SCOT Configuration Help

[#1]

Dear Experts,

I am trying to configure sendng mails from SAP and for that have configured SCOT with server IP and port 25 in SMTP under INT (via Internet). Also, the communication methos of INT is sapconnect and have created the virtual host in SICF and also maintained the parameter icm/server_port_1. Also, scheduled the job sapconnect to run for every 10 minutes ans maintained the address area.

Now, when send a test mail from SBWP to receipient address as internet address, the mail is going out, but not able to receive it. Please let me know if I have missed out anything. Please suggest me.

1) Do we require any RFC to be created from SAP server to Mail server, if yes what type of RFC

2) Is there any ports to be opened like I feel we should enable some option in mail server like to receive mails from SAP server.

3) If I want to test it with personal id of google and yahoo.

Appreciate help in this regard.

NO RFC is required

please check SMTP node (just double click) enter proper exchange server name and port check node in use

> 2) Is there any ports to be opened like I feel we should enable some option in mail server like to receive mails from SAP server.

port 25 need to be opened from sap server to exchange server

> 3) If I want to test it with personal id of google and yahoo.

you need to allow this at exchange server

Hello ,

Did you try the telnet from the host on which your SAP system is running to the SMTP server.

telnet <SMTP Server> 25.

This should be working.

Please ask you SMTP administrator to allow the mails to pass through.The server is probably not accepting the requests.

Hi,

1)Please try a telnet to the SMTP server with port 25 from the server on which your SAP system is running.(telnet <Mail-host> 25.This should connect.

2)check if the following thing is working.

SCOT>utilities>Routing test-->Enter the recepient address and recepient type(eg:-INT).

Then click on ROUTES-->explain

3)Check the status of the meesage you have sent through the transaction SOST.It should be green.If it is red, please check the trace & SMICM trace file for the errors.

Please check the following link for the SCOT configuration steps.

Hi,

Thanks for the immediate response, as you said I have checked the Routing->Testing->Explain and the result is showing green without any errors. I have checked in SOST and there the messages are having status red color with message no 816 and when I checked the long text it tells as below

*************************************************************************************************************

"Message cannot be transferred to node SMTP due to connection error (final)

Message no. XS816

Diagnosis

Due to a technical fault, the system could not set up a connection to the RFC destination Check port and mail server for SMTP nodes. Therefore, the message could not be transferred to node SMTP.

System Response

The system was unable to transfer the message.

Additional information of the node used (in the system language of the node):

Procedure

Check the connection from SAP system to node SMTP. Perhaps the node is not assigned to the correct RFC destination. If so, correct this in Customizing.

Otherwise use RFC destination management to check the RFC connection to destination Check port and mail server for SMTP nodes.

If R/3 is in productive operation, it is advisable to reroute provisionally to another node.

You should therefore notify your system administrator.

Please suggest.
