You can e-mail information directly from Administration Services Console to other administrators or to Oracle Technical Support.
When you send an e-mail from the console, the e-mail message contains an XML or HTML attachment that can be opened in a browser. XML files can be viewed only in Internet Explorer 5.x or higher. E-mails that contain Essbase Server, application, or database properties require Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. You can also send a personal comment to include in the body of the message.
When you send an e-mail, Essbase sends the message as a background process. An ID for the process is displayed in the Messages pane. You can use the ID to track the status of the e-mail process in the Background Process Status window. E-mail messages are encoded in UTF-8.
To e-mail Essbase information from the console:
Open a window or dialog box.
Select File, then Send to.
In the Send E-mail dialog box, specify receivers, a subject line, and a comment (optional) to include in the e-mail.
Click Send.
If you receive an error about an SMTP server not being found, specify a valid SMTP server and send the e-mail again.
Select Tools, then View background processes to open the Background Process Status window, where you can verify that the e-mail was sent successfully.
If you want to view the results of an e-mail that was sent, select the appropriate row and click View.
