?
I will be tremendously grateful, thank you very much for everything!
First of all, you need to make sure the file name and path doesn't include forbidden symbols.
The VBA macro used for a rule in Outlook is absolutely valid except that a mail item may contain the attached files with the same name, so a file saved to the disk may be overwritten (saved with the same name). That's why I'd suggest generating a file name with your own unique IDs making sure that DisplayName property is not empty and has a valid name what can be used for file names (exclude forbidden symbols).
Also you may consider handling the NewMailEx event of the Application class which is fired when a new message arrives in the Inbox and before client rule processing occurs. Use the Entry ID returned in the EntryIDCollection string to call the NameSpace.GetItemFromID method and process the item. This event fires once for every received item that is processed by Microsoft Outlook. The item can be one of several different item types, for example, MailItem, MeetingItem, or SharingItem.
The Items.ItemAdd event can be helpful when items are moved to a folder (from Inbox). This event does not run when a large number of items are added to the folder at once.
I know how to add or remove a store with PowerShell using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, but I haven't found any information about changing values.
I read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.namespace#methods but I don't see a method available for setting properties.
Context: User's PST files have been moved from one path to another. I'm trying to avoid disruption wherever possible, so I'm writing a PS script to move the PST files, and then update Outlook with the new path.
Since removing and re-adding the stores will break user-defined stuff like rules, I'm hoping for a way to change existing store filepaths that will require no user action.
Is this possible at all?
As a second option, can I pull the existing rules, and modify them (or recreate them)?
PST store entry id embeds the PST path in it (you can see it in OutlookSpy - I am its author - click IMessage / IMAPIFolder / IMsgStore button, select PR_STORE_ENTRYID, click "..." next to the Value edit box).
If a rule includes a store id (e.g. copy / move message action), you would need to reset / recreate the rule.
I you don't want to remove / add a store, can reset the store location using ProfMan library (I am also its author) directly in the profile section in the registry. See https://www.dimastr.com/redemption/profman_examples.htm#example2 for an example on how to read PST paths. You can modify the script to set the path instead.
I know cleaning cache will work because tables are cached. But a certain line in my script causing problems here is the content. Please help me understand the line highlighted in bold.
// create table
CREATE CACHED TABLE JMS_MESSAGES(MESSAGEID INTEGER NOT NULL,DESTINATION VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,TXID INTEGER,TXOP CHAR(1),MESSAGEBLOB OBJECT,PRIMARY KEY(MESSAGEID,DESTINATION))
// create indexes
CREATE INDEX JMS_MESSAGES_TXOP_TXID ON JMS_MESSAGES(TXOP,TXID)
CREATE INDEX JMS_MESSAGES_DESTINATION ON JMS_MESSAGES(DESTINATION)
// what is it doing? because this line makes it hang
SET TABLE JMS_MESSAGES INDEX'3883576 3883576 3883576 0'
Please let me know what this line does so I can debug this script. On production we are using Jboss 4.0.4 and don't often clear tmp/work often and reboot system every Sunday.
Simply delete the line reported in bold and save the .script file with no other change.
The purpose of the line is to link to the data in the .data file. As this is a message cache that is no longer valid, there should be no data there.
our test server was hacked and they installed a ransomware (Cry36) for which there is no solution to date. We also didn't keep any snapshots up to date (lesion learned).
Since it's only a test server, i am not too worried. But we had stored in our Firebird DB (v2.5) a bunch of work which i would like to save.
Looking at the database in a hex editor, i can see that the data is encrypted up until offset 00006430.
Looking at the structure of the firebird database it says that all the headers are encrypted (Header page, PIP,..., Data page).
All the data is still there.
I've tryed with gfix and even copying the headers from an older version of the db. But while it does fix the db, the headers are wrong and most of the new pages are removed.
Does anyone have any idea how to restore the database or extract the tables?
Regards
I have used this method restoring ransomware files encrypted on hard drives from any ransomware by renaming the file in question back to its original filename and extension. You may be able to apply the same method to revert the data or database back to the pre-encrypted version of the file/s or data/bases.
From my testing:
the ransomed file = is compressed and or simply renamed, the encryption is either not applied actually but only implied or the containing file or renamed file is encrypted but the original file is never touched. Simply rename back to original and you can access the file as you could be for the attack. Example:
This is the Ransomed file:
Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.20.zip.id[42AF04FF-2275].[supportcrypt2019#cock.li].Adame
This is the Ransomed file, renamed and fixed:
Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.20.zip
The removed portion of the FileName is:
.id[42AF04FF-2275].[supportcrypt2019#cock.li].Adame
Upon renaming the file, you will be prompted for approval to change the application type/ file type for which the file will be opened (Back to its original state), and what application will open it (its original designation as determined by the FileType preset after the FileName. The reason the file doesn't work when ransomed is the final file extension renaming scheme, whereas in this case .ADAME is not a real file type, but made up, and no program will or can open it. Thus, the file can not be opened as named.
You would need to do this for each file individually, could you post more information on the database file and encryption information as this should work for you as well. The Ransom Methodology should be the same. I can not identify the naming scheme used on your system without more information pertaining to unusual or new/unidentified portions of code injected throughout your instance.
For Renaming multiple files you could try an application such as "Advanced Renamer" for bulk processing.
I have specific problem. I need to extract domain names from active directory and combine them with employees numbers which are in Lotus Notes. I get the domain names with Get-QADUser (snapin from quest.com), that was no problem, but how to get the employees numbers and combine them? Thank you
Edit(18.5. 11:56): Now I'm using this script (posted by Christian) and I figured out how to get the name of LN database - right-click on DB in Lotus notes workspace, then application/properties.
# Create LN Object
$DomSession = New-Object -ComObject Lotus.NotesSession
# Initialize LN Object
# You'll be asking for LN password to your id
$DomSession.Initialize()
# Connect to Server, select db and display the name
$DomDatabase = $DomSession.GetDatabase("LN007","IT\HW.nsf")
Write-Host "Database open : " $DomDatabase.Title
# Open specific View (By Serial Number)
$DomView = $DomDatabase.GetView('Serial Number')
Write-Host "View read : " $DomView.Name
# Show number of documents
$DomNumOfDocs = $DomView.AllEntries.Count
Write-Host "Num of Docs : " $DomNumOfDocs
# Get First Document in the View
$DomDoc = $DomView.GetFirstDocument()
If you have access to the database and a Notes client, you can open the database in Notes Designer and review what views are available. You should then be able to find one or create one that contains the data you need.
If you don't have access to Lotus Notes, you're close enough with your powershell script that you can use the com API to get the information. The NotesDatabase object (i.e. $DomDatabase) has a Views property which will return NotesView objects. You can iterate over those and print out the names as a start. Likewise once you've found the view you want, you can access the columns within that view using the NotesView's Columns property.
You'll want to check out the COM api docs here for more help: http://blagoevgrad.court-bg.org/help/help85_designer.nsf/Main?OpenFrameSet (see the section LotusScript/COM/OLE Classes)
Depending on how comfortable you are with Powershell vs the com api, you could probably handle this a few ways, either by extracting all the documents in the view and getting the data out, or perhaps using the built in NotesView.GetDocumentByKey method that would act as a lookup in your script. With a view sorted on the key you're querying on (and set as your view's first column), you could call that method and get back the document with that key. Then use that NotesDocument object to retrieve any value within it (i.e. the employee name or number or whatever)
You can retrieve data from Lotus Notes using com object.

Is the database you are opening called "names.nsf" by any chance? If so, that's the standard Domino Directory database and you should be using the "People" view, and the item name you are looking for should be "EmployeeID" -- unless the customer has customized the database with their own field names.
If it is a custom database you are working with, then in addition to using the Notes client and Domino Designer, get yourself a copy of NotesPeek. It's free. Download here
It gives you a tree view of the database. It shows you everything that is stored in the database -- but it only shows you what is stored, so computed fields that you can see in the Notes client but aren't accessible through the Notes classes won't confuse you. (The document properties dialog in the Notes client won't show you computed values either if you use it while you have a document selected in a view, but it will show them to you if you use while you have a document actually open.)
