Description
Sometimes it is necessary to switch the BES Client's action site masthead. The action site masthead serves the following functions:
A common use for this task is to switch BES Clients and Relays from one BES Server to another. There are two methods of switching the BES Client action site masthead depending on how you would like to provide the new action site masthead. Download the new masthead from a web server - This action will download the file from the url http://127.0.0.1:52311/masthead/masthead.afxm and use it as the new masthead. Please put the file at that location or use a custom action to change the download url. Note: The actions below will remove manual BES Relay settings from the BES Client prior to switching the BES Client masthead. Important Note: Please make sure the new action site masthead is valid and points to a working BES Server. Once the masthead is switched, the BES Client may not be able to report the final status of the action because they may be pointing to a different BES Server. Due to the complexity of this action, please fully test this action before use in a production environment. |
