Setting MX Record When Web and Email on Different Servers

We're moving our website to a new server, but am worried about how to set the DNS record so email keeps going to the old one.
I understand that when I change the A name to the new website's IP address, I should make a new A name, "mail.ourdomain.com" that points to the old/email server's IP address. Then I'd switch the MX record to mail.ourdomain.com.
Now, assuming that's right, what do I need to change on the old/email server. Do I need to change its mail setup to account for "mail.ourdomain.com" instead of simply "ourdomain.com"? Bearing in mind that we want that server to continue accepting mail in the format [email protected]

ROb
If I understand your situation correctly you shouldn't have to change the MX record. You should simply add a record for www and a "null" record that go to the new IP where your website is listed. Post a domain and a dig for more specific help if you like.

Upgrading from 7.5 to version 8: Web and Email Collaboration problem

Hi All;
To be able to upgrade from 7.5 to version 8.x then the web and email collaboration should be removed and this is the hard thing !
To go through all the web collaboration objects and remove it one after one is something not possible, special when I am trying to remove for example an agent who is belonging to the skill group and it gives us: you do not have a permission !!
So I decided to do a clean at the database level (specially that the problem appears when running EDMT), I need a help to know the following to be able to do this cleaning:
1) Should I do this in the side_A database or on the AWDB?
2) If I removed the Application Instance that is related to the Collaboration, could this resolve the problem to do the upgrade from version 7.5 to 8.x? Or I have to delete all the values related to the Collaboration (for example, the media class, the used skill group and the used agents, ... etc)?
Looking to a help PLZ.

10g: HTTP Server and OC4J on different servers?

Can anyone assist with configuring HTTP Server and OC4J on different servers?
I installed AS 10g on both; our application runs fine on one server, with the HTTP Server and OC4J both on the same box.
I need to also test this with the HTTP Server on a separate box.
I added this to mod_ocj4.conf:
Oc4jMount /indox-qa1
instance://cvodev2:oas_dev2.cvodev2.int.sys.com:indox-qa1
Oc4jMount /indox-qa1/*
instance://cvodev2:oas_dev2.cvodev2.int.sys.com:indox-qa1
But when I try to access something like http://cvodev4/indox-qa1 I get this in the logs:
[Wed Jul 06 16:54:10 2005] [warn] [client 10.1.1.231] [ecid: 1120683250:192.152.136.127:1248:1544:1,0] MOD_OC4J_0184: Failed to find an oc4j process for destination: instance://cvodev2.int.camsys.com:oas_dev2.cvodev2.int.camsys.com:indor-qa1

I did some ethernet sniffing and it doesn't look to me like the OHS box is even trying to contact the OC4J box.
Is there more configuration I need to do beyond this?
Thanks,

ADS in ABAP and JAVA on different servers

Dear community,
I need to run ADS with ABAP and JAVA on different servers but after read and apply every step on The ADS Configuration Guide, still getting doubts and problems. Those steps work succesfully on a server with ABAP+JAVA on same server. Those are the problems:
When I perform the report test FP_TEST_00 i get this error:
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: Problem accessing d(200101)
I haven't found a a detailed procedure to set on ABAP and JAVA on different servers...
Do you know any procedure to set this scenario??
As a result, I don't know which role i must assign to adsuser on Java UME because i did not found any SAP_ADSCALLER role as i have ridden on some forums or blogs...
I try to set ADS on ABAP+JAVA on different servers by this official guides:
The ADS Configuration Guide:

HI again,
ADS_AGENT now has sap_all but still same problem:
Creating or Changing the Destination Service, On Visual Administrator/Destinations/HTTP/ FP_ICF_DATA_<SID>
When I set the URL http://<hostname>:<HTTP_port> i am getting error Received HTTP response 502
- If I paste the http://<hostname>:<HTTP_port> +
- Enter the appropriate client number of the system, where the service user ADS_AGENT exists into the client field. Keep the other fields System ID and Language empty +
- Under Logon Data, choose BASIC in the Authentication field. +
- Enter ADS_AGENT in the Username field and enter the same password as given for this service user in the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP in the Password field
- Choose Save and Test and Received HTTP response 502 appears.
But if I paste on Explorer http://<hostname>:<HTTP_port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/fp_test_00.xdp, request User (ADS_AGENT) +Pwd and work ok, so error only appears by Visual Administrator...
Anybody knows how can resolve this doubt?
Thanks in advance

I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?

I think I have it working on my iPhone 5. But, I do not see how I can control the exit point that I would like for the VPN. Are all the exit points shown in the VPN setting now going to work with Open VPN, or do they remain PPTP? If I am reading correctly, they look like they remain PPTP. If I cannot control the exit point for open VPN, which exit point is the default in the profile you provided me?I note that Open VPN Connect does not work with any of the new 64 bit devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the new iPad MIni. Is there any chance that you guys will come up with an update for your app so that open VPN can be made to work on all iOS devices? That would be nice, particularly if the Open VPN Connect app does not give me a choice of exit points.Thanks,

Just a quick note to tell you that Open VPN has updated their app so that it is compatible with 64 bit ARM devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini Retina.That does not resolve the problem of how to easily choose among the various possibilities for the exit server. We need to find an easy way to choose.

Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:
*Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] to bring back the old design. Learn more here: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]

ESB and BPEL in different servers

Hi ,
Is there any performance based advantage when we have BPEL and ESB in different servers ?

If you seperate them, it will have impacht on the perfromance. Services are called over the network, assuming BPEL and ESB are on different servers. Otherwise they can call each other via native binding if ESB and BPEL are in the server and container.

App to record name numbers and email very fast.

Hi everybody,
I will be recording a lot of names numbers and email, and i want to know if there is an app that could help me do that very fast, and export it to excel, csv or vcf file. The contact app seems too slow for what i want to do. Thank you in advance .

Hi, thanks for replying. What I mean is an app that allow me to create forms, simple forms that may show like field 1, 2 ,3... then all you have to do is just input and when you get to the end of the row, will start a new row automatically.

Cannot see new SMS in SMS and MMS inbox when SMS and Email Inboxes are separate

Setting mail with Cox (or other services with different servers for pop and smtp)

My Cox mail account uses different servers for pop and smtp (my personal ISP 1&1 does too).
The mail applet on my Blackberry Curve 8330 with Verizon does not allow to define different servers for pop and smtp, and further, for SSL smtp mail, the port is fixed at 995 and cannot be changed, while Cox (and 1&1) want to use 587 or something like that.
As a result, I can only receive mail with these services.
I also have yahoo mail, which works fine, so I can send mail with it and it is not a life-and-death situation, but I would like to be able to just reply to email sent to my Cox address.
I called Verizon and they said BlackBerry provides the mail access through their servers and the applet, so there is nothing they can do.
Is there a way to set it such that I can not only receive but also send mail through either of these services?
Thanks in advance,
Didier
PS: Other than that, the Curve on Verizon rocks!!! so much better down here than AT&T it's not even funny.

OK, thank you for the input.
The problem I have with this solution is like the one I have now using yahoo.
There are 2 problems:
1) mailing lists want the mail to come from the account that is subscribed, so if the cox account is subscribed, I can't contribute from the blackberry, and if the blackberry account is subscribed, I don't get my mail in Outlook. Neither is good for me.
2) people who send me mail to the Cox account and get replies from me from the blackberry continue responding to the account that can send from the blackberry (not Cox), and from that point on I do not have that mail on the computer.
The issue of having two copies is no big deal, I just delete the mail I do not need. I would rather have two than none.
Really, Blackberry should modify the email service so that they directly support mail systems like those of Cox and 1&1. I am sure there are others. They should also allow the use of another port for SSL than 995. I have not seen anyone using 995 for SSL.
Until recently, I had a BB provided by my employer, and we had a BES, and that worked really well. I would like to emulate as much of that functionality as possible without having to pay somebody another $10 or $20 a month just for the priviledge of having an account on a private BES server.
Anyway, thanks for the exchange and suggestions.

BPEL and ESB in different Servers

Hi ,
What is the advantage of having BPEL PM and ESB installed in different servers ?

In my knowledge it has it own merits and demerits
IF (BPEL and ESB) installed in dfferent OC4Js (JVMs)
Merits
1) Individual JVM for each component means more memory allocation and support from JVM
2) More number of processes can be deployed.
DeMerits
1) ESB and BPEL communication can happen via SOAP over HTTP only whereas had these been deployed in the same JVM (oc4j) it can do native communication.

Repository and data on different servers

I look for information about installing HTML DB.
Is it possible to instal HTML DB repository and application data on two different servers? If yes, how.
Thanks,
SL

Yes, but you have to use db links which are a bit slow. Basically, think of HTML DB as working with only the data in the db in which it is installed. You can use the standard Oracle db techniques, such as Materialized Views over db links to get the data local, or again, use just db links. Your app will parse it's PL/SQL and SQL as a SCHEMA in the db in which HTML DB is installed.

How can i set settings so when i delete emails off my mac they go off my phone and iPad, how can i set settings so when i delete emails off my mac they go off my phone and iPad

i want my mac to be the controller of the emails on my iphone 4s and ipad hd---how do i do this?

That is how Time Machine works.
It is not going to keep files you delete from your computer forever.
But you haven't stated how they are stored on the TC.
If you copy files to the TC they can be stored long term.. or use another type of backup software.
See Q3 here about storing data and TM on the TC.

Setting up Business Catalyst Web Hosting & Email

I'm a new CreativeCloud subscriber and want to use Business Catalyst (BC) to host two sites I have presently hosted with Yahoo. Switching a site over to BC can be tricky as I need to point my DNS to BC and figure out how email will work. The help pages for email on the BC help site is vague and only offers an example if you happen to use Google Email App (Gmail). I have previously set up my Yahoo email account using POP3 to receive my domain based emails. It works great and I would like to continue using Yahoo to do this. But the settings for POP 3 are not provided by BC. Can you give me any more information about this? Is it possible to use Yahoo to receive my domain based emails?
The other question I have is about how timing and how to move from Yahoo to BC upon updating the DNS to point to BC; what is the best way to do this to insure that the site isn't down at any time? Should I simply point the DNS to BC and once it's active I can cancel my Yahoo hosting? How can I tell when the DNS has switched?
Do you have any other cusotmer support infrastruture, other than this discussion based tool? Do you provide customer support by phone? I'm concerned about switching over to a new web hosting tool that doens't have good and imediate customer support. I've used discussion baesd tools before and they can take a long time to get an answer and occasionally the problem is never answered.

Hi Jsokko,
What you need to do is log in to admin console on your site and add a domain to it. That is step 4 in this article http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1741. Then you need to either redelegate DNS to us or point the A-records to us. See step 3 in that same article.
If you decide to redelegate the domain name to us you will need to create an MX record that points back to Yahoo. Ask Yahoo support what their MX record is and once you obtain it you need to set it up under Site Settings > Domain Names. You should set everything up at our end first before redelegating to avoid downtime.
Finally, our support team can be reached through Help and Support link in admin.
Cheers,
Mario
