Optional DC based on dynamic IP address

Hi folks,
my question is really simple and the answer might be obvious to you but since I'm not and expert in Windows (and I'm asked to back my answer with examples) I would like to check it with you.
I have only found this thread similar in topic where the guy is putting a second DC with dynamic IP and nobody warns him from doing it, actually give him help.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/5f0398de-d0cd-4a57-bc8b-a483a91ebd80/how-to-add-additional-domain-controller-to-a-primary-domain-controller-having-a-dynamic-ip-address?forum=winservermanager
As to my case, we have two DCs (on the same LAN) and recently a third one was added for redundancy reasons, reachable through VPN (setup by other devices).
I always apply the general rule SERVER => static IP address and this situation falls within it imo.
I should give management the answer on whether this is recommended/discouraged bringing examples of any hindrances/problems that in your opinion this could cause.
Thanks in advance, Alex

Hi Muhammad,
I totally back your point of view. Such request comes from management and they would like me to explain why such a server canNOT have a dynamic IP address. In particular would be great to know which other problems (beyond dns cache is a good one) we may
hit, I mean they propose to rely on another DHCP server where the MAC address can be tied to a specific MAC address.
I guess that such implementation is seldom done and hence we don't have case studies where they proved that using dynamic IP addresses is not recommended or bad.
Thanks again, Alex

How to set "Cc" field in Dynamic Email address in Receiver JDBC adapter

I have done the configuration for setting up the dynamic email address using the XSD provided by SAP in note no 748024. It is working fine.
Michal's blog Mail Adapter (XI) - how to implement dynamic mail address. was a gr8 help in doing this.
But there is no clue of setting up of "CC" in email.
There should be "CC" in email is our bussiness requirement.
Would appreciate your helps.
with regards
Ravi Siddam

HI,
See fragment from help,
Specifications for mail attributes:
○       Under From, specify the e-mail address from which the message is sent.
○       Under To, specify the e-mail address that will receive the message. If you enter more than one address, you must separate them with a semicolon.
If you have specified an IMAP server under URL, the message is saved in the specified folder but is not sent to the receiver specified under To.
○       Under Cc, specify the other e-mail addresses to which the e-mail is to be sent.
These addresses are visible to the receiver.
○       Under Bcc, specify the other e-mail addresses to which the e-mail is to be sent.
These addresses are not visible to the receiver.
○       Enter the Subject of the e-mail message.
○       Specify whether you want to encode the content of the e-mail message. You have the following options:
■       None
■       Base64 (default value)
■       quoted-printable
Hope this helps.

Configuring Receiver mail adapter with dynamic email addresses

Hi,
I'm a newbie to XI and I have problems in configuring the Receiver mail adapter with the "Use Mail package" option selected. I am trying pickup a file (using file adapter on Sender side, picks up a simple XML file) and after mapping in XI, send the message as an email message to dynamic email addresses.
Everything works fine if I did not select the "Use Mail Package". But when I choose that option it errors out. I followed this blog posted on SDN -
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/07/mail-adapter-xi--how-to-implement-dynamic-mail-address
The following XML message is my source
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Somenamespace">
   <ns0:Message1>
      <ns1:studentlisttest xmlns:ns1="urn:karthiksender_to_karthikreceiver">

         </Mail>
      </ns1:studentlisttest>
   </ns0:Message1>
</ns0:Messages>
What I want to accomplish is, I have a simple message mapping where the Studentdetails are mapped to, lets say Customer details. For convenience lets keep it simple, StudentId --> Customerid, (student)Firstname --> (customer)Firstname, (Student)Lastname --> (customer)Lastname
I would like to get the Customer details as an XML attachment or in the body of an email with from, to and subject corresponding to that specified in the <Mail> node.
I followed the instructions posted on the blog and it works fine if I don't map the studentdetails to customerdetails. I did multimapping, with one source message (the xml file I posted above) and two target messages (customerdetails and Mail, which is the external definition posted on the blog). I beleive I'm missing something here. Could somebody please guide me through this?
Thanks
Karthik

hi,
I still have not found the solution for this problem. Michal, your blog works fine when my source message has got only the mail details. As per your advice, I tried modified the structure of the xsd file as follows

Route call based on source IP address

Hello Guys,
Is there a way to route calls based on source IP address?
I want to redirect calls to specific queues based on the ip of the phone who's starting it.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Filipe Leite

Hi Filipe
I'm assuming here that you are using CallManager rather than CME?
One option might be to use the 'device mobility' feature to assign a specific CSS to devices based on their IP subnet. That CSS could have the appropriate partitions to route to a seperate trigger that directs calls to a separate CSQ.
Of course, whether you can do this depends on whether it would be appropriate to override the device CSS in this way.

Email notification from Dynamic 'From' address

Hi,
Can we send emails using Email activity from a dynamic 'From' address? i.e. based on value of a BPEL variable?
I have tried this but always taking from the default From account defined in the Workflow Notification Properties under SOA-Infra-> SOA Admin in Eneterprise Manager.
All receipients (To, cc, Bcc) are working fine as dynamic. but not this 'From'.
Please let me know if we can't send email from a dynamic From Address?
Regards,
Sam
Edited by: Sam on Mar 13, 2012 5:58 AM

Sam,
I don't think we can do that.
I have tried it in the latest version too, but there is no scope to send any email dynamically.
The only thing we can do is chande manually, else tweak the WebLogic portal Java Api and get it changed.
Later one is a bit complex.
Thanks,
TIrumala Dixit.

How do I stop Firefox from redirecting me to another site based on my IPS address?

I work in California. Our corporate offices are in Oklahoma and my desktop computer is set up with an IPS address in OK. When I try to go to the CA website for AAA, Firefox redirects me to the OK website for AAA. How do I stop from being redirected to OK sites when trying to open CA sites?

hello eajames, sites can show you content and redirect you based on your IP address which will reveal your approximate location - there is not much a browser can do against this...

Hi,
If you do not need mail package for other reasons, I suppose it is enough to provide a value in Dynamic Configuration for fields "THeaderTO" and "THeaderCC" and the select "Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes" and "Variable Transport Binding" in receiver Mail Adapter.
see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6b/4493404f673028e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">SAP help</a> for more details.

Providing Access based on Client IP Address

Current Scenario -
SAP Portal is accessible directly and via Citrix (VPN).
Based on the URL alias - we have implemented Desktop Filtering.
eg if the URL ends with / internet - You get restricted roles
eg if the URL ends with / intranet - You get wider roles
In Production, we also have Netscaler Reverse Proxy and HTTPs settings in place for External (outside firewall) access.
New Requirement (Example) -
Based on the IP address of the client, determine which subnet it falls under and based on that -
If used within Citrix - Provide certain roles
If not used within Citrix - Restricted access / Redirect to a different URL on the redirect server.
Questions -
With the current desktop filtering in place based on URL determination and no specific restriction for inside/outside Citrix access -
1 - Please suggest which would be a good way to crack this? Inside Portal (IP address determination and SAP Logon modification) / Outside Portal (eg Citrix, Network OS Exit, Reverse Proxy etc) based on Best Practise ?
2 - Not sure if this is relevant : Find IP address of Client with webdybpro (This API works only in Web Dynpro and not PDK) ? I believe tweaking SAP Logon logic can get very painful and overtly complicated for such scenarios.
Thanks for your inputs ~ Dhanz

Vivek,
On the coding front -
1 - Will reading the IP address in the header field x-forwarded-for retrieve right results if reverse proxy is in place ? Wouldnt it retrieve the proxy / load balancer IP instead of Client IP ?
2 - Also we have HTTPS settings for extranet access - So encrypted data (eg Client IP ) is transferred that the Web Dispatcher cannot manipulate ?
Please suggest.
Remember to be polite

How to configure dynamic email address for notification

All,
I have a problem in assigning dynamic email address for notification activity in a bpel process, I want to assign a user from a user-properties file. How do I achieve this. I tried using the users in System-jazn-data.xml file, but if i add a email attribute to the existing users it doesn't show up. I am sure there should be an easier way of using identity service and adding attributes to the jazn realm user, I might be missing something.
I cannot have it as part of the payload the only way is to use identity service.
Thanks,
Chitra

Hi James,
Thanks for the reply. Its solved now. For anybody if interested you can set the dynamic email address either i) having it as part of payload - In this case use the xpath to query the payload varaible ii) use identity service - follow the following steps
1.Create a user in Application enterprise manager/also you can use a existing account, if u are creating a new one assign the correct role
2. In either case edit the user-properties.xml(bpel/system/services/config) file for the corresponding user and add an attribute called email
3. Bounce the server for this changes to take effect
4. In the notification properties in the to address use ids:getUserProperty and pass the attribute name

How to deal with dynamic IP address changes

I have installed Fodero C3 and Oracle 10g successfully. Oracle 10g use web OEM console to manage database. However, my internet provider only provided me a dynamic IP address. When I installed Fedora C3, Linux server automatically picked a Hostname like " ip12-345-678-90.dc.dc.cox.net". After I created database, all database files also used this hostname. Then Oracle web OEM console worked fine. Due to the dynamic IP address assigned by ISP, their DHCP server changed the first part of IP address(ip12-345-678-90)frequently to another one. After IP address changed, I couldn't start up web OEM console and listener because they couldn't find correct hostname (IP address). I have talked to my ISP. It seems that it can not be solved. Anyone knows how to deal with this problem through 10g and OEM console themseleves. I also think about to configure Linux server to solve the problem. I really need your help. Thanks in advance

Thank all of you so much to respond my questions. I think I have solved the problem. Since the key point was that Oracle 10g OEM console could not work with the frequent changes of IP address made by my ISP. I just bought a 54G wireless router. Then connecting router to cable modem. The cable modem still gets the dynamic IP from ISP, but the router automatically assigned a static IP address to my Linux system with the range from 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255. This IP was control by my router. It is nothing to do with ISP. So I re-created Oracle database with this new static IP. Then OEM console and listener can startup and connect to database without problem. I do think other guru's methods also will work. I just have no time to try them one by one. Thanks again. Your inputs make me learn many things.

Create graph based on dynamic table data

Hi Mostafa,
You can retrieve the data from your sql query in a backing bean and pass it on to Graph using the setTabularData method.
Here is the javadoc for the setTabulardata method:
