Error in step "mail"

Hi Experts,
I am new to workflow.I created a simple workflow objet to send mail to specified user.To achive this i have create a new workflow object in that created a mail step in undefined step.In this step i have assiend the the user to recive the message.The recepient type as User and then i have gave the username. i haven't get any the syntax earrors.Then i have executed the workflow i got the error in Log like this: Unable to read RFC destination WORKFLOW_LOCAL_100.
please suuest to resolve this issue.

Hi Jagadeesh,
Welcome to Workflow.
Go to transaction SWU3.
The function Execute Automatic Workflow Customizing enables you to
maintain the standard settings for the Workflow Engine.
If the logical RFC destination WORKFLOW_LOCAL_xxx does not already
exist, it is created automatically. The user WF-BATCH is requested (including
password). WF-BATCH needs to be created in the current client
You can Maintain the RFC destination again by clicking on the Configure RFC
Destination icon.
The workflow runtime system always executes RFC calls in the logical destination
WORKFLOW_LOCAL_<Clnt>. Clnt stands for the 3-figure number of the client.
As a default, no logical destination exists for the RFC calls of the workflow system.
If user WF-BATCH doesnt exist, then you need to follow the below steps.
Create a user with the name WF-BATCH using the user administration function
(transaction SU01).
Create this user with the user type System (before 4.6C, the correct user
type was Background).
Assign this user the authorization profiles SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW.
Refer to SAP Notes 73160, 149344, 547419, and 429938.
Maintain the user address for this user.
Also maintain a forwarding address in the user master data. (this is the
sender's address when sending an e-mail)
You must maintain a logical destination in each client of your system.
When you execute the Configure RFC destination function, the system reads the
password in the user master record and enters it in the workflow destination.
Regards,
PR.

How to restart an workflow if ended in error at SEND Mail step.

Hello All
      I am facing some problem in restarting the error workflow.
Issue is:
   Workflow ended in error at the mail notification step, since the mail id is not filled into the container so there is no address (mail id) and ended in error.
   How to restart these kinds of workflow in the system?, we have tried to change the container value by assigning mail id and restarted the workflow but still went into error.
Is it possible to restart an workflow which ended in error other than rule resolution.
Regards
Anand KS

I think you went in the write approach. I think you have to change the container properly by populating the ADDRESSTRING container element. Also check whether type of email recipient in your container is et to Email.
Thanks

Error: The e-mail server could not be reached when the system was trying to

Dear All,
I've configured the Mail Transport in Portal successfully with SMTP as MS Exchange Server and Third-party Mailing servers. But due to some licensing issues a new MS Exchange mail server have been setup replacing the existing ones.
And when i configure the Mail Transport in the system i get the below message on the eMail Window:
"Error: The e-mail server could not be reached when the system was trying to send the message!
javax.mail.MessaginException: 530 5.7.1 Client ws not authenticated
I've configured (all the steps) the same way as i used to before and restarted the server as well! Please let me know the issue to be resolved, the telnet to the mailserver is also successful. I've try'd searching SDN, didn't find the exact solution... any notes on this?
Thanks,

Hi,
It will depend on your infrastructure, I am not sure and have limited knowledge on netowrks, but in my current landscape both the system were in same domain, but still i had to maintain proxy configuration.
Since it giving authentication error, it feel it could be proxy error.
Please refer below links which talks about same error :
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/FAQ.html#smtpauth
Or else i think it is issue with port.

Error while sending mail from SAP

Hello All,
Recently we are facing an error while sending mail from SAP. When we try to compose a message ,it is moving to a dump error RAISE_EXCEPTION.
The details from ST22,
Short text
    Exception condition "FOLDER_NOT_EXIST" raised.
Error analysis
    A RAISE statement in the program "SA
    condition "FOLDER_NOT_EXIST".
    Since the exception was not intercep
    program, processing was terminated.
Kindly suggest..
Thank You,
Regards,
Hasan

Hello Priyanka,
Actually, I performed the following two steps in order to solve the issue:
- In transaction SICF, the node for SAPConnect must be active. In our system, this node was in inactive state. Hence I activated it.
- Then In transaction SCOT-> Settings menu--> default domain should be 'xyz.com' if the email addresses in your company are maintained with a suffix xyz.com.
But for me the problem didnt get solved here..
The problem that i am facing now is that if in my user profile, I have the email address maintained, then i get an error saying 'Sender address rejected'. However, if i goto transaction SU01 and clear the email id, the mail is successfully sent to outer world.
You can try the above mentioned two steps using SICF and SCOT. If the problem does not get solved then try clearing the mail id in ur user profile.
Hope this helps. If you find an answer to the problem of the mail id getting cleared, then please let me know..

ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist

I'm running an Xserve G5 with one internal boot drive and one RAID using the other two internal drives. I used Apple's Disk Utility to set-up the RAID.
Back in early December, I moved my mail database and mail store to the RAID. Ever since, when I restart the server, the mailaccess.log generates the following error:
Jan 23 18:51:33 mail master[47]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist: /Volumes/RAID/mail.data/db
I'm speculating this is a timing error that gets created when Postfix initially can't find the RAID. Then, it must try again and find it because the error message does not repeat and mail starts running.
Is this something to worry about?

Hi Joel,
You're right, it's a timing issues. The mail system is ready for work before the file system is mounted. It's benign.

Mail server log says: master[50]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services...

Recently, after a year or more of relatively smooth service, my OS X Server 10.4.11 Mail services has been locking up daily.
I was finally able to get some information from the log files (I am a noob to this) and saw the following right after my most recent reboot of the server:
Oct 5 09:51:11 mm1 master[50]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist: /Volumes/Data/mail/var/imap
I checked the server and that directory is indeed there on the partition named "DATA", so I am baffled as why the server does not thing the configuration directory exists?
drwxr-xr-x 15 cyrusima mail 510 Oct 5 09:51 imap
drwxr-xr-x 15 root admin 510 Oct 3 20:01 imap.BAK

Can anyone help me? My customers are yelling for blood because they cannot send/receive emails.

Thanks Alex for the feedback. You are helpful as always!
It's good to know that the message I am getting from the mail server about the configuration files is only a temporary thing. Although I find it strange that the mail service doesn't know where its config files are since it is specified in the mail server setup.
I looked at the log files you mentioned and do not see anything that looks like a specific problem with the mail services themselves.
Recently, however, I have been having recurring problems where my mail server and my Web/Database server have both become unresponsive at nearly the same time even though they are on different class A networks to where I cannot access them via ARD, Server Admin and even SSH. That is usually when my mail server goes offline. I was afraid it was because of that configuration error I was seeing, but think now that the problem could be something else entirely (maybe some kind of network problem or denial of service hacking attack, no idea).
Thanks again.

this is where i created the keystore.jks file
I navigated to the location C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13\bin in command prompt and typed the following command to create the keystore
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias root -file mail_test_com.crt -keystore keystore.jksI was asked to set the password for keystore and then i was asked the question "Trust this certificate? [no]:" for which i gave yes.
If this is not the right place to create the keystore.jks can you please tell me what is correct location to create the keystore file.

1. check once more if you've filled all

(if you do that dynamically mail package or adapter specific fileds check if they are filled)
2. check in visual admin the whole error description

Error in sending mail : SMTPSendFailedExcept Client was not authenticated

Hello all,
I am new to the forum,
I have a small program to send mail to Microsoft exchange server.
Now the server is enabled with https option.
Now i am getting error :
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueSendCommand(SMTPTransport.java:1668)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.mailFrom(SMTPTransport.java:1207)

at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:191)
at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:120)
at SendEmail.main(SendEmail.java:55)
there are two things:
As the program sends mail from a webpage, a user password used for login to the webpage is different from his mail server password, it is not possible to give a username and password to send mail / read mail from the exchange server.
Please give any other option without passing user name and password to the exchange server.

1. Reconfigure the Exchange server to allow sending without authentication.
2. Authenticate to the Exchange server using credentials specific to the web application itself.
Configure the Exchange server to allow the user with those credentials to send mail that appears
to be from any other user.
No, I don't know how to do any of that with Exchange; ask Microsoft.

Mail expunge error and old mail switching to new mail status

Everything started when I set to enabled in mail-general-when searching mail boxes: include encrypted pages.
I was looking for a way to seach in the content of the message for the mails.
Then the first error appeared: the mails when I read those mails returned by themselves to the state of unread.
Then I disabled again the optin: mail-general-when searching mail boxes: include encrypted pages,
but the error continued. and all my mails (more than 1200) were set automatically to the "new" mail status each time that I started the mail program.
Now I created a mailbox named "old" when I move the new messages that I have read to that file.
But now the mail program uses the memory constantly.
with out the mail, the computer memory is near 5%, but when I start the mail program and use it constantly, the memory goes to 100% until I receive the mail expunge error.
The machine has 4Ghz ram, and the mail program uses all until I got the error, I am using a G5, dual cpu, 2ghz, mac osx server. There are no other programs using the memory.
1)how can I configure the mail to avoid the expunge error?
2)how I can configure the mail to keep the mails that I just read to an old state (avoiding those to restart their state to "new")?
3)it is possible to do searchs in all the content of the messages?
thanks
Alberto

You’re welcome.
Well, not knowing what the problem really is, and since it apparently started to happen after you changed some settings, I’d try setting up Mail again from scratch and import your mail back afterwards.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk, try this:
1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
2. Quit Mail if it’s running.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/. Move (not copy) the entire Mail folder out of there, to the Desktop.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop.
5. Open Mail and set it up again from scratch. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and check that everything works fine.
6. You’ll have to re-configure all your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
7. If Mail works fine now and you had any messages stored in local mailboxes, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import your mail from the old Mail folder that’s now on the Desktop. Import the Mailboxes folder first, then each of the POP-username@mailserver account folders, if any.
8. If .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Workflow step Mail with purchase order number is not executing

Hi All,
I created aworkflow which gets triggerd when a Purchase Order is created. I have mentioned the BUS 2012 event 'Release Step Created' as starting condition for the workflow. My workflow is triggering correclty. I need to send a mail to the initiator stating that the purchase order <po. no.> has been created. But I am not getting the PO number and workflow is stopping at the step mail where subject is mentioned with element &BUS2012.PURCHASEORDER&.
If I didnot mention the PO number workflow is executing correclty. I have done all the necessary binding also.
Thanks in advance,
Sri Suktha.

Hello,
This can often be caused by not adding 'US' to the username, check if that's the case here.
I would try creating a test workflow which does nothing but send a mail, try to get that working first.
