ERec: Standard workflow not sending mail

Hi Experts,
I am experiencing 2 different scenarios in Sandbox and development. In both the systems workflows WS51900008 and WS51900010 are active.
Now when i try to register a candidate, the workflow gets triggered. But it is not sending any mail. I traced it in SWI1 and it stops at send mail. The log shows that the activity status (of activity 1035) is set as Planned. However in sandbox the activity status is set to completed. Hence in sandbox mail is sent and in development it is not sent.
Note: The only difference in sandbox and development i could find out is that user WF-Batch is linked to a object type CP. Whereas this is missing in development.
Can someone please help me in understanding why this difference in behavior?
The system is on ERECRUIT 617 SP0002.
Regards,
Pradeep.

Dear Pradeep,
First u need to check weather RFC related to WF_BATCH is working or not ?
GO to SM59, Logical Connections-> Workflow_Local_XXX . test this RFC weather it is working or not ?
Go to TCODE ->SWU3, it is for Configuration of Workflows , check this as well .
Maintain runtime environment-> Configure RFC Destination .Check Weather there is a Tick Mark OR Wrong Mark .
Go To SU01, Check weather USER WF-BATCH is not locked .
User WF-BATCH should have valid Email Address. eg : [email protected] .
You can take help from below link as well .
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/Forgotten+Password+link+and+assigning+role+to+WF-BATCH+user.
Hope, this will be helpful .
If you have any other doubts feel free to clear .

Pran

SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow not sending e-mails

Hello everyone, it's me again.
I have a problem with my custom workflow. A simple workflow made in SharePoint Designer 2013 with a "Send Mail" action isn't actually sending any e-mails.
I am able to send mails with SharePoint 2013 with out-of-the-box workflows or alerts when sharing a page. The simple workflow is: Send Mail to TestUser after a new item has been created.
1) SMTP server has been configured and tested successfully, I am able to send mails
2) The workflow gets "Completed" status even though I didn't actually receive a mail
3) I double checked User Profiles and the e-mails are correct (I also checked in Active Directory)
4) The User Profile Sync. Service is running and I even did a full sync
5) Out of the box workflows are work perfectly fine
I have no explanation why custom workflows won't send a mail. I can perform other actions like "change workflow status".
Any help please?

Hi Ali,
Please check if "send mail" action does not work in both SharePoint workflow 2010 platform and SharePoint 2013 platform.
Please add the actions "log to history" before and after action "send mail" to check if the send mail action is performed.
And you can also add "pause for a duration" before the "send mail" action, see if it could help.
You may also check if there are some related ULS log.
Thanks

Workflow to send mail 20 day before the expiry date

Dear All,
I created a workflow to send mail when a calculated column date is equal to today as follows:-
Step1
add -20 days to Current Item:Expiry Date (Output to Variable : date)
then set variable : Notification1 to Variable : date
Step2
If variable:notification1 equals (ignoring time) Today
email users
Now when i add a new item to the list , the workflow status is set to In progress , and when i refresh the page the status is changed to Completed before the condition is met and!!
Any help
Regards

If I Understood your question correctly, you need to send email to user 20 days before expiration date.
From above you workflow I can see, you are just checking your condition once a item is created. As your Step2 condition is not met your workflow is completed without any error. I suggest you might want to try below workflow
Step1
add -20 days to Current Item:Expiry Date (Output to Variable : date)
then set variable : Notification1 to Variable : date
then Pause until Variable:date
Step2
email users
Above workflow design will pause you workflow till 20 days before expiry date. and then send email to user.
Please ignore syntax, I just tried to put logic.
Below is explantion on how to use Pause Action(from MSDN) in Sharepoint workflow
This action is initially displayed in a workflow step as Pause until this time.
Use this action to pause the workflow until a particular date. You can add a current date, a specific date, or a lookup.
Following are examples of what the action might look like in a workflow step,
Pause until 1/1/2010 12:00:00 AM
Pause until Variable: A week from Modified

Backend query to configure do not send mail

Hi,
We need to configure workflow notification mailer in production instance: The plan of action is as follows:
Change the mail_status to 'SENT' for all mails which are in queue.
Update the personalised status for all users to 'DO NOT SEND MAIL'
Select few users and set status to 'MAIL TYPE HTML' so that these users will be able to receive mails.
Configure workflow mailer.
Test the mailing service.
Now in above plan we need to find out backend query to update this status from backend for changing status to 'DO NOT SEND MAIL' as there are 200's of users. and manually would be time consuming.
Can you please guide.
Regards,

Still not sending mail tried all

I just got my new Quad Mac Pro and I was totally ready for the mail sending problem. I have been following here for a while and was fairly certain I would not have a problem.
I have a typical cable (Time Warner Road Runner) account and have a gmail address. Auto setup tries to create an IMAP mailbox when I first launched Mail, but I use POP. So I made the changes on the incoming server and immediately got my mail to download. I went to the outgoing server edit list and selected custom port, entered 25, set the authentication to password, included my password.
I was so sure I was on it, but I failed! No send.
I am at a loss, and it is way late. I will try again tomorrow.

As you kids say, you sir are 'The Bom!' That was the entire solution to my problem with a caveat. I made the changes suggested on that page to my account settings and still no joy. I believe that there were some bits of information still lingering in the .plist, so I deleted that after deleting the account. I have an unused account with a .rr.com domain, so I set that up first. I was able to get Mail to let me set up the account manually (an issue with sending the password caused this) With the standard 'custom port 25' setting that account could send mail (and receive all the spam there!)
I then had to fool Mail into letting me setup the new Gmail account manually as well. If I allowed the Mail program to try to set it up, it would try to set it up as an IMAP account, and even with the changes made in the account settings it would not send mail from that account. Again I think it was something being hidden in the .plist that would not go away. So, another deletion of the .plist and tricking Mail into a manual setup by entering a bogus .rr.com account allowed me to create a new account as a POP account.
I made all the settings as suggested by google on your link and BAM, Bob's your Uncle!
Thank you so much. I would have spent hours.

p.s. Carolyn, that link was for setting up Mail 3, which unfortunately was unhelpful.

Alert not sending mail even if executed successfully.

hi all,
I have created alert in R12 environment. it is periodic alert which will fire everyday.
There are 2 actions
1. Run the Concurrent program and insert values emp_no,emp_name,manager_name,manager_mail into custom table.
2. Send mail to manager_mail containing data like emp_no and emp_name.
I encapsulated both the action in one action set. Sequencing 1. Concurrent Program ( Detail Level) 2. Send mail (detail level)
When i am executing alert, it is ending with completed successfully. It is inserting data into custom table but it is not sending mail to manager mail id.
When i tried to check history, it is showing 'n' number of exceptions, but all those exception are not available in FIND EXCEPTION tab.
I m not able to find out, what exactly wrong i have done.
Query is:
Select emp_no,emp_name,manager_name,manager_mail into
&l_emp_no,&emp_name,l_manager_name,l_manager_mail from xx_alert_table_data;
and I am passing &l_manager_mail into 'To' section of send_mail action. it is not containing any null data. all the email address are present in that field.
please suggest if i m doing anything wrong.

Just putting the data into tables is not the actual process, performing the connection to the email server and sending email.
Underneath it's a multilayered process .
Oracle Alert uses Oracle Workflow Notification mailer for sending requests, which in turn uses mailer program to send mails.
So, you need first to check the state of Notification mailer then locate logs of the mailer utulity used by these and see whether there were any connection/negotiation errors and what information in header fields has been actually sent.
To see notification mailer program status change responsibility to Workflow Manager, then go to "Service Components" section and find there Workflow Notification process.
To find the mailer type, change responsibility to Alert Manager, then go to System->Options and see which mailer is in use.
Usually on Unix, sendmail is used, so you may easily turn on debug logging and see the mail headers and complete negitiation logs, if you need them.

I was troubleshooting my own issue noted above and tried to send the attachments via gmail's web interface (bypassing Apple Mail). This time, gmail provided an error message stating that the file contained a virus.
Since it was a zip of several Word docs, I saved them as PDFs and then rezipped, and Apple Mail sent them off like a champ.
Evidently, Mail does not have a method for relaying the precise nature of the error message that gmail sends (in this case that the attachment had what gmail thought was a virus). This would be a prime area for some software developers to tackle on a future version of Mail.
By the way, the files almost certainly do not contain viruses; they are extremely old Word Docs that have been on my successive Mac hard drives for at least 9 years. Too old a format for gmail to recognize?
Hope this helps someone who may be having the same trouble.

Can not send mail using wifi at a motel .I can receive mail fine

can not send mail using wifi at a motel .I can receive mail fine

Hi there tamarafromdarien,
You may find the troubleshooting steps for iCloud Mail in the article below helpful.
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
If you can't send mail in OS X Mail
If you receive this alert or a similar alert when sending a message from your iCloud email address in OS X Mail:
“This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The reason for the failure is: An error occurred while delivering this message via the smtp server: server name.”
In OS X Mail, choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
Click the Account Information tab.
Choose your iCloud account from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu. Example: “Derrick Parker (iCloud)”.
Note: The Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu also includes an Edit SMTP Server List command. If you choose this command, be aware that the iCloud SMTP server won't be among the servers that can be edited. This is normal.
If you're attaching a large file
Message attachments can't exceed the maximum size allowed by your email service provider or the recipient's email service provider. The maximum size varies by service provider. Try compressing the filebefore sending it, or send your message without the attachment to verify that there are no issues with sending.

Why can I receive mail on my iPAD during my visit to the USA but not send mail?

Why can I receive mail on my iPad during my visit to the USA but not send mail?

Double check to make sure that your same email addresses are set up on both devices in the Messages settings. Also ensure that you have text messaging forwarding turned off if you do not want to receive them on your iPad.

Why can I receive but not send mail?

Why can I receive but not send mail?

With sparse information you give I would venture that you have not set up the correct Outgoing Mail Server settings in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Contact your ISP for their set up.

Mail will not send mail, only receive.

I have spent the majority of today re-installing OS X and all necessary updates, music, data after the death of a hard drive. Luckily everything went perfectly, except for the same problem I had with Mail even before the 1st hard drive died. Mail will not send mail, only receive.
All efforts time out and give me this message: "The connection to the server mail.earthlink.net on port 25 timed out"
Mail used to send messages, but stopped suddenly in 2004 and has yet to start again. Any idea guys?! I can't figure it out, under Account settings I have necessary fields filled in: Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is set to "mail.earthlink.net", Server Port is set to 25, and Authentication drop menu is set to None.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
--DANIEL

This is NOT a problem with Mail or OS X. This is an incorrect settings problem - garbage in = garbage out and this information is certainly available at Earthlink's website and Earthlink also provides technical support.
Earthlink has an authenticated SMTP server they changed to long ago.
SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 587 but 25 should work if you are using Earthlink as your internet service provider for connecting to the internet.
Use SSL: Off or not selected.
Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
User Name: Your ENTIRE Earthlink email address.
Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
