• Find out Email to SMS for your phone number - It will be look like yourcellphonenumber@yourserviceprovider.com (Ex. 0000000000@serviceprovider.com)

 

Steps:

 

1. Create VB script (Alert.vbs) and place it in a location that can be accessed by SUM

Set objMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

Set objConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

Set objFlds = objConf.Fields

objFlds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 'cdoSendUsingPort

objFlds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "Your SMTP Server" 'your smtp server domain or IP address goes here

objFlds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25 'default port for email

'uncomment next three lines if you need to use SMTP Authorization

'objFlds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "your-username"

'objFlds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "your-password"

'objFlds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1 'cdoBasic

objFlds.Update

objMail.Configuration = objConf

objMail.From = "email From "

objMail.To = "exampleemail@servername.com, examplephone@servername.com"

objMail.Subject = "SUM is Waiting for User Input"

objMail.TextBody = "Please Check SUM"

objMail.Send

Set objFlds = Nothing

Set objConf = Nothing

Set objMail = Nothing

 

Note: Save this file with file extension .VBS

 

2. Create the BAT (SendAlert.bat) file and place it in a location that can be accessed by SUM

X:\usr\sap\SID\SUM\SUMalertscript\Alert.vbs
