Is SXAA broken in version 11?

[netcomrade]

We rely on sxaa to rotate our on call folks.

On old scalix server:
[root@mt-adm2 ~]# sxaa --user primary@mycompany.com --info 500
Action
------
FORWARD
TO : S=1234570682/OU1=internet/DDT1=RFC-822/DDV1=1234570682@vtext.com/CN=1234570682/INTERNET-ADDR=1234570682@vtext.com


on new server after migration (and why do all the rules start with 600 vs 500 now, btw?):

[root@mt-nfs2 bin]# sxaa --user primary@mycompany.com
OOF FLT OLK AANO ACTION TITLE STATE
--- --- --- ---- ---------- ------------------------------ --------
500 FORWARD SXAA FORWARD:500 enabled
[root@mt-nfs2 ~]# sxaa --user pridba@mycompany.com --remove 500
[root@mt-nfs2 ~]# sxaa --user pridba@mycompany.com --forward 1234563630@vtext.com
[root@mt-nfs2 ~]# sxaa --user pridba@mycompany.com --info 600

Hi!

on new server after migration (and why do all the rules start with 600 vs 500 now

The code of sxaa makes the Auto-Action reference numbers to start from 600, the code
snippet below:

Code: Select all

#
# Find the next available AA_NO
#
def GetNextAANo(aa_file):
        max_aa_no = 600
        for line in aa_file:
                if line[0] == "AA_NO":
                        aa_no = int(line[3])
                        if aa_no >= max_aa_no:
                                max_aa_no = aa_no + 1
        return max_aa_no

What is the result for the command below:

Code: Select all

sxaa --user pridba@mycompany.com

Thanks,
Subir

Can you please post the output from:

head `which sxaa`

Thanks
Kev.

When specifying the user, can you try it specifying their authID rather than email address? Assuming the email isn't the auth?

Thanks
Kev.

If authid is what we log in as, then email is the authid. No-one really logs in as this user though, it's just for forwarding to pagers. The user is a 'standard' user..

Edit: logged into sac, this is the authid under 'advanced' tab

I think this is just a listing problem, the auto-forward rule has been applied.

It seems that with Scalix 11 the data in the auto-forward distribution list can vary slightly which means that the display code for the FORWARD does not always work.

This change will fix it:

replacing the if is_Equinox(): on line 474 with if line[1] == "(DN)".
Works for me now.

That worked thanks.

What do you mean 'does not always work', it seems like you were able to reproduce.

Is there are another tool that can do forwarding?

[Richard Hall]

There is a Scalix Rules Wizard for SWA and Outlook clients (Tools/Rules Wizard) that can be used to set up server-based auto-forward rules.

Depending exactly how the FORWARD rule was set up determined whether sxaa could display it (before the fix).
