Configuring the Console when Connected to a Management Server 4-13

Configuring the E-mail Server

To enable administrators to receive e-mail notifications, super administrators must first configure the e-mail server from the Console:

1. From the Console Configuration menu, choose Configure Paging/Email. The Configure Paging/Email dialog appears. By default, the Email Configuration is already selected.

2. Enter the node on which the SMTP mail gateway resides in the SMTP Mail

Gateway field. For example, mailserver.company.com.

3. Enter the name you want to use to identify the sender of the e-mail in the

Sender’s SMTP Mail Address field.

After completing the SMTP mail configuration, notification and schedule

preferences should be specified for all administrators who want to receive e-mail notifications. See the Oracle Enterprise Manager Administrator’s Guide for details.

Starting the Enterprise Manager Paging Server

Enterprise Manager bundles its own Paging Server which enables administrators to receive notifications on events and jobs on their pagers. Both numeric and

alphanumeric pagers are supported; however, alphanumeric pagers must utilize one of the following paging service protocols:

■ TAP (Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol)

■ GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) ■ FLEX-TD (FLEX Time-Diversity Protocol)

Note: If you have both a local and a domain user with the same name, the local user takes precedence. If you have a domain user set up, you must set the domain password to be the same as the local password in order for scheduled jobs to run when they are submitted using the domain user account.

Starting the Enterprise Manager Paging Server

Most paging service providers support the sending of e-mail messages to pagers. If your provider offers the option of sending e-mail; then, you can choose not to install and configure the Enterprise Manager Paging Server.

If you choose not to install our Paging Server, you can specify the e-mail address of your pager as the Receiver’s Email address when you configure your e-mail

notification preferences (Figure 4–4, "Email Preferences") or your paging notification preferences (Figure 4–5, "Paging Preferences").

Figure 4–5 Paging Preferences

If you specify paging through email using the paging preferences, it will be based on your pager notification’s schedule and filters. In Enterprise Manager, you can distinguish the e-mail notification’s schedule and filters from the pager

notification’s schedule and filters. Refer to Figure 4–6, "Email and Paging Filters"

Figure 4–6 Email and Paging Filters

Figure 4–7 Paging Schedule

Administrators can specify an email address or several email addresses separated by a comma for email notifications as well as either a phone number or an email address for paging notifications. This lets administrators specify different schedules, filters, and message formatting for both methods of notification. See the Oracle

Figure 4–8 Paging through Paging Server

The Enterprise Manager Paging Server is automatically installed with the Oracle Management Server on Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP; it is not installable for any UNIX platform.

While you can install the Paging Server only on certain Windows platforms, you can configure the Paging Server from the Enterprise Manager Console on any Windows or UNIX operating system.

Only one Paging Server is necessary for an Enterprise Manager deployment. There are two most common options for deploying the Paging Server.

In the deployment shown in Figure 4–9, "Management Server on Windows NT Machine", the Console is on one machine, and the Management Server is on another

Note: The Enterprise Manager Paging Server requires a modem. Ensure that the machine on which you install the Paging Server has a modem.

Windows NT machine (connecting to repository). The Paging Server and modem are on the same Windows NT machine as the Management Server.

Figure 4–9 Management Server on Windows NT Machine

In the deployment shown Figure 4–10, "Management Server on UNIX Machine", the Console is on one machine and Management Server is on another UNIX machine (connecting to the repository). The Paging Server and modem are on a Windows NT machine.

The installation of the Enterprise Manager Paging Server does not automatically start the Paging Server service nor does it configure it. After installation, you must

specify the modem settings, start the Paging Server service manually, and configure the Paging Server from the Enterprise Manager Console.

To specify the modem settings:

1. From the Start menu, choose Settings > Control Panel.

2. Double-click Modems (Windows NT).

3. Click Dialing Properties in the Modem Properties page to specify how your calls are dialed by setting the following parameters:

■ From what area code you are dialing ■ From what country you are dialing

■ How you access an outside line. If you are not required to dial a number to

access an outside line, leave this field blank.

4. Click OK in the Dialing Properties page.

5. In the Modem Properties page, click Properties to set the Maximum Speed parameter. Click OK. Oracle recommends setting this parameter to 9600K Baud; however, you should find the baud rate setting optimal for your system.

To start the Paging Server:

1. From the Start menu, choose Settings > Control Panel.

2. Double-click Services.

3. Select the Oracle<ORACLE_HOME_NAME>PagingService and click Start. You can also start the paging server by typing the following at a command prompt

oemctl start paging

Note: A baud rate higher than 9600 may result in the loss of data with the paging service carrier. The baud rate of 9600 for your modem is only a recommendation. You must find the baud rate setting which is optimal for your system.
