Xdodelivery.cfg for email delivery - R12 Separate Payment Remittance Advice

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to configure the Email Document Delivery for Separate Remittance Advice in R12 but have been unsuccessful so far. I filled the xdodelivery.cfg file with the relevant information and placed it under $XDO_TOP/resource directory and set up the profile option IBY_XDO_DELIVERY_CFG_FILE to point to this directory. I'm getting the below error message in the log file of the standard program "Send Separate Remittance Advices"
Finished extract and formatting.
Got user profile IBY_XDO_DELIVERY_CFG_FILE: /net/ebs/DEV2/ddcerp012/apps/apps_st/appl/xdo/12.0.0/resource

Below is the content of the xdodelivery.cfg that I'm using
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/delivery/config">
<servers>
<server name="mysmtp1" type="smtp_email" default="true">
<host>ddcsend001d-vip.dev.abc.com</host>
     <port>25</port>
</server>
</servers>
<properties>
<property name="ds-temp-dir">/tmp</property>
<property name="ds-buffering">true</property>
<property name="SMTP_CONTENT_TYPE">"application/pdf"</property>
</properties>
</config>
Could anyone please suggest if I'm doing something wrong? Or has anyone been able to accomplish this functionality successfully in R12?
Thanks,
Vinay

Answer 1

Hi Vinay,
You'll have some reassurance in at least that I had the same problem with a R12 upgrade with Separate Remittance Advice. Unfortunately, I was not able to remain on the client site long enough to solve this, although I do have the following to offer, even if its not a solution:
1) The xdodelivery.cfg file for one of our clients where this does work is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/delivery/config">
<servers>
<server name="mysmtp1" type="smtp_email" default="true">
<host>r12p660.<company_name>.co.uk</host>
<port>25</port>
</server>
</servers>
<properties>
<property name="ds-temp-dir">/usr/tmp/PROD</property>
<property name="ds-buffering">true</property>
<property name="SMTP_CONTENT_TYPE:String">"application/pdf"</property>
</properties>
</config>
2) I note in the error the the SMTP sever is null. In my example setup the local host (e.g KWDMXV41). The XML file may be in $INST_TOP/appl/admin and will be called <ORACLE_SID>_KWDMXV41.xml
3) You have the following error in the stack: "oracle.apps.xdo.delivery.MissingRequiredPropertyException: Required property missing. Property name :HOST". This may imply that either the host is not defined in some profile option or the host is not being recognised by the program. Is this a multi-tier system, is there an entry in the /etc/hosts file?
I hope that may be so some help.
Thanks,
Mark
