Block email notifications

Hi All,
When we do a copy of production into QA system the email notifications are being sent to the users. Is there any way we can block this email notifications. This emails are being sent from Workflow and function modules.
Thanks.

Hi,
Either you block the mails sending thru SCOT or delete the witems that got copied from PRD system. Blocking SCOT will only stop Sending mails, But not Generating mails. We had the same issue and to eliminate these e-mail generations from the work items, we made the deletion of unwanted witems in the target system using SWWL, as part of system build activities. And then only activating SCOT.
Hope this helps

Invoice Blocked Email Notification

Hi experts,
I'm having a problem where i could set email for a certain transaction. Like my case, My invoice have been blocked and it had sent a mail to the requisitioner and a certain email add for a specific company code(group mail). I want to change the email add(group mail) indicated on the specific company code. I don't know if its a standard setup but probably we can change it right?
To:___________________(This not a problem, it can be set in creation of PO)
cc:___________________(This is the problem, I want to change the group email add indicated here)
Is there any transaction code available for me to change this?
Please help experts!
Thanks!
Best Regards,
docgon

Thanks. I know that can be done via appending the structure. Guess I just want to confirm that 'functionally' it is not a problem, i.e. not affecting how the standard function works.
Cheers!

Silent Spam Filtering - No NDR to Sender / No Notification to Recipient / No Option to Release Blocked Emails / No Support Document to request for Whitelisting of Sender

Silent Spam Filtering used by iCloud is currently affecting us and our Customers. Our Customer, when sending us emails from their business domain (no presence on Global Spam Blacklists), is not able to reach us on our iCloud account and there is absolutely no sign of the email within the Inbox / Junk Folder and surprisingly no NDR to the Sender
Symantec MessageLabs used for Outbound Mail Frittering by our customer confirms the emails to be delivered to MAC Servers, but not being forwarded to us or other end users using *@icloud.com account
Delivery Report Extract:
2014-10-15 03:56:39 PM SMTP Status: OK
2014-10-15 03:56:44 PM Delivery attempt #1 (final)
2014-10-15 03:56:44 PM Recipient server: 17.158.8.68 (mx1.mail.icloud.com)
2014-10-15 03:56:44 PM Response: 250 2.5.0 Ok, envelope id [email protected]
There should be a convenient way to request Apple Support Team, for addition of the Sender to an approved list or there should definitely be a Notification to the recipient of a Blocked Email address, which should help them to identify and release such emails, at will into their Inbox and not land up losing critical Customer Communications
Cloud based Spam Filtering Solution Providers(Symantec, Microsoft and others to name a few) allows such options, as an email is now a Business Essential Document and should be securely delivered to recipients

This issue has become increasing prevalent over the last year and a half and has been covered by a number of reputable websites doing their own testing:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2029570/silent-email-filtering-makes-icloud-an-u nreliable-option.html
http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/mac/apple-censoring-icloud-emails-attachments-343 2561/
http://www.mcelhearn.com/apples-silent-email-filtering-is-just-plain-wrong/
No bounces are sent - messages are being accepted by Apple's mail servers and then filtered before they reach users inboxes. This is a pretty big deal.

Email Notification When Specific In/Outbound Queue Is Blocked

We are running an integrated environment of ECC and SRM with qRFCs to transfer data, such as a Purchase Requisition, from ECC to SRM system (no XI / PI in the landscape). Sometimes the entries in the queue would be stuck and block the queue from being further processed. We would like to have email notification sent out to responsible persons when that happens. In particular, we would like email notification to be sent out when BBP_EXTREQ_TRANS entry is blocking the queue.
I have read the following blog and think it is a promising general approach.
/people/aravindh.prasanna/blog/2006/02/20/configuring-scenario-specific-e-mail-alerts-in-xi-ccms-part-3
I have however two questions regarding the approach:
1) The blog has the presumption that XI is involved. XI/PI is not part of our landscape.
2) Can we customize the alerting mechanism further by specifying the queue name for alert to be sent out?
Thanks.

Hi Ashish,
Hope you are familiar with WLST please grab ideas from the following beautiful site, which delivers you a lot.

3.http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=5582
4. http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=7042
First of all why do you allow your servers getting down? If it is often then you need to raise an SR with Oracle. If not tune the parameters according to your environment.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 not sending out email notification

I have a server where i installed SP Foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2012. I have configured the SMTP as well as the outgoing SMTP in Central Administration
of SharePoint. When i create an alert on a document library, its did not sent any email notification on the changes made to the document in the document library. So, i created a workflow to send out email using SPD2013. The workflow run, but it cannot sent
out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly
2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
In order to do that follow these steps:
Open cmd
telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)
you should see a response like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or
the smtp server is not responding.
For testing response from your server
For testing response say ehlo to it.
Type :
ehlo <servername>
output:
250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server.
Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
Type :
mail from: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
It's time to enter the recepient email address.
Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.5 [email protected]
Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
Type : data
output:
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Type:
subject: this is a test mail
Hi
This is test mail body
I am testing SMTP server.
Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
output:
250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
Type: quit
output:
221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
3) Check alerts are enabled for your web application
verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
Run this stsadm command to check that
Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
4) Check the Timer job and Properties
Go to
MOSS 2007: Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions
Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
job-immediate-alerts
job-daily-alerts
job-weekly-alerts
stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
The expected output is:
<Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.
If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
5) Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for all.
6) Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
permission.
7) If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
8) Most importantly , you should try this one.
Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
In order to get rid of that lock
Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
You will surely get the email alert.
I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
9) Try re-registering the alert template:
stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
10) Try to clear the configuration cache
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Sending Email notification on creation of account

Hi,
Our requirement is to send an email notification when a user account gets created. I have tried the following in User Form of proxy admin
<Field name='viewOptions.Process'>
<Expansion>
    <block trace='true'>
      <switch>
        <ref>feedOp</ref>
        <case>
          <s>create</s>
          <s>Send Mail</s>
        </case>
      </switch>
    </block>
</Expansion>
</Field>but it doesn't send any notification. While in Tomcat it shows the value as below where Send Mail is the name of workflow .
<switch>
<ref>feedOp</ref>Resolved feedOp to create
--> create
<case>
    <s>create</s> --> create
    <s>Send Mail</s> --> Send Mail
</case> --> Send Mail
</switch> --> Send MailEven i have tried to call this workflow from Process rule of synchronization policy but in that case it only sends mail and the user doen't get crreated.
Please suggest what to do.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for ur reply. I have tried the configure taks method but don't u think that now it will send notification for ach and every account created in sim irrespective of the process used for account creation(ActiveSync or else) and resource because i need to send notification only when the user in sim is being created using activesync on Flat File Activesync resource.
Thats why please suggest something else or tell me how it can be made to resource specific in configure tasks as i don't think it is a good approach to modify the default create user workflow.
Thanks
Waiting for reply.

Email notifications not being sent

Hello all -
I have two Mac Mini Servers - both running 10.6.5
One server is within my LAN and behind an Apple Airport Extreme which is acting as a router.
The other server is collocated and has a direct connection to the internet. It is running the standard OS X Server firewall service to protect it.
I am having trouble getting the second server (with the direct connection to the internet) to send out alert emails (ie - as configured through Server Admin/settings/Alerts). I receive emails from the first server just fine.
Am assuming it is a firewall configuration issue - but I have tried turning off the firewall briefly and testing it - but it still doesn't work. The same applies to emails sent from within packages such as Joomla and Drupal (ie - new account emails)
Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks,
Andrew

Hi ClassicII
I really needed to get this working, so I have spent the last few days frantically searching for solutions and 'think' I have got it working.
Before I tell you how - a caveat. I am no expert by any means - so please tread carefully!
It seems that (and please correct me if I am wrong any experts that happen to be reading this) the mail service is actually used to send the notifications. I had switched this off to test, but it seems as if it starts momentarily when needed to send the notification then shuts down if it is not used for a while.
Therefore, the mail service does need to be configured. I don't use my server as an email server, so I only configured SMTP (not POP, nor IMAP) within mail.
So, within server admin :
go to the mail service for your server
Stop the mail service.
Settings tab - then general
Set domain name & host name to the domain name of your server (including subdomain)
Tick "Enable SMTP"
Un-tick "allow incoming mail", "Hold outgoing mail", "Relay outgoing mail" etc.
Start the mail service.
Then give it a try! You can always type echo "Hello" | mail -s "Test" youremailaddress at a command line to test.
Make sure your firewall is not blocking (I guess) port 25 outbound. I momentarily switched off my firewall service to test. Also, it could be that your ISP themselves block port 25 to stop people setting up mail servers.
One thing I found (through trial and error) is that if something is not correctly set up - it may work the first few times - but then stop with an error in the log (look in the SMTP Logs from within the mail service). This led to a few false dawns - but it has been running for 40 minutes and is still going. I now receive email notifications and my Drupal sites can send mail.
I went through a lot of trial and error / editing php.ini and main.cnf (to no avail) before getting this to work!
Hope it helps - let me know!

OEM Not sending email notifications..

Hello All,
I have setup all the parameters required for email notifications in My OEM Database Control..
I have even tested my by pressing test mail while configuring outgoing SMTP server..
Even marked to send an email in all the rules i needed..
So everything seems like i have setup all the parameters and even when i click on one alert and its details it shows *"The following notifications will be sent: 1 e-mail messages, 0 SNMP traps, 0 PL/SQL procedures, and 0 OS Commands."*
And as i expect it should show one more entry the email has been send to [email protected] but even after waiting for long time OEM is no sending the email specified in notication schedule..
What might be the reason for the same.. Any help would be great..
Oracle DB Version : 10.2.0.1
OEM : OEM Db control
Thanks

It might be one of the fllowing reasons
1.SYSMAN jobs are broken, re-enalbe the same.
2.Check Preferences--> Notification Rules--> And make sure all Rules are checked for Send Email.
3.Check dbms jobs are running under sysman schema on the repository.
Also see the below doc
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b40002/notification.htm#CACJCDHD
Hope this helps.

Email notification doesn't work in a specific tablespace.

Hello,
I have a Oracle 10gR2 Version: 10.2.0.5.0. I'm having problems to receive emails notifications in a specific tablespace. I created a Rule Notification for "Tablespace Space Used (%)". I know the rule and metrics are ok. How?
1) At another tablespace, I create a specific Threshold for Tablespace Space Used (%) and I set the Warning Threshold to 1%, and Critical Threshold to 2%. After some minutes, I receive an email with the Critical message because the tablespace have a 60% of space used. I do the same test with the other tablespace and no email received.
2) I have two servers with the same database (only data changes) and in one server its works , not in the other server.
This is the information for the "bad" tablespace:
Name
BAD_TABLESPACE
Bigfile tablespace
No
Status
ReadWrite
Type
Permanent
Extent Management
local
Storage
Allocation Type
Automatic
Segment Space Management
Automatic
Enable logging
Yes
Block Size (B)
8192
It have 45 .dbf datafiles. Almost all of them are 100% full (32GB max)
Locally Managed, Permanent, Read Write mode. an Logging enabled.
Any ideas? suggestions or miracles?
Thanks!

Then it should do the same in all tablespaces isn't it? Like sb92075 said: "different results occur when something is different.". The only thing different between the tablespaces is the process running on it. I have some process running in my "bad_tablespace" that it load a big amount of data. I detected when I stop all the process, I start again to receive the emails. I can't find information about that.
Could be possible the high data load of a tablespace might affect to notification emails?

Password not being included in Email Notification

I am trying to include the password for a newly-created user, in the body of an Email Notification being sent out.
But, the password is not being displayed.
As we all know, IDM uses the following variable for "*Password*" :
*<Field name='password.password'/>*
So, I included the password variable in my Email Template, as follows :
*<Variable name='mypassword'>*
*<select>*
*<ref>user.password.password</ref>*
*</select>*
*</Variable>*
But, when the Email is sent, the password is displayed in the email body as follows :
Password = "*Lighthouse_Fake_Password*"
How can I get the password to be displayed in the Email?
Thanks

Hi Michael,
since passwords are stored in encrypted format, you can not directly display them using user.password.password.
You have to first decrypt them. Use below rule by passing account id to it.

Email notification issue in some schemas

Hi,
My problem is almost identical as here DBMS_SCHEDULER send email notification issue
One privileged scheduler user - user1 receive email notifications while two another (user2, user3) no.
More plot is below i know 'what' resolve the problem but don't know how to do it :-)
I want to execute code below on user3 schema, we tried this successfully on user2 (code executed directly on schema with temporary sys.dbms_aq access) so he receive his notifications.
Problem is - we do not have direct access to second account (user3) how to execute this code as user3 ?
declare
reginfo1    sys.aq$_reg_info;
reginfolist sys.aq$_reg_info_list;
begin
reginfo1    := sys.aq$_reg_info('SYS.SCHEDULER$_EVENT_QUEUE:SCHED$_AGT2$_X',
                                  1,
                                  'plsql://SYS.SCHEDULER$_JOB_EVENT_HANDLER',
                                  null);
reginfolist := sys.aq$_reg_info_list(reginfo1);
dbms_aq.register(reginfolist, 1);
end;
Already tried create procedure on user3 and execute immediate annonymous block but it still register with USER# 1 not 3 in DBA_QUEUE_SUBSCRIBERS.
More detailed plot:
Jobs for user2 and user3 was created by user1, so JOB_CREATOR was user1 but OWNER was user2 or user3.
We started with notifications configuration witch was ended with error on both user2 and user3 accounts:
ORA-24093: AQ agent SCHED$_AGT2$_XX not granted privileges of database user1
W get rid wit this using
dbms_aqadm.enable_db_access(SCHED$_AGT2$_2, user1);
dbms_aqadm.enable_db_access(SCHED$_AGT2$_3, user1);
So user1 get privilege on agents for user2 and user3
I believe error was already there because DBMS_SCHEDULER.add_job_email_notification is more automatic it probably registered subscriber that belongs to user2 and user3 with wrong USER# ID that belongs to user1.
Database is 11.2.0.3

it doesn't work because notifications are set from user1 account so USER# is still 1 even when I removed record first.
This is my aproach based on Ask Tom: On Becoming Others, Limits, and Restoration
>sqlplus user1
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
SQL> grant execute on sys.dbms_aq to user1;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> alter user user3 grant connect through user1;
User altered.
SQL> connect user1[user3]
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> create or replace procedure sched_not_add_q as
2    reginfo1    sys.aq$_reg_info;
3    reginfolist sys.aq$_reg_info_list;
4 begin
5    reginfo1    := sys.aq$_reg_info('SYS.SCHEDULER$_EVENT_QUEUE:SCHED$_AGT2$_3',
6                                    1,
7                                    'plsql://SYS.SCHEDULER$_JOB_EVENT_HANDLER',
8                                    null);
9    reginfolist := sys.aq$_reg_info_list(reginfo1);
10    dbms_aq.register(reginfolist, 1);
11 end;
12 /
Procedure created.
SQL> exec sched_not_add_q;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> drop procedure sched_not_add_q;
Procedure dropped.
SQL> connect user1
Connected.
SQL> revoke execute on sys.dbms_aq from user3;
Revoke succeeded.
SQL> alter user user3 revoke connect through user1;
User altered.
SQL> exit;
>
So it works now.

Email notifications for multi level approvals in OIM 11g

Hi,
I am using OIM 11g.
And in my current environment, we have 4 levels of approvals and need to send a different type of email notification in every level to the corresponding approver.
Can you please let me know how to implement this in SOA composite. first two approvals are sequential and the remaining two approvals are parellel.
Thanks,
Swathi

You have to use combination of switch and if task. In if block you have provide the condition. This conditon will be predicted over some variable. This variable you will set in payload where approver will be decide.
You can have multiple mail notification or you can set the body content dynamically(set the variable data in payload where the approver is being manipulated) use this variable in body content.

Email notification retry

Hi,
Does anyone know if Identity Manager email notifications get automagically resent if they failed intially (because the SMTP server was down)? In my test environment it doesn't.
1. set-up email notifications correctly
2. make sure smtp server is running
3. trigger email notification (by running some workflow)
4. notification received
5. shut down smtp server
6. trigger email notification (...)
7. IDM returns error message
8. start smtp server
9. never receive notification triggered in step 6
Does somebody have a good workaround for this?
Thanks,
Robin

Hi Tirumal,
Configure 2 alerts.
One to be triggered when there is the error in tramsmitting the SOAP XML.
Next to be triggered after the retry for 8 hours. If you are using the BPM with wait, then you can associate the Alert with the Exception block of your BPM and trigger the same.
Also, from SP14, Alerts can be triggered for errros in both integratioon engine and adapter engine.
To create alerts , this blog can help you out,
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--step-by-step
From SP14 onwards, activation of end to end monitoring is not needed for Alerting. Refer to this note 870232 for this info.
If you are on Sp14, implement the note 913858.
If you are below SP14, then also check this blog,

Problem in Sending image in Email Notification

Hi All,
In our implementation we have to send customer logo in each email notification.
We have SIM 7.1 deployed on SUN JES Application server 8.2.
I tried to send the image using two ways but nothing got succeed.
1) Using <IMG src"http<machine name>:<port number>/idm/images/<image name>"/>
2) Deployed another trial.war file having only image folder and then using <IMG src"http<machine name>:<port number>/trial/images/<image name>"/>
Where "machine name", "port number" and "image name" have suggestive values as per our environment.
But i am not able to send the image. however second options works well with Tomcat.
If anybody has any prior experience or some idea please share. it will really be helpful for us.

Hi all,
Its done.
Actually there is some issue related with the intranet (may be they are blocking the image to get diaplayed) as its working for gmail and all.
Thanks

Delay in email notifications

Hi,
We use Siebel CRM On Demand as our Helpdesk system. here in Australia We use workflow email notifications, however the emails are sent anywhere between 0 and 16 hours later. Obviously we need to receive them straight away, 16 hours later is not good as a Helpdesk notification. Has anyone else experienced this, or know how this can be fixed? (I have already raised a case with Oracle).
This may have something to do with the time difference between the US and Australia...? Thanks.

We've setup 400 workflows in Sydney for a customer and during our testing the emails were always received within 5 mins. I would maybe talk to your email administrator about the [email protected] email address, perhaps your mail server is blocking it as spam? or has flagged it for some reason.
