E-mail administration

View the steps perform before your runtime server can send personalized e-mail.

Before your run-time server can send personalized e-mail:

• Verify that the pznscheduler.ear has been installed as an Enterprise Application.

• Have a properly configured and operating SMTP e-mail server.

  JavaMail provides the SMTP required to send e-mail. You can manage e-mail responses from customers and outgoing error conditions (such as unknown e-mail address) using a standard e-mail client.

• Configure a Mail Provider using the administrative console.

  1. Depending on your version of WAS, click the appropriate option:

     • For WAS v6.1:

       Click Resources > Mail Providers

     • For WAS v7:

       Click Resources > Mail > Mail Providers

  2. Create a mail session to use with Personalization.

     By default, Personalization looks for a mail session in mail/personalizationMailSession/jndi.

     The JNDI name used is configurable in the PersonalizationService.properties file if you want to use Personalization with an existing mail session you have configured. If you are creating a new mail session, specify a Mail Transport Host. This is the mail server Personalization uses to send e-mail. If your mail server is secured, specify a Mail Transport User ID and Mail Transport Password.

  3. Restart the server on which the e-mail rules execute for the changes to take effect.

• Additional configuration is available through the PersonalizationService.properties file. Using this file, you configure how often Personalization checks for rule events that run scheduled or repeating e-mails. You can also configure the mail session being used.
