Where to store configuration about the outside world?

I have an abap report that write files to a network share. I would like to store the information in a way that it won't get transferred to the QA system during system copy. How do you keep this kind of configuration outside of the database? Is there a standard way?
Thanks.

Hi Igal,
I think you create param table in DEV system, then you just shouldn't import it to QUA. Configuration copy should not apply here as well as it is still part of development.
If this doesn't work you can hardcode system check inside a report. There are system vairables like sy-syst or similar (can't remeber excat sy- names now) which stores name of the system, type, and client. I think by checking them inside a program you can ommit place where you call your production path on QUA system side.

Best Practice on Not Exposing your internal FQDN to the outside world

Exchange server 2010, sits in DMZ, internet facing. The server is currently using the Default Receive Connector. This exposes the internal fqdn to the outside world (ehlo). Since you should not (can't) change the FQDN on your Default Receive connector, what
is the best practice here?
The only solution I can see is the following:
1. Change the Network on the Default Receive Connector to only internal IP addresses.
2. Create a new Internet Receive Connector port 25 for external IP addresses (not sure what to put in Network tab?) and use my external FQDN for ehlo responses (e.g. mail.domain.com)
3. What do I pick for Auth and Permissions, TLS and Annoymous only?
Michael Maxwell

Yes, it fails PCI testing/compliance. I shouldn't be able to see my internal server and domain. I understand that is the recommendation, but my client doesn't want to host in the cloud or go with a Trend IHMS (trust me I like that better, but its
not my choice). I have to work with the deck of cards dealt to me. Thanks, just want a solution with what I have now.
Michael Maxwell
Understand. I wont go into the value of those tests :)
If the customer is really concerned about exposing the internal name, then create a new receive connector with a different FQDN ( and corresponding cert) for anonymous connections as you mention above. Know that it also means internal clients
can connect to the server on port 25 as well if you dont have the ability to scope to set of ip addresses ( i.e. a SMTP gateway).
The internal names of the servers will also be in the internet headers of messages sent out:

How to expose a web service to the outside world?

Hello,
i have created a Web service from a Session bean and successfully published it on one of my UDDI registries using the Admin tool.
At this point, what do I need to do further in order to expose this Web service not just in our LAN but to the outside world?
Roy

Offcourse it should be published at UDDI.
Four play key roles in Web services: Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI), Web Services Description Language (WSDL), Web Services Inspection Language (WSIL), SOAP, and Web Services Interoperability (WS-I).
The UDDI specification defines open, platform-independent standards that enable businesses to share information in a global business registry, discover services on the registry, and define how they interact over the Internet.

Make VM accessible to the outside world (iptables question)

I have a VM running on one of our internal servers on top of Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x with VMware Server 3.x
Inside the VM runs a Oracle Database and a WebLogic Server, and I need to access the Weblogic administrative interface and the applications running on it from another computer part of Oracle Internal Network.
If I start the VM with its network interface in "bridged" mode, then the VM doesn't get any IP by DHCP. If I try to manually assign an IP to it, the network doesn't work, most probably because of some security rules enforced by the local SA.
If I start the VM with its network interface in NAT mode, then the internal applications fail to start with network sockets errors.
The only way to start the VM and the applications running inside it without errors is the "host network only" mode, but then the applications are not available from any other machine than the one on top this VM runs.
So I guess that the easiest way to solve this problem would be to create some IPTABLES rules so that all http/https/ssl traffic passing through the physical machine network interface on certain ports to be forwarded to the VM host-only network interface.
I do not have enough knowledge of IPTABLES rules and I know this is quite a huge subject, so starting to learn it now will take some days which I can not afford right now...
Is someone with more knowledge on the subject able to help me here?
Thanks and Regards
Serban

Can you get in touch with your local SA to see if there are any policy or network security restrictions that apply? DHCP is not a good solution for your situation anyway, and I would not bother to setup firewall with dynamic port forwarding and proxying to bypass networking restrictions. I think, the most, if not the only feasible option, to make your VM talk to the outside world, is to setup your VM in bridged network mode, so that the VM interface can broadcast at the same level as your host interface. Besides, your current external network security may prevent routing any IP address other than the one of your host computer, in which case you will be able to access your VM only from within your host computer, regardless.
If you cannot work out a static IP address or direct access to your VM from outside, perhaps simple port forwarding may work in your case, which will automatically forward all traffic to a certain port on your host computer to the network of your VM, but then you won't be able to choose.

Apple send the iphone from Singapore, but i'm purchasing from malaysia apple online store, how about the warranty?

I receive the parcel that apple sent today, but i found that Apple send the iphone from Singapore, but i'm purchasing from malaysia apple online store, How about the warranty? is that warranty available in malaysia?? or singapore ?

Singapore is the AFE distribution centre for Apple , in the same way all online purchases from Apple in Europe ship from Ireland the European Distribution centre
As Templeton has indicated the location you buy from is the only relevant information for warranty

Security: Portlets visible to the outside world?

When I deploy portlets to a oc4j instance managed by the applicationserver it seems that the url of the webapplication is automatically visible through the ora http server. Since my webapplications only contain portlets that should be accessed by the portal, how do I prevent the outside world from sending request directly to the webapplication?

You have used some very general terms in your question but I will attempt to reply with some caveats.
Generally speaking most remote access VPNs use private addresses which are translated using NAT when traffic leaves the protected (internal) network en route to a public server, such as a web server on the Internet. You address appears to the remote server as one of the addresses from the NAT pool (or sometimes outside interface) of the VPN concentrator or firewall that is performing that function.
You can always check your address as it appears to the outside by browsing to something like http://whatismyip.com

Where we can know about the stuck threads without taking thread dump.

Hi Everyone,
Where we can View/know about the stuck threads without taking thread dump.
Thank You

Hi!
WebLogic Server diagnoses a thread as stuck if it is continually working (not idle) for a set period of time. You can tune stuck threads in the Weblogic Server.
You can tune a server’s thread detection behavior by changing the length of time before a thread is diagnosed as stuck, and by changing the frequency with which the server checks for stuck threads.
It can be configured using below mentioned 2 parameters. These can be configured from Admin console -> Servers ->Configuration > Tuning tab.
1)Stuck Thread Max Time
2)Stuck Thread Timer Interval
Although you can change the criteria WebLogic Server uses to determine whether a thread is stuck, you cannot change the default behavior of setting the “warning” and “critical” health states when all threads in a particular execute queue become stuck.
There is a parameter "Stuck Thread Count" which can be configured from Console
(Servers -> Configuration ->Overload -> Stuck Thread count) which helps to transition the Server to FAILED state once the stuck threads reaches the value.
You can also use "OverloadProtectionMBean" for tuning. In Weblogic Server 9.x and later, it is recommended that you use the "ServerFailureTriggerMBean" in the "OverloadProtectionMBean".The ServerFailureTriggerMBean transitions the server to a FAILED state after the specified number of stuck threads are detected.The OverloadProtectionMBean has options to suspend or shutdown a failed server.
WebLogic Server checks for stuck threads periodically. If all application threads are stuck, a server instance marks itself failed, if configured to do so, exits. You can configure Node Manager or a third-party high-availability solution to restart the server instance for automatic failure recovery.
You can configure these actions to occur when not all threads are stuck, but the number of stuck threads have exceeded a configured threshold:
- Shut down the Work Manager if it has stuck threads. A Work Manager that is shut down will refuse new work and reject existing work in the queue by sending a rejection message. In a cluster, clustered clients will fail over to another cluster member.
- Shut down the application if there are stuck threads in the application. The application is shutdown by bringing it into ADMIN mode. All Work Managers belonging to the application are shut down, and behave as described above.
- Mark the server instance as failed and shut it down it down if there are stuck threads in the server. In a cluster, clustered clients that are connected or attempting to connect will fail over to another cluster member.
You can configure the "ServerFailureTriggerMBean" in the "OverloadProtectionMBean".
Below is documentation link for "ServerFailureTriggerMBean" methods.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/apirefs.1111/e13945/weblogic/management/configuration/ServerFailureTriggerMBean.html
You can use getStuckThreadCount() method to check the number of stuck threads and transition the server to Failed State once itreaches the limit.
getStuckThreadCount:
int getStuckThreadCount() - The number of stuck threads after which the server is transitioned into FAILED state. There are options inOverloadProtectionMBean to suspend and shutdown a FAILED server. By default, the server continues to run in FAILED state. If the StuckThreadCount value is set to zero then the server never transitions into FAILED server irrespective of the number of stuck threads.
Returns:
The StuckThreadCount value
Default Value:
0
Maximum Value:
java.lang.Integer.MAX_VALUE
Minimum Value:
0
Below is documentation link for "OverloadProtectionMBean" methods.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/javadocs_mhome/weblogic/management/configuration/OverloadProtectionMBean.html
In the Admin console, you can set the "FailureAction" under Servers->Configuration->Overload to force shutdown the managed server once the server is in Failed state.
The OverloadProtectionMBean has a method getFailureAction to achieve the same.
getFailureAction:
String getFailureAction() - Enable automatic forceshutdown of the server on failed state. The server self-health monitoring detects fatal failures and mark the server as failed. The server can be restarted using NodeManager or a HA agent.
Valid Values:
OverloadProtectionMBean.NO_ACTION, OverloadProtectionMBean.FORCE_SHUTDOWN, OverloadProtectionMBean.ADMIN_STATE
If you start the managed servers using node manager, you can enable "Auto Kill if Failed" and "Auto Restart" in the Admin console, under Servers-> configuration->Health Monitoring. Node Manager will take care of restarting the managed server if you enable "Auto Restart".
You can also configure the "Stuck Thread Count" and "Failure Action" to "Force Immediate shutdown of the Server" from Admin console under servers-> configuration-> Overload. This will help you to shutdown the server when the stuck thread count is reached. But there is no way to release the threads once they are stuck from the configuration.
Suppose if you set the value of the Stuck Thread Count to 20, The server will be transitioned to failed state once the count reaches 20 and if you enable the Failure Action, the server self-health monitoring detects fatal failures and mark the server as failed.
Depending on how you are starting the servers (custom scripts or Node Manager or startup scripts,...), you can restart the servers.
For more details on this please refer to below link:

Hope this helps.

Relay settings to get mail from the outside world

Hello. First, let me say - I'm a mail newbie, so be gentle.
I've just recently set up my mail server, and I am having an issue where I can receive mail from some people and not from others. Those who cannot send me mail get an error about the relay not accepting it. In server admin, I have checked accept SMTP relays only from these hosts and networks, and I have put in 127.0.0.1/32 and my server's ip/32 (at the advice of apple tech support when I was configuring mail). Is something missing here that would allow me to receive mail from anyone? Thanks in advance for any help.

Here you go. Thank you.

Relay Mail from FAX Machine to the Outside World via GMAIL

Hey everyone, I am not really sure I am in the right place here, but I am tired of running into a brick wall over this issue.
Here is my basic issue:
I have a fax machine that supports a functionality known as Fax to email. The machine is new, but Ricoh (5510nf) does not seem to be up on things when it comes to configuration.
The machine does not support SSL authentication, and for that matter I believe it requires an open relay to work (that is what Ricoh told me).
So what I need is for the fax machine to use the OS X mail services (or any service/program...) to send a scanned image along the net to the recipient's address. So I log into the fax machine via it's internal address, and the settings of the fax machine include the following:
SMTP Server:
POP Server:
Host Name:
E-Mail Address:
Domain Name:
Account Name:
Password:
Reception Interval(min.)
At first I thought this was going to be a no brainer, but it turns out that I am the no brainer.
The OS X Server is not really setup to do anything but serve files right now. It is not setup with DNS or other such services.

According to the available parameters you posted, the Fax machine supports authentication. This should be good enough to send through a mail server. It certainly does not require an open relay to send.
However, given that gmail requires SSL, you are indeed stuck. That said, I am not sure setting up your own mail server just for this makes lots of sense. Running a mail server has implications. You need to secure it to make sure it is not abused and it also requires a certain amount of maintenance.
I would rather try and use your ISP's SMTP server. Most likely they allow for sending without SSL and with authentication. Should this not be an option (unlikely), report back and I can try and help you to get your mail server up and running.
HTH,
Alex

Can someone tell me where to get information about the search function in Swift

I need to put a search function into an app I am building and I have no idea where to look for information as to code, where to put the code and the text that it is going to search ( a book's worth) where do I put that file. Any help would be great. Thank you in advance.

Dipak,
Two things to try:
1. Check the Oracle8i EJB and CORBA Developer's Guide. It is available online from OTN in the documentation area.
2. Posting your note to the Oracle8i JVM technical discussion forum.
