Distribute using local server

I created a form that I want to distribute and collect responses using a local server. However it is defaulting to distributing and collecting responses using email . Any ideas how to change this?

Hi,
>> I created a form that I want to distribute ...
Alternatively, you could embed the code in to your web page, is this what you are looking for?
Open the form and select Distribute Tab/Embed button and copy the code and paste it in your html web page. You will then have the form embedded into your web page.
>>and collect responses using a local server.
The resonses will be collected via the adobe server. Sorry we do not support collecting responses on a local server.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Lucia

Use local server as gateway for gmail

We use a single email ID for around 15 employees and the same is presently configured on Google apps.
Currently, each of them logs into google apps on their own PCs. I would like to use the Windows Server 2012 R2 that I'm setting up, as a file server, as some sort of gateway which could download mails (like a mirror) from Google's servers and then each employee
can access this local copy through Microsoft Outlook on their PCs. This would result in two benefits.
1. Gmail would not exceed the usage limit and also there would be a local backup of all mails received.
2. Lower consumption of bandwidth.
In the longer run, I can ban gmail access across the network effectively banning access to personal emails at work.

To do that you'd need to install an email server on that box, which could then be configured to collect the email from Gmail via POP3 to the server from where your users can collect it over the local network.
Depending on the functionality you required there are a number of email server applications out there, but for full functionality (eg full use of contacts, calendars, mail stored on the server for backups etc) you'd probably need to look at Exchange
Server. Unfortunately MS no longer include Exchange in any of their SBS variants so you'd need to install it separately. Also be aware that if you didn't already have on you'd need to configure your network to be part of a domain, so one of your servers would
need to be a domain controller, and crucially you can't install Exchange Server on the same box as you're running AD, so you'd need at least two servers.
If you simply want to effectively allow your client machines to access their email via POP3 / IMAP like they do now, with no additional functionality than you have at present then a different email solution may be better. There are quite a few options out
there, for instance hMailServer which I've used in the past (though not for your exact situation), so it's just a matter of having a look and finding one which does what you need.

External programs get error 1006 using local server name

I have a brand new Solution Manager EHP1 installation on Windows 2003sp2/SQL.
The installation succeeded ok, but I cannot configure STMS.
The reason appears to be that external commands (i.e. tp) are not working correctly.
If I execute in SM49 the external command 'ENV' and use the default host, it fails with error 1006
If I specify the target host and use the 'short' name of the host, e.g. SAPSMT it fails with the same error
If I specify the target host and use the fqdn of the host e.g. SAPSMT.saproot.local it works ok.
If I specify the target host as 'localhost' it also works ok.
The 'HOSTNAME' command responds with SAPSMT
There is only a single NIC, so its not anything to do with multiple NICs.
I'm running the latest kernel and sapxpg now and it still acts the same.
Type 3 RFC destinations to SAPSMT work ok.
I can't really get anything else to fail: just external commands with the short name (or default) as the target.
Has anyone seen this before and have a solution or workaround?
I am almost sure it will be a windows configuration problem, but I can't see what it could be.
Thanks, Andy.

Hi Pradi,
there are no entries in the HOSTS file related to this.
I do think this is the right area: here is the output of niping, which is suggesting that the address lookup of the ip address goes to the fully qualified domain name rather than the hostname.
E:\usr\sap\SMT\DVEBMGS00\exe>niping -v -H SAPSMT
Hostname/Nodeaddr verification:
===============================
Hostname of local computer: SAPSMT                        (NiMyHostName)
Lookup of hostname: SAPSMT                                (NiHostToAddr)
    --> IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36
Lookup of IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36                         (NiAddrToHost)
    --> Hostname: SAPSMT.saproot.local
Lookup of hostname: SAPSMT                                (NiHostToAddr)
    --> IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36
Lookup of IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36                         (NiAddrToHost)
    --> Hostname: SAPSMT.saproot.local
If I add the hostname SAPSMT to the hosts file (together with the alias as you suggested), it then gives:
E:\usr\sap\SMT\DVEBMGS00\exe>niping -v -H SAPSMT
Hostname/Nodeaddr verification:
===============================
Hostname of local computer: SAPSMT                        (NiMyHostName)
Lookup of hostname: SAPSMT                                (NiHostToAddr)
    --> IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36
Lookup of IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36                         (NiAddrToHost)
    --> Hostname: SAPSMT
Lookup of hostname: SAPSMT                                (NiHostToAddr)
    --> IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36
Lookup of IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36                         (NiAddrToHost)
    --> Hostname: SAPSMT
However, having made this change and restarted, I still get the problem.
Thanks for the help, by the way.

Using Local Server

This is confusing. When I did the test emails at work they were fine. All emails and form data were sent and received. When I got home and tried the same experiment I got:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 Access denied - Invalid HELO name (See RFC2821 4.1.1.1) in C:\xampp\htdocs\newland\messageSent.php on line 2
I checked my page code at home and also at the office and they are identical.
Office Code:
<?
mail('[email protected]','This is the message subject','This is the message body.');
?>
Home Code:
<?
mail('[email protected]','This is the message subject','This is the message body.');
?>
I then checked both PHP.ini files and they’re identical:
Php.ini file from office:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = mail.mail.co.uk
http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = [email protected]
php.ini at home:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = mail.mail.co.uk
http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = [email protected]
I can send and receive emails on my computer at home OK. The only difference between my office computer and home computer is the office computer has windows xp professional installed and my home computer has windows 7 home professional.
Anyone help?

You might edit your home php.ini file to reflect this after you make a backup copy of it:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
Jim
Edited: Before doing the above, try this if it is applicable:
The issue is due to your email client not configured correctly. Here are some remedy steps.
Double check your email setting to ensure the following settings has been made.
Microsoft Outlook
1. From the Menu Bar, Click Tools then Click E-mail Accounts
2. Select "View or change existing e-mail accounts" then Click "Next"
3. Select your Email account then Click "Change"
4. Click "More settings"
5. Select "Outgoing Server" tab
6. Tick "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication"
7. Select "Use same settings as my incoming email server"
8. Click "Ok"
9. Click "Next"
10. Click "Finish"
Once you have completed the above mentioned steps, close your Outlook and try sending again.

How to set up local server to use a remote server for login authentication?

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
We are trying to set up a "sub-network" (dont' know if this is the right terminology) using a 10.4 Server OS, to manage a set of clients... the trick is that the client login/home directory information is on a different remote server, and shall remain there, for the most part.
To make it easy to understand here's the environment:
*Local Server:* 10.4 G4 Server Quicksilver 1G dual--we have total control of this one
*Main/remote server:* 10.5 Xserve.. don't know which vintage--we have very very very little input on this machine.. effectively at the mercy of the sysadmin of this system who is very conservative in changing anything (hence the need for a separate server to install applications and client machine-specific profiles, etc since the Xserve admin refuses do it). This serves MacBooks/MacBookPros and few iMacs. (no Windows PC.. as that group of comptuers have their own server)
client: ~20 eMacs/iBooks all running 10.4.
use environment: elementary school-->very low network demand (no e-mail, just running local apps linking to server(s) for licensing and login, and some file saving small files on remote server, user preferences, etc).
The remote server (the Xserve) has all the login authentication, as well as the home directories. every school year, the directories get updated as new students enroll and old students graduate. Currently all the clients are directly linked to the Xserve via LDAP while we bring the local server on-line.
the local sever (our G4 Quicksilver) will have few network applications that will support the client machines. We also will be setting up computer accounts and groups for our clients so that we can properly set their environments (the Xserve admin will not do this on the Xserve, so currently all the clients are connecting to the server as a "guest computer" from what little I understand watching what was done)
now, what is the best way to approach this type of set up with minimal "inconvenience" of the Xserve admin?
I am pretty experienced with standalone UNIX and macOS X administration, but a novice to this whole Server and network setup thing. Any suggestions, instructions, pointers to URLs with how-tos is much appreciated. I am not afraid to use Terminal (grew up on UNIX before GUI), etc., and willing to try safe but unconventional setups if that is what's needed...
thanks for any help!

Oh never mind.... I figured it out myself helps to read up on the manuals. d'oh. sorry for the bandwidth waste...

Using local/testing server with cs5 inserting images look fine in the split screen but do not show

Hi
If I open example: header.php and insert any photo jpeg/.html ecs i can see the images in the split screen but not in the browser if i save then refresh. I am able to make any change to the code ecs. and they are reflected just fine. I have tried this with my fireworks images .html and when that did not work i tried a strait jpeg off the desktop. This all did not work. I have deleted the local server then step by step created a new one via devnet instruction. This did not work! everything looks fine i even tried in 3 sep browsers with 0 luck....There is no remote server connected at this time because i am making a child theme for my current site. After all changes are done we will the ftp the word press files to site and change.
Ps i even started over from scratch with 0 positive affects....

After a lot of pain!!!!!!! the issue is fixed lol After 3 weeks I have overlooked the obvious !!! so the simple fix was the path of the image. Yes i feel stupid 10 years in lol....
Apparently dreamweaver cs 5 will not use the full path when inserting images into the page example: If you drag the image out of your assets folder or however you do it, DW will give you a path like this <img src="images/glass.jpg" width="800" height="729"> This is not the full path and when your pist!!! you cant see things like that ;( so the image path should look like this:
<img src="wp-content/themes/adszoom/images/glass.jpg" width="800" height="729">
also in the html files example of bad then good!

Download files to a local server and distribute locally

I have 3 pc's to ugrade, not at a lot but is time consuming.
I would like to download only the necessary files to a server and than distribute these to the two other pc's
What is the best way to do this ?
Is the procedure to follow described somewhere ? Thanks

Using ADS local server on Linux

Hi,
I am using Centos 6.4 and I've installed unixODBC and downloaded and installed the Sybase Advantage ODBC driver for Linux version 11.1. I unpacked and installed the driver (using setup.pl).
I created the following /etc/odbc.ini
; odbc.ini
[ODBC Data Sources]
Odie = Advantage ODBC Driver
[Odie]
Driver=/usr/lib64/libadsodbc.so
DataDirectory=/usr/src
Description=Advantage ODBC driver
DefaultType=FoxPro
ServerTypes=1
I'm trying to access FoxPro DBF files, and I'm wanting to use the Advantage Local Server to do so. I copied a FoxPro free table called test.dbf to /usr/src. The file /usr/lib64/libadsloc.so exists in the same folder as /usr/lib64/libadsodb.so. Then from the command prompt, I ran --
isql Odie -v
And I got the following error --
[root@linuxmysql2 adsodbc-11.10.0.1]# isql Odie -v
[S1000][unixODBC][iAnywhere Solutions][Advantage SQL][ASA] Error 6060: Advantage Database Server not available on specified server. axServerConnect
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
I understand that the Advantage Local Server for Linux is not a daemon, so there's nothing that's supposed to be running. Given that I configured "ServerTypes=1" and the libadsloc.so file appears to be in the correct place, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not quite sure what.
Suggestions?
UPDATE :
Upon further investigation, I've figured out how to get past that particular error by creating an /etc/ads.ini and putting in the following --
[SETTINGS]
ADS_SERVER_TYPE=1
But now I'm getting the message I've copied below when trying to run "select * from test". /usr/src/test.dbf exists and is chmod 777 just to simplify things. As you can see in my ODBC setup above, my data directory is /usr/src. This is a free table, and no FoxPro database exists, nor does an Advantage database exist. The same thing works fine on my Windows box.
SQL> select * from test
[S1000][unixODBC][iAnywhere Solutions][Advantage SQL][ASA] Error 7200: AQE Error: State = HY000; NativeError = 5004; [iAnywhere Solutions][Advantage SQL][ASA] Error 5004: Either ACE could not find the specified file, or you do not have sufficient rights to access the file. //linuxmysql2/usr/src/test.adt Table name: test
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLPrepare
UPDATE 2:
I tried specifically indicating the full file name (including .dbf at the end) and I got the following error --
SQL> select * from [test.dbf]
[S1000][unixODBC][iAnywhere Solutions][Advantage SQL][ASA] Error 7200: AQE Error: State = HY000; NativeError = 7016; [iAnywhere Solutions][Advantage SQL][ASA] Error 7016: Corrupt table. Make sure you are not attempting to open a DBF with an ADT table type or vice versa. //linuxmysql2/usr/src/test.dbf Table name: test.dbf
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLPrepare
I've specified the default table type in odbc.ini, but it looks like that may be getting ignored. If I don't specify the table extension, it complains that test.adt doesn't exist. If I do, then it complains that I'm trying to open a DBF as an ADT table, even though I've specified that I want to be opening DBFs.

Hi,
I believe that we may have answered this on the Q&A forum. If I recall correctly, you placed the odbc.ini in your local home directory as .odbc.ini and this seemed to resolve the issues.

SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the

Oracle VM 3.1.1 - use local sas on HP DL-580 G5 server

Hi,
I have next question:
I want to now if I can use local sas disk as local repositories on HP DL-580 server ?
The server use this controller: Smart Array P400i Controller.

According to HP it should be fully supported.
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hplinuxcert-oracle.html
"HP Tested: Either the OS or hypervisor was successfully installed on the server"
No particular version is specified, however.
With the tension between Oracle and HP lately - it's possible HP drivers were pulled from the latest release - in which case you will have to acquire the correct drivers from HP and install with your host OS installation.
Did some searching on the forums here and turned up nothing specific to your case.
Since I do not have any related hardware in my possession I cannot comment any further.

"do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" IEM setting

Hi, i would like to find out where can i find the following setting in GPO which used be found in IEM.
"do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" Enabled/Disabled
as currently im setting the IE proxy exception list via GPP, i don't see that option.

Hi,
As you notice that when we use GPP Internet Setting item to configure bypass proxy servers, there is no "do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" option in GPP Internet
Setting item. However, as suggested by zanderol24’s reply, we can use bypass proxy server for local addresses option under
Proxy server to achieve the same function.

Try using IMac as local server

Not sure if this belongs to here ...
I need to set up (but would like to avoid MAMP) a local server environment for web-development purposes and learned that IMac comes with its own Apache and PHP/MySQL.
I tried the last three days (after I got my brand new 27" IMac) to find my way through but I think I am just too new to the IMac family,,, Can anyone please guide me through on how to achieve my goal?
Thanks a lot

You are not in the right forum. You want the Unix forum under Mac OS X Technologies heading of the main forums list and the OS X Server forums. You should also join the Apple Developers forums - registration is free - where you will find helpful documentation and additional forums.
As you have already surmised this is not truly an OS X issue but a Unix one. BTW there are some good books at Amazon.com on OS X Unix.

Current Security Context Not Trusted When Using Linked Server From ABAP

Hello,
I am experiencing a head-scratcher of a problem when trying to use a Linked Server connection to query a remote SQL Server database from our R/3 system. We have had this working just fine for some time, but after migrating to new hardware and upgrading OS, DBMS, and R/3, now we are running into problems.
The target database is a named instance on SQL Server 2000 SP3, Windows 2000 Server. The original source R/3 system was 4.7x2.00, also on SQL Server 2000 (SP4), Windows 2000 Server. I had been using a Linked Server defined via SQL Enterprise Manager (actually defined when the source was on SQL Server 7), which called an alias defined with the Client Network Utility that pointed to the remote named instance. This alias and Linked Server worked great for several years.
Now we have migrated our R/3 system onto new hardware, running Windows Server 2003 SP1 and SQL Server 2005 SP1. The application itself has been upgraded to ECC 6.0. I performed the migration with a homogeneous system copy, and everything has worked just fine. I redefined the Linked Server on the new SQL 2005 installation, this time avoiding the alias and referencing the remote named instance directly, and it tests out just fine using queries from SQL Management Studio. It also tests fine with OSQL called from the R/3 server console, both when logged on as SAPServiceSID with a trusted connection, and with a SQL login as the schema owner (i.e., 'sid' in lowercase). From outside of R/3, I cannot make it fail. It works perfectly.
That all changes when I try to use the Linked Server within an ABAP application, however. The basic code in use is
EXEC SQL.
   SET XACT_ABORT ON
   DELETE FROM [SERVER\INSTANCE].DATABASE.dbo.TABLE
ENDEXEC.
The only thing different about this code from that before the upgrade/migration is the reference to [SERVER\INSTANCE] which previously used the alias of just SERVER.
The program short dumps with runtime error DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR, exception CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR. The database error code is 15274, and the error text is "Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted."
I have set the "trustworthy" property on the R/3 database, I have ensured SAPServiceSID is a member of the sysadmin SQL role, I've even made it a member of the local Administrators group on both source and target servers, and I've done the same with the SQL Server service account (it uses a domain account). I have configured the Distributed Transaction Coordinator on the source (Win2003) system per Microsoft KB 839279 (this fixed problems with remote queries coming the other way from the SQL2000 system), and I've upgraded the system stored procedures on the target (SQL2000) system according to MS KB 906954. I also tried making the schema user a member of the sysadmin role, but naturally that was disastrous, resulting in an instant R/3 crash (don't try this in production!), so I set it back the way it was (default).
What's really strange is no matter how I try this from outside the R/3 system, it works perfectly, but from within R/3 it does not. A search of SAP Notes, SDN forums, SAPFANS, Microsoft's KnowledgeBase, and MSDN Forums has not yielded quite the same problem (although that did lead me to learning about the "trustworthy" database property).
Any insight someone could offer on this thorny problem would be most appreciated.
Best regards,
Matt

Good news! We have got it to work. However, we did it in something of
a backwards way, and I'm sure you'll laugh when you see how it was done. Also, the solution depends upon the fact that the remote server is still using SQL Server 2000, and so doesn't have quite so many restrictions placed upon it for distributed transactions and Linked Servers as SQL Server 2005 now does.
At the heart of the solution is the fact that the Linked Server coming FROM the remote server TO our SAP system works fine. Finally, coupled with the knowledge that using DBCON on the SAP side to the remote server also does actually provide a connection (see Notes 323151 and 738371), we set up a roundabout way of achieving our goal. In essence, from ABAP, we set up the DBCON connection to the remote server, at which point all the Native SQL commands execute in the context of the remote server. From within that connection, we
reference the tables in SAP via the Linked Server defined on the remote
server, as if SAP were the remote server, selecting data from SAP and inserting it into the remote (but apparently local to this connection) tables.
So, to spell it out, we define a Linked Server on the remote server pointing back to the SAP server as SAPSERV, with a SQL login mapping defined on the remote system pointing back to a SQL login in the SAP database. We also define a connection to the remote server from SAP using DBCON, using that remote SQL login for authentication.
Then, in our ABAP code, we simply do something along the lines of
exec sql.
   set connection 'REMOTE'
endexec.
exec sql.
   connect to 'REMOTE'
endexec.
exec sql.
   insert into REMOTE_TABLE
      select * from SAPSERV.SID.sid.SAP_TABLE
endexec.
exec sql.
   commit
endexec.
exec sql.
   disconnect 'REMOTE'
endexec.
This is, of course, a test program, but it demonstrated that it worked,
and we were able to see that entries were appropriately deleted and inserted in the remote server's table. The actual program for use is a little more complex, in that there are about four different operations at different times, and we had to resolve the fact that the temp table SAP_TABLE was being held in a lock by our program, resulting in a deadly embrace, but our developer was able to work that out, and all is now well.
I don't know if this solution will have applicability to any other customers, but it works for us, for now.
SAPSERV, REMOTE, REMOTE_TABLE, and SAP_TABLE are, of course, placeholder names, not the actual server or table names, so as not to confuse anyone.
