Configuration Profile 
Configuration Profile
Use
The SAP Internet Mail Gateway configuration profile contains the logon data of the R/3 System and the call parameters of the mailing program. Programs Mlsomail and Mlunxsnd read the required information from the configuration profile in order to set up the RFC connection to the R/3 System and to call up the sendmail program.
You create the configuration profile using the programm Mlsomadm. It is then stored in coded form. You also make changes to the profile (for example, the configuration of the trace) using the program Mlsomadm.
Prerequisites
You can choose the storage location and file name of the configuration profile. The path and name must be made known so that the SAP Internet Mail Gateway finds the file.
The file name is copied to the programs Mlsomadm and Mlsomail as the first call parameter. The program Mlunxsnd searches for the configuration profile. It proceeds in the following order:
Process Flow |
Result |
|
The file specified is used as the configuration profile. |
|
Mailgw.ini is used as the configuration file. |
|
Mailgw.ini is used as the configuration file. |
It is recommended that you store the configuration profile under the name Mailgw.ini in the profile directory of the SAP System (/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/mailgw.ini). You do not then need to set the environment variable GWCONFIG.
Features
The configuration profile must contain the information that is required for the link in the case of incoming and outgoing messages.
