This appendix provides server and debug level parameter definitions for the Oracle Mail servers, in addition to log file locations.
The Oracle Mail servers can be accessed through the Application Server Control Console for Collaboration Suite.
See Also:
Chapter 1, "Introduction to Oracle Mail Administration" for information on accessing the Application Server Control Console for Collaboration SuiteThe parameters listed in this section can be displayed by clicking either the instance in the Instance column on a particular server home page, or the Default Settings link in the Target section on the same page.
In most cases, set parameters at the target level on the Default Settings page. Because the use of multiple server instances, each configured in different ways, can be confusing to manage (and separate instances configured differently can directly contradict each other), managing server parameter settings at the target level maintains one source of truth for the various server instances.
In the case of the Housekeeper and SMTP Outbound servers, however, managing server instance parameters at the instance level is required when using multiple instances of these servers.
See Also:
"Housekeeper Server" for more information about multiple instances of the Housekeeper server
"Enabling Message Archiving" for more information about creating an additional instance of the SMTP Outbound server
Clicking the instance displays the settings for that particular process instance of the server. Clicking Default Settings displays the default values for the settings. The default settings apply to any newly created server process instance and can be changed, as necessary, by the administrator. After editing the default settings, click Apply to apply the changes or Revert to reset the default settings to the factory defaults.
Table F-1 and Table F-2 list LDAP connection pool and LDAP connection retry parameters, respectively, that are common to all servers except for Housekeeper and Virus Scrubber.
