Define the SMTP Email Server

Define the server to use for sending recipients alert and executive report. These procedures assume an email server has already been configured at your site.

1. You must have Administrator privileges.

2. Contact your IT administrator to determine the host address and authentication requirements for the email server you want to use for sending STA emails.

3. In the left navigation, expand Setup & Administration and select Email.

4. In the SMTP Server Settings table, highlight StorageTek Tape Analytics Alerts, and then click Edit Selected SMTP Server.

   
   

5. Complete the dialog box as follows:

   • SMTP Host Address—Enter the fully qualified name of the outgoing SMTP server to be used for STA emails. This must be a valid email server. If the email server does not require authentication, you may need to specify localhost for the SMTP Host Address.

   • SMTP Port—Enter the port number for outgoing mail transport.

     Typically, this is port 25, but check with your IT administrator to verify this is the port used at your site.

   • From Name—Enter the name you want to appear in the From line of the emails. Oracle recommends you use text that identifies the STA server.

   • From Email Address—Enter the email address from which STA email is sent. This must be a valid address on the email server. Since recipients cannot reply to this address, you may want to use an address that indicates this, such as [e-mail].

   • Enabled?—Select the check box to enable the email server.

   • Use Secure Connection Protocol—To use a secure connection protocol, select the check box, and then select the protocol by clicking either TLS or SSL.

   • Requires Authentication—This check box is available only if you have selected the Use Secure Connection Protocol check box. If the SMTP server requires authentication, select the check box and then complete the remaining username and password fields.

6. Click Save.
