Configure the SMTP server

Define the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server that the Process Server runtime environment should use to send email notifications. After a new installation, you must manually configure the SMTP server to enable mail notifications.

Ensure the 100Custom.xml exists in the directory PROFILE_HOME\config\cells\ cell_name\nodes\ node_name\servers\ server_name\process-server\config.

If not, create the file. See Manage IBM BPM configuration settings with the 100Custom.xml file.

This topic provides the steps that are necessary to change the SMTP server settings to point to the right SMTP server. The default SMTP server settings are:

<server merge="mergeChildren">    	    	
								
        <!-- email properties -->
        <email>
            <!-- SMTP server that mail should be sent to -->
            <smtp-server>smtp.yourcompany.com</smtp-server>
            
        </email>

Procedure

1. Stop the server or servers.

   • For a ND environment:

     • Process Server and Process Center clusters:

        DMGR-profile-root\config\cells\ cell-name\clusters\ ClusterName\process-center\config\100Custom.xml

     • Process Server and Process Center cluster members:

        DMGR-profile-root\config\cells\ cell-name\nodes\ node-name\servers\ serverName\process-center\config\100Custom.xml

   • For a standalone environment:

      profile-root\config\cells\ cell-name\nodes\ node-name\servers\ serverName\process-center\config\100Custom.xml

2. Add the following to the 100Custom.xml file:

   <properties>
   		<server merge="mergeChildren">    	    	
   
   			<!-- email properties -->
   			<email merge="mergeChildren">
   				<!-- SMTP server that mail should be sent to -->
   				<smtp-server merge="replace"> SMTP.YOURCOMPANY.COM</smtp-server>
   			</email>
   		 </server>
   	</properties>

   Where SMTP.YOURCOMPANY.COM is the name of the actual SMTP server.
3. Save your changes and restart the server(s).
