Setting
up an SMTP target
An SMTP target polls your POP3 mail server (according
to the schedule you specify) to look for new documents.
The following steps describe what you need to specify for an
SMTP (POP3) target.
- Click Hub Admin > Hub Configuration > Targets to
display the Targets List page.
- From the Target List page, click Create Target.
Target Details
In the Target Details section, perform
the following steps:
- Type a name for the target. For example, you might call the
target POP3Target1. This is a required field. The name you enter
here will be displayed on the Targets list.
- Optionally indicate the status of the target. Enabled is
the default. A target that is enabled is ready to accept documents.
A target that is disabled cannot accept documents.
- Optionally enter a description of the target.
- Select POP3 from the Transport list.
Target Configuration
In the Target Configuration section
of the page, perform the following steps:
- Optionally indicate the gateway type. The gateway type defines
the nature of the transmission. For example, if you want to test
a document exchange before putting it into production, you would
enter Test. The default is Production.
- Enter the location of the POP3 server where mail is delivered.
For example, you might enter an IP address.
- Optionally enter a port number. If you do not enter anything,
the value of 110 is used.
- Enter the user ID and password required to access the mail server,
if a user ID and password are required.
- Optionally enter a value for Thread Nbr,
to indicate the number of documents the Document Manager can process
simultaneously. The default value of 1 is recommended.
Schedule
In the Schedule section of the page,
perform the following steps:
- Select Interval Based Scheduling or Calendar Based Scheduling.
- Perform one of the sets of steps:
- If you select Interval Based Scheduling,
select the number of seconds that should elapse before the POP3
server is polled again (or accept the default value). If you select
the default value, the POP3 server is polled every 5 seconds.
- If you select Calendar Based Scheduling,
choose the type of scheduling (Daily Schedule, Weekly Schedule,
or Custom Schedule).
- If you select Daily Schedule, select the
time of day (the hours and minutes) when the POP3 server should
be polled.
- If you select Weekly Schedule, select
one or more days of the week in addition to the time of day.
- If you select Custom Schedule, select
the time of day and then choose Range or Selective Days for
the week and the month. With Range, you indicate
the start date and the end date. (For example, you can click Mon and Fri if
you want the server polled at a certain time on weekdays only.) With Selective Days,
you choose the specific days of the week and month.
