How configure oracle enterprise manager mail server

Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM) uses a mail server to send notifications and alerts to users. Here's a step-by-step guide to configure the mail server in Oracle Enterprise Manager:

Prerequisites:

  1. Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c or later
  2. 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

  1. Identify the mail server you want to use and ensure it is properly configured.
  2. 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

  1. Log in to Oracle Enterprise Manager as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Go to the "Setup" tab and click on "Mail Server" under the "System" section.
  3. Click on the "Edit" button next to "Mail Server" to configure the mail server settings.
  4. Enter the following information:
    • Mail Server: Enter the name of your mail server (e.g., mail.example.com).
    • Mail Server Port: Enter the port number used by your mail server (e.g., 25 for SMTP).
    • Mail Server Username: Enter the username used to authenticate with your mail server (e.g., oracle).
    • Mail Server Password: Enter the password used to authenticate with your mail server (e.g., welcome1).
  5. Click "Apply" to save the changes.

Step 3: Test the Mail Server Configuration

  1. Go to the "Setup" tab and click on "Mail Server" under the "System" section.
  2. Click on the "Test" button next to "Mail Server" to test the configuration.
  3. If the test is successful, you should receive a confirmation email from the mail server.
