Defining the Web Address and Automatic E-Mail Dispatch for Rooms

Context

To make rooms accessible through their Web address, you must specify the properties of the server used as the backend system in the settings for rooms. In addition, you can decide whether the system is allowed to send automatic e-mail notifications to room members and you can also limit the maximum number of users that can be invited to a room.

These settings are required after installation of the SAP NetWeaver usage type Enterprise Portal as well as in routine operations in the event of changes to your system landscape.

Procedure

In the portal, choose Content Administration Collaboration Content (Related Links) Configure Room Backend Room Backend Properties.
Launch the roombackend configuration object for editing.
Optional: To suppress automatic sending of e-mails to room members, set the Automatically Send Mails property to No .

Note

The default setting is Yes . You can choose Not set to ensure compatibility with rooms from earlier releases, for which you could not configure automatic sending of e-mails.

Enter the components of the Web address for rooms.
