Configuring E-Mail Connectivity

Prerequisites

You have installed the collaboration capabilities of SAP NetWeaver as part of Enterprise Portal.
● You have access to the System Configuration iView in your portal. By default, this iView is assigned to the System Administration portal role.

Context

To integrate e-mail-functions from your groupware server with the implemented SAP NetWeaver scenarios, you need to configure the e-mail connectivity. The Collaboration groupware framework provides the necessary APIs for integration of different groupware applications, such as Microsoft Exchange Server or Lotus Domino, with SAP NetWeaver. The groupware application can be integrated by implementing the corresponding set of APIs called transports.

Note

The configuration of e-mail connectivity is mandatory for the minimal implementation of Collaboration capabilities. The minimal implementation is recommended for scenarios, which do not require the full implementation of Collaboration capabilities. The minimal implementation comprises the following Collaboration functions:

Send E-Mail
Create Room
Create Task

Caution

With the minimal implementation of Collaboration capabilities the calendar and scheduling functions within rooms are not available.

Within the full implementation of Collaboration capabilities you also need to implement the calendar connectivity. For more information, see Installing and Configuring Calendar Connectivity .

Procedure
