Step by step guide to configure 10.8 mail server
Looking for a decent guide to walk me through configuring the mail server, testing the configuration, etc. plus the obvious DNS and other configuration necessary to make it work and access it from the outside world.
Any suggestions?
Nobody is an idiot, period. You can ask all you want here
Internet Mail
In order to run your own domestic mail server with an address of [email protected] you first need to register domain.com at a registrar. I use GoDaddy and Name.com, but please look around to find a registrar to fit your needs and budget - it usually is about $10,- a year.
Second you need to set up the DNS at your registrar in the sense that you tell their system to make an A-record for the name server.example.com pointing to the public IP of your modem.
Third you need to set up an MX record with a preference of - say - 10 and the host would be the A-record you've just created. Please follow the instructions of the registrar you choose, the'll have a manual or you can contact their customer support.
Fouth you need the set up port forwarding within your the device that gets the public ip (usually your modem) for ports 25 (TCP), 587 (TCP) to forward the ports to the internal ip address of your server.
You can usually consult the manual of your modem's manufacteren online.
Background information
DNS
Domain Naming System is a way of exchanging a name like apple.com for an ip address like
17.149.160.49. It's like one big conversion table, which you need because computers don't know what to do with domain names except forward the request you put in to a DNS Server that you have to specify somewhere, a popular one is Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) which you are free to use. You don't really *need* a local DNS server.
Private IPs
The ip's of 192.168.*.*, 172.16.*.* and 10.0.*.* are typical Local Area Network addresses.
This is all within your house or building.
Public IPs
Your modem is assigned the public IP address normally, unless you set up your modem in bridge mode, in which case the router would need to handle authentication (PPPoE).

Configure logshipping for report server database
Hi All,
Could some one please let me know the steps to be followed to configure logshipping for report server databases.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards, KranthiHi Kranthi,
Based on my understanding, you want to know how to change the roles between primary server and secondary server when primary server goes down. Also you want to know when you should install reporting service on secondary to make sure reporting service could
be used by application team.
When primary server goes down, you should manually fail over to the secondary server and make it your new primary server. Before changing roles between primary server and secondary server, you should initial role change. For more information, please refer
to this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178117.aspx.
Besides, considering lots of time of reporting service installation and downtime during failover, I recommend you to install reporting service on secondary before configuring log shipping. When application team want to use reporting service with reportserver
database after you performing fail over to the secondary server, you can follow bellow steps to reset the database which will be used by reporting service:
Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager\Database.
Click Change database in the Current Report Server Database section.
On Action page, check Choose an existing report server database box. Click Next.
On Database Server page, type the secondary sever name then connect to it. Click Next.
On Database page, select the reportserver database from the drop-down menu of Report Server Database. Click Next.
Set the credentials, then click Finish on Progress and Finish page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Where to configure the mail server of GRC access control 5.3?
We changes our SMTP server in SAP and we need to configure also the mail server in Virsa but i dont know how. Can someone help me how to change the SMTP server in VIRSA/SAP GRC.
Thank you and have a good day ahead.Hi topnnehj,
In GRC 5.3 the log reports for firefighter access are sent from the back-end system. So, if you´re using the firefighter module, after a mail server change you have to set the parameters in tx. SCOT acordingly. Also you have to change in CUP if you´re using CUP workflow notifications via e-mail.

Smtp configurations for italian email server
it seems I'm experiencing problems in creating email accounts for my hotmail.it, yahoo.it and libero.it providers..
can anyone help with smtp configurations?
thanks
mThe current server is mail.libero.it but you can't just use it to send mail via your email client when you are connected to the internet via an ISP other that libero infostrada. In that case you can always use the web mail interface to send out or reply to emails and that's free.
To use the smtp mail.libero.com you will have to:
1. Connect using libero ISP, which is only going to happen if you live in Italy
2. Buy the mail service (around 30 Euro a year) which will give you a 1GB mailbox and will allow you to send/reply to emails directly from your email client (once you configure the outgoing mail server).
I hope this helps. -
Mail Server Configuration in Planning
Hi,
We have installed all the Hyperion Products and developed a planning application.
Now we want to configure the mail server.
Do we need to run the Configuration Utility for mail server configuration or any other way to configure the mail server?
while running the configuration utility, if we use the existing RDBMS tables instead of dropping or creating new table....our application will retain or will it cause any problem to our exsting application?
Thanks,
Naveen SuramHi,
If you just talking about the email functionality within planning then you can set it up in planning itself.
Log into the application as an admin owner, administration > application settings > enter SMTP server in the Email Server section. save.
File > Preferences > Enter Email-address and Enable E-mail notification.
Cheers
John

Cheers,
SamHi,
Once gone thru all those documents u need to folloe these steps.
U need to configure the SLD and techinical system if it is properly conneted then your work is easy.
Then you have to go and crete the create the JCo Destination systems.
After you can urilize the created JCO in your application.
When you create the create the model you need to give the model names and Jco names and give the r/3 system details and get your function module from the R/3 side before need to make your fnmodule as Remote enabled and give the authrization roles.
Then you can get the Ur fn module into webdynpro.

AfzalLMS 3.0 is a very old version. You can refer to the product documentation here to start. The "Installing and Getting Started Guide" there should be useful.
