Configure Delivery Options

You can define the SSL certicate file and set the general properties for e-mail deliveries and notifications.

  1. From the Administration page, select Delivery Configuration.
  2. If you want to use a self-signed certificate, select a file from SSL Certificate File.
  3. Enter the From address to appear on e-mail report deliveries. The default value is bipublisher-report@oracle.com.
  4. Enter the From address to appear on notifications deliveries. The default value is bipublisher-notification@oracle.com.
  5. Enter the subject text for notification e-mails when the report status is Success, Warning, Failed, or Skipped.
  6. In the Allowed Email Recipient Domains field, enter the domains you want to allow email delivery. Separate the email domains by a comma. By default, * allows all domains.
    Note that if you want to ignore email delivery restrictions for a report delivery, select the Ignore Email domain Restrictions property of that report.
  7. Select Email Output as URL, if you want the jobs to email the URL to access the job output instead of attaching the job output to the email.
    The email recipient can view the job output only after logging in with the valid credentials required to access the Publisher report. The recipient must have access to Publisher. If the output of a private job is sent to a user without administrator access, the job succeeds and the recipient receives the email with the URL, but the recipient can't view the job output.
  8. Select Use System Proxy Settings if the Delivery Manager must look up the proxy server settings from the Java runtime environment.
    • Printer, Fax, WebDAV, HTTP and CUPS servers use proxy settings for HTTP protocol when SSL is not used. When SSL is used, the HTTPS proxy setting is used.

    • FTP and SFTP use proxy settings for FTP.

    • Contents servers and email servers don't support connection over a proxy, regardless of this setting.

    You can override the proxy settings per delivery server, using proxy configuration fields on the individual server setup page. If a proxy server and ports are configured for a delivery server, the Delivery Manager uses the proxy server and port configured for the server instead of the one defined in the Java Runtime environment. In Cloud installations, Use System Proxy Settings is always selected, and cannot be turned off or overridden by individual server settings.

If Publisher encounters an issue connecting to the email server, it attempts to send the email again for three times, with a 30-second interval between each attempt.
