Hello List,

I've solved the problem with the constant long delay on Agent Respond.

The problem was a misconfigured DNS setup. The first DNS in the /etc/resolv.conf wasn't reachable and caused a TCP timeout of app. 10 sec. When an agents clicks on the response by email link then the OTRS seems to check if the sender domain name exists in the DNS. If there is a problem in the DNS setup you will see a delay here.
Fixing the DNS solved the problem for me.

kind regards

Hi All,

Just as a follow-up, I solved my problem.
If you look at my code above, in the Sign and Crypt fields, I have the
Type and Key fields twice in each - in each instance PGP and SMIME are
the 2 possible values that you can set, and it is given like that in the
example on the API documentation.

Not knowing much about this whole lot, I just copied and pasted the
examples as is, and the duplicate definitions were causing an error that
I found by debugging the code...

So look out for those instances when using the API example code! It will
save you a LOT of time :]

Thanks
Patrick

There are two types of users. The agents (people handling the 
tickets) use the OTRS web interface in a web browser. The other users 
are called customers (though they could be your employees for 
instance) and typically interact with the system using email (but 
OTRS can also be used as a system in a phone helpdesk situation for 
instance). I believe Notes supports standard email protocols, so I 
guess that would work.

Yes. You can try a demo at <http://otrs.org/demo/>.

Hi,


I had a well working otrs config so far with the following parts:

- Apache 2.2.3 with mod_perl
- OTRS 2.1.6
- Oracle 10.2.0.1
- Openldap 2.3.35

The authetication worked perfectly from LDAP. Today I decided to build a
new config with otrs 2.2.1.
I backed up my Config.pm and installed a new otrs 2.2.1. Ran the oracle
database scripts as well.
Everything is fine except the authentication (I can log in with
root@localhost).
The result is the same either I use mysql backend.
Thank you in advance.

Regards., Sandor

Hello List,

I got a very strange problem with my OTRS 2.1 installation on RedHat 
Linux.

I had an old OTRS 2.0.x and made a fresh OTRS 2.1.7 installation on a 
different box with a new MySQL 5.0.37. Then I followed the upgrade 
guide to migrate all my data to the new installation. This worked 
very fine and smooth.

But there is one oddity I can't find the cause for.

Everything on the new server is very fast. Almost any page loads 
within a second. But there is one exception. The ticket response page 
(I click the "response with mail" link and the response form opens) 
loads only after about 20 seconds delay.
This delay seems to be almost constantly around 20 seconds and holds 
for responses to every ticket. Regardless wether the ticket is new or 
old, opened ore closed - when I try to send a response then I have to 
wait several seconds.

I turned on the database logging but it looked good to me. I don't 
think this an database issue - but I'm not sure.


This is a snippet from the log file which shows that the Response 
took 20s to process. This is true for every instance of this action. 
All other pages load within 1 or 2 seconds.

Jul  8 11:48:42 TC-FE-OTRS01-91 OTRS-CGI-66[9851]: [Notice]
[Kernel::System::Web::InterfaceAgent::Run] Response::Agent: 20s taken 
(URL:Action=AgentTicketC
ompose&ResponseID=4&TicketID=31822&ArticleID=161995:fzurell)



Does anyone have an idea where to look for this problem?

Thanks and kind regards
