MTA shows "post office now closed/open"

Hi,
after updating agents from 8.0.2 to 8.0.3 I have MTA showing "post office now closed" and right after it "post office now open" repeated with some interval, every half an hour approx. This happens on all 5 servers (NetWare 6.5 sp8) which were updated. The MTA log shows "MTP: vm-ods-ipS0: Unable to open connection 0x890F. Address 192.168.1.4, Port 7101". In POA web interface MTP Status Last Closure Reason = Protocol error.
It never happened in 8.0.2 version agents. Please advice, what's wrong with 8.0.3.
Regards,
Michael.

Moved Post Office, Now No new Items

I have moved the post office off of one server and on to another. Everything works grerat, except for GMS. I have made modifications to compensate for the movement of the POA, and it looks like GMS is connecting to the post office, but it is not pulling down any updates. I have tried to setup a trusted applications, but it comes back with this error:
53509: Directory Servies Data Missing...
Any help would be apreciated!

Haven't seen that before... did you change both the authentication source (if needed) as also the Groupwise POA address in your GMS configuration?
Which version & what platform GMS, and which version of Groupwise are you using?

The version of GroupWise you are using cannot access this post office

I built a new Server and added it to my PCSD Tree. The new server name is
GroupWise and has an IP Address of 10.10.0.13.
I followed the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide and installed GroupWise to
this server. At no point did I find any place to enter the GroupWise
License.
During the install I discovered that 4 of my long time employees were not
able to be assigned to this new GroupWise server. It appears that a one
time (Long time ago) these 4 employees were part of an old GroupWise Mail
server that must have been removed. I can not find any reference to this
old GroupWise server. My thought is to delete the accounts for there 4
users and recreate the accounts.
However the larger problem is this: I can not login to the GroupWise
Server. Below are two screen shots of what I’m getting when I
launch the GroupWise 7 Client. When I look at the .NLM loaded on the
Server for GroupWise MTA 7.0 it shows Domain Total=1 Closed=0, Post
Offices Total=1 Closed=1, Gateways Total=0 Closed=0.
On the Client, when I launch GroupWise, The Novell GroupWise Startup has a
message in the message window “The version of GroupWise you are
using cannot access this post office”. Then after clicking OK three
times, the following message appears on the screen “GroupWise did
not initialize successfully, Please run GroupWise Setup, or contact your
system administrator. Unspecified error OLE Error 80004005

*During the install I discovered that 4 of my long time employees were not

**You need to disassociate these four NDS users from any GW attributes.
Right-click each user in C1, GroupWise Utilities->GW / eDirectory
Association->Disassociate GroupWise Attributes.
*** When I do as instructed I get the following error:
[username] is missing the following attribute: NGW: Post Office
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*GroupWise MTA 7.0 it shows Domain Total=1 Closed=0, Post
Offices Total=1 Closed=1, Gateways Total=0 Closed=0.
**If the post office is closed, you need to determine why this is. On the
MTA, hit F10, Configuration Status, highlight your PO and hit enter,
select details, then look at the last closure reason.
*** Last Closure Reason= Missing or incomplete address information
[ When I installed GroupWise, I wanted all the e-mail to be stored on the
EMAIL Volume. During the install, I Changed the Install Directory to
\Groupwiseemail. After the install I have two directories in this volume.
One called DOMAIN and the other called PCAM (PCAM is name of my domain).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*On the Client, when I launch GroupWise, The Novell GroupWise Startup has
a message in the message window 'The version of GroupWise you are
using cannot access this post office'.
**What version of GroupWise is on the server and what version client are
you
using? Also, if you pull up the properties of both the domain and post
office in C1 what is the database version listed as?
*** I installed GroupWise 7 both Server and Client. I'm thinking this is
due to the Post Office being closed. I only have 1 Post Office.

GW Monitor and multiple post office agents on one Netware 6.5Server

HI,
I've not been successful getting GW Monitor (7 sp3) to recognize a PO as "known". Regardless of the setting I put in monitor.xml for the port assignment (1677), the thing reverts to port "0". This server is running a MTA only post office agent and a client post office agent. These may be related. Interestingly, the MTA IP configurations are:
MTA only post office agent:
Inbound - 165.91.107.28:7100 (My Note on this - this is from agmail MTA to agents POA which is IP ...28 and listens on 7100)
Outbound - 165.91.106.93:7101 (My Note on this - this is agents POA to agmail MTA which is ip ...93 and listens on 7101)
Client only post office agent:
Inbound - 165.91.107.28:7102 (My Note on this - this is from agents POA/MTA to agents POA only which is IP ...28 and listens on 7102)
Outbound - 165.91.106.93:7101 (My Note on this - this is agents POA only to agmail MTA which is ip ...93 and listens on 7101)
Maybe I should make the outbound for the client only post office agent to be:
Outbound - 165.91.107.28:7100
In any event, we need GW Monitor to report on the status of the POA at 1677 on the Agents server. Any ideas?
Thanks Mike

Well, first of all the Monitor should be looking for 7101 for the MTA, 7100
for the first POA and 7102 for the second POA if indeed this is how you have
it set up. Are you sure you purposefully change the POA to listen on 7100
and put the MTA on 7101? That is confusing :) - most sites have the MTA at
the default of 7100, and the first POA at 7101, so it just looks weird to me
- but it's perfectly "okay" to change them if you want to - but just
confusing for long-time GW admins/consultants.

JPEG/PSD issue--I open a jpeg and edit it (levels, crop) and then "save as" and the save as option shows there are now levels in the image and it wants to save it as a .psd file or a copy with layers. What am I doing that has these settings appear?

16bit? Pixels extending beyond the canvas? (from a crop with delete unused pixels turn off). Have you previously been saving PSD files?
IME you sometimes have to tell Photoshop that the first save of a session is JPG, and it remembers from there on. The way to 'tell' Photoshop that JPG, or PDF, or PNG etc are now your preferred format is to Ctrl (Cmd) click on that format in the Save As drop down list. So long as the file does not have parameters that your chosen format does not support, then this should work for you.
[EDIT] Just noticed that you did include 'Crop' in the subject line. Do you have 'Delete cropped pixels' checked?

Create a new AppleID on a different iOS device or on a computer. You will
then be able to use that newly created AppleID on your iPhone.

My iphone 5s was stolen and i gps d it and found where it was but they turned it off and denied it and i googled how to open iphone 5s without passcode and a youtube video showed how, so now i am out of a phone that i just paid 300 dollars for becaus

my iphone 5s was stolen and i gps d it and found where it was but they turned it off and denied it and i googled how to open iphone 5s without passcode and a youtube video showed how, so now i am out of a phone that i just paid 300 dollars for because i dropped my last 5s and the glass shattered and i didnt have any insurance. so now it seems like i am out again. i was sold on the fact that the fingerprint sensor would stop that from happening but they can just reset the phone and have it as theirs new. is there anything i can do to get my phone back.

If you set up your phone correctly, it is still protected by the Activation Lock and can be used without knowing your AppleID and password.
Here are some more things about that:
What if your iOS device is off or offline?
If your missing device is off or offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect. If you remove the device from your account while it's offline, any pending actions for the device will be cancelled.
How do you turn off or cancel Lost Mode?
You can turn off Lost Mode by entering the passcode on your device. You can also turn off Lost Mode on iCloud.com or from the Find My iPhone app.

Order stuck at post office (not updating for about a week now)

I've placed an order last week ( Tales of Xillia ) and it was scheduled to be delivered last Wednesday.
The parcel has been stuck at the status "Parcel being transferred to local post office" since the 16th.
This has happened to me before once and basically, the CSR just resent the same product to me.
I was wondering if someone here could do the same in this case as well.
Thanks!

Hello karekano126,
Lost packages are the worst, aren’t they? While it certainly doesn’t happen very often, it can definitely ruin someone’s day, and I'm sorry for the disappointment this caused.
If an online order is reported to us as missing, we reach out to UPS on your behalf to start an investigation to determine where your package may be. This process may take a few days to conclude. I would hate for this to cause further frustration for you than it already has though, and I have sent you a private message so that we may discuss this further. To view it, please make sure you are logged into the forum and click on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner.
Thank you for posting,

Duplicate File IDs showing up in multiple post offices

We have come across a strange issue. Several users are missing their file IDs. We looked at the user databases and found duplicate file IDs spread across multiple post offices. Joe Smith might have file ID aba in Post Office One while Bob Jones would have the same file ID in Post Office Two. Is this normal? What would happen if we had to move a user from one post office to the other with a duplicate ID.? How can we fix this?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris Toledo

My boss sez "Whew"
My backup email admin sez "Whew"
I sez "Whew and Thank You very much"

As for moving a user, if their current fid already exists within the
target po, then they will get a new unused one as part of the move process.
So, there is nothing really to fix

WAN traffic generated by Remote Post Office?

Just started working for an organization with 2 remote offices, both holding a Groupwise Post Office (GW7 now but will be GW8 soon). In each case, there is no secondary domain for the remote Post Offices thus no MTA. The Post Offices are part of a domain back in the main office. I want to change this and place an MTA at each location, which will require that I create new Post Offices and then move the users over. I would like to know, in the meantime, whether there is any more or less bandwidth consumed by the current configuration without an MTA at the remote sites vs. what we would see with a proper secondary domain, MTA and POA. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi Dave,
The first setting I change is on the central MTA:
--tcpinbound
I set this to anywhere between 200 and 400 threads depending on how busy the MTA is. I find the default of 40 not good enough for having secondary domains on the other side of dodgy WAN links.
The second set of changes I make is on the remote MTA:
--tcpwaitconnect
--tcpwaitdata
depending on how bad the WAN connection is I've set these as high as 40 [seconds] in the past - understanding the the default is 5 seconds.
Without the above settings I found that the remote MTA could overrun my central MTA with half-open/closed connections rendering the central MTA unable to process any new connections and thus unable to process mail.
Hope that the above information is useful to somebody :)
Cheers

Cancel or reverse the process ordrer confirmation posted in a closed period

Hi SAP experts,
                          It would be very nice of you if you could solve this issue for me.
                          The issue is -
                           There is a process order created and released for a material on 01.07.2010.Partial confirmation for the order was done on 15.07.2010 but the posting date was entered as 14.06.2010.So the stock for the material got posted on 14.06.2010 which was supposed to be posted on 14.07.2010. Now, if we try to cancel the order confirmation in the current month through CORS , system is giving errors because the posting period is closed .
                           Is there any way to reverse the postings without opening the posting period?
                           How we can open the field for the posting date in the transaction CORS where we can assign new posting date for the cancellation of the order confirmation. Is it possible to enter this new posting date as 01.07.2010 now because the posting period for July is currently open?
Best regards,
RAB

The reason for reversal is that - the goods receipt on the date 14.06.2010 should tally with the goods receipt for the process order created for the month of June 2010 on that particular date as per the daily production report developed for client. In this case, only one process order is created for a material for each month and that is confirmed daily as per the daily production and then confirmed and settled finallly at the end of the month.
Now the requirement is that the excess goods receipt posted in June 2010 for the process order created for July 2010 should be reversed so that the goods receipts for the June's process order on that particular date for that material match properly.
          Actually , to compensate for this wrong posting done by the user on 14.06.2010, another confirmation for the same order of July 2010 was done for that material with same qty. with correct posting date(14.07.2010) so that the goods receipts for July 2010 for the material for that process order are proper.
         I am sure you must have clearly understood the issue. Is it possible to cancel the the order confirmation done with posting date 14.06.2010 by giving new posting date as 01.07.2010? Whether this will display proper stock for the material in June as well as July? Kindly confirm.
Best regards,
RAB

The Firefox about:home page always shows "Restore Previous Session" and opens random things even after a clean exit.

I don't like anything opening automatically when I start Firefox, so before Firefox 4 I set Firefox to open a blank page when it starts. I still had set a page I visit frequently as my home page, so I could get to that page quickly by pressing the home button. If I needed to close Firefox it was nice and easy to have the option to save my session and close (I've already searched and read another post and answer on how to restore this feature in about:config). I understand that Firefox 4 always saves your session and you can restore it from the history menu, but then I would have to remember if I had anything open and click menu/History/Restore Previous Session.
Now in Firefox 4 I have left the home page set to about:home so if I had tabs open when I closed it I would see the Restore Previous Session "button" the next time I start it. However, when I close all windows and tabs before exiting Firefox, the Restore Previous Session "button" will be sometimes be there. If I click it, it will open a random tab or window that I visited the previous day, which was NOT the last tab/window that I had open.
If I do have tabs open when I close it, it does correctly re-open them when using the Restore Previous Session button, it only does this if I do a clean exit (close all tabs/windows before close).
I tried deleting the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files from my Firefox appdata directory (there were no other sessionstore.* files). This is a clean install of Firefox 4, I didn't install on top of Firefox 3.6.xx. I uninstalled Firefox 3.6.xx before installing and made sure to delete any leftover files in my appdata, programdata and program files directories.

I thought about that before and tried it, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I did it just now, I opened a blank tab and closed everything else, waited a minute then closed Firefox. I waited another minute and launched Firefox. The Restore Previous Session box was there on about:home. I clicked it and it opened a new window with about:home in it.

Post office upset w/separate auto & non-auto postage reports for same job.

I am new to Business Objects Business Edition. I am not sure why sometimes I process an automated mailing and get one postage report showing both auto and non-auto, then run another and get two postage reports, one for auto and one for non-auto. The post office is always complaining that we shouldn't have two postage reports. Can anyone offer a suggestion?

Diane,
When the Postage Statement Type Option is set to "By Mailing" a separate Postage Statement will print for each scheme that qualified for the presort (or for each entry point in Business Edition). By Mailing is the program default.
In order to print one postage statement for the entire job, change the Postage Statement Type to By Job as follows:
1. Select Print > Reports
2. Highlight the Postage Statement
3. Click Options
4. Under Type, choose By Job
5. Click Create minimum number of pages (if it is not all ready checked)
6. To save as a default click Default
7. Click Save current settings as default
8. Click OK
9. Click OK
Note: When setting this as a default it will change this job and be the new global default for new jobs. After May 14, 2007 rate case, and using 7.80c or later, the Postage Statement may be on three pages, not just two even when doing a By Job Statement.
Diane - If you are usng Presort you can make the change to the report by opening up the postage statement block and setting the report to by job instead of by mailing.
Thanks,
Kendra

Clean up after post office deletion

I deleted a post office from a GW 8.02 server running mta, gwia, and one other post office. When it asked me if I wanted to delete file system for that po, I said yes. However when it attempted to delete the files it gave an error saying they would have to be cleaned up manually. The objects deleted fine and the system is otherwise ok but when I run rcgrpwise status I still see the old post office listed there as unused. My assumption is that I need to clean up gwha.conf by removing the old post office from the list and then remove the file system for the old post office. Is that all there is to it?
Thanks for any assistance.

Sure, that's a valid reasoning and ext3 should work fine. One could probably debate using XFS over ext3 when looking at native Linux filesystems for GroupWise.
One thing I normally do set when using ext3, besides the notaime parameter, is the time dependent check. I usually set that to 12 months. It's very annoying (and time consuming) to have the disk check kick in during a planned reboot.

Yes, correct. It is important to make sure the basic agent configuration is in working order (meaning the http pages for the agents have been enabled and LDAP server configuration and eDirectory sync is all set correctly and in working order before doing the upgrade). Even when moving from eDir, it's nice to have the upgrade routine be able to reconfigure those LDAP and sync bits correctly for 2014 before moving to a new directory.

Sure, though I'd not 2.01 can be applied directly as upgrade on your current 1.x Mobility system. Do make sure you set a snapshot on the VM before the upgrade (with the VM tunred off) and leave it long enough, a week or so, until you have checked and double checked all is working on the 2.01 system. That way it's easy enough to roll back to 1.x if needed.

Yep, and if the current filesystem is NSS... make sure to run it with the migrate (-m) option so the lowercase conversion runs with it.

Absolutely, and I'd also place that Webaccess/Calendar Publishing server in a DMZ if you have it. All that's needed with the 2012/2014 version is access to the SOAP port on the POA(s).

Photoshop CS3 is now closing when I attempt to save any file on our network.

Photoshop CS3 is now closing when I attempt to save any file on our network.
This has been occuring for the past few months. I have 8 years with this not happening on this machine and this network. I now have to save to my desktop, then move the file to the correct folder, re-open it and work from there. Any ideas to fix this??

Hi Andy,
This workflow might be working for you however it is not the ideal or correct workflow.
Please refer to below article.
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/networks-removable-media-photoshop-cs5.html
Photoshop is not supported while working with network drives. I would recommend an external or a local drive instead.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.
