Testing the Installation

Testing the Installation

Use

Before you put the SAP Internet Mail Gateway into operation, you should test whether or not the installation was successful.

Prerequisite

You have installed the SAP Internet Mail Gateway and the mailing program and adapted them to your network structure.

Procedure

Information on creating, processing and sending documents in the SAPoffice working environment is available in the BC - SAPoffice documentation .

Outgoing Internet messages

Test connection R/3®Gateway

Next check whether program Mlunxsnd was accessed by the R/3 System, that is to say, that the connection via the RFC destination works. Note that program Mlunxsnd must be started and registered for the activation type Registration . Proceed as follows:

Choose Test link in the RFC destination display for program Mlunxsnd.

If errors occur, you should check the following settings:

Is the RFC destination correctly created to Mlunxsnd?

Is Mlunxsnd running, and is it registered to an SAP Gateway of the R/3 System?

Test connection Gateway®Mailing

In order to check whether program Mlunxsnd transfers the correct parameter and that the program forwards the messages to the mailing program, proceed as follows:

Set the Trace for outgoing messages to level 1. Send a message from the R/3 System via the Internet, for example to an Internet address on your Internet Mail Gateway server.

If errors occur, you should check the following settings:

Is the environment variable GWCONFIG correctly defined?

Is the command to call the mailing system correctly specified in the configuration profile?

Is the R/3 user sender address maintained in address management?

Has a SAPconnect send process run?

Incoming Internet Messages

Set the Trace for incoming messages to level 1. Then send a message to the Internet address of an R/3 user.

When a trace is written, it shows that the mailing program has successfully started the SAP mailer Mlsomail. Check with the help of the Trace file whether Mlsomail contains the following parameters: Path and name of the configuration profile and the recipient address.

If program Mlsomail has not been started, you should check the mailing program configuration file.

If the connection to the R/3 System cannot be made, you should check the SAP Internet Mail Gateway configuration profile.
