Sending OUTLOOK mail from Workflows

HI ,
Please help me in getting out of this error encountered during a sample workflow thing.
Here is the requirement I need to send a OUTLOOK mail from SAP.If the user accepts the workflow task then mail need to send a recipient ,stating that he accepthed the request.
Below I designed that task.
In send Mail step I added the recipent thing as stated below.But I was unable to send mail to OUTLOOK .In this I am not even getting notification in my SBWP in SAP INBOX.
How should i send the mail to OUTLOOK from SAP.

Hi Ranjith,
Here's some friendly advice for you:
- don't post the same question twice
- if you get a specific error message ('wait for communications service'), try investigating it yourself by googling it.
In this case, your issue is almost certainly with your mail setup - you can confirm this by trying to send a mail from SBWP to an external address. If so, it's a Basis issue, not workflow. You can safely hand it off to your Basis team.
cheers
Paul

Problem in sending e-mail from workflow task

I configured the TS20000095 for sending a mail to PERNR when his trip was approved. I generated the auto binding for the task. But I am getting error in task saying "Work item 000000393101( work item id): Object 000000393101 method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION cannot be executed" and help says check the binding between the task container and the method container. What I need to do in method container. Please help me.

the trip number is coming correctly and employee details.
The binding is like this
CONTAINER => METHOD
&ADDRESSSTRINGS& = &ADDRESSSTRINGS&
&EXPRESS& = &EXPRESS&
&RECEIVERS& = &RECEIVERS&
&TYPEID& = &TYPEID&
&LANGUAGE& = &LANGUAGE&
&ATTACHMENTS& = &ATTACHMENTS&
&LINEWIDTH& = &LINEWIDTH&
And I have added the initial values for the container elements in the standard task. When I tested in SWUD these values are carried .. but when I trigger the event BUS2089 - APPROVED the task is triggered but the initial values are missing so getting error. Please let me know what to do.

Sending mail from workflow inbox to outlook,when idoc error occurs

Hi All,
I tried to send a mail to outlook from workflow by giving the email address in the step mail, but it was not working.
i am getting the workitem in the sap inbox so tried setting the automating forward which we can forward from the sap inbox to outlook.
Searched in SDN , but my issue was not solved..
Could you please help me out with this issue to get the mail from workflow to outlook inbox.
Thanks,
Praveena

Hi Praveena,
Please check if the necessary SCOT settings have been made in your system to send mails outside SAP box. Check with your basis team if the SMTP connection between external system (Outlook, Lotus, etc) has been maintained or not.
Then check in t-code SOST if you are getting the mail here when sent from workflow.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Saumya

When I send out mail from MS Outlook enterprise account in the office to my Mac at home they are received as "winmail.dat" files. Even if I perform a "save as" to the correct file name the file format is still not recognized. Why is this happening!?

Sending Mail from workflow or updating container elements

Dear friends,
I'm new to work flow.
My requirement: send mail from workflow to a user after dead line is missed I do not want to use messages in 'Latest end' tab. I want to send mail.
The mail id of the user is determined in the previous step using a FM. How do I use this mail id to send the mail. I thought of using 'Rule' option in 'Send Mail' (and use same FM)but thats not possible. In that case how do I pass the mail id value to the WF container from the FM?
I also tried this idea:
created a task with BOR object SELFITEM, method 'SENDTASKDESCRIPTION' .
*in an activity step used this task and filled the 'Rule' option in notification tab appropriately
*in this case the WF goes into an error '.....error executing 'sendtaskdescription' .....'
*i would prefer using the activity step because, the mail has to be sent after a delay
Is there any other simple method to do this?
My problem would be solved even if someone can show me how to transfer values from a FM into a WF container.
Can someone please explain?

I am unable to send e-mails from my Outlook

Everything was working ok, for ages. Suddenly I am unable o send e-mails from my Outlook.
"The message I get is: 'Unable to send the message. Please verify the e-mail Address in your account properties'.
When I 'Send a Test Message' from Outlook, Tools, Accounts. All actions are completed besides sending a test message when I also get the instruction.

Hi
If it happened suddenly so possibly it was a virus?
I dont know why you are not able to send the e-mails.
I think you should check the email account properties. Check the data of you POP3 and SMTP server.
Im not a outlook expert but this options should be found somewhere in the email account properties.
The last possibility would be deleting of the email account under outlook and then a new creation of the new account.

User not able to send the mail from other mail box on outlook 2007

In my outlook(2007), i am using my mail box to send the mail and receiving the mail every thing working fine, now what happened , i am adding one of my users mail box to my outlook profile,and trying to send the mail from that mail box,when ever
i am trying to send its give me the message called message undelivered and permission error. as i am full permission on that users mail box. but still getting that issue.
My lab info
Exchange server 2010 sp3
outlook 2007

HI Paul,
In exchange, you have something called Send as permission as well. Try to give send as permission to your self from the user's mailbox.
In exchange> Reciepient config> Mailboxes> user mailbox> right click> Full Send as permssion
or,
Add-ADPermission -Identity "user1" -User "[email protected]" -ExtendedRights Send-As
After you add your self in send as permission you need to wait for some time to propagate the settings or you can forcefully reset the information store services
That should solve your issue.

Hi,
=> To get the deadline worked via programming, you can write your own logic. In current case,
1. Create a custom function, having proper input and output parameters like End Time to wait if in case you have maximum of 2 days of wait.
The total wait time is calculated from the Endtime, which is input to function module. From the Endtime, the start date and end date are calculated and then the difference between the two dates is counted as total wait time.
Here at the most 2 days of wait time is calculated.
* Local parameters
DATA: LV_UTCSTART TYPE /SDF/CMO_TSTMP,
 LV_UTCEND TYPE /SDF/CMO_TSTMP,
 LV_SECOND TYPE /SDF/CMO_SEC,
 LV_ENDDATE TYPE SY-DATUM,
 LV_STR TYPE STRING.
IF ENDTIME >= SY-UZEIT AND ENDTIME <= '235959'.
* Today's date
 LV_ENDDATE = SY-DATUM.
ELSE.
* Tomorrow's date
 LV_ENDDATE = SY-DATUM + 1.
ENDIF.
* Get the Start Time for function module
CONCATENATE SY-DATUM SY-UZEIT INTO LV_STR.
MOVE LV_STR TO LV_UTCSTART.
CLEAR LV_STR.
* Get the End Time for function module
CONCATENATE LV_ENDDATE ENDTIME INTO LV_STR.
MOVE LV_STR TO LV_UTCEND.
CLEAR LV_STR.
* Get the total wait time in seconds
CALL FUNCTION '/SDF/CMO_TIME_DIFF_GET'
 EXPORTING
 UTC_START = LV_UTCSTART
 UTC_END = LV_UTCEND
 IMPORTING
 SECOND = LV_SECOND
 EXCEPTIONS
 PARAMERR = 1
 OTHERS = 2.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
* Wait for total time
WAIT UP TO LV_SECOND SECONDS.
2. Now, create one method in the BOR object whose event triggers your workflow.
3. Use this method in an activity step in you workflow where you want to wait on some given conditions.
=> You can use the email ID which was given by earlier step in Send Mail step. Just make your email id field as Export/Import AD_SMTPADR type of parameter. In the send mail, use this Id in Email Address input.
Hope this helps your.
PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by marking it Solved and rewarding each reply.

SCOT don't work correctly when I send mail from Workflow

Hi.
I setting from SU01 the mail of users. I send an email from Workflow, I find this mail in SCOT.
But the SCOT don't send the mail to user.
Can I solve it?
Regards
Angela

Hi Angela,
I don't think your problem lies in SAP. You need to check with the exchange guys to see if the e-mail you send is relayed in the exchange server. Depending on your sending address it is possible the exchange server will not send it on. Depending on the place the exchange server is, there is a possibility there still is a firewall which blocks smtp communication.

Martin

How to send formatted mail from form 6i

Hi,
There is requirment in my project to send formatted mail from form 6i.The database used in 9i.In normal form we can send normal mail.However our requirment is such that the mail content should have company logao pics and it should display data in coloured format based on data fetched from database.How can this be done.
l

What method are you using to send email from your form now? If you are using UTL_SMTP, you can set the MIME_TYPE = 'HTML' as Francois suggests. If you are using an OLE call to Outlook or a email JavaBean? The method you use to send email will dictate how you send Rich Text/HTML email messages.

Test sending a mail from peoplesoft

Hi,
FSCM90, Tolls 8.49 on Win 2003.
How can test sending a mail from peoplesoft ?
Thanks.

Did you already configure PeopleSoft application server and process scheduler with smtp settings?
If not, see this blog
Using Gmail as SMTP server for PeopleSoft
After this you should add mail addresses to user profiles.
Workflow will trigger mails in the business processes.
