18.1.6 Settings for Email Sent via the Application Process

In order to send email via the application process, the information about the mail server and the mail sender information must be registered in admin Server.

Note

The manager must be running if performing mail settings during the application process. Start the manager if it is not running already.
Refer to "2.1 Starting and Stopping Managers" in the "Operation Guide CE" for information on how to start this product.

Registering the mail server and sender

Login as the system administrator, and register the mail server and the mail sender information to admin server using the procedure shown below.

  1. If SMTP server authentication will be used when the mail is sent, then encrypt the password. This procedure is not necessary if SMTP server authentication will not be used when the mail is sent.

    [Windows Manager]

    > <installation_folder>\IBPM\client\samples\configuration\EncryptPassword.bat -e "password"
    -------ENCRYPTED PASSWORD-------
    encrypted password

    [Linux Manager]

    # /opt/FJSVibpm/client/samples/configuration/EncryptPassword.sh -e "password"
    -------ENCRYPTED PASSWORD-------
    encrypted password
  2. Prepare the mail server and mail sender definition files (they can be created in any location).

    1. SMTP server settings file (smtpserver.conf)

      Set the following items:
