  • TCP EXTEND Server SIde configuration

    one of the configuration which is required for server proxy scheme is address ofteh server
    I can't specify localhost as server and tcp client is going to run on two differenet servers
    I have to run this tcp extend server for 3-4 server for failover support
    How can I specify address ( IP ADDRESS HERE) which can changed for each server configuration without specifying this config for each server differenetly
    can I replace this address besed on property or system parameter or spring injection.
    <proxy-scheme>
    <service-name>ExtendTcpProxyService</service-name>
    <thread-count>5</thread-count>
    <acceptor-config>
    <tcp-acceptor>
    <local-address>
    *<address>IP ADDRESS OF SERVER HERE</address>*
    <port>9099</port>
    </local-address>
    </tcp-acceptor>
    </acceptor-config>
    <autostart>true</autostart>
    </proxy-scheme>
    </caching-schemes>

    Why can't you use localhost? Surely this is what you want unless you are running on a machine with multiple network cards and need to bind to a particular address.
    If you really want to be able to specify a different address for each machine you can do this
    <proxy-scheme>
      <service-name>ExtendTcpProxyService</service-name>
      <thread-count>5</thread-count>
      <acceptor-config>
        <tcp-acceptor>
            <local-address>
                <address system-property="extend.address"></address>
                <port>9099</port>
            </local-address>
          </tcp-acceptor>
        </acceptor-config>
      <autostart>true</autostart>
    </proxy-scheme>Coherence will now use the value of the extend.address system property as the value for your address. This can be passed in on the command line like this:
    java -cp coherence.jar -Dextend.address=IP_ADDRESS_HERE com.tangosol.net.DefaultCacheServerObviously your command to start the cache servers would probably have more in it than that.

  • Configure SAP for server-side trust

    Hi all,
    I am installing BusinessObejcts XI integration for SAP Solution. I need configure SAP for server-side trust. I have read BussinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solution Installation Guide. In chapter 6, It introduce how to configure SAP Server-Side trust. But I don't understand how to configure SAP for server-side trust, specially configure SAP Cryptographic. Would you please to give me more detailed explanation?
    Please advise,
    Duypm

    Hi Duypm,
    the SAP server side configuration is part of the Installation Guide Chapter 6. It starts on Page 94.
    If you unclear about this and what SNC configuration means for the SAP server make sure you talk to the administrator for the SAP system. You need administrative rights for the SAP system and the system will have to be restarted as outlined in the installation guide

  • How to configure server side discovery for email account configuration as an email provider ?

    Hello,
    I would like to know if there is any way to provide configuration settings for a regular (not Exchange) email account on server side (email provider side) ?
    iPhone is supporting autodiscover for Exchange but doesn't seem to support it for regular POP or IMAP mail accounts.
    I would like to avoid going through Profiles.
    Regards,

    A further restriction of team workspaces and their inbox is that you cannot write mails on behalf of the tws's address.
    Also, you cannot define aliases on the inbox of a tws. There is an open ER 8824582: CREATE AN ALIAS FOR A TEAM WORKSPACE'S EMAIL ADDRESS
    Furthermore, you need to wait for 2.1 to have IMAP access on tws's (we definitely hope 2.1 will bring this feature).
    All this brought us to the decision of not using tws's inboxes at all (not defining mail addresses for them), and use (pseudo) personal workspaces and delegation for functional inboxes.

  • VLAN - require any configuration on server side/host level ?

    Hi all,
    I always thought VLAN separate broadcast domain, and create "virtual" LANs across 1 physical switch.
    Also, it is a configuration to be done on the network switch side, any packet that goes into a VLAN interface, will be tagged automatically according to the VLAN it is connected.
    ==============================================================
    However from the link below ->
    http://www.linuxhorizon.ro/vlans.html
    It seems like VLAN is done on the server side/host OS as well.
    ===============================================================
    Q1) can i confirm if we need to set any configuration on OS level for VLANs ? If no, what is the link above trying to achieve ?
    Regards
    Noob

    With a normal client connection, as CF says, there is no need for any special vlan configuration on the host.
    However I think that link is referring to using a trunk from the host to the switch.
    Hopefully you read my other response before this one but when I talk about trunk above I'm not talking about how Unix refers to a trunk, I am using Cisco terminology.
    A trunk in Cisco terminology is a link that can carry traffic for multiple vlans. And you can run a trunk to a host device and then that device can send and receive traffic for multiple vlans.
    It's not often done with PCs but it is more common with servers although a lot of servers still are only a member of one vlan.
    Without wishing to confuse you a common setup in the Cisco world is an etherchannel trunk between switches ie. a single logical link made up of multiple physical links that can carry traffic for multiple vlans.

  • Problem with skin for server side buttons.

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the skin for server side renderd buttons.
    In my CSS file I have :
    .AFButtonStartIcon:alias
    content:url(/skins/images/btns.JPG);
    .AFButtonEndIcon:alias
    content:url(/skins/images/btne.JPG);
    .AFButtonTopBackgroundIcon:alias
    content:url(/skins/images/btntb.JPG);
    .AFButtonBottomBackgroundIcon:alias
    content:url(/skins/images/btnbb.JPG);
    JPG files in project are in dir "public_html/skins/images".
    In WAR file,the JPG files are in "/skins/images" directory.
    Skin configuration is correct because other settings from CSS
    file are functioning fine after deploying.
    But buttons are standard browser buttons and are not taking the images i have used.
    In document provided by Oracle it says:
    (Note: These icons must be specified using either context-image or
    resource-image icons. Text-based icons are not allowed.)
    I am nt able to understand what this means?

    Perhaps this thread will help.

    The doc should say whether or not the width/height is a requirement. But since it doesn't mention it, try adding a width and height.

  • How can i load file into database from client-side to server-side

    i want to upload file from client-side to server-side, i use the following code to load blob into database.
    if the file is in the server-side, it can work, but if it in the client-side, it said that the system cannot find the file. i think it only will search the file is in the server-side or not, it will not search the client-side.
    how can i solve it without upload the file to the server first, then load it into database??
    try
    ResultSet rset = null;
    PreparedStatement pstmt =

    Hi,
    Without some more details of the configuration, its difficult to know
    what's happening here. For example, what do you mean by client side
    and server side, and where are you running the upload Java application?
    If you always run the application on the database server system, but can't
    open the file on a different machine, then it sounds like a file protection
    problem that isn't really connected with the database at all. That is to
    say, if the new FileInputStream (binaryFile) statement fails, then its not
    really a database problem, but a file protection issue. On the other hand,
    I can't explain what's happening if you run the program on the same machine
    as the document file (client machine), but you can't write the data to the
    server, assuming the JDBC connection string is set correctly to connect to
    the appropriate database server.
    If you can provide some more information, we'll try to help.

  • Scheduling web intelligence reports from SAP EP Portal : Server Side Trust

    Hello,
    We have set-up SSO between SAP EP 701, SAP BI 701 and Business Object XI 3.1  to allow users to access reports without having to sign-on again as explained here :
    /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/09/19/businessobjects-and-sap--configure-sap-authentication
    But, we have recently been contacted by some users because when scheduling Webi Report from a link within the portal they have the following errors :
    u201CA database error occured. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket. (WIS 10901) u201D
    The user told us that he doesn't encounter the error when :
    Login in directly to the BO Infoview (without SSO from the SAP Enterprise Portal.)
    The first Webi scheduling is succesful from the portal (I suppose because the portal token is still valid)
    I understand that we also have to configure the Server Side Trust between BO Enterprise server and the SAP BI7 backend as explained here , but I do not really understand its purpose
    https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001646962008E/XI3-1_BIP_SAP_INSTALL_EN.pdf
    I've found a similar discussions here ;
    Issue with SAP Single Sign-On and Scheduling Reports
    I still have some questions :
    If we configure the Server Side Trust between BO Enterprise server and the SAP BI7 backend .
    The Portal Logon ticket will remain an issue at some point of time , does it mean tha the WeBi report job sheduling should not be perfromed from the SAP EP Portal ?
    We haven't configured the Server Side Trust , yet the users told us that they are able to schedule webi report directly from the BO Infoview ? How is it posible ?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Regards.

    Thank you Mr Hilgefort for your detailled explanations.
    I now have to provide some explanations to my managers, and to be honest , there are still some points that
    are unclear to me, and it would be extremely helpful if could confirm (or not) the follwoing points.
    When scheduing Webi report from the sap portal, we're getting SSO errors.
    SAP provide the follwoing note explaining how to extend the validity of the J2EE token (Portal token), but this is not a long term solution, at certain point of time the ticket will expire. Webi shceduling should not be perfromed from the Portal.
    Sap note 1352127 - Scheduled Webi report fails with: A database error occurred. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket
    Webi Scheduling should be performed from BO Infoview. SNC should be configured between BO server and SAP BI7.0 backend.
    We should Configure Server SNC as explained in the BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solutions Installation and Administration Guide at Chapter "Configuring SAP for server-side trust". (1341043)
    The SAP Portal is not involved here and is not an option even with the configuration of SNC/Server side trust.
    thank you for your patience.
    Best Regards.

  • Is there any way to setup server side deferred delivery in Exchange 2013?

    We are utilizing 3rd party software to generate reports and email results.  Unfortunately, the software cannot be configured to execute at a specific time, date only.  This means that some reports are being processed and delivered at 12:00 am.
     For business reasons, management would prefer that those emails not be sent at midnight.
    We are looking for a solution that would allow the messages to be generated at midnight but not be delivered by Exchange until several hours later.
    Is there any way to set a deferred delivery option server side in Exchange?  It can be set through Outlook, but only applies to mail sent from Outlook.
    Any advise or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I afraid that it can't be done in Exchange with native features. You might need to develop custom transport agent or need to utilize the 3rd party tool to achieve this...
    You can try in Development forum to see if you can get any help there...

    Am i missing any connector side configurations here?
    Thanks

    please perform these tests,
    1- check if the reconciliation is working with the same user provided in the connector configurations?
    2- check if the user reconciled can be updated modified through the IDM Admin console?
    after this
    check that you are providing the proper OU for the user to be provisioned?
    check the the Resource History and see where it is failing maybe some required information is missing.
    have you applied the patch 14190610 for AD connector?

    How did you uninstalledLanguage Pack from SharePoint 2013 ? when I googled it I found that language pack cannot be uninstall@
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262108.aspx
    "If you no longer have to support a language for which you have installed a language pack, you can remove the language pack by using the Control Panel. Removing a language pack removes the language-specific site
    templates from the computer. All sites that were created that have those language-specific site templates will no longer work (the URL will produce a HTTP 500 - Internal server error page). Reinstalling the language pack will make the site functional again.
    You cannot remove the language pack for the version of SharePoint 2013 that you have installed on the server. For example, if you are running the Japanese version of SharePoint 2013, you cannot uninstall the Japanese language support for SharePoint 2013."

  • Error getting the server-side naming service functionality

    Hi all,
    we are currently setting up the CTS+ activity based transport scenario. Everything seems to be working fine, however, we have to import each transport twice...
    Before I go into detail in the error we get I will first describe our landscape. All the configuration we did was done in debate with SAP.
    We use the SAP Solution manager (ehp1 SP 4) as the CTS+ server as recommended by SAP and have an NWDI system of which we only use the components DTR and CBS (since CMS is not used anymore in the activity based transport). We have defined three logical ports/RFCs. CTSCONFIG points to the NWDI system. CTSDEPLOY is running on the java stack of the solution manager and is only used for portal content (=epa) transports. CTSDEPLOY_DI is pointing to the NWDI system and is used for all NWDI (=dip) changes. The NWDI is running ehp1 SP3.
    In STMS I defined all the non-abap systems (and configured them to use CTSDEPLOY_DI) and created the following transport route:
    upload system (IMP) -> DEV -> ACC -> QAS -> PRD
    I first attached the used dependencies in a transport request (SAP_BUILDT, EP_BUILDT, etc) these imported just fine. Then I did the SCA files which contain our custom code. I extracted these from the assemble step on our current NWDI system which will be removed as soon as we switch to the new CTS+ environment.
    When we import the transport into the runtime systems then we see the DTR and CBS be filled sucesfully for this specific system. However, the transport request itself always fails with errorcode 12 and the error is:
    Error during export service registration: Error getting the server-side naming service functionality during getInitialContext opera
    tion. com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NamingException: Error getting the server-side naming service functionality during getInitialContext operation.
    Error in execution of Web services CTSDEPLOY_DI , exception is cx_cts_file_import_failed
    File import canceled
    When we then reimport the same transport it will go the second time fine. This is no problem during the setup but will not be workable when we go live ofcourse. Is there anyone who had this issue before as well and have a solution for it?
    Kind Regards,
    Nico van der Linden...

    Hello Nico,
    I would need the java trace files to get more info on this issue, but you can start troubleshooting this error with these notes:
    #1172252: CTS+, 'attach file': Troubleshooting Guide;
    #1003674: Enhancement for non-ABAP systems in CTS;
    #1155884: CTS+, configuration 'close coupling': Troubleshooting guide;
    Pay special attention to parameter  NON_ABAP_WBO_CLIENT, whether it's correctly set on your CTS+ system(s).
    Note #1003674 is a must for any CTS+ systems to work properly, as well as having an updated version of the transport programs (tp and R3trans).
    Lastly, note #1155884 goes through some JCoException exceptions that commonly take place during CTS+ transports. But again, you need to check the underlying trace files to find the root cause of your issue.
    I hope this information helps.
    Best regards,
    Tomas Black

  • "Side-by-side configuration is incorrect" when trying to install MS DirSync tool

    Apologies if this is the wrong thread, but it seems like every thread is the wrong thread for this one :)  Yes, I've checked all the other "side-by-side configuration" threads, but none of them seems to apply to this case.
    I have a SBS 2012 machine, acting as DC, AD DS and DNS, and our organization has recently signed up for Office 365 Online E1, and we've migrated our mail there.  Everything is set up, but now I'd like to sync our AD with MS Online.  I enabled directory

    However, when I try to install it on the server, I get this error message:  "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please run sxtrace or see the application event log for more detail."
    Sxtrace gives the following results:
    =================
    Begin Activation Context Generation.
    Input Parameter:
    Flags = 0
    ProcessorArchitecture = AMD64
    CultureFallBacks = en-US;en
    ManifestPath = N:\temp\dirsync.exe
    AssemblyDirectory = N:\temp\
    Application Config File = 
    INFO: Parsing Manifest File N:\temp\dirsync.exe.
    INFO: Manifest Definition Identity is (null).
    ERROR: Line 0: XML Syntax error.
    ERROR: Activation Context generation failed.
    End Activation Context Generation.
    Things I've tried:
    Other posts seem to indicate that it's often an issue with missing visual C++ libraries, but I installed both the 2008 and 2010 C redistributables for x86 and x64, and nothing has changed.  
    One solution for a similar message had a typographical error in an xml configuration file, however in this case the "Application config file" field is blank.  
    As several other (non TN threads) around the 'net recommend, I ran SFC.  It appears to work for others with the same error message.  It fixed some issues and spit out a huge log file, but the problem persists, and I don't know where in the log
    file to look, assuming anything in there is relevant (the file is over 700kb, so I'm not going to start spamming big chunks of it just yet unless I know what to look for).
    The problem seems to come up in the context of software development (another thread on this subject is about the user developing an application from scratch) but I have no background in software dev, and this is supposed to be an official tool from Microsoft,
    for crying out loud, not some homebrew thing I'm putting together.  
    This one issue is keeping us from moving ahead with our entire plan for user access, so any help would be
    much appreciated. Thanks!!!

    Hi AGrush,
    Based on your description, did you mean that attempt to install Microsoft Azure Active Directory Sync tool
    on Windows Server 2012 Essentials?
    The Azure Active Directory Sync tool should be installed on a computer which isn't a domain controller. For
    more details, please refer to the System requirements in the following KB.
    How to troubleshoot Azure Active Directory Sync tool installation
    and Configuration Wizard error messages
    In addition, I’m a little confused that why install DirSync (That is what the Windows Server Essentials Office
    365 integration is for) on Windows Server 2012 Eseentails.
    Manage Office 365 in Windows Server Essentials
    If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
