Groupwise Dual Delivery

First off, I find it odd that I don't see ANY threads on "dual delivery".
I have a situation where I need to forward all inbound emails to an
alternate external email address as well as delivering those emails to the
normal Groupwise client/account... hence, "dual delivery". I've seen
other processes indicating forwarding email with the client (but that has FWD: and reply-to issues), and installing an application to do the forwarding
on the client, but I need a server-side/admin solution that can be
implemented on 10-50 accounts.... we're migrating to Google Apps.
Before we cut over to Google Apps though, we want to test all the email
routing/options without interrupting normal operation from the clients
point of view... giving the user the option of using Groupwise or Google
Apps (more or less). And thus replying to and from emails from within
Google Apps without messing up Groupwise (and vis-versa).
We are using Groupwise verison 7, and admittedly am new to Novell... I
can do this in Exchange, Notes, and MailMarshal in 10 seconds, but not familiar enough with Groupwise.
Thanks all!
Dave

Workarounds:
Client side rule for either forward or delegate. Several "special" gwia
switches I don't remember off the top of my head (/realmailfrom comes to
mind) should make it work like you want.
Other ideas:
Create external users and then a distribution group containing your internal
user and your external user (one distribution group per pair). Change the
user's email address to something else, adding the original email address to
the distribution group via a nickname, and then setup the GW user with an
IMAP account to allow them to send with the correct "from" address. Email
sent to the distribution group will be dual-delivered. The IMAP hack is
necessary (I think ???) to have the end user actually send email with the
correct "from" address.

Setup for dual delivery with Google Apps

Hi,
I am trying to get SLS to funnel all outbound email through Google Apps Premium. The idea is to have Google Apps as a backup for my users (small company) in case I loose my internet connection or the server goes down.
Incoming email gets delivered to both my server and Google Apps. I can send email from both as well and it gets delivered. It looks like Google is correctly forwarding email to my SLS.
What I need is to have my server send outbound email through the Google Apps servers so that 'sent mail' in Google Apps matches my server's.
I tried to set this up in 10.6 server, by setting up the relay option to smtp.gmail.com in mail admin. I get an error message about STARTTLS. Is there a way to get Mail to connect with the google smtp servers via the required secure connection and port 587? Also, how do I set this up without all my email getting flagged as spam.
Thanks,

Hi,
Not quite the same situation but when I was testing the google apps migrator tool on my 10.5.8 server, I had similar issues getting it to connect over TLS/SSL. The google server didn't support cram-md5 login apparently which I believe is the default on most OS X servers. I had to enable either login or plan+clear (I can't recall the exact one that fixed it but I'm pretty sure it was the combo of plain+clear).
In doing this, make sure you're using SSL (I had issues getting google to use TLS, google lets you specify TLS or SSL) obviously since the password would otherwise be cleartext in doing the above as opposed to cram-md5 which at least has some level of encryption associated with it. SMTP has the same login options as IMAP so you very well could be experiencing the same issue.
Not sure this will help you since I understand your situation is different but just a heads up.

MRP output for dual procured item with some existing firmed delivery items

we having an item (eg. A) which is dual procured one (i.e as Local & Subcontracting procurement).Because of capacity constraint at Subcontracting vendor we have negotiated with the Local Vendor in such a way that he will deliver 10000 for Aug, 50000 for Spet & 40000 for Oct & the balance requirement in the respective months should be procured through subcontracting vendor. Also for the above mentioned quantities already PO is created with delivery schedules as above for each month.now the requirement for A is Aug:98000, Sept:150000, Oct:150000, Nov:150000 & Dec:425000 & already there is a P.O for 98000 on Subcontracting vendor whose delivery is in Aug. with these requirements & above receipts (P.O on Local Vendor), we are expecting system to give a PR in Sept on Subcontracting vendor for 100000 piecies. But system is rescheduling the P.O on Local vendor in Oct & giving a PR (Subcontracting) for 60000 piecies. Can any help how should we restrict system not consider the Oct receipt for Sept Month & give a PR (Subcontracting) for 10000 piecies. I have tried the entire scneario with Quota Arrangement also. But system is again considering the Oct's P.O & subtracting the requirement & then splitting the remaining qty as per the Quota.
Can any one help please.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
SVR

Hi,
Rescheduling logic can be controlled via customization definitions (transaction OPPQ), in such a way that the system will not consider future receipts, or limit the horizon in which it happens.

Groupwise Delivery Status Message

Hi
I hope someone can help me ... The Boss has asked me to setup and delivery notification message on all incoming emails
I have enabled DSN in the Gwia Properties
But the message only shows
The message that you sent was delivered to the following:
Information about your message:
With no information please can someone help me
So the correct info is displayed
Regards
Cliff

This has NOTHING to do with DSN. The Outbound delivery status is
completely and totally a different feature. DSN is only relevant
GW originator ===> somewhereelse supporting DSN
not
someone else ===> gw
Since you first reported this issue a year ago, I assume you opened an SR?

Dual G5 Delivery

I order the new 2000 dual core g5 one day after it was anounced.
Amened it to include 256 graphics card, 1 gig of ram and the wireless card.
For the last 3 weeks apple has stated that it is in production.
Has any else got the same problem?

I found the main reason to increase the production time was choosing RAM in multiples of 1Gb, I ordered my DC 2.0 with 2Gb [4x 512Mb DIMM's]
My unit was ordered on the 15/11 and shipped out on the 18/11, now the couriers are draggging their collective feet in bringing the gear from Apple in Ireland to Essex in UK, I should get it this Monday.
Last year I waited a full month for my iMac G5 [rev A], but it was worth the wait, as I hope the PowerMac will be

FCP Workflow recommendations for dual SD and HD delivery

What would be the best workflow for this scenario: I need to shoot in 1080p 23.97 and deliver in both SD and HD. I would like to shoot with a Sony HD900. I don't have the fastest/largest drives....using Lacie and G-Tech 800 and 400 Firewire drives. Is it best to have my footage ingested using a ProRes 422 codec for offline? Any other recommendations? Thanks

400 Firewire and 1080p could have problems playing nice. It could work but your system will mostly have issues with the system being able to play the footage off the drive without any pauses or hiccups. This will be especially evident when you have drives daisy chained together.
I would edit in HD and then convert your HD final sequence to SD. A Kona card will do an excellent job of this if you are going to tape.
Compressor can fulfill any web needs. As far as Compressor converting HD to SD for DVD I have found it to be consistently inconsistent. Sometimes it looks awesome, sometimes it doesn't. You can play with frame controls but render times will go up considerably.
Worse case scenario we have down-converted HD to SD tape with a Kona card and then encoded for DVD with a hardware encoding card or rolled it back in to FC SD and then exported via Compressor.

Dual Boot Win 8.1 & Win 7

I've just taken delivery of a 15-p011na laptop.
This has Windows 8.1 & a 1TB HDD with 5 apparent partitions seen with AOMEI Partition assistant as follows:
*: WINRE NTFS 650.00MB capacity 421.48MB used
*: FAT32 260.00MB capacity 117.95MB used system
*: Other 128.00MB capacity 0.00MB used
C:Windows NTFS 908.78GB capacity 42.31GB used Boot
D:Recovery NFTS 21.71GB capacity 19.57GB used
I would like to create a dual boot with Windows 7 so that I can copy my Windows 7 (32 bit) drive from my old computer to another partition. I have tried shrinking the size of C partition and then installing Windows 7 32 bit on the unused partition. However, I get an error saying that the drive is GPT and I've read that the only way around this is to convert the whole drive to MBR which can be done on the fly with a utility like AOMEI Partition Assistant.
However, MBR will only recognise up to 4 partitions and I would require 6 with the shrunk C partition so can I get rid of the 3 small partitions or will this affect the drive? I have already made a copy of the restore software onto DVD's.
Failing that perhaps I can boot from my old Windows 7 drive as an external USB drive but any attempt to boot from it just crashes and I've tried using Paragon Adaptive resore but the USB drive isn't recognised.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.
Geoff.

Given what the cable does and what device manager looks like it is a driver issue. Their driver. Your best bet is to contact the developer BUT I do wonder if you have tried re-installing the driver in compatibility mode for win 7
To install in compatibility mode do the following:
Right click the installer>properties>compatibility>choose OS
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows?SignedIn=1
(works in vista, win 7, win 8, and win 10)

Delivery Service reporting

Hi all,
I need to create a report on delivery service and if orders are delivered are on time or not. There is BI content for delivery service and measures for perfect orders, but the BI content compare only with the requested delivery date and the last confirmed date.
The confirmed date on the schedule lines will change when ECC (ATP process) update the order and overwrites the previous confirmed delivery date. The customer is not informed about these updates, hence the last confirmed date is not that good to compare with.
I would like to compare the actual delivery date with what has been promised to the customer.
Thanks,
Christina

hi Mark,
from what I understand about cr 4 hana, lumira server is comparable to infoview in that it is the report viewing portal. so it seems that a lumira server installation would be a requirement in order to view the reports in a browser.
here are the deployment requirements:
CR for HANA -Add-on Server
•Crystal Reports Reporting Service
•OS: Linux SUSE 11 SP1
Minimum Hardware Requirement:
•Memory: 12 GB RAM
•CPU performance of at least 8000 SAPS (Quad Core approximately)
•Disk Space: 11 GB
HANA and Lumira–Server
•HANA SP08
•Lumira Server 1.17
Crystal Reports for Enterprise –Designer
•Crystal Reports for Enterprise designer (BI4.1 SP04)
•OS: Windows Desktop (7 -8.1)
Minimum Hardware Requirement:
•Memory: 2 GB RAM
•CPU: Dual Core CPU
•Disk space: 3.5 GB
you can also have desktop reporting off of hana or browser based / infoview (businessobjects enterprise or cr server) using cr2011 or cr2013 etc. in conjunction with a hana client installation. you would be able to use your sps07 system for this.

Bursting and Delivery on BIP EE

Hello all,
I'm using the BIP EE (standalone) version 10.1.3.4.1 (build:1145).
I'm trying to create the 2 pdf files and upload them to the FTP directory '/inbox/'.
the Data model query:
select 'SUPPLIER1' supplier from dual
union
select 'SUPPLIER2' supplier from dual
the Bursting query:
SELECT SUPPLIER KEY,

FROM (select 'SUPPLIER1' supplier from dual
union
select 'SUPPLIER2' supplier from dual)
I'm using the delivery and bursting from the "Schedule" button and the Run emmidiatelly option.
Does any one have a successfully pdf file uploaded to the FTP?
Can any one suggest me where is the problem?
The delivery and Burst return with the following errors:

In addition:
I've tried to upload file using the "Send" button. The file have been successfully uploaded to the ftp. But the file is corrupted, i.e. can't be readable in the PDF reader. seems the the file was uploaded using the non-binary mode.
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
within the delivery note specification the FTP Server name has been set the same to the IP address.
For example:
OLD
FTP server name: Test
IP: 1.1.1.1
Port:21
NEW
FTP server name: 1.1.1.1
IP: 1.1.1.1
Port:21
Then issue was resolved.
Please, refer to the SR# 3-1488517361.

How to configure mwi for GDM (general delivery mailbox)

Hello everyone
I'm trying to configure mwi for GDM and am not having much success. I tried a couple of different ways suggested in a discussion here:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3091135?tstart=0 but don't think I,m doing this the right way.
This is what the thread states:
x511 is a shared line with a corresponding GDM mailbox   (mine is x1007)
x512 is a blast group with members x501 (phone A), x502 (phone B), and x503 (phone C) *****I took 1008
x511 is call forward all to 512
The blast group at 512 forwards on no answer to voicemail
x511 is assigned as a button on each of phones A, B & C
When an incoming call comes in to x511 it is immediately forwarded to the blast group at 512, and as a result, x501, x502, and x503 ring. After 15 seconds (or whatever the no answer timer is set to), the call goes to voicemail. Because the call went to x511 first, it winds up in mailbox 511. After the message is left, an MWI ON message is generated for x511, which results in the envelope icon being displayed next to the x511 button on each of phones A, B and C.
Therefore If I change this to my configurations I think it would go like this:
When an incoming call comes in to x1007(GDM) it is immediately forwarded to the blast group at 1008, and as a result, x1001, x1002, and x1003 and 1004 ring. After 15 seconds (or whatever the no answer timer is set to), the call goes to voicemail. Because the call went to x1007 first, it winds up in mailbox 1007. After the message is left, an MWI ON message is generated for x1007, which results in the envelope icon being displayed next to the x1007 button on each of phones A, B and C.
Here is what I tried:
1: Configured GDM at extension 1007 and shared the extension to phones ext: 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004 (instead of above mentionned x511). This extension works and can retrieve GDM no problem.

Therefore this is what i got:

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Thanks very much for the help Rob. This command does indeed take care of having my GDM
light up but now if I try to send a message to the main phone line x1001 and leave a
message it only has the enveloppe now and doesn't light up...lol
It is a great command to know though...thanks a lot
Any chance you know if I can have both the main line and the GDM light up when they receive messages in their respective extensions?
ex:
ephone 4
device-security none
mac-address aaaa.aaaa.aaaa
username "operator"
type 7961
mwi-line 3   ****In my case this lights up the 1007 which is the GDM mailbox

call-forward noan 1999 timeout 10   ****worst comes to worst i'll get rid of the operator personal mailbox and call-forward all to GDM 1007 on that phone
translation-profile incoming no-prefix
Thanks very much again for your help. If you have any other ideas please feel free to add. I am definitely close to wrapping this issue. Funny cisco didn't configure GDM to also light up the phone extensions included in the GDM like the personal mailboxes when they receive messages.
Thanks very much again for the help. I really appreciate it.

Please help with a new dual purpose PC build

Hi everybody in AdobeLand!
I've been reading various boards and hardware sites and have started piecing together a dual purpose computer system. It will be used for both video editing (of pre-shot hacked, high bitrate I-Frame Panasonic GH2 DSLR and camcorder footage using the AVCHD codec @ 1080p 24 and 30 fps) and webcasting/streaming purposes. I would build two computers for each task, but it's just not in the budget right now. I'm already stretching things as is.
I'm still not sure if I will be using Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas Pro 12 yet, though it seems like they organize their folders and file structures about the same. Adobe's cloud service has me a bit scared off right now. This new scheme feels like they have their hand purpetually in your wallet, which does not sit well with me. I may still go with Vegas 12 just to avoid that hassle right now. Help guide me here, experts! Telestream's Wirecast is being used for multi-cam switching and graphics for live and pre-recorded material being compressed and streamed.
Back on topic:
Here's the build as of right now...
OS: Windows 7 64-Bit Professional (Windows 8 absolutely sucks!)
CPU: Intel i7-4930k 6-Core Ivy Bridge (own)
Motherboard: Asus P9X79 Pro (own)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 1.35v Sport DDR3L @ 32 GB (own)
GPU: EVGA GTX 770 FTW w/ 4 GB (will buy another HD monitor at a later date, hence the 4GB memory)
Case: Fractal Design XL R2 Full Tower
CPU Cooling: Noctua NH-D14 w/ SE2011 Bracket
PSU: Corsair RM1000 Quiet Series / 80 Plus Gold / 1000 Watts
Monitor: Dell U2412M Ultrasharp 24 inch / 1920x1200
Optical Drive: LG Blu-ray Writer
Keyboard: Microsoft 4000 Ergonomic
HDMI capture cards: Blackmagic Designs Decklink Mini (x2)
Storage:
I bought two Samsung 840 Pro SSD drives: one 128 GB and one 256 GB
Thinking about possibly 2 (maybe 3-4 if I really stretch) Seagate ST3000DM001 3TB HDD's.
I could sure use your help with any advise on arranging the storage to get the best bang vs. buck in speed and storage utilization (Wirecast can be setup to record live webcast sessions at 720p or 1080p in compressed files... probably no more than 120 minute webcasts... so that comes into play as well). Just don't have the funds for an uber-expensive RAID controller card right now.
Any opinions overall on the parts for the current build? I still have time to send back and exchange anything already purchased.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

What do you not understand from:
With all the reading and writing going on, on the boot disk, it is understandable you need a (number of) dedicated disk(s) for video editing, especially with the bandwidths required when the clip duration is short and the number of tracks exceeds one and uses a codec more complex than DV. The kind of files used during editing are, in order of their need for speed:
Media cache & Media cache database files, created on importing media into a project. They contain indexed, conformed audio and peak files for waveform display.
Typically small files, but lots of them, so in the end they still occupy lots of disk space.
Preview (rendered) files, created when the time-line is rendered for preview purposes, the red bar turned to green. Read all the time when previewing the time-line.
Project files, including project auto-save files, that are constantly being read and saved as auto-save files and written when saving your edits.
Media files, the original video material ingested from tape or card based cameras. Typically long files, only used for reading, since PR is a non-destructive editor.
Export files, created when the time-line is exported to its final delivery format. These files are typically only written once and often vary in size from several hundred KB to tens of GB.
When you are doubting which category of files to put on which kind of disk, especially when using both SSD's and HDD's, keep in mind that the speed advantage of SSD's over HDD's is most noteworthy with the Media cache & Media cache database. These files are frequently accessed, are small and there are many, so reducing latency and seek times and increasing transfer rates pays off by putting these on a SSD, rather than on a HDD, even if it is a raid0. Export files can go to the slowest volume on your system, since you only export once. To help you decide, I have added priority rank-numbers for speed, with 1 for the fastest volume and 5 for the least speed-demanding category.
and
Well, in the benchmark tests we have not seen any noticeable difference between SSD and HDD in terms of performance, but logic dictates that there should be a small difference in performance when the volume used for media cache is a SSD, because of the much faster access time and lower latency compared to a conventional disk. If it is noticeable, it is specifically on this volume with the media cache and media cache database, due to the large amount of small files that need to be accessed and written. This argument does not apply to the media volume with a limited number of files, that are very big in size.

Groupwise 8 on Server 2008R2 SP1 Performance and Defrag Questions

I am running GroupWise 8.0.2 on an HP DL360G G7 with 24 GB of RAM and Dual Xeon X5650 processors under Server 2008 R2 Sp1. Post Office is using roughly 562 GB of an 819 GB Disk located on an HP p2000 g3 SAS connected enclosure comprised of 12 x 146 GB (15k rpm) SAS disks in a RAID 10 configuration. Typically never more than 700 users connected to the Post Office at any time. I am experiencing client slowness at regular intervals. Roughly every three weeks. The solution tends to be to restart the server and give it a fresh start, which holds for a while.
Concerns.
1. When the server restarts I see minimal memory utilization maybe 1.5 GB within half an hour the Used memory climbs a bit to about 2GB but free memory is quickly pre-allocated to standby memory. Within about 2 hours the Free memory is all consumed and I have about 20+ GB of Standby Memory. Running RAMMap indicates that the memory is being used by Metafile and Mapped File, Which tells me that the Post Offices files are being indexed and cached into RAM. Then after a couple weeks go by the amount of active RAM exceeds 8GB (still mostly Metafile, not so much Mapped File). And standby RAM still consumes the remaining RAM between Metafile and Mapped file, leaving no free memory. Typically once I reach about 8GB of memory actively used by the system (mostly Metafile), it's time for performance to drop for the clients.
Also, I'm seeing increases in Disk Queue Length for the Post Office Volume. Typically below 2 rarely as high as 5,
I suspect my best solution is to start a regular defrag process as my volume is now 29% defragmented [yeah NTFS :( ]
Question:
I am concerned a defrag could take as much if not longer than 10 hours. Which is too long for the agents to be down. So I was wondering if anyone had used DiskKeeper or alternative 3rd party Defrag utilities that might be able to defrag open files in the background, or if anyone had run defrag with the agents running to get the defragable files, then shut down the agents for a second pass which should be considerably shorter. Any advice that can be offered, or other suggestions for my described issue, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!

A) Updating to latest code may assist as this could also be a memory fragmentation type
issue or such that has been fixed
B) Perhaps even more RAM might help. How much space do the ofuser/*.db and ofmsg/*.db files
take up? The more mail flows, the more of those DB file content are held in memory. A few
versions ago, you tended to need as much RAM as the total of the DB files, and while those
days are gladly past, it is still a good number to watch out for.
C) Explore Caching mode for at least some of the users as that significantly reduces the
load on a server.

Still way better than old FAT ;)
This is one of the reasons why GroupWise runs better on Linux with either EXT3 or NSS
volume types, and is why SLES is provided along with your GroupWise license.
As for running Defragments, even running it for just a few hours a week will gradually
help, especially if you can fit in one big burst near the beginning. So if you can automate
the process of shut down agents, run defrag for X hours and then shut it down, then restart
the agents, you may clear this all up. Just having the agents down an hour a week might
clear the memory usage issue for you.
I would be very hesitant to run any defrag on open database files of any email system
unless the defrag tool knew explicitly about that email system. But a smart defragger that
can keep the *.db files in their own (fastest) section of the drive and the rest off to the
side would go a long way to making the defragmentation process much more efficient.
I haven't directly run a GroupWise system on any flavor of Windows, since OS/2, so this is
more a combination of all my platform knowledge, but I hope it gets you closer to a smooth
running system. And if the other GW on Windows admins can pipe in, all the better.

Email Bursting only Sending First Delivery

We are using the standalone version of BIP (10.1.3.3.2), and when I try to test burst a report using email delivery BIP consistently sends the first delivery, but fails on each subsequent delivery. I suspect it has to do with my bursting SQL, but it's hard to say.
My Data source is like this:
<DATA>
<K2_QUERY>
<ROW>
<NAME>JON GOODING</NAME>
<BRANCH>MED</BRANCH>
<CUSTOMER>SHASTA SERVICES INC DBA THE TIMBER</CUSTOMER>
<VISIT_DATE>2008-06-12T00:00:00.000-07:00</VISIT_DATE>
<CONTACT>Michael Williams - Project Mgr</CONTACT>
<PRIORITY>Medium</PRIORITY>
<STATUS>Closed</STATUS>
<CALL_TYPE>Visit</CALL_TYPE>
<DETAILS>They purchase rebar form farwest. </DETAILS>
<ISSUE_TYPE/>
<ACTION_DATE>null</ACTION_DATE>
<ACTION_PLAN/>
</ROW>
</K2_QUERY>
</DATA>But with more records. The template groups on branch, with multiple entries per branch.
The bursting query simply returns an email address for each branch, along with the other required parameters.
When I execute the query, the first delivery works fine, but each other branch delivery fails. No specific message is provided. I can change the order of my data query by altering the 'order by branch' clause to descending, and another branch is the first delivery - and is sent fine. And once again all other deliveries fail.
Any suggestions? This is my first attempt at email bursting, and I'm looking forward to writing more reports.
Thank you, Wolf Moritz

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I just figured it out. What I didn't mention was that I had two data sources, in a concatenated data model. The first query (a header date from dual) was not a repeating element in the report. It didn't seem important at the time, but it was! I just added this header date as a column in my main query and deleted the other query, and only reference it once in the report header. That did the trick.
Thanks for the offer.

Mac mini dual monitors setup

Hi, i just got my mac mini and have placed the order for 2 Dell U2312HM monitors. I want to get the correct cables for the dual monitors setup before the delivery. Could any one comment if i got it right? Thanks. -Jason
- Mini DisplayPort to DVI adaptor x 1
- HDMI to DVI-D Cable x 1

You have it right.
Your monitor has:
Full HD resolution, 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz
The 2012 mini supportds:
supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI or a DVI display (using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter) and2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with an optional Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which is compatible with the Thunderbolt port).

Reference document is not delivery document

Dear All ,
I have created scrap sales order and done the billing. But while creating excise invoice for factory sale ( J1IIN ) it is giving an error i.e. ( Reference document of XXX is not delivery document ).
Regards,
Swapnil Vaidya

Dear ,
After creation of new sub-trans. type for scrap sales order, it is posted correctly. while posting is done, The EI Invoice shows dual entry in following :
1. In the particular GL Acoount of RG23 BED , ECS Etc
2. In the Liability in J2IUN (Utilization) - as pending invoice
and after monthly utilization the amount will again hit in GL account . so the entry will double.
Let me know how can i remove double entry.
Regards,
Swapnil Vaidya
