SAPconnect Administration (Transaction SCOT)

SAPconnect Administration (Transaction SCOT)

You have to configure SAPconnect settings for every client that is used for send processes.

· Default Domain

Under Settings ® Default Domain, define the domain of the SAP system client. This allows for the following to take place:

· The SMTP plug-in logs on to the mail server using the domain as ID.

· The message ID of the outbound e-mails is assembled with this domain.

· If an SAP user who does not have an Internet mail address sends an e-mail, a sender address consisting of the SAP user name and this domain is generated.

· Nodes

Each client has an SMTP node. This node is created by the SAP system and cannot be deleted. The following steps need to be carried out to configure the node so that sending Internet mail is possible:

i. Make sure you are in the Node view.

ii. Double-click the node name.

iii. Choose Node in use.

iv. In the Mail Host and Mail Port fields, specify the mail server to which the outbound mails are to be sent.

v. Next to Internet, choose Settings.

vi. Enter the address area of the recipient addresses that are to be reached using this node. In general, * is used if all e-mails are to be sent using SMTP.

vii. Enter the output format for SAP documents. We recommend that you use the following settings:

SAPscript/Smart Forms	PDF
ABAP list	HTM
Business Object / Link	HTM
RAW Text	TXT

viii. Confirm your selection.

If you also want to configure the node for sending faxes:

i. Next to Fax, choose Settings.

ii. Enter the address area of the recipient addresses that are to be reached using this node. In general, * is used if all faxes are to be sent using SMTP.

iii. Enter the output format for SAP documents. We recommend that you use the following settings:

SAPscript/Smart Forms	PDF
ABAP list	PDF
Business Object / Link	TXT
RAW Text	TXT

iv. Enter the domain of the fax server or fax provider under Conversion into Internet Address. The system generates the local part of the Internet address automatically. The address therefore takes this format: FAX=+RecipientNumber@Domain.

v. Confirm your selection.

If you also want to configure the node for sending text messages (pager/SMS):

i. Next to Pager (SMS), choose Settings.

ii. Enter the address area of the recipient addresses that are to be reached using this node. In general, * is used if all text messages (pager/SMS) are to be sent using SMTP.

iii. Enter the domain of the text message (pager/SMS) server or provider under Conversion into Internet Address. The system generates the local part of the Internet address automatically. The address therefore takes this format: SMS=+RecipientNumber@Domain.

iv. Confirm your selection.

· Send Job

E-mails sent from an SAP application are first stored in a queue. A periodical background process, the SAPconnect send job, gets the e-mails from this queue and sends them over the Internet. To schedule this job in SAPconnect: Administration, proceed as follows:

i. Choose View ® Jobs.

ii. If no other job has been scheduled, choose Job ® Create.

iii. Enter a job name and confirm it.

iv. Select the variant SAP&CONNECTALL by positioning the cursor on it.

v. Choose Schedule Job.

vi. Choose Schedule periodically.

vii. Select the interval you require, such as 10 minutes.

viii. Choose Create.

· Inbound

If you want incoming e-mails that have a particular address or particular content to automatically start a program that processes these mails, you can configure this under Settings ® Inbound Processing.

If you want incoming e-mails that have a particular address or come from a particular sender to be automatically forwarded to another recipient or another distribution list, you can configure this under Settings ® Inbound Processing.
