DS and Messaging server relation

Hi,
I have a question here, I found out that my customer's DS has an extended schema, subBlacklist=yes or subBlacklist=no, where messaging server will determined whether to block this particular user from sending email if he has the attribute subBlacklist=yes.
Which part/configuration files in messaging that is related to this configuration?
FYI, customer is using
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-8.04 (built Feb 28 2007)
libimta.so 6.2-8.04 (built 19:28:07, Feb 28 2007)
SunOS mx1.tm.net.my 5.10 Generic_118833-36 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200
Please help.

Hi,
I have a question here, I found out that my
customer's DS has an extended schema,
subBlacklist=yes or subBlacklist=no,"my customer" .. are you the system administrator or a third party partner etc. providing charged assistance - I would really object if you were making money off assistance I offer for free in my own time???
Which part/configuration files in messaging that is
related to this configuration?This would most likely be implemented in a mapping table call-out. The easiest way to find the relevant file it is to run:
grep -i subBlacklist <msg_base>/config/*Regards,

Enqueue server and Message server in ABAP/Java dual stack

Hi you guys,
I have some questions when studying SAP, could you please explain for me:
- In ABAP and Java system, do each stack have it own enqueue server and message server?
- What is the difference between Enqueue server and enqueue work process in ABAP stack?
- If there is one message server for each stack, which messager server (ABAP or Java) will the Web dispatcher connect directly to?
- How do ABAP message server and Java message server communicate with each other?
Thank you very much.

1. in Dual Stack, normally you have ABAP Stack and SCS Central service Instance. ABAP Instance has Message server, SCS has it own Message server and enqueue server. ABAP instance doesn't have enqueue server, because the SCS already has enqueue service
2. Communication between ABAP and J2EE Engine uses RFC (JCo) or HTTP Interface.
Web Dispatcher will connect to the ICM of that instance, and the ICM is talking to Abap dispatcher and J2EE Dispatcher.
3. The term: enqueue server and enqueue work process , already shows its different quite obviously.
What so confuse about it ? do some search on SAP Online Documentation.

Vincent

Identity and Messaging Server 6

I've installed JES 2004Q2, Identity and Messaging Server 6 in Schema 2.
I may understand that identity provides managing user from Messaging. Where can i find a procedure to add and configure Identity to do that ?
Does Sun really not support this way to manage Messaging Users ?
Thanks.

Here are the main steps...
1.
Install JES from the installer with identity, mailserver, and commadmin (and the extra msg queue, LDAP etc that is required).
2.
configure mailserver and commadmin separately (config script in the software main directory). Probably best (if not required) to start with mail before commadmin...
3.
Administration is done with cmd util "commadmin" against identity server. There is also a sample service modules for mail that can be used in the web gui for user admin. This module is however NOT supported as Jay Plesset earlier said.
btw
the docs are much better now and describes this well.

Milter-greylist and Messaging Server

I have been using the milter-greylist for a long time on the sendmail servers and relays, and at least with the older releases I thought this milter only supports local sockets to interact with sendmail (and can listen on the network for peering with other milter-greylist instances). I reviewed the recent release's README, there's no notes of non-local sockets either.
The Wiki [http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/About_milter_plugin] suggests, however, that all milters may (and for Messaging Server - must) be configured on a networking socket. It also states that milter-greylist was tested as working with the Sun Messaging Server.
Can somebody please elaborate (ideally - write up a step-by-step how-to on the Wiki) how to integrate this milter with Sun MS, which versions are supported, where do we configure the network-listening socket (is it greylist config or libmilter config), etc.?
Thanks in advance :)

I hit this very issue when writing up the guide you refer to -- there is little in the way of information on the Internet regarding the sendmail milter library and getting the milter to listen on a non-unix socket.
Can somebody please elaborate (ideally - write up a step-by-step how-to on the Wiki) how to integrate this milter with Sun MS, which versions are supported, where do we configure the network-listening socket (is it greylist config or libmilter config), etc.?For the milter-greylist I made the following change to the greylist.conf file:
replace:
socket "/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock"
with:
socket "inet:19025"This causes the milter to listen on an INET port (19025 in this example) vs. a unix socket. You will find that a similar approach will work with other milters that use the sendmail milter library and this is why I mentioned it in the guide:
<snip>
3. Run the milter-server, configure it to run on the INET:<TCP port number> socket.
</snip>
As for writing up wiki's on supported versions and what-not (we don't support specific milters rather we support the milter interface) this is something I simply don't have the time to do. Feel free however to update the milter wiki page with your own testing results.
I did however fix up a number of broken links on the page -- it seems sendmail have moved their milter related information to a new site (milter.org) since I created the page.
If you are looking at greylisting addresses, I would recommend you consider using the following instead as it is far more efficient then calling out to a milter server for this purpose.

How to see Dispatcher, gateway and Message server port numbers?

Hi All,
Can any body tell me how to know the port numbers of dispatcher, gateway & message server in a particular sap application server.
Thanks & Regards
Srinivas K

Hi,
This is very work around way...
SM51-Choose theserver-there one icon (Magnifying glass) choose detaiols -
There you will get dispatchet port.
SMGW -
dispaly file(icon) -
in that you can find the port on which gate way is working.
SMMS-goto-parametere--display...you can find the port for MS.
SMMS -goto-display details (will give more info) you can find diff ports ...
Apart from these all these services when they start they write log in work dir there we can find which port they are using while starting ..
We can find them in the individual monitoring t-codes like SMMS,SMGW,SM51 etc..or from AL11 go to work dir and look at dev_disp,dev_ms,dev_rd.
This is all very work around...
The best will be services file at os level.
Thanks.

Directory Server Replica and Messaging Server 6

I install Directory Server 5.2 as Master Replica in one machine (V120) and on the other machine (V240) I install the following:
1. SunONE Directory Server 5.2 (Consumer
Replica) or slave replica.
2. SunONE Identity Server
3. SunONE Messaging Server 6
I have successfully install and configured the 3 Servers, when they are running on just one machine (one box). But when I try to run them in two separate machines as described above, the messaging server acts strangely and it's configuration fails, when i try to configure it on the directory server replica.
In simpler words, I want to know if someone has installed Messaging Server in a Directory Server Replication scenario, where there are two machines involve. Because all works well when we install everything on one machine (one box) but I am having hard time configuring the messaging server in this split setup scenario.
So, if someone has idea about how to run the Messaging Server 6 ( ./configure ) file successfully on a Directory Server 5.2 Replica, please suggest me in detail.
Thanking you,
Farhan Ahmed.
Vision Valley, Dubai.

Messaging Server uses LDAP in two ways. The obvious one is that user/group/domain information is stored there.
The non-obvious way is that some configuration information is stored in LDAP, in the "o=NetscapeRoot" tree. This tree is NOT ususally replicated, so if you perform the installation against one LDAP server, and then attempt to move the configuration to point to another one, and don't make a separate replication agreement for the configuration, your server won't work correctly.
To configure Messaging against a replica, you also need to understand how the replication and "referral" works. Without studying your scenario, I cannot tell what has failed, but indeed, there are users that have configured Messaging 6.0 against a replica LDAP system.
You may want to open a tech support ticket, and get personal help for your issue.

Message server related

Kindly help me to understand on the below: (AIX, ECC6, Oracle 10.2)
I know that message server performs load balancing and co-ordinates communication between several instances... Now, if I have an SAP ECC6 system that has only one instance, the MS will be installed automatically as a service.
a: if I disable my message server, will it affect the system.. Ofcourse, the users connecting to the system will have to use the app server to connect directly; but will the system operations suffer ?
b: how can I start message server / dispatcher from the command line... the start profile says (Start_Program_00 = local $(_MS) pf=$(_PF)). If I execute, $(_MS) pf=$(_PF) (with substitution of MS as ms.sapSIDNO and _PF=profile path), will it start the message server and similarly the dispatcher and other services ?
Thanks,

Hi Jay-Basis,
a. yes there is a serious effect on the system if ms is not active.All the requests were routed using MS ,if MS itself is disabled or not active there will not be any requests flow in and out.Secondly if the installation is dual stack, there is no means of processing java requests.
b.As far as i know there is no mechanism to start seperately MS, since SAP start or stop of services are controlled by Start up controlled framework that was initiated once if start command was given.

This error is due to the password for the "admin" user being invalid.

Changing message server port for ABAP+Java Instance

Hi,
We had change our message server port for the Java instance from 3607 to 3667.
We did this using the j2ee config tool. We also verified this information through the console config.
But when we look into system info URL using the URL as shown below, we still that the old message server port is being used. We have recycled the instance couple of times , but does not seem to help.
http://dfudsbw1.dfna.corp.dom:50700/sap/monitoring/SystemInfo
Any ideas where else we have to change the port no. for the message server

Hi guys,
I solved this on my own with documentation help from SAP.
I had to change the port no. in the Global dispatcher and Global server area as well.
Please see details from SAP below.
"Message Server: Changing Ports/Hosts shows which areas need to be adjusted if
the port or host of the message server changes. Ports are, of course, changed in the
instance profile of the Central Services instance. In the example, the port 3677 and
the HTTP port 8177 have been set, and the new host is called twdfxxx. You need to
use the Config Tool to set these values. For each instance, you need to maintain the
corresponding values for the Message server host and Message server port on the
Message Server and Bootstrap tab page. The connection details for dispatchers or
servers to the message server are maintained in the Cluster Manager. As shown in the
figure, the ms.host and ms.port are maintained, respectively, in the Cluster Manager
with Global Dispatcher and the Global Server. After you have maintained all of the
parameters, you can start the instances."

How to configure Symantec Mail Security for SMTP & Messaging Server 6.3

Hi!
I want to install a Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 5.0.1(host1) with Messaging Server 6.3 (in production - host2), but when I try to access to POP protocol to send a message from Internet, the system display a message with a relay problem.

Does Convergence + messaging server 6.3 support wildcard cert ?

Hi all,
We plan to purchase a wildcard cert to support our convergence & messaging server SSL connection.
from the messaging guide provide. it stated we need to generate individual private key & sent to vendor to verify
what if we are using wildcard cert, do it work in this case ?

So means i generate 1 wildcard cert, then apply to all other server ssl connection, or i need to generate individuallyTo use the same CA signed certificate (wildcard or otherwise) with multiple applications (Application Server and Messaging Server in this case) requires that the same private key be used across the applications. To this end you will need to export/import the certificate/keys between the applications using a utility such as pk12util.

MSCS H/A enqueue, replication and message servers services

Hi,
I'm looking at the documentation about "Installation of multiple SAP Systems in MSCS: MSSQL Server" but I have a few questions about the SCS and ASCS process.
Are the process setup as generic cluster service? Or are they SAP provided cluster services?
What monitoring is done with the the enqueue, replication and message server services in the cluster?

Mike,
The SAPINST installer will install SCS and ASCS services into MSCS for you. They are installed inside the SAP group in cluster.
The message servers, controlled by either SCS is HA with MSCS. The enqueue services is HA with installation of ERS locally on both nodes. SCS + ERS + ERS provides a triangular HA that means the services is always on and can withstand an cluster failover. The cluster only controls the SCS service. The ERS services are local to each server.
Let me know if I did not answer the question.

RFC_ERROR_COMMUNICATION: Connect to message server failed

Hi,
I think this is the most common error that one can face and have seen quite a few threads in the forum. Still, i couldn't resolve my problem.
I am getting the following error when i tried to connect to SAP using SAP JCO connector with load balancing.
(102) RFC_ERROR_COMMUNICATION: Connect to message server failed
Connect_PM MSHOST=sapserver, R3NAME=D11, GROUP=Group1

ERROR       partner not reached (host sapserver, service sapmsD11)
TIME        Wed Jun 24 16:05:49 2009
I added the service sapmsD11 in the services file of my client as well as in R/3 server.
I got the above error when i tried to connect using load balancing. Without load balancing, i was able to connect to R/3 server successfully. Can any one tell how to figure out the message server host name ?
Can the application server host name and message server host name be same ?
PS: I am able to ping my R/3 server from my client.
Thanks,
Prasad.

Hi,
Check that you have configured properly using the below document. And check the message server of R/3 is configured properly in the SLD.

Messaging Server

Hi Guys,
I have problem accessing messenger express:
Please correct me if I did it the wrong way.
I have installed ldap and messaging server in 2 different server. Meaning:
Server A: ldap1 and imss1 (msg svr) installed
Server B: ldap2 and imss2 (msg svr) installed
Everything was fine. I can login successfully to messenger express for imss1 and imss2 with service admin user. But when I did a MMR (Multi Master Replication) between ldap1 and ldap2. Replication is done on UserRoot, pab and Internet suffix.
Things got screwed up. I was not able to login to messenger express for imss2 with the user created and even the service admin. But I am able to login from imss1 messenger express using whatever user created even service admin.
Please advise. Did I left out something.

Hi Jay,
It's me again. Just a few questions to this. I have
tested that it works but it does not really serve any
purpose right? The only thing that it does is only
allowing user to login to messenger express when one
ldap dies off. It gives the feel that they are still
able to login.More than that. Messaging Server should function properly on the second ldap, assuming that the second ldap is functioning properly.
>
Practically, user cannot do anything once login. This
includes sending mail, checking mails, add contacts
and in short it means not able to do anything at
all.No. You should have full function. Any process that starts up in this condition, though, will timeout for some minutes before it works properly.
Perhaps your replication isn't complete?
>
Am I correct? Or there is also a way to allow user to
login and do the stuff they always do in the messeger
express just like normal even one ldap dies off.I
I don't understand what you're asking here.
>
Please please advise. Appreciate your help on this.
Kind Regards,
