Application Repository and Event Manager Mail Services

The Application Repository and Event Manager can be configured to connect to POP3 and SMTP servers for the following features:

• Event creation via e-mail

  The Web service–based event mechanism exposed by SBM can accept events either through HTTP or via e-mail. Events through HTTP are enabled by default and require no additional configuration beyond the basic installation of SBM. Events through e-mail require that SBM be configured to access a POP3 e-mail mailbox provided by an external e-mail server.

• Application Repository and Event Manager notifications

  By configuring an SMTP server, an e-mail notification can be sent when the Event Manager fails to process an event or when an activity fails in Application Repository.
