CUP 5.3: SMTP Server

Good day Chaps.
Is it mandatory to have a MS Exchange mailbox created and the email name maintained in the Enter Email Notification Sender in CUP > SMTP Server?
If not, how will CUP send out the CUP Request email notifications?  The AC5.3_Config_Guide does not mention anything on the topic.
Regards,
M Hannie

Dear all,
I've setup the SMTP server information, and CUP is sending emails to notify approvers of pending requsts.  However I have a few issues with this screen.
SMTP Server has been entered and has saved
I had tried to put in URLs for the Application URL and the Redirection URL.  The values I had entered were not correct and so now, the link that is sent to the approvers doesn't lead them to the correct CUP screen.  This is my first issue - what is the correct information that should go into these fields?
The second problem is that if I try to delete this information, and then try to save it, I receive the following error:
Action failed. An unknown error occurred while performing the operation
Upon checking the logs, I notice the following:
2009-11-19 13:16:21,495 [SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_3] ERROR com.virsa.ae.configuration.actions.SMTPServerNameAction
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
From this error, I can make out that it is being generated because I tried to remove the incorrect URLs that I had entered.
Have you seen this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?
Thanks,
Santosh Krishnan

  • CUP SMTP server error

    Hi Experts,
    I have a problem configuring my SMTP server in GRC CUP 5.3 .
    As you   guys have already noticed its has a couple of extra fields in 5.3  than  to 5.2 in the SMTP pane  where you save your server name
    error : " Action failed. An unknown error occurred while performing the operation."
    But I tried configuring this in 5.2 and it worked fine!!!
    Should I be filling the additonal fields like System email ID , application URL ,redirection URL etc.
    Please see the log below

    Any thoughts , please share you rexperinces

    PKK

    Hi Alpesh,
    I was able to resolve the same issue MK reported by adding dummy URLs in the Application URL and Redirection URL fields in SMTP config.   Thanks for the tip!
    However, this seems to introduce a new problem in URL links attached to the e-mail notifications sent to users/approves, etc.
    For example,
    I enetered http://ercp1xxx:50400/AE/ in the Application URL and Redirection URL fields which allows me to save my SMTP configuration.
    When the users received e-mail notification of the status of their request, they will get a link automatically attached to the end of the e-mail to allow them to check the status. For example,
    http://ercp1xxx:50400/AE/index.jsp?loadRequestStatusSearchClosed.do.....    If the user copy and paste this link to a browser, they will be able to go to AE to check status.
    However, if they click on the link provided in the e-mail, the user will be directed to a link like below which is not a valid address and users will get error message.   
    e.g.http://ercp1xxx:50400/AE/=http://ercp1xxx:50400/AE/index.jsp?loadRequestStatusSearchClosed.do
    It looks like the URL I defined for App or Redirection for SMTP was appended in front of the URL generated for e-mail notification.
    Do you know how to fix this issue?  I can not leave the App or Redirection for SMTP config blank otherwise I can not save my SMTP config.    Can I change the link that automatically entered in the email,for example,
    from http://ercp1xxx:50400/AE/index.jsp?loadRequestStatusSearchClosed.do
    to index.jsp?loadRequestStatusSearchClosed.do  ?
    Then when the Application URL combined with it the link will work?   Of course this may introduce a different problem that the link showed up in the e-mail may not look correct either.   
    Many thanks for your help.
    Regards.

  • 5.3-SP12 CUP-SMTP Server-Redirection URL

    Hi experts,
    I've configured the SMTP server by setting the Applicattion URL : Configuration>Workflow>SMTP Server, but there is another field: Redirection URL that I have not full-filled.
    Which is the functionality of setting the redirection URL at the SMTP Server?
    Many thanks!

    It's two different URLs:
    - you will need the SMTP server (which is not a URL but a host name, i.e. "mail.yourcompany.com")
    - you do not need the redirect URL if you don't do SSO
    Frank.

  • Configuration error when saving SMTP server

    I am configuring CUP 5.3 (SP06).  When I put in our SMTP server, I get the following error:
    " Action failed. An unknown error occurred while performing the operation. "
    It looks like this screen was changed with SP06.  I am not filling out anything under "Enter Email Notification Sender" or under "Application URL" (which seems to be new fields).
    Here is what the log says:

    Hi Peggy,
    This is a known bug in AC 5.3 SP6. SAP has added fields for administrator email address, application URL and redirection URL. Even though application URL and redirection URL do not show up as manadatory fields but they are required to save the configuration. To get pass through this error, just provide anything in those 2 textboxes with some dummy email address in administrator email address textbox. You should be able to save it now.
    This is being fixed in SP7 which should release somewhere around end of March.
    Please check this similar thread:

  • HT4519 How do I use one smtp server for multiple accounts?

    I have 5 email accounts on my iPhone.Though they are different providers, I've been using the same smtp server. To simplify my life, I'd like to delete 4 servers. However, each is considered a Primary server and is undeletable. How do I get around this?

  • Send email from OWB with authenticated SMTP server (AUTH_LOGIN)

    Hi all,
    I want to send email from Oracle Warehouse Builder 11.2.0.2 using a SMTP server with basic authentication (AUTH_LOGIN).
    I've created an ACL for OWBSYS user according to note ID 1229769.1 in support.oracle.com.
    But, I need to configure again the ACL to connect to the SMTP server using user and password.
    I read the article in metalink, *How to Send an Email Using SMTP over an SSL Connection [ID 1323140.1]*+
    but I don't know how can I configure again the ACL for use in OWB.
    How OWB is able to authenticate with the SMTP server?
    Thanks!
    Maximiliano.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • I cannot acess some of my emails. Thunderbird keeps saying "connection to SMTP server (email adress) timed out. What does that mean? What do I do please?

    I purchased 2 new email, adresses a few weeks ago. Both were fine but a few days ago I was stopped sending and stopped receiving emails on the one. The message comes up on my screen "connection to SMTP server (followed by my email adress) timed out. That does not mean a thing to me. What should I do please?

    Thankyou.
    I had been asked by ICANN some days ago to do something but I thought it was a scam so ignored it. Most other users I have spoken to have never heard of ICANN or been asked to 'register' with them or whatever. Anyway, post writing to you I have now 'registered' with them . When I now click on my incoming email adress it just says "failed to connect to server" but why it fails I do not know.

  • My e-mails are not sending. "connection to SMTP server timed out." How do I get this working?

    As of yesterday, I am receiving e-mails fine; however, unable to send. Everytime I try to send an e-mail, I get "Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server (my mail address) timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator.
    I received help from lunarpages (they host my domain); however, they were unable to resolve the issue. They suggested something is blocking IP, or need to update Thunderbird, or there's a firewall there...
    Help!!!
    My clients are waiting for responses to e-mails!
    Thank you.

    To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
    *Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
    *Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
    ; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

  • Cannot send emails - connection to SMTP server timeout

    I cannot send emails from my Thunderbird. Every time I try, an error message shows up saying that the connection to SMTP server has timed out:
    "Sending of message failed.
    The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server smtp.lineone.net timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator."
    I have looked at many different possible solutions and tried them, but nothing seems to be working. I have tried several different ports, failed to send in Safe Mode with Networking and Thunderbird safe mode without add-ons and tried many different settings. I have ensured that the my settings on Thunderbird match the settings that my ISP recommends. My anti-virus software is not affecting it either. Maybe there is something I am missing but I would really appreciate any suggestions!
    Here is some general info:
    Mail provider: lineone
    ISP: BT
    Anti-virus software: AVG
    OS: Windows Vista
    Thunderbird version: 31.5.0

    Hello @shredo,
    Firstly, I would suggest reading this support article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages
    If that doesn't help, try some of these things (not sorted in any particular order):
    *Test your connection in another network. There might just be some blocked ports in your router or conflict of some sort.
    * Test your smtp settings in another email client (to ensure that they actually work). If it doesn't work, there might be some missmatch with the settings (even though you have ensured that they match), or some restriction by your router or something.
    * Apparently, compacting your thunderbird folders might help with this issue (something to do with too many "deleted", that are still there) - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_Tips_:_Compacting_Folders
    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot connect to smtp server

    hi,
    i have been using microsoft entourage for mac 2004 for almost a year now and have been receiving and sending email just fine until a few days ago. i checked with my ISP and they said that the problem is not with my e-mail address and to check with entourage help, which turned out to be very little help.
    so, now im trying to set up my email address to use the mac mail program, and i get the same type of error- a problem the smtp server... so i have the same problem i had with entourage: i can recieve email, but not send it.
    any ideas?

    If you are no longer able to send messages with this account and SMTP server using Entourage (and the settings have not been changed) and the Mail.app is unable to send messages with the same account settings, this indicates there is a problem with the SMTP server settings or there is a temporary problem with the SMTP server.
    The connection to the server "smtp.snet.yahoo.com" on port 25 timed out.
    This error message indicates there is a problem with the SMTP server settings.
    SBC has been known to make changes and not informing their customers beforehand and with both Entourage and the Mail.app not being able to send messages with the same settings, this is a strong indication the problem lies with SBC or the SMTP server settings and not with your Mac.
    I would contact SBC technical support again and nicely request to speak with a supervisor or the next level up.

  • Cannot connect to SMTP server using Outlook Connector

    Hi All,
    I am trying to connect outlook client to my oracle mail server in OCS. I have succefully installed the Outlook connector but when i try to connect it gives me the following error:
    The SMTP server is unavailable.
    When i click on retry it gives me the option to enter the Server name, i type the server name with fully qualified domain name. ( i can ping the server from the client pc from where i am trying to connect). But no luck at all.
    However i am able to send receive e-mail from the wb client, no issues at all, which means my SMTP server is up and running. I have also verified that listener_es process is up and running.
    Any suggestions or ideas would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dipak.

    Hi Naqi,
    You are absolutely correct. I added the client in /etc/hosts file and it all worked well.
    Not just connecting the client but also when i telnet on port 25 i dont get the spam error.
    ALso, i have seen lots of your input on the forums and has been very helpfull.
    Thankyou so much.
    I will be attempting to migrate some of my users via export/import from .pst file. These users have about 9000 mails in their mail box. During the normal migration i had errors and couldnt migrate these users. Let me see how it goes now.

  • How can I control SMTP server list in Mail?

    I've seen a lot of discussion about e.g. deleting servers, but it often includes smug replies like "click the delete button" when there is often no such button. I have found a possible 'get around' to this particular problem by changing the server data to something that doesn't exist, save that, then select the server again from the list and hey presto, there is now a Delete button you can use. But again, that is not the full story because if that server is used as the primary server for any other account, you cannot modify the data.
    Not only that, but you CANNOT simply swap servers so that e.g. an account uses one of the other servers as its primary server. Unless I'm missing something major here, it is NOT possible to move servers. You can change the data for the server to be exactly the same as another server, but that just means you now have an identical duplicate. Once a server entry has been created, it is an independent data entity.
    So I seem to have several problems here.
    1. A server cannot be deleted if it's in use as a primary for any account.
    2. Servers cannot be moved, i.e. swapped between 'Primary' and 'Other'
    3. Simply editing the server data does not 'merge' it with any other entry that may have the exact same data.
    4. When creating an account, you cannot pick the outgoing SMTP server from the list of ones already created. Simply entering the same data as one that already exists may use that existing server, but may create a new duplicate. I have seen both of these occur and once there's a duplicate, you cannot get rid of it.
    I want 3 accounts to all use the same 'Primary' server and also have the same 'Other' server. IOW, only 2 actual servers. After the first 2 accounts are created, that's what I have. Somehow they seem to be able to 'share' the same servers. But when I create the third account and enter the same data for its SMTP server as the others use as their primary (i.e. exactly the same process as when creating the second account), for some reason it does NOT use the existing matching server and I now get a third server created. I simply cannot get around this since whatever I do, each of the duplicates is used as a primary and so cannot be deleted. If I could swap them around so that the third account was using another account as its primary, then I could delete the duplicate and all would be well, but as pointed out above, that's not possible.
    I'm hoping that I'm simply wrong about all this and it is actually possible to do what I currently believe it impossible. Can anyone explain how to actually control this server list?

  • How do I delete multiple copies of a SMTP server under iOS 7.0.6 on an iPhone 5S?

    I have a conflict in trying to set up email using the iPhone mail application.  I had to change the password for the email account, which was done via the host's control panel.  I am able to send and receive mail (POP) via the computer and logging in through the provider webmail.  I have deleted the mail account multiple times on the iPhone and keep getting an user authentication error when setting up as new.
    The only was to fix this was to revert back to the password originally in use prior to the change.  The provider was watching the log files as I tried to change the settings on the iPhone and also was seeing the user authentication error when using a new password.  Once I changed it back to the old password, all worked fine.
    They think that because there are now multiple instances of the SMTP server listed, that the login is actually pulling the info from the old SMTP server info, even though all the others are turned 'off' in the settings.
    I can find no way to permanently delete all the instances of this SMTP server so that I can set the account up as totally new.
    How do I do this?
    Thanks.

    Are you sure they are on the device?  Sounds like they are just in iCloud. Do they have a cloud icon next to them?  If they do they aren't on your device and as such not taking up space.  If you don;t want to see them you can go to Settings->Videos->Show All Videos and turn it off. This will hide all your iCloud movies from the videos App. but again they aren't really on your device.

    Unfortunately that's not something you can change. To see the titles you need to tap on the movie. I guess Apple assumes the cover art already has the name so there is no need to repeat it.
