CMC - Scheduling failure when using [%SI_EMAIL_ADDRESS%] placeholder

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

When I am scheduling a Webi report as a PDF through CMC, I am getting following error.

address error. [Error sending address(es) to SMTP server. Return code: [SMTP 501 - Syntax error in parameters or arguments.]. Reason: [%SI_EMAIL_ADDRESS%].]: [CrystalEnterprise.Smtp]

I am guessing this error is cuase by place holder  [%SI_EMAIL_ADDRESS%]  when i use it at from option in destination.  If I hardcode my email address in place of place holder, scheduling works fine.

This error only occurs in my production system, development system works fine.

I am using - SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 4

did anyone else has faced similer issue? how do I resolve it?

thanks,

Dar

Hi,

In the Job Serve ->Destination have you updated the From Mail ID?

If not then mention there and use [%SI_EMAIL_ADDRESS%]  in the report scheduling.

Amit,

No, I haven't maintained from mail ID but It's not maintained in development system either but it still works and I don't get any error in DEV. However, tyring your solution does work but it will be interesting to see why it does not work when from email id is not maintained.

I would suggest you to run the Platform support tool against both the environment,collect and compare the Server metrics for your Job Servers End to End.
