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 from one BES Server to another. This task applies only to AIX based computers. Note: This action will download the file from url http://localhost:52311/Uploads/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. |
