Configuration Items in the iProcess Email Plug-in Configuration Menu

Item

Description

SMTP Host

The IP address or the name of the machine hosting your SMTP server.

SMTP Port Number

The port number of the SMTP server.

Mail from Address

The email address that you want to send iProcess Email messages from.

BACKUP SMTP Host

(BACKUP SMTP Host 1, 2, 3)

For each backup server in turn, you can specify the machine name or the IP address of the machine hosting the backup SMTP server. There can be as many backup host entries as there are SMTP servers available for failover.

BACKUP SMTP Port

(BACKUP SMTP Port 1, 2, 3)

The port number on which the preceding backup host is running. There must be one backup port entry for each backup host server.

Retry Counts

Specify how many times the plug-in should use a backup server before retrying the primary host. Enter a non-zero numeric value. The default is 3.

Note:

– If a negative value is entered, it is interpreted as 50.

– If zero or a non-numeric value is entered, the configuration of backup servers has no effect and the plug-in reverts to the primary host.

If a successful connection is made on retrying the primary host, the plug-in reverts to using that host. If not, the plug-in continues with the backup server that is currently in use.

Edit the configuration items if needed and then enter C. The next menu in the following list is displayed:

— (For DB2 Only) the DB2 Database Connection and Account Details Menu.
