On the General Database Settings tab, define the following settings:
EMAIL_ACCOUNT
Email account within the company mail system.
Email sender address of Smart Materials (for example, smat-db@ingr.com), needed for all email communication.
LOG_EMAIL_HANDLING
If LOG_EMAIL_HANDLING is set to Y, communication with the mail server is protocoled in a log file for debugging purpose. Errors will be written to the log file anyway. This feature is only available for mails sent to the quote desk.
LOG_FILE_DEST
This setting specifies the log file destination for online jobs.
This setting must point to a directory on the Oracle database server where log files are stored.
When opening files, Smart Materials will check if a directory object exists with the path given in this DBA Setting, which is granted to m_sys. If the path with grant is not found, Smart Materials will try to create a directory object with an internal name M_DIR_<timestamp> to ensure existing directory names are not affected.
You have the option to define this only here on a global basis, or you can also specify this on a per-project basis with the parameter ZX_MAR_LOG on screen A.20.12/13.
If for a specific user environment, the parameter ZX_MAR_LOG is set, then LOG_FILE_DEST from this screen will not be used.
SMTP_CLIENT
This is the alias name or IP address of the SMTP client (that is, the database server) that should be used for login to the SMTP server.
SMTP_HOST
This is the IP address (for example, 123.23.42.2) or alias name of the host (SMTP server) that will deliver outgoing emails.
SMTP_PASS
This setting sets the optional password of the system user account who connects to the SMTP_HOST in order to send emails. If no password is given, the email is sent out without transmitting the user/password. This is possible for SMTP servers that do not require authentication.
If you try to deliver emails without a password to a protected server, you will receive a SecurityException: Access to default session denied error. If the user/password is unknown or incorrect, you will get an AuthenticationFailedException error.
SMTP_PORT
This setting is to set the number of the port to communicate with the SMTP_HOST. In most cases it is 25.
SMTP_USER
This is the system user account that connects to the SMTP_HOST in order to send emails. Only required if SMTP_PASS is set.
