Postmaster alias question

During the setup I've indicated somewhere that all mails for the postmaster account should be redirected to me. Now I want to stop this because I'm getting flooded with messages I don't want to have in my main inbox. I want to setup up a separate postmaster inbox.
But I don't remember WHERE I made that alias!? I've looked in etc/aliases and changed it there but I still get the messages. Do I need to restart the mail service? And can I do this while users are connected to their IMAP accounts or does this get the DB corrupted again? Which I absolutely want to avoid!!
I tried to look it up but wasn't really successful. Thanks.

Not knowing what your setup looks like there are five possibilities:
1. /etc/postfix/alias
2. /etc/postfix/virtual
3. you put a .forward file in the users directory
4. you defined a forwarding address inside the users record in Workgroup Manager
5. you used Sieve
Stop and Start Mail Services to be on the safe side.
This does not affect your IMAP users

MySQL - Alias Question

Hi Chaps,
Have a quick one for you...
In a SQL Query, I know you can create an alias for column name, eg.
...tbl_jobxml.job1 as job2
but can you create an alias for the value within that column, eg.
...tbl_jobxml.job1='y' as job2='Complete'
Sorry if this is dumb question, but better to ask that claim ignorance!

Hi Guys,
sorry to the delay in responding, basically this is what I want to do:
I want to show all results when:
- tableA
projectstatus='complete'
- tableB
projectstatus='complete'
- tableC
jobstatus='y'
I'm familiar with UNIONs and INNER JOINs, it's just not sure how to go about getting all the results form the 3 tables, when the values are different.

Apex 3.1.2 with Oracle 11G - /i/ alias question

I just recently installed Oracle 11G with Apex 3.0 and then upgraded Apex to 3.1.2. I am able to login and do most of the regular tasks. I built an application using custom flash components. When I used Apex with Oracle 10G, I can copy the SWF files to the directory mapped to /i/ alias and it worked fine.
Same is not working with 11G. First of all I am not sure to what path the /i/ in 11G is mapped to. Any help is greatly appreciated. I used Embedded Pl/Sql gateway.
Thanks

Dingfei,
You need to make sure that you have access to the "i" folder. Make sure that the alias defined in your dads.conf is properly configured.

Zsh alias question [solved (sort of)]

In my .zshrc, I have this line:
source /path/to/aliases_file
. The aliases file contains the line
alias -- -=popd
. When I log in or create a new urxvt window, I get the message:
/path/to/aliases_file:1: bad option: -=
But if I run exactly the same command manually,
alias -- -=popd
it works. Can anyone explain this to me? And is there a way to get the source command to apply that alias file without throwing the error?
Thanks.

EP6 SP2 Jco / System Alias Question

Hi all,
I'm developing a number of Iviews on an EP6 SP2 system connected to a 4.6C box. I have two problems that I'd be grateful for some help with.
1) How do I make use of the System Aliases set up in the portal via Jco ?
I know I can use the direct connection
JCO.createClient("001", // SAP client
          "<userid>", // userid
          "****", // password
             "EN", // language
                "<hostname>", //
          "00"); // system number
but it would be much easier if I could use the configured System Alias called "UKSAP" which has been set-up in each Portal box.
2) I believe that EP6 SP2 will not require connection pooling in the jco code. Is this correct ?
Cheers
Richard

Hi,
We are trying to do pretty much the same thing you are, I am trying to get my Java iview to use the System Alias to connect to an R/3 JCO destination.
Could you elaborate on your findings in this regard. I am currently getting the following error : "Target for system alias SAP_R3_HumanResources not found in system landscape"
I have entered the connection info for this target into the jcoDestinations.xml and I've created a system in the portal with the alias SAP_R3_HumanResources...
Thanks in advance,
Mukta Pathak

Column Alias Question

h1. Oracle 10
The SQL below gives me the following error...
*S0022(904)[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-00904: "APPROVED_TRANS": invalid identifier (0.06 secs)*
If I remove the alias from the SUM statement and replace "Approved_Trans" with "CHG_APRV_DISPUTE_AMT" in the WHERE clause, it works...
Can some one explain what Oracle thinks it can't do??
Thanks
Tom

D.DISPUTE_ID,

Having CHG_APRV_DISPUTE_AMT <> Approved For same reason you can't reference select list expression alias in WHERE clause. Aliases are assigned after WHERE, GROUP BY, analytic functions, etc. are performed but before ORDER BY. In fact, in ORDER BY alias overrides column names. For example:
SQL> select ename,
2          nvl(comm,0) comm
3    from emp
4    order by comm

Old Alias Question Revisited

I know it has been asked many a time, but I was just wondering if there has been any update in the quest for the option to change our discussion alias, or at least have it mimic that of our Apple ID?
Thanks.

Doesn't look like it's changed at all

CiscoWorks LMS version 4.0 Alias Question

Can anyone tell me how to add an alias to a device? I currently have IP addresses for interfaces in the Device Name field and it can be difficult identifying all the components/interfaces on a single device. It seems that adding a common alias to each component/interface of a device seems to be a way to do that.

I thought of that but I don't want to lose
visibility of the IP address, that's
why I thought about an alias.

Listener alias question.

I have two databases running on the same machine. I want to consolidate them into one database without having to change 1200 tsnames.ora files on the client machines.
Is there any way to set up the listener to accept connections bound for one SID and alias it to another SID?
The two SIDs are (creatively enough) PROD and PROD2. I want to get rid of PROD2 and make everybody that previously hid PROD2 get pointed to PROD instead.
Is this even possible?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi,
In the 1200 tnsnames.ora, there are lines like this :
PROD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xx.xx.xx.xx)(PORT = yyyy))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PROD)
PROD2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xx.xx.xx.xx)(PORT = yyyy))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PROD2)
To make that PROD2 to connect in your PROD, change the listener.ora on your server like this :
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = PROD)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\ora81)
(SID_NAME = PROD)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = PROD2)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\ora81)
(SID_NAME = PROD)
Hope this help you.
Nicolas.

Powerbook - Alias question

In ABC's Alias, Sydney Bristow uses a powerbook G4. On the glowing apple logo of the back of the computer is a round red (season 2) or light blue (season 3) translucent sticker. Does anyone know where I can get one of those? Its just an accessory.
Here's a link of what it looks like.
http://www.blogmac.it/index.php?Act=movie&argmovie=telefilm&id=213&mostra=1
Oh yeah this is a link that shows all the Apple products in Alias. Scroll down about halfway and you will see the powerbook.

I've seen those translucent circular 'dots' at office supply stores like Staples. Not sure what is the largest size they carry but it's a good place to start. Alias isn't the only show to use some type of covering to obscure any identifying markings on computers (especially Apples). CSI uses a Las Vegas Sheriffs dept. logo to cover theirs. Numbers is silver. They also go so far as to cover up the 'PowerBook G4' at the bottom edge of the LCD. Both shows even 'hide' OS X. Close ups on both computers often display a Windows (CSI) or Linux (Numbers) based OS instead of the Aqua themed OS X. Law & Order: SVU doesn't bother to cover up the glowing Apple on Dr. Huang's PB-Way to go L&O! 24 shows the 'good guys' routinely using Macs while the 'bad guys' use PC's. A hidden message there, perhaps?

Unable to Create Alias Entry

I have setup a new sever with Comm Suite on it. I recreated the user in the ldap sever and imported their email and calendar data. Everything is working great except one pesky problem. I changed the ldap structure in the new server to o=isp from dc=domain,dc=com in the old. My problem is that we have a lot of other servers that authenticate using the ldap server and I need to some how alias dc=domain,dc=com to point at o=isp but the ldap server keeps giving me the message.
adding new entry dc=domain,dc=com
ldap_add: No such object
I'm using Directory Server 6.0
Thanks for any help.
Josh

Hi,
1.) I was wondering what the command looks like that you are entering?
2.) Is o=isp at the top of the Directory Tree?
3.) Is dc=domain,dc=com at the top of the old Directory Tree?
RFC 4512 has some discussion about alias entries and RFC 4517 has info about DN matching rule syntax. http://www.ietf.org/
(Ran into this while researching SSL & LDAP and remembered seeing your post about alias question.)

Urgent - listener aliases

Hi I have a rather urgent issue - I thought this would be simple but it is not working. I feel I am close:
I have an instance name TIRAT04, but I am rebuilding it and must rename the new one TIRAT04A. I want all my applications to still be able to connect using the old SID, but am not having any luck. All client are jdbc thin, using the Oracle 10.2 driver.
I have gotten as far as being able to tnsping the new connection locally, but my jdbc client still give me the error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
Here is my listener.ora and tnsnames on the DB server:
listener.ora:

Anyone know what I am missing? Is this possible with the thin client?
appreciated!
Trevor

More info - I can connect with the EM console using the alias, but unfortunately this is an OCI connection, not JDBC thin. The problem seems to lie in the request for SID (jdbc) vs SERVICE_NAME (OCI)
06-MAY-2006 00:51:49 * (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=TIRAT06A)(CID=(PROGRAM=)(HOST=__jdbc__)(USER=))) * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.5.150.55)(PORT=2120 )) * establish * TIRAT06A * 12505
TNS-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
06-MAY-2006 01:02:38 * (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=TIRAT06A)(CID=(PROGRAM=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\jdk\jre\bin\java.exe)(HOST=TMARSHALL )(USER=tmarshall))) * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.5.150.55)(PORT=2185)) * establish * TIRAT06A * 0
How can I resolve SID to SERVICE_NAME, without changing the jdbc datasource in my applications? I know the SID is actually burned into the DB.
I followed this thread Listener alias question.
but it didn't help. Same problem, but not JDBC.

UWL usermapping using FM?

Hello.
I'd like to know if it's possible to do usermapping in the UWL/portal using a backend table?
For instance, is it possible to make the usermapping call a function module in backend to get the usermapping data?
My scenario is to have same userid in AD/portal and one backend, but an other userid in an other backend.
Also depending on the user, it will be the same userid in one or the other backendsystems.
User X has user X in backend A but user Y in backend B.
User M has user N in backend A but user M in backend B.
Thanks for any input!

Hello.
Thanks for your thoughts.
I agree this is not the best solution perhaps. Right now I just wanted to evaluate all possibilities.
I think the xxx_get_worklist, is just a functionmodule, and I don't belive it's possible to enhance actually.
Also, it changing users there would actually be wrong in the portal, for instance the transactional iview wouldn't work.
I looked here and its pretty clear stated that the options is either if the user maintain the usermapping himself, or you use one single user in the backend or you maintain the usermapping in LDAP.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f8/3b514ca29011d5bdeb006094191908/content.htm
I was hoping to find some Badi or something similar.
In Duet Enterprise, there is actually badis within the usermapping
Anyway, thank you for your thoughts, and leding me into the right direction. This is actually more a J2EE/Portal System Alias question then a UWL question.
Regards, Mikael
Just an update. Found out about the GenericABAPConnector here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/12d65d4e084ac886fcdf113909d03a/content.htm
That could be a way to connect with different users, and as the help page states: only under exceptional circumstances.
I hope I'm not there yet, but it's allways good to know there is this option

Interview questions on column alias

Hi
Interviewer asked me this question.
Why do we need an alias for column and is it improving query performance?
I said
if we select columns with same name from different table, alias is useful but no way related to query performance.
is it correct? Please explain me on alias topic

ALI 6.5 | CSS folders confusion| Detailed question

Hi All,
i am using ALI 6.5 portal env deployed on WL10.0. I am pretty much new to this ALI Portal. I am very much confused with the css folders and files residing under PT_HOME folder.
Can anyone please explain about these folders and files. Please find my questions below.
a))
In 'PT_HOME\ptimages\tools\cssmill\css' folder i can see css files with the following naming convention.
d_mainstyle##-**.css
mainstyle##-**.css
mainstyle-**.css
What is the significance of these file types.
b))
We have css files in the following locations
PT_HOME\ptimages\imageserver\plumtree\common\public\css
PT_HOME\ptimages\imageserver\plumtree\portal\private\css
The first folder has copied files from CSS mill and pretty understandable. The second folder is having only one file 'mainstyle.css'. What is the significance of these CSS files and In which scenarios's styles from these files will be used.
Thanks in advance,
Gowtham J

its all quite simple really...
many years ago, long before the dinosaurs, the plumtree people developed the CSSMILL tool to generate stylesheets so you could basically have different colors for different areas of your portal. (Unfortunately, they didn't use any of the "C" in CSS mill, resulting in huge onerous stylesheets) These stylesheets generated by the cssmill are supposed to be copied over to PT_HOME\ptimages\imageserver\plumtree\common\public\css after you make updates. I think in practice, many people skip this process and just edit the few stylesheets that they need directly.
Fast forward to the present day, when the BEA (formerly plumtree) people are creating adaptive layouts. They have to add the styles for the new adaptive layouts and sexy new look of the 6.5 portal into the existing stylesheet. Instead of using the CSS mill, they put the new styles in its own stylesheet, but decided to name it so it is confusingly similar sounding to the existing stylesheets. This is PT_HOME\ptimages\imageserver\plumtree\portal\private\css\mainstyle.css.
as far as your question here:
d_mainstyle##-**.css
mainstyle##-**.css
mainstyle-**.css
if i understand it correctly.... the mainstyle-**.css are never actually used...they may have been used in the past, but nowadays teh only stylesheets that are used are mainstyle##-**.css. The d_ is for 508 compatability mode.
