- A mail server (e.g., Oracle Internet Directory, Microsoft Exchange, or a third-party mail server like Sendmail or Postfix)
Step 1: Configure the Mail Server
- Identify the mail server you want to use and ensure it is properly configured.
- If you're using Oracle Internet Directory, you can use the
oidctl
command to configure the mail server. For example:oidctl config mailserver -set mailserver <mail_server_name>
Replace
<mail_server_name>
with the name of your mail server.
Step 2: Configure Oracle Enterprise Manager

- Go to the "Setup" tab and click on "Mail Server" under the "System" section.
- Click on the "Edit" button next to "Mail Server" to configure the mail server settings.
- Enter the following information:

Additional Tips:
- Make sure the mail server is properly configured and functioning correctly before configuring Oracle Enterprise Manager.
- If you're using a third-party mail server, you may need to configure additional settings, such as authentication mechanisms or encryption.
- You can also configure Oracle Enterprise Manager to use a different mail server for specific targets or services. To do this, go to the "Targets" tab, select the target, and click on the "Edit" button next to "Mail Server".
