Serv.Charge Determination

Can someone plzzzzz. help me resolve the following issue.
Here is the scenario.
Certain transporters DO NOT have a Service Tax No. while others DO.
The client generally deducts Service Tax from the Invoice of Transporters not having Serv.Tax and deposits it with concerned authorities.
How to map this scenario in Shipment Pricing.
Someone plzzzzz. help.
Regards.

how to resolve this Serv."Tax".Problem
I hope the topic is not about service tax but about shipment cost. If this is correct, then you already got solutions and you had not updated the forum properly as to whether what settings you have.
As I already indicated, while creating shipment cost, if the box is uneditable, then the root cause is you have not created a PO on the transport vendor. In fact, you had also confirmed this that PO has not been created. Create a PO and then create a fresh document and check.
thanks

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

E71 -- positioning server changed after F/W upgrad...

Hi Nokians,
After I have upgraded E71's firmware to 200.21.118, the GPS positioning server address is changed from
supl.nokia.com
to
h-slp.mnc016.mcc502.pub.3gppnetwork.org
Now my A-GPS not working. Previously, it took less than 1 minute to show my current position.
On another issue, If I turn "assisted" off, GPS is not working as well -- not able to showmy current position.

After fiddling around the GPS, and reading some posts here, my observation is as follows:-
If "assisted" is off and indoor, satellite cannot be locked, so "Map" will not show "my position".
If "assisted" is off and indoor but close to door or window, satellite maybe (but take a long time) or may not be locked
If "assisted" is off and I'm driving, satellite locking is about 5 minutes - 10 minutes.
Conclusion: best enable "assisted". Downside is, there GPRS/data charges by operator.
GPS signals are too weak to make it through most buildings, so your observations are not surprising.
I believe Assisted GPS using cell information to query a backend server to determine your approximate
location very quickly and then that helps the GPS to lock on faster. I've observed that a pure an simple
Garmin GPS can take 10 minutes or longer for initial lock, which makes Assisted GPS really attractive,
despite the additional cost.

Are form responses removed from Adobe server when deleted by user?

This is a server security question; when form responses are exported to excel, and then deleted from the workspace, do they remain on the Adobe server or are they gone? I need to know this to know the level of security that is applied to the server to determine if we can use Adobe with sensitive information. I understand forms are encrypted when responses are returned, but what happens to the information that is on the server?
Thanks

Crystal Reports Moved from one file server to another - very slow opening

Hello,
I am new here, and I am in need of a solution. If I am not in the correct forum, please advise.
Our crystal reports were moved from an old file server to a new file server. Once the old file server was shut down the reports opened very slow in Designer and in our 3rd party application. Our server team determined that the reports are still attempting to connect to the old file server. If the old file server is brought online or dns is changed to reflect another machine that it can make a connection to, it opens with no delay.
For some reason, not every report is affected. Most of the reports are Crystal 8.5, but I have some Crystal XI reports that do the same thing. I can't find any reference in the reports to any file server/location....
I need to resolve this issue on the Crystal 8.5 version due to the application that we are running.
Is there a way to fix this other than to recreate the reports (I have over 400 of them)?
Any assistance or advice is appreciated!
Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
The server info still needs to be updated. Are you setting location for each subreport also?
Possibly this registry key will help, I only have CR 2008 installed so you'll have adjust for what ever you are using:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions - VerifyStoredProceduresOnFirstRefresh = No
and
VerifyStoredProceduresOnSetLocation = No
And
VerifyWhenDBDriverUpgraded = No
And
ViewOutOfPlaceSubreports = No
Close CR designer before making any changes. And the usual warning about modifying the registry.
Thank you

Unable to Connect to Database (after server has been re-started)

Hi, I use Essbase Admin Services 7.1.3 and the server was not responding, therefore our IT guys re-started it. Since then I am unable to connect to one of the applications. I have tried to start/Stop the application but it just says "Application did not start". There are 6 databases in this application altogether (3 data and 2 Currency). The application has been there for about 3 years (it holds historic sales data) and there has never been any problems with it. When I tried to Start the application, in the message panel at the bottom it says "Error: 1013015 Unable to Connect to Database (2003)". It's as if there is a problem with this 2003 database but the 2002 and 2004 database are OK. Has anyone ever had this problem and knows how to rectify it?? Thanks in advance. Sarah

It may be that the server restart corrupted the database. Go into database properties and uncheck the box start database with application and then try to restart the application. You can try database validation, or simply reload the database from backup. But you can get the application up and the rest of the databases up by decoupling the database restart from the application start. There will be a .xcp log file in your application directory (and possibly your database directory.) These might help Hyperion Support in identifying the cause of the problem. But the quickest solution would be to reload the database from backup. The serer and application logs can also provide help in identifying the problem. One of the keys is to determine why the server is not responding before restarting the server. It may be that a single application is the source of problem. Typical causes are unscheduled free space restructures, application loads of large databases, and an occasional rogue process. Rather than rebooting the entire box, or even restarting the Essbase server, the safest approach is to only kill the job that is soaking up the cpu cycles, causing the server to be unresponsive. This requires identifying the offending process (esssvr.exe) and killingit. Often that restores the rest of the system to operations, giving you time to focus onthe offending application. You learn thses things when you are pushing the server to its limits (or beyond). If it happens often, you need to do a serious performance audit of teh server and determine whether you need more power and/or memory. And in any case, you are less likely to encounter this sort of problem in the future if you try to limit applications to a single database. This will allow a better utilization of system resources. And also, it's a good idea to shut down applications that you are not going to be using for a while. Every loaded app takes system resources whether or not it is doing anything. So review your list of apps that start on startup and consider unloading apps after completing batch processing. Sorry about the long lecture, but I speak from somewhat painful experience. I hope that this will help you.

Content server for Document attachment through "services for object" Icon.

Guys,
I have typical problem in installation of Content server for storing external documents.
We all know that we can attach the document in SAP using the icon SERVICES FOR OBJECT. By this we can attach the document to the specific object we want.
-Since my client wants only document attachment method not to completely implement SAP DMS, I proposed this method of attaching documents through services for object method.
-If documents are stored though services for object ,The attached document will directly get stored in sap database(correct me if I am wrong) while in DMS it ask you to select the storage location while u check in for any document
-By storing the doc thru "services for object " For long run when we store the documents in sap database our system will drastically get slow down.
-In this regard I have a plan to incorporate external storage server.
-Now I should know that how I should customize content server configuration so that the attachment through services for object will store into this content server I need to know how to define Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port. (OACT & OAC0)
I appreciate for immediate solution and Points will be rewarded for sure.
Regards,
Murali.S

Hi Murali,
Don't Worry, its possible,
All attachments can be stored in SAP Content Server also, but through archiving process.
Set up a database storage system.
Preparation
Make sure that the HTTP plugin is active.
Transaction SMICM, "Display Services" function key (shift F1)). The list of services must contain a port other than 0 for HTTP.If not, you must adjust the relevant profile parameter.
Typical entry:
icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP, PORT=1080, TIMEOUT=900
Make sure that the /sap/bc/contentserver service is active.
If no user is defined, then use transaction SU01 to create a new user. Use the "System" user type.Assign
the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to the user. (Eg: HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER etc)
Transaction SICF, select: default_host - sap - bc -contentserver. Select the function to display/change the service. Make sure that a user is defined.
Using the relevant data from the newly created user, maintain the anonymous logon data for the
/default_host/sap/bc/ service and save & activate the changes in transaction SICF. Double click on content server and give the user name which has been created (HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER/MMUSER etc)
Check the system PSE.
Start transaction STRUST. Expand the system PSE. The system PSE must be "green" for each application
server.
Determine a suitable exchange directory.
The exchange directory must be accessible from each application server. If all application servers are running on the same platform (for example, Windows), one network directory that is accessible on all application server (for example,
server\share) is sufficient. You can generally use the global directory
(profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL).You can use the RSPARAM report to determine the profile parameters.
Setting up the storage
Create a table for storing the data. Using transaction SE11, create a copy of the SDOKCONT1
table. If you want to create the repository database, you can name the table ZCONT_DB, for example. Save the
table as a local object. Activate the table.
Create a repository.
Use transaction OAC0 to create a new repository.
Use the following parameters:
Repository Max. two characters, for example, Z1
DocArea: ARCHLINK
Storage type: R/3 database
Storage subtype: normal
Version no. : 0046
Contents table <table name> for example: ZCONT_DB
Exchange directory <directory name> for example:
server\share\
Make sure that the exchange list ends with a \ (or /on Unix).If you are using a variety of platforms, you must use transaction FILE to define a suitable logical file name and use this name. Save the settings.
1. Maintain view table TOAAR_C, via SM31
 Cross client table displayed as information, forget it
2. In field 'StSytm' you must entered 'Z1' as your system need, or anything that you need but you must configure HR Archive link too.
3. In field 'Arch.path' (direct above Spoolpath), entered path in your system, this real path in your operating system. May be you should confirm to your Basis consultant where exactly you could store picture files. So if you enter '/', your file exists at root directory at your UNIX system.
4. Choose 'File store' radio button
5. Save.
First
1. You have to create a number range for SAP ArchiveLink.
 IMG: Basis Components-> Basis Services -> SAP ArchiveLink -> Basic Settings-> Maintain number ranges
 (Trxn OANR). Create number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 without the external number flag.
2. Document type HRICOLFOTO must exist with document class JPG.
 IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->System Settings->Maintain document types
 (Table TOAVE, Trxn OAC2).
3. Document type HRICOLFOTO must be linked to object type PREL and Infotype PA0002.
 IMG: Personnel Management->Personnel Administration->Tools->Optical archiving->Set up Optical Archiving
 in HR. (View V_T585O, no Trxn). In the first two columns there are minuses, the third (Date) has
 a plus - don't put a flag in the check box.
4. Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO and object type
 PREL. IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->Basic Settings->Maintain Links (Table
 TOAOM_C, Trxn).
Test
Test the repository.
Use transaction SE38 to start the RSCMSTH0 report. Specify your repository (i.e. Z1) and start the test.
The report must run without errors. If no problems occurred, you can use the new repository with Archive Link after you carry out the Archive Link Customizing. If problems do occur, check whether one of the related
notes helps.
For More Details :
http://service.sap.com/archivelink.

NOTE:- Screen Shots are missing, i was not able to paste here, One more thing is we did this for uploading a PHOTOS into Content Server, Similarly you have to create a REPOSITORY and Z-TABLE to bring all the Attachments from all the selected Objects and then route them to the CONTENT REPOSITORY.
Your Senior ABAP guy would help you in this, if not i may try to help you more by monday.

Conditional execution of syndication server

I have a requirement for conditional execution of syndication server. Is it possible to automate syndication server to run based on a predefined search and Map. I know we can do using syndication client but can we do the same using syndication server. Thank you in advance.
Regards
Bala Pochareddy

Hi,
I am not sure what kind of "Conditional Execution" you are looking for.
Syndication Server is based on the "Port" concept and we can associate an already saved Syndicator Map that also includes your Search criteria. So, the syndication server simply executes this map at a defined interval and places the file in the appropriate folder of the "Port". But, Syndication server cannot determine the map to be executed based on a condition and it also cannot determine search criteria within a map based on a condition.
If your requirement is to execute a map based on a condition, I suggest you to use "Syndicator Batch" commands and use a program that triggers appropriate map based on this condition.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rajani

Any way to synchronize without creating file on server

Is there any way to setup Dreamweaver (DW) MX 2004 and 8 so
that the Synchronize feature does NOT need to create a file on the
server? For my website, I have individual folders under the
document root folder that I give write access to various staff in
my organization who then use DW to maintain their web pages in
their folder. I do not give them write access to the document root
however as I don't want them accidentally deleting someone else's
folder (the server is Unix running Apache).
The problem with all of this is that they can't use
Synchronize in DW MX 2004 (and version 8 as well I believe) because
DW creates a file in the document root folder on the server to
determine the date/time on the server, but I don't give them write
access to this folder.
Is there any way to setup DW to get the date/time on the
server without needing write access to the document root of the
server (for example, maybe specify in each copy of DW where to
attempt to create the file)? If not, then PLEASE, PLEASE consider
changing this for the next version of DW.

David,
I just tested this with Dreamweaver (DW) 8 and it does NOT
work.
If I make the document root (i.e., the top folder on the
server that corresponds to my website) unwriteable by a particular
user, they can't synchronize. I tested this by creating a new
sub-folder on the server and putting a test file in that folder
(called test.html), created the same sub-folder on the users local
machine in their site definition and then tried synchronizing. Only
when I give them write permission to the document root folder can
they synchronize - otherwise, DW 8 says that there is nothing to
synchronize.
Any ideas what's going on? As I stated previously, I don't
give write permission to the document root folder for the majority
of the users on my web server, I just give most of them write
permission to specific sub-folders underneath the root folder. As
it stands now, none of them can use synchronize which is one of the
key features they would like to use in Dreamweaver.

Disconnect WSUS server and Process of Approving Updates via Metadata.

Hi Folks:
I have recently setup 2 WSUS servers. The first one has connectivity to the Internet and of course has access to Microsoft updates. The second WSUS server is part of a disconnected network. Both WSUS servers are supporting client workstations
of various operating system versions. The connected WSUS server is fairly easy, from a management viewpoint. I simply check to see what updates are "Needed" and I approve them for download. However, the disconnected WSUS server
is the one that I need some advice on. I want to have a fairly simply procedure for the disconnected WSUS server, but here is the procedure that I think would work:
Transfer metadata and updates via disc from the connected WSUS server to the disconnected WSUS server (using documented export/import procedure).
Check to see what is "Needed" updates on the disconnected WSUS server, once the WSUS server has had a chance to absorb all the imported metadata and updates. This means that the disconnected WSUS server has determined from it's supported
client workstations, what updates are required.
Generate a list of those "Needed" updates in some form, so that I can now approve those updates on the CONNECTED WSUS server for download.
Once those updates have been downloaded to the connected WSUS server, transfer the updates and metadata again to the disconnected WSUS server. Approve those updates, so that they can now be sent out to the client workstations on the disconnected
network.
If that is my procedure (can someone like Lawrence Garvin), please let me know, if that sounds correct. I'm concerned about the double export/import of the metadata and updates.
Also, I'm wondering if it would be better to have separate connected WSUS server for supporting the disconnected WSUS to keep things straight.
For example:
One connected WSUS servers supporting the set of client workstations, that are on the connect WSUS server's network.
One disconnected WSUS server supporting the set of client workstations that are on the disconnected WSUS server's network.
One more connected WSUS server, that would be used to download and transfer metadata and updates to the disconnect WSUS server. The advantage in keeping this separate, is that you would never confuse approved updates between the connected network
client workstations and the disconnected network client workstations. Especially, if they have different versions of software, that require updating.
Any input would be appreciated.

You will likely also want to configure your WSUS server to "Download express installation files." under the "Update Files and Languages," setting on your options.
I will unequivocally disagree with this statement, for several reasons:
First, there's nothing that needs to be deployed that would use Express Installation Files anyway. Express Installation Files were designed to facilitate the deployment of Very Large Updates (read: SERVICE PACKS) across slow-speed links by significantly
reducing the size of the binary that must be downloaded by the CLIENT. There are NO service packs in the catalog that won't already be installed on any client system.
Second, in exchange for that ability of clients to download less, it significantly increased the size of the binary that must be downloaded by the SERVER from Microsoft. Express Installation Files will cause hundreds of gigabytes of extra binaries to be
downloaded, which will need to be transferred to the disconnected server. None of which will actually ever be used.
Third, most disconnected networks do not include WAN links, so the primary purpose of Express Installation File is contra-indicated by the very scenario being discussed.
Otherwise by default you might get just an installer downloaded onto the WSUS server and clients might still need internet access to download the actual package contents.
It would seem that you do not correctly understand Express Installation Files.
There is an in-depth explanation of Express Installation Files in the WSUS Deployment Guide. For additional information see
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939908(v=ws.10).aspx#express
I also would not recommend a internet facing WSUS server just to provide updates to the disconnected WSUS server as that will also need to download a full copy of the content to that server when it is likely already downloaded onto your internet
/ production WSUS server anyway.
Seemingly you are also not actually familiar with the documented guidance for how to manage disconnected networks. An Internet-facing (connected) WSUS server is *exactly* how this is done.
You may also find this part of the Deployment Guide to be useful reading:
Configure a Disconnected Network to Receive Updates

Project Server 2013 Anonymous Access (SP or PS modes)

Greetings,
This has become quite painful. I have two tickets opened with M$ and I've never witnessed that with which I am witnessing.
Simple question, how to enable Project Server 2013 Anonymous Access...I've been at it for over a week, I've tried in both SP perms mode and PS perms mode. And I've built a bone stock SP/PS server to determine if my farm's jacked or not. I get
the exact same behavior...prompt for creds. M$ told me today that anon has never ever been something offered in SP or PS today or at any point in the past. A simple gotomeeting sent that group reeling out off into outer space. I'm glad I
could help them on their technical journey, but damn't if I don't feel used for spending $1000 on two tickets.
Tried everything I could possibly think of...Please help, before I eat a bullet.

When you enable anonymous access to a Web site, you allow anonymous users (and authenticated users who have not been granted access to the site) to browse the entire Web site, including any list, library, folder within a list or library, list item, or document
that inherits its permissions from the Web site
I think you are referring to PWA/_layouts/15/user.aspx if I understood your query correctly.
As you could read, its referring to SharePoint list and libraries and not Project Webpart data.
Anonymous Access: Specify what parts of your Web site (if any) anonymous users can access. If you select Entire Web site, anonymous users will be able to view all pages in your Web site and view all lists and items which inherit permissions
from the Web site. If you select Lists and libraries, anonymous users will be able to view and change items only for those lists and libraries that have enabled permissions for anonymous users.
So this anonymous doesn't mean users can access, PWA pages like Projects.aspx with anonymous account. If this happens all anonymous users would see all projects...
Project PWA site, has pages like tasks.aspx, projects.aspx, Timesheets.aspx, etc. Users who access Project Server 2010 through the Web interface (Microsoft Project Web App) use these pages that are composed of Web Parts, which are modular elements that present
information on SharePoint pages. Now, to get users based data, this checks for user role, permission and data is rendered.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg314584(v=office.14).aspx
I am curious to know if you would like all users who have not been granted access to the site also access your projects? What is the objective or business requirement you are trying to solve here.

Server 2012 NPS NAP DHCP for VPN

I have setup a server with DHCP and NPS and configured NAP DHCP.
DHCP has 1 scope and the default scope options 003 router, 005 DNS server and 015 Domain Name (domain.com).
Further In DHCP i created a DHCP policy so it assigns a different 005 DNS server and 015 Domain Name (restricted.domain.com) to non-compliant clients. NPS/NAP DHCP is working (all is setup health, shv, gpo etc.. Health Validator is only checking if firewall
is runnning) so when i connect a client with firewall i get a normal IP from the scopt with the scope options and domain suffix domain.com. When i disable the firewall i get an IP from the DHCP scope, no gateway, subnet 255.255.255.255 and domain suffix restricted.domain.com
so all works well and as NAP DHCP should work.
Now i have an seperate RRAS server configured as VPN server and configured my DHCP/NPS server as an Radius Authentication Provider. Also a DHCP relay agent is configured in RRAS
On my DHCP/NPS server i configured my RRAS server as a Radius Client (nap-capable).
My questions:
Q1. can i use NAP DHCP for vpn clients, as VPN clients get IP address from my DHCP server? i know there is a NAP VPN option but i want to use NAP DHCP cause NAP DHCP and NAP VPN don;t work together and i want NAP DHCP for internal clients.
My problem:
P1. with setup above i cannot setup a VPN connection from an external client i get an error "Error 812:The connection was prevented because of a policy configured on your RAS/VPN server.specfically ,the authentication method used by the server to verify
your usename and password may not match the auithentication method configured in your connection profile .Please contact the Administrator of the RAS server and notify them of this error"
I can resolve my problem P1 by running "configure VPN for Dial-Up" with the option "Radius server for Dial-Up or VPN connections." This creates 1 Connection Request Policy and 1 Network Policy, in the policy i set authtorized to windows
group domain admins
But then I have an issue with NAP DHCP...
When i have a non-domain joined external client, where i have enabled NAP client in services.msc and DHCP Enforcement in local policy i can setup a VPN connection but from the DHCP server i get an IP addres from the subnet/scope and domain suffix domain.com,
so this is working OK. But when i disconnnect the VPN client and disable and stopthe firewall and connect the VPN again its not getting restricted running ipconfig /all shows its not restricted and also Netsh nap client show state > shows its not restricted
BUT it SHOULD be restricted as the firewall is off.
What could be wrong?

Hi,
After discussed with so many people, I think this will not work.
First we need know how DHCP enforcement works.
1. The DHCP client sends a DHCP request message to the DHCP server.
If the DHCP client has an SoH, the DHCP request message includes it. The SoH contains information about the health of the client. The DHCP server passes the SoH to
the NPS server. The NPS server communicates with the policy server to determine whether the SoH is valid.
2. If the SoH is valid, the DHCP server assigns the DHCP client a complete IP address configuration. The DHCP client has unlimited access to the network, as defined
by policy.
3. If the SoH is not valid, the DHCP server limits the access of the DHCP client to the restricted network and assigns it a limited access subnet mask and static
routes, as defined by policy.
But VPN clients get IPs in a different way. It uses the IP Control Protocol (IPCP) as part of the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection setup. Everything is done
in VPN tunnel.
Hope this helps.

Monitoring an applet on a thin client from the server

Hello all,
I'm not even sure if this is possible or not, but here is what I would like to do.
I want to be able to monitor an applet running on a remote thin client device from the central server to determine if there have been any problems (exceptions, device failures, etc).
I'll be using java 1.5.0. If you require more info please let me know.
Thanks,

But would anyone know if there is a similar method for applets?
What makes you think you can't use that technique in an applet? Use that, and contact the server when there's an uncaught exception.
You'll probably want to report a number of caught exceptions too (unless you're really bad at handling exceptions).
Best bet is to use a utility class on your applet with a method like "logError(Throwable t, String message)" which will send the details up to the server, maybe output to the console, maybe even pop up a dialog. If you did this via an interface you could plug in different implementations and compound them if required.

Exchange Server 2013 Monitoring Software

Greetings,
Any suggestion for Exchange Server 2013 monitoring software that is capable of :
1- Monitoring Server Status / Health / Resource Utilization / etc..
2- Incoming / Outgoing email messages to / from the organization
3- monitoring specific mailbox for incoming/outgoing messages
4- spam detection
5- message content when monitoring mailboxes
Thanking you

Hi Jamil,
If you are using hardware appliance then you can check with the hardware appliance vendor for the functionality or you can enable anti spam agent on mailbox server role as well. Mailbox server role will provide you following anti x facilities once enabled.
Sender Filter agent: compares the sender on the MAIL FROM:
SMTP command to an administrator-defined list of senders or sender domains who are prohibited from sending messages to the organization to determine what action, if any, to take on an inbound message;
Recipient Filter agent: compares the message recipients on the
RCPT TO: SMTP command to an administrator-defined Recipient Block list. If a match is found, the message is not permitted to enter the organization. The recipient filter also compares recipients on inbound messages to the local recipient directory
to determine whether the message is addressed to valid recipients. When a message is not addressed to valid recipients, it is rejected;
Sender ID agent: relies on the IP address of the sending server and the Purported Responsible Address (PRA) of the sender to determine whether the sender is spoofed or not;
Content Filter agent: assesses the contents of a message and also acts on the safelist aggregation feature, which collects data from the anti-spam safe lists that Outlook and Outlook Web App users configure and makes this data available
to the Content Filter agent;
Protocol Analysis agent: is the underlying agent that implements the sender reputation functionality. Sender reputation relies on persisted data about the IP address of the sending server to determine what action, if any, to take on an
inbound message. A Sender Reputation Level (SRL) is calculated from several sender characteristics that are derived from message analysis and external tests.
If you are not interested to use EOP then you have the option to use GFI or any third party tool. I would suggest if you are using hardware appliance then this would be done by the hardware appliance if capable of doing this. Thanks.

Email Server Monitoring Methods

I am about to develop an Email Server monitoring project. I have several questions about it:
1. Whats the best method to do it ? (in term of accuracy and work load)
2. I've been reading on some round-robin method which expect a reply from an email server to determine the status of the server. Whats the difference between this method and the conventional way (which sends email to server and doesnt expect for a reply), Isn't the latter method sufficient and accurate enough ?
Thats what I'd like to know. Any other suggestions are also welcome. Thanks.

* Simple SMTP Client that allows your Java App send emails.
* Uses Java Sockets to connect directly to an SMTP server.
* It supports sending of plain text or HTML emails.
* Bonus: Unlike many other Java SMTP Sockets examples, this one actually works.

public class Emailer {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
 String results = send("localhost",

 System.out.println(results);
 * Sends an email.
 * @return The full SMTP conversation as a string.
 public static String send(

 String to,
 String from,
 String subject,
 String message) throws Exception {
 // Save the SMTP conversation into this buffer (for debugging if necessary)
 StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
 try {
 // Connect to the SMTP server running on the local machine. Usually this is SendMail
 Socket smtpSocket = new Socket(host, port);
 // We send commands TO the server with this
 DataOutputStream output = new DataOutputStream(smtpSocket.getOutputStream());
 // And recieve responses FROM the server with this
 BufferedReader input =
 new BufferedReader(
 new InputStreamReader(
 new DataInputStream(smtpSocket.getInputStream())));
 try {

 read(input, buffer);
 // Start the message
 send(output, "DATA\r\n", buffer);
 read(input, buffer);
 // Set the subject
 send(output, "Subject: " + subject + "\r\n", buffer);
 // If we detect HTML in the message, set the content type so it displays
 // properly in the recipient's email client.
 if (message.indexOf("<") == -1) {
 send(output, "Content-type: text/plain; charset=\"us-ascii\"\r\n", buffer);
 } else {
 send(output, "Content-type: text/html; charset=\"us-ascii\"\r\n", buffer);
 // Send the message
 send(output, message, buffer);
 // Finish the message
 send(output, "\r\n.\r\n", buffer);
 read(input, buffer);
 // Close the socket
 smtpSocket.close();
 catch (IOException e) {
 System.out.println("Cannot send email as an error occurred.");
 catch (Exception e) {
 System.out.println("Host unknown");
 return buffer.toString();
 * Sends a message to the server using the DataOutputStream's writeBytes() method.
 * Saves what was sent to the buffer so we can record the conversation.
 private static void send(DataOutputStream output,
 String data,
 StringBuffer buffer)
 throws IOException {
 output.writeBytes(data);
 buffer.append(data);
 * Reads a line from the server and adds it onto the conversation buffer.
 private static void read(BufferedReader br, StringBuffer buffer) throws IOException {
 int c;
 while ((c = br.read()) != -1) {
 buffer.append((char) c);
 if (c == '\n') {
 break;
}Is the above code considered as low level approach ?
I tested it so far and it works only for some mail servers (https://inetmon.com and https://nav6.org). However when I tried to send an email to myself in gmail.com it doesnt work. It catches an expection and prints "Host Unknown". Any idea how to fix it ?
