2. Enter the following properties:

   • SSL Certificate File — If SSL is enabled for your installation, then you can leave this field empty if you want to use the default certificates built-in with BI Publisher. SSL works with the default certificate if the server uses the certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority such as Verisign. This field is mandatory only if the user uses the SSL with a self-signed certificate. The self-signed certificate means the certificate is signed by a non-trusted certificate authority (usually the user).

   • E-mail From Address — Enter the From address to appear on e-mail report deliveries from the BI Publisher server. The default value is [e-mail].

   • Delivery Notification E-mail From Address — Enter the From address to appear on notifications delivered from the BI Publisher server. The default value is [e-mail].

   • Success Notification Subject — Enter the subject line to display for e-mail notification recipients when the report status is Success.

   • Warning Notification Subject — Enter the subject line to display for e-mail notification recipients when the report status is Warning.

   • Failure Notification Subject — Enter the subject line to display for e-mail notification recipients when the report status is Failed.

   • Skipped Notification Subject — Enter the subject line to display for e-mail notification recipients when the report status is Skipped.

   • Use System Proxy Settings - When selected, the Delivery Manager looks up the proxy server settings from the Java runtime environment.

     Note the following:

     • Printer, Fax, WebDAV, HTTP and CUPS servers use proxy settings for http protocol when SSL is not used. When SSL is used, the and https proxy setting is used.

     • FTP and SFTP use proxy settings for FTP.

     • Contents servers and email servers do not 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, this check box is always selected, and cannot be turned off or overridden by individual server settings.
