The
main component of the Oracle Workflow Notification Mailer is the executable
WFMAIL.
This is a server side program that queries the database for any pending
notifications.
It then dispatches these notifications by calling sendmail for UNIX and the
MAPI APIs for Microsoft Windows NT. The notification mailer also queries the
local inbox for incoming messages. These messages are validated and then passed
to the database for response processing. To configure Workflow Notification
Mailer we have to do OS level setup (Sendmail) and Application level setup.
1.) Sendmail should be installed by default when you install
RedHat Linux. If it is not then you need to install the Sendmail RPM’s with the
Red Hat distribution .
2.) we need to configure a means for the user to retrieve any
emails that are waiting for them on the server. One of the packages that do
this is dovecot, which handles POP and IMAP mailboxes in clear text or with
link encryption (POPS and IMAPS); IMAPS is the preferred mail protocol for MUAs.
3.) There are two kinds of Notification Outbound & Inbound
in Workflow Mailer
For Outbound Notification, CM (Concurrent Manager) node should be able to connect to SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server/relay.
For Inbound Notification (Optional), CM node should be able to connect to IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) Server.
4.) Workflow Notification Mailer in background run as Concurrent Manager (Workflow Mailer Service, Workflow Agent Listener Service)
For Outbound Notification, CM (Concurrent Manager) node should be able to connect to SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server/relay.
For Inbound Notification (Optional), CM node should be able to connect to IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) Server.
4.) Workflow Notification Mailer in background run as Concurrent Manager (Workflow Mailer Service, Workflow Agent Listener Service)
5.)Schedule the Workflow Background process, Notification Mailer
concurrent requests
6.) Select Workflow Manager in OAM
from pull down menu once you login to OAM.
7.) Click Notification Mailer status icon to navigate to the Service Component page for Notification Mailers. Status of Notification Mailers is down.
8.) Select Workflow Notification Mailer Service component under Service Components page. Click edit to access Notification Mailer Configuration wizard.
9.) Enter the name of the SMTP MAIL SERVER information under Outbound Email Account region.
10.) Select the Inbound Processing parameter in Inbound Mail Email Account (IMAP)region to enable inbound email processing. Enter name of the inbound IMAP mail server, the username and passwd of the email account that the Notification Mailer uses to receive email messages,and the reply-to address of the mail account which receive incoming messages to which notification responses should be sent.
6. Confirm the changes by clicking apply. Now check the status of the Workflow Notification Mailer service component is runing on Service components page
