    • Article Type: General
    • Product: ARC
    • Product Version: ARC 4

    Problem Symptoms:
    Schedules do not work, Scheduled reports on Waiting mode, Mails are not sent

    Cause:
    Missing Mail server definition on ARC

    Resolution:
    For configuring an Email-Account in ARC please refer to the:


    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledg...eraccount.html

    The configuration client can be started in ./cognos/bin/crconfig.sh.

     

    Alternatively, define the smtpMailServer in file /exlibris/crn/arc4_1/c10/configuration/cogstartup.xml :

     

    Change the "hostname:25" to "localhost:25"

     

    <crn:parameter name="smtpMailServer">
    <crn:value xsi:type="cfg:hostPort">localhost:25</crn:value>
    </crn:parameter>
     



    Please check also, whether your outgoing mailserver allows sending of anonymous emails or whether it requires a user or password. If it requires a user/password it will need also to be defined in the configuration as SMTP Account in the Cognos configuration, as described above.
