2.2.4 Cautionary notes on the mail system linkage function
This subsection gives some cautionary notes on the mail system linkage function.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Backing up and restoring profiles
You can back up and restore profiles even while the JP1/AJS3 service is running. However, if you attempt to back up or restore a profile while an email sending job or the jpomailprof command is being executed, the backup or restoration process might end with an error, or the email sending job or jpomailprof command might terminate abnormally.
In a cluster environment, make sure that the shared disk is accessible while you back up or restore profiles.
After restoring a profile, set the folder and file permissions as necessary.
For details on backup and recovery in a JP1/AJS3 system, see 2. Backup and Recovery in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Administration Guide. For details on setting permissions, see 2.2.2(3) Setting profile permissions.
(2) Action to take after changing the environment for mail system linkage
The following describes the action to take when changes are made to the environment in which mail system linkage is operating.
-
If the name of the SMTP server is changed:
Change the SMTP server name in the profile.
-
If the IP address of the SMTP server is changed:
Change the IP address specified for the SMTP server name in the profile. This step is not necessary if you specified the SMTP server name in the -s option of the jpomailprof command.
-
If the name of the POP3 server is changed:
Change the POP3 server name in the profile.
-
If the IP address of the POP3 server is changed:
Change the IP address specified for the POP3 server name in the profile. This step is not necessary if you specified the POP3 server name in the -r option of the jpomailprof command.
-
If the value of the WaitInfFileOutDir parameter in the definition key [{JP1_DEFAULT|logical-host-name}\JP1AOMAGENT] is changed:
Create the profile again.
(3) Action to take after changing how emails are sent
If you change an email sending job that does not use Outlook into a job that uses Outlook, perform the setup needed for the job to send email using Outlook. If you give the new profile the same name as the profile the job had been using, you can do so without changing the job definition.
For details on the setup needed to send emails using Outlook, see 2.3 Setup for linking mail systems (for a Windows host when using Outlook).
