SYMPTOMS

Using the Delivery Options feature available in R12.1.3 version, the output of the concurrent request is not being deliveredvia email.

The concurrent program delivery options are not working through Delivery Opts for Email Notification.

When a request is submitted and the Delivery Opts button is selected for sending an Email Notification, there is neither anerror (in the FNDCPOPP log or REQUEST log files) nor is the email sent.



The ICM log file was showing the following errors.

After the request completed normally, the email notification sending part was failing as the TNS ping failed.

CAUSE

The cause was found to be that the following profile options need to be set in order to enable the feature.'FND:SMTP Host' and 'FND:SMTP Port'

SOLUTION

1. The errors occurring in the ICM log file related to TNS ping needs to be corrected.

- Perform the solution steps as per Note 1312632.1

2. Set the profile options "FND:SMTP Host" and "FND:SMTP Port" by providing the right values as per Note 1240768.1

https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=1312632.1




2. Set the profile options "FND:SMTP Host" and "FND:SMTP Port" by providing the right values as per Note 1240768.1shown below---------------------------------------------------------------a. Log into System Administrator responsibility.b. Navigate to Profile - System.c. Query up the %SMTP% profiles.d. Set the following profile values to the defined host and port:

FND:SMTP HostFND:SMTP Port

ExampleFND:SMTP Host = mail.<server_name>.comFND:SMTP Port = 25

e. Resubmit request and monitor email delivery. ---------------------------------------------------------------

3. Ensure there is a valid email id such as [email protected] given in the FROM field of the delivery options.

4. Check whether you have received the mail in your inbox.

Note:-

1. From, Subject and To fields are mandatory.2. In case you did not receive any mail, there might be a chance that the file-size would be high. For Example, 'Active

Users' output size will be Huge. if the email server has limitation on the file size then it rejects the email.3. Ensure you provide a valid email-id in "from" field. In case if the from email-id is wrong and there are some issue

while delivering the email, then the report from email server will not reach you. To change the email id, Use thebelow Navigation.

Login as 'System Administrator' responsibility > Security > User > Query theuser




Important:-____________ It was found for one of the customers instance with email server using CRAM-MD5 authentication mechanism (Note469822.1 to test SMTP connectivity).

CRAM-MD5 is not supported by notification mailer in 12.1.3 (Note 1095146.1).

The only supported authentication mechanisms so far with Workflow Mailer are - PLAIN, LOGIN, and DIGST-MD5 (+ NTLMwith extra patch 9452181).
