Setting up Email Alerts in SUM Tool in UNIX (Solaris)
Pre-requisites:
- Find out the SMTP server name and port (you can find it from TCODE SCOT in a SAP ABAP system)
Steps:
1. Create the script and place it in a location that can be accessed by SUM tool
> 1068 $ cat email_pq3.sh
#!/bin/bash
SUBJECT="SUM tool need input for PQ3"
smtp=<smtp_server_name>:<smtp_port>
EMAIL=<your_email_address>
echo "SUM tool need input" | mailx -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL"
2. Test the script
- verify the script can run without errors
- ensure you receive the email when you execute the script
3. Configuration in SUM tool (screen shot attached)
3.1. Launch SUM tool
3.2. select SUM tool ==> Select Alert ==> Alert Info
3.3. For "Program" select the script that you created
3.4. Leave "Alert File" default value
3.5. Set "Alert Delay" (default 600s=10min, I usually set it to 120s)
3.6. Test the alert mechanism works by clicking the "Test" button
- clicking the test button will call the script you prepared in step 1
- so this should trigger an email alert
3.7. Ensure the "Set Active" checkbox is checked
3.8. Press OK
