Parameter maintain for incoming mails in SAP

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Please help on below:-

icm/server_port_3 = PROT=SMTP,PORT=25$$$,EXTBIND=1

is/SMTP/virt_host_0 = *:*;    (since incoming mails are to be received in single client)

a) can we put sequence number as 3 & 0 as OR it should be same  for above mentioned parameters

b) For icm/server_port_<*>, Is there any specific format to be followed for port number. If no what should I put 25,25000,25001 or 25$$$

As our outgoing is configured on port 25.

Hi Sumit,

a)

is/SMTP/virt_host_<*> = <host>:<port>,<port>,...;

This parameter defines a virtual mail host for receiving mails.

Here <host> describes the name of the host to which the incoming mails are addressed.

<port> describes the number of the port to which the incoming mails are addressed.

Note:

1- This parameter is not required If one single client of the SAP system is receiving and processing all

incoming mails).

2-Default value for this parameter is/SMTP/virt_host_0 = *:*;

3-In case of multiple clients, a virtual host has to be created for each of these clients.

In my example I have used *:25000 here * is used because I want the mails to be sent

independently of the host being addressed and 25000 is the value of PORT.

b)

icm/server_port_<*> = PROT=SMTP,PORT=<port>

(this parameter opens a TCP/IP port for receiving mails through SMTP)

here <*> stands for the sequence number (starting from zero)of

frequently occurring parameters.

<port> the number of the port that is to be used ( can’t yet be used by another program on this

host.)

In my case here value of * (sequence number) is 2 and PORT = 25000

Hello Atul,

Thanks for your reply.  My query is still unanswered

1) Can we put sequence number as 3 & 0 as OR it should be same  for parametres:-

For instance

icm/server_port_3 = PROT=SMTP,PORT=25$$$,EXTBIND=1

is/SMTP/virt_host_0 = *:*;   

OR

icm/server_port_3 = PROT=SMTP,PORT=25$$$,EXTBIND=1

is/SMTP/virt_host_3 = *:*;    (since incoming mails are to be received in single client)

2) So, we have port 25 configured for mails, so icm/server_port_<*> = PROT=SMTP,PORT=25.

   Means No specific format is followed.

Thanks

Hi,

For instance

icm/server_port_3 = PROT=SMTP,PORT=25$$$,EXTBIND=1

is/SMTP/virt_host_0 = *:*;  (Dont need to maintain this parameters as you have one receving client as mentioned in my earlier blog.)

2) So, we have port 25 configured for mails, so icm/server_port_<*> = PROT=SMTP,PORT=25.

   Means No specific format is followed.

I dont think this port will come as 25 as most of the mail server will have port 25 for outbound sap mails. So for inbound you have to user port 25000or 250XX like .

Hi ,

To configure SAP AS for receiving mail:

• Instance profile settings

icm/server_port_1 PROT=SMTP,PORT=<port>,TIMEOUT=180

where <port> is set according to system/client:

Since emails are only required to be received by an single client within each system/instance, there is no need to define the instance parameter…

is/SMTP/virt_host<*> = <host>:<port>,<port>…

• Create system user in target client

Create an system user in target ECC client to be used to process inbound emails.

Userid	Client	Profile
UserA		S_A.SCON

• Client assignment in SMTP server

Transaction SICF – create activate SMTP server

Maintain Host Data tab:

Maintain Logon Data tab for target client/user:

Maintain Handler List tab…

• With the above configuration, emails can now be received into ECC/client.

  Inbound emails can be seen via txn SOIN.

Thanks
