Sun Communications Suite 6 U2 Training Workshop coming to USA

JavaWorkshops.com is going to have 9 public classes over the next few months in the USA. I just wanted to pass this along. I was luck enough to attend their Directory Workshop in London and it was amazing. The instructor is a former Netscape professional services wizard and was super sharp and the class was loads of fun - ESPECIALLY since most of it was hands on time learning, setting the servers up and so forth - FROM SCRATCH!!!
I wanted to pass this along as I have seen people ask for Communications Suite 6 Training in the states - THIS IS NOT A FORMAL TRAINING, IT'S A ROLL YOUR SLEEVES UP AND GET DIRTY WITH THE SOFTWARE WORKSHOP, MUCH BETTER THAN STANDARD TRAINING!!!
I met the founder Karim and he is such a cool guy, he even took my feedback about the class / labs and made a lab based around my feedback. WOW, these guys really listen to their customers! My colleague and I are going to the Chicago training and wanted to let others know before the class is sold out. He ONLY allows 8 students per public class so hurry and get signed up.
The web site is http://www.javaworkshops.com. Hope to see you guys at the training workshop in July :-)

I took one of their classes in London and it was an excellent class - very hands on, 2 - 3 hrs of lecture a day, and lots of hardware, lab time!!!. I also saw an email from Jesse T who said he knows the instructor and said he was EXCELLENT. Jesse's response was in the ims-alias this morning I think. Trust me you wont regret it. Also I saw another email saying he is going to have a workshop in Europe, so if you are interested, let them know :-)

Technical Communications Suite Online Training Library

Has anyone used Technical Communications Suite Online Training Library? It's become very apparent that in order for me to be productive quickly using FrameMaker 9 and the rest of the applications in the Technical Communications Suite, I need some formal training and purchase of the online training looks attractive. I couldn't get any specific information as to which versions of the applications in the suite are covered, but I did see where the training library is updated regularly. I'm hoping this means once training of the new versions of the Technical Communications Suite is released (such as FrameMaker 9), I'll have access to them. I called the 1800 ordering phone number, but their response was "we are currently undergoing re-organization, so please call back Wed of next week". Any input will be highly appreciated.

Verison for sun communication suite

Dear Sun,
How can i view the current version for communication suite for my system ? ( communication express, convergence, IM,calendar, Delegated Admin), i had tried showrev, put seem it only provide the patch version.
Thanks.

( communication express, convergence, IM,calendar, Delegated Admin).Each release of Communications Suite (5, 6, 6u1, 6u2, 7) is a set of products at specific versions/patch-levels. You can apply a newer patch to a particular product e.g. Messaging Server and be at the same equivalent level as the newer Communications Suite release.
The patch version is therefore important to determine the level of each point-product e.g.
Calendar 6.3: showrev -p | grep ics5
Communications Express: showrev -p | grep uwc
Instant Messaging Server: showrev -p | grep SUNWiim
Some products have their own version command e.g.
Messaging Server: ./imsimta version
Convergence: ./iwcadmin -V
Delegated Administrator: ./commadmin -V

SSL SSO Communications Suite 2005Q4 setup

I posted this a few days agao on google groups and have not gotten any responses. Can anyone tell me if its possible to do SSl SSO on Communications Suite. I just want my users to access Communications Express [uwc] with mail and calendar using SSL.
I have Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built July 15 2005)
Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know how to setup step-by-step SSL and SSO on SUN's
Communications Suite? I am using [or rather testing] The following
products: Calendar Server 6, Messaging Server 6, Communications Express
6, Web Server 6.1 and Access Manager 7. All on just one machine.
I have managed to get Single Sign-On working fine with Comm Express but
I can not seem to manage to get it working with SSL. I mainly want to
run https via Comm Express to access messenger and calendar. This works
great on http.
I have also read [and read] SUN's documentation about setting up SSO
with SSL but that is a bit confusing [to say the least]. I found in the
Comm Express Admin Guide:
Messaging SSO is not supported in SSL.
Work around
To support Messaging SSO with SSL perform the following steps:
How to enable Messaging SSO with SSL
1. Configure Web Server in SSL mode.
2. Configure Communications Express for SSL port of Web Server.
3. Set uwcauth.ssl.enabled=true.
4. Set uwcauth.https.port to SSL port of Web Server.
5. Enable Messaging Server in SSL mode.
6. Set the webmail.port in uwcconfig.properties to SSL port of
Messaging Server.
7. Provide messagingsso.ims.url to Non SSL port of Messaging Server
8. Install the Certificate Management Server root Certificate Authority
(CMS root CA) on both Web Server and Messaging Server.
9. Restart Web Server.
10. Provide a value to local.webmail.sso.ims.verifyurl pointing to Non
SSL port of Messaging Server.
11. Restart Messaging Server.
The problem here is what is meant by "CMS root CA" ?? of course when
searched on Google I get the Communications Express Admin Guide lol :^)
Anyways I got a Thawte Cert for the web server, this seems to work fine
and the "uwc" login page works fine too. Now what do I do to get
messenger to work? Get another Cert?? It says "install CMS root CA on
both Web Server and Messenger" how??? maybe I need to create self
signed certificates??
I need to have calendar working too, there is a SSL setup for calendar
but will it run with SSO uwc??
I also run into the problem in the Admin Guides of using "iplanet
console" to manage certs and some other features, what is this? of
course I can't find it or SUN has changed its name [but still suggests
to use it].
Well I am a bit frustrated, maybe something I am missing or not read
correctly [my apologies]. I do not think this to be uncommon to want an
integrated mail and calendar application running SSO and SSL. So if
anybody knows an easy step-by-step setup or a link to such a thing
please let me know. I am not new to Unix nor Solaris but definitely
know little about Communications Suite [or maybe SUN has changed that
name too :^(
Thanks in Advance

Thanks Jay but I think we are now digressing. I am
sorry if it sounds like I am complaining, I just want
to figure out to how to make this work. Someone must
know how to set this up step-by-step. I think I
understand the difference between SSO and SSL and
that they are not interchangeable, I want both to
work.
If I was to use only ME then I don't need SSO, I
would just use it with SSL, which I still have not
figured out how to do, because I do not know where to
find iPlanet Console???Iplanet Console may be found in your Directory SErver install. command, "startconsole:
You do not need to use Console for anything.
You can use "certutil" to manipulate certificates, should you prefer to do that.
You can use "configutil" to change config settings.
do you know where it should
be, is there a default path? Does it install with ME?It's really the Directory Server console. You have it.
Can I download it?
I also understand that the benefit of SSO is not to
have to sign on several times and that in my case we
are talking about 3 different pieces of software, CE,
ME and Calendar [plus Access Manager].
I am running my system with SSO on CE, ME and
Calendar and it works great. I wish to offer this
setup so my users can access both mail and calendar
via one web interface, just like hotmail, yahoo etc.
I also want remote users to access the same web
b interface via SSL [their passwds will have some
level of security]. As usual, you need to take these one step at a time. First, get your SSL working. Then get CE working. Then follow the documentation to get SSO working. It does work. Many others have been successful getting it all to work.
The reason I asked about possibly another SUN product
is because I have setup other products like IMP and
Zimbra via SSL and they work in this fashion.
I am fairly sure this is possible with these SUN
products but I am still trying to figure out how to
do it.
This is why I am asking if anybody has any experience
setting up this combination of products in this
fashion, please let me know or guide me in the right
direction.
Thanks in advance

Some general questions about Sun Java Communications Suite

Hello Everybody,
We are a small group of individuals (2 Java developers and 1 Linux expert and Web Application developer), located in Germany.
We are fully new to �Solaris� and Sun Java Communications Suite and know, that it�s a highly professional software system for large scale deployment. However we plan to install (64 Bit version) and manage it in a small network environment, consisting of a Server (4 GB RAM, RAID 5, AMD Dual CPU) based on Solaris 10 (X86) and *20* clients based on Win XP, Solaris and Linux.
It�s a network of a non-profit organization, providing social services to local society.
At clients we will use the Communications Express and the needed services are: Calander, Mail and Address book. (no need of Outlook Connector, Instant Messaging, Document Management, etc.)
Our long-term aim is - after learning of professional architecting, deployment and management of Communications Suite - to provide integration and development services to organizations (schools and small / medium sized Business) and public in cooperation with ISP or infrastructure-providers like Sun Microsystems.
Now, our main questions are:
*1.-* Is the Server phy. recourse enough to deliver the mentioned services of Communication Suite to 20 clients without problems?
*2.-* Isn�t Communications Suite oversized for such small network mentioned above or better, if we use another collaboration software system like Opengroupeware (http://opengroupware.org/) ? Opengroupeware is developed using non-java lang and therefore doesn�t match our strategy.
*3.-* Does the Communications Suite download-pack includes all necessary components of Sun Java ES (Directory Server, Access Manager, etc.) or these components are to be downloaded separately?
*4.-* What is the difference between the Sun Java System Messaging Server and the Sun Java System Message Queue?
We appropriate very much your answers and any further useful information regarding our project.
Thanks
Asghar

1> I believe your hardware can support 20 users (you might need to tune the Web Server heap size) - I had a Sparc 2x450mhz w/ 2GB of ram supporting 50+ users quite comfortably - with roughly half using POP and the other half IMAP/webmail. Ideally though, for best performance you would want to break up the main servers (LDAP, WEB, and MS) between hosts) - probably not necessary for 20 users. Having all on one machine simplifies things too (but also makes it a single-point-of-failure). Your disk obviously is important, the faster the better - that it's redundant is also nice - larger deployments might use much fancier storage systems to provide speed and redundancy, and use an the App Server instead of the Web Server as a container for Comms Express.
2> I don't think it's "oversized" - might you mean overkill? In this case I don't think overkill is a bad thing. Why not have very capable software, even if you don't really need it -is how I see things.
3> I believe you get all you need in the download. Though I've never tried the 64bit version (which I am guessing is only really necessary for larger deployments where you want to obtain maximized performance for heavier loads). I recommend following the single host evaluation document to get the hang of the install.
4> I'm not sure - though the Messaging install I believe requires the MQueue stuff, I think it's sort of an API for messaging, also available separately, but used by JES Messaging system?
Good Luck,
s7

Sun Java Communications Suite questions

Hi all! This is my first post to these boards so please excuse any board fobars.
Anyway, I have been charge with replacing our existing mail system based on POSTFIX, IMAP and SMTP with a better solution and have come to Sun Java Communications Suite as an option.
I notice the software can be downloaded for free, but there isn't any obvious mention of end-user costs. Are there any?
Second, what is the best way to back up the system each night and weekend. I have tried doing a search in Yahoo! and Google but haven't really come up with an answer. Can I back up individial mailboxes and objects with them or must I backup only the system as a whole?
Thanks for any help!
Mark

Yes it has shared folders and you can set up email lists. For instance I have our hylafax fax server just convert the incoming fax and put it in a public company folder that everyone has read access to. Also I have a mailing list that when you send to the address it goes to all employees and you can add the ability for an outside email address like [email protected] rights to send mail to it. The graphical interface works well but you'll want to make your own service packages which isn't hard to do. I really like using commadmin to create my users over the delegated admin but that’s just me.
Oh yea I also have a public mail folder I use for corp documents. I just email the docs into that folder.
Calendar server is great. The outlook connector works great.
Plus if you’re going to run it on Solaris 10 you get all the great functionality of that operating system for instance I have my whole mail server running on a solaris zone which resides on a zfs filesystem.
Which makes it extremely easy to back up or clone and run experiments or updates something goes wrong just rollback. ZFS is truly the best file system out. Solaris is so awesome it was able to keep running even when one of my cheap xeon processors was running in a degraded state. Solaris Fault manager is a god send and they don’t even market it really. fmadm faulty has saved my butt many times.
Solaris 10 + commsuite = Little downtime and tons of power.

Performance in Sun Java Communication Suite 5 between Solaris 9 and 10

Somebody knows which is the best Operation System to deploy the Sun Java Communication Suite? in performance terms?
I have and old Sun Fire 280R with two 750 Mhz Processors, 3 GB Ram, and an A1000 Storage.
Thanks a lot,
Andres.

I have and old Sun Fire 280R with two 750 Mhz Processors, 3 GB Ram, and an A1000 Storage.I'm not sure how many users you are planning to provide access to but your RAM is going to be the bottleneck.

Sun Java Communication Suite 5 using example deployment not working

I download the sun java communication suite 5 for solaris sparc.
I have a sunfire 280r server with Solaris 9 9/05 HW s9s_u9wos_06b SPARC installed.
I follow the document 820-0086.pdf to try the product (deployment example), i succesfully installed the product using acasalud.com.ar as the domain.
The problem arises when i begin to verify the installation(page 16), i sucessfully start the web services but when i put:
http://fully-qualified-hostname:web-server-port/amconsole
Nothing happens, the amconsole url doesn't exists.
Somebody knows how to solve this?

I found this in the logs:

Sun Communications Services Resource

Can anyone tell me what version of the Comm Suite does Sun Communications Services 1.1 in Sun Java System Identity Manager 7.1 support?

I took one of their classes in London and it was an excellent class - very hands on, 2 - 3 hrs of lecture a day, and lots of hardware, lab time!!!. I also saw an email from Jesse T who said he knows the instructor and said he was EXCELLENT. Jesse's response was in the ims-alias this morning I think. Trust me you wont regret it. Also I saw another email saying he is going to have a workshop in Europe, so if you are interested, let them know :-)

Help/advice needed on installing Communications Suite!

Hi,
I'm still a new boy with Solaris so this is going to be more of a training excersize then anything else.
Basically I have a Sun E420r server in a home rack along with some Netra T105's to train me up with Solaris. I would like to install the Java Communication Suite on the E420r, however I haven't been able to find any install guides for it on the sun.docs website.
Ok being too hasty with no experiance I downloaded the Enterprise System first and tried installing all components at once (bad idea!) which didn't go in well at all as many of them failed. I have now decided to switch to the Communications Suite standalone installer but I'm still having problems with some components already installed from the Enterprise Suite installer and also I'm not sure how to even get the services up and running.
Sorry if I sound like a total beginner, I have manged to get many things up and running with Solaris 9 and 10 so far but could not find any guides for this at all. I did find this page:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1312.2
which is ok for when you have the system setup but what do I do to get it to that stage??
The server also runs the Secure Global Desktop Software coupled with the Sun Ray Server Software of which a Ray client is running off the system. But I really wanted to experiment with the Communications suite too as currently I have Scalix (MS Exchange equivelent) running on a CentOS Linux based system which was relatively straight forward to setup using CLI or GUI it's pretty simple - with documentation of course :-)
If anyone can just give me a hint or point me in the right direction I'd be really greatful!!
Many thanks

Many thanks again Shane!

http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Calendar+Server+7+Information
Seems like you work at Sun :-D
This kinda goes out to everyone that works there but just keep doing what you guys do best and creating amazing software and hardware. I really hope the Oracle takeover won't disrupt that at all as I am totally taken by Solaris I think it's awsome!!!
-Too bad that I got into so late though as I've been using Linux since around 2004-2005 and Solaris for only round say 3-4 months now which means in comparison my experience is really limited. However on the plus side things are shaping up very well as I seem to be nearly in a job which means that I will make lots of use of Solaris OS and depending on what the company wants I may be involved with setting Solaris boxes up too which would be amazing as it would give me a whole lot of opportunity to learn much more then what I can with 4, 10 years old servers as part of my home lab. Although the position is no way guaranteed but things are looking really positive.
All I can say is that I can't wait to use Solaris in a professional environment but also can't wait to get funding for newer more powerful machines for my lab so I can actually make use of a lot more Sun software like clustering and Java Web server and all the cool freebies which can be downloaded!

Strong DITA integration into FM Technical Communication Suite

My motivation to vote for a strong DITA integration is that I can imagine the FM Technical Communication Suite as an very appropriate tool to support the DITA Learning and Training Content Specialization in a smart way.
That's important as on April 1, 2008 the DITA Technical Committee has approved Design Proposal 12058 for inclusion of the DITA specialization for learning and training content in the formal design plan for DITA 1.2.
My long-term vision for the FM Technical Communication Suite is, for example,
* write your quiz is FM and use it in Adobe Captivate
My short-term vision the for the FM Technical Communication Suite is
* improve the usability of the DITA plugin for technical writers
Looking forward to a user-to-user discussion about which smart DITA integration into the FM Technical Communication Suite.

b Smart Language Identification
GOAL
FM DITA plugin uses the xml attribute for language identification
to set
Proposal
The language identification attribute is
xml:lang
see
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#sec-lang-tag
A scretch of an implementation:
Change the entry for the attribute xml:lang in the related EDDs from
Name: xml:lang String Optional
to
Name: xml:lang Choice Optional
Choices: en-US | de-DE
Default: en-US
Note: en-US means language(englisch)-country(USA)
A smart integration would
* language-country codes for all combinations supported by FM
* May be the drop-down list of
ParagraphFormatting/PropertiesFont/Language
can view the lanuage-country codes, too
* TextFormatRules similar to this one are necessary
If
Specification Concept[xml:lang="de-DE"]
ParagraphFormatting
PropertiesFont
Language
Deutsch
Well, my current workaround is I add a version of the above TextFormatRule to all elements which are specificied in the 'info-types' variable of the topic.edd
Any smarter workarounds known?

[08/Jan/2009:17:44:19 +0200] (Error) dispatcher failed twice in 600 seconds, will not perform restart
watcher process 1322 started at Thu Jan 8 17:56:33 2009The dispatcher.log* and tcp_smtp_server.log* are always empty.
The mail.log_current has this at the hanging moment:
08-Jan-2009 17:44:19.84 tcp_local    +            O [unknown] SMTP
08-Jan-2009 17:44:19.84 tcp_local    +            X [unknown] SMTP Error writing SMTP packetThe problem repeats from time to time and I have to restart the mail server manually.
There are no core dumps in the system and system logs are OK.
There are latest patches installed and the system is very stable itself except SMTP part of CommSuite.
The auto restart is enabled out of the box.
configutil -o local.autorestart
yesThe server is almost idle. It serves 10 people and there are just few mails going via it.
Obviously there is something wrong with my configuration or it's a bug.
Could someone help me to understand the reason of such instability?

Hello Shane,
I appreciate you help.
The dispatcher process crashes by itself, nobody kills it manually :)
The coreadm has been enabled from the installation date and there is just one old core dump for some java process.
coreadm
     global core file pattern: /var/core/core.%f
     global core file content: default
       init core file pattern: core
       init core file content: default
            global core dumps: enabled
       per-process core dumps: disabled
      global setid core dumps: disabled
      per-process setid core dumps: disabled
     global core dump logging: disabled
ls -la /var/core
total 126918

-rw-------   1 root     root     75235729 Jan 4 12:34 core.javaNow I changed coreadm to this:
coreadm
     global core file pattern: /var/core/core.%f
     global core file content: default
       init core file pattern: core
       init core file content: default
            global core dumps: enabled
       per-process core dumps: disabled
      global setid core dumps: enabled
per-process setid core dumps: disabled
     global core dump logging: enabledOK. Next time I will use "imsimta restart" but this does not solve the problem.
I used /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/bin/stop-msg, /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/bin/start-msg commands to do this.
The problem I have is SMTP service stops to work and I cannot receive any emails until I do a restart .
Can I turn on some additional logging either for dispatcher or for SMTP process?
Any ideas how to make it work stable?
Best Regards,
Victor
