Updating the JDE.ini file on the Workstation and the Enterprise Server
On the workstation and enterprise server, you must make changes to the JDEMAIL section of the JDE.ini file so that JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can communicate with the mail server. On the workstation, you must make these changes directly to the JDE.ini file. On the enterprise server, you can make these changes directly to the JDE.ini file, or make the changes using Server Manager.
The parameters in the JDEMAIL section of the JDE.ini file are designated as Rules 1 through 7, which are explained below:
Rule1=90|OPT|MAILSERVER=smtp_server_name
The MAILSERVER setting identifies the name of the SMTP server responsible for sending messages. This setting must be equal to the name of the machine on which the SMTP service is running. This server name is the same as it is listed in the TCP/IP host file on the server.
Rule2=100|DEFAULT|OWMON=address@your_company.com
When the Send Message or Send Message Extended system function is initiated, the OWMON parameter is used to determine the From address for the mail message. Set this parameter to an appropriate mail address for your company.
Rule3=110|DEFAULT|PSFT_SYSTEM=address@your_company.com
When the Send Message or Send Message Extended system function is initiated within application or business function event rules, the PSFT_SYSTEM parameter is used to determine the From address for the mail message. Set this parameter to an appropriate mail address for your company.
Rule4=120|DEFAULT|JDE_SYSTEM=address@your_company.com
Rule5=130|DEFAULT|JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow_SYSTEM=address@your_company.com
When the Send Message or Send Message Extended system function is initiated from an activity in a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow_SYSTEM parameter is used to determine the From address for the mail message. Set this parameter to an appropriate mail address as the originator of a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow message for your company.
Rule6=140|OPT|MERGELOCAL=1
For current installations, the MERGELOCAL parameter setting should be equal to 1.
Rule7=150|OPT|UPDATELOCAL=0
For current installations, the UPDATELOCAL parameter setting should be equal to 0.
These instructions explain how to change the workstation and enterprise server JDE.ini files to communicate with the mail server.
To update the jde.ini file on the workstation:
Locate the [JDEMAIL] section of the jde.ini file.
Set the Rule1 value setting to Rule1=90|OPT|MAILSERVER=<your SMTP server name>
Set the Rule2, Rule3, and Rule4 value settings to the name of the customer site.
Note: You will change the domain name from oracle.com to the customer site web address.Save and close the jde.ini file.
To update the jde.ini file on the enterprise server using Server Manager:
Each field on the Server Manager screen represents a rule in the jde.ini file. For example, the Mail Server Rule field in Server Manager is the same as the Rule1 field in the jde.ini file. The SAW E-Mail Sender field is the same as Rule2. The Sender E-Mail field is Rule3 and so forth.
Access Server Manager by entering its URL in Windows Explorer.
In the Configuration section, click the Workflow menu.
