Software Update Manager 1.0 SP19 MailNotifier for ABAP

Hello Friends,

As you know there is no option available on SUM tool directly to send email notification of process waiting for your input.

SAP developed tool call “MailNotifier” which is very useful to notify SUM is for waiting for user input.

Please follow below to configure Mail Notification.

Navigate to: <X>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SUM\abap\mailNotifier

Note: This is your SUM extract directory

Open and modify “MailNotificationApp.props” file

Section : Mail Notifier Default Properties

sum.host    = Host_Name
sum.port    = 1128
sum.user    = <sid>adm 
sum.pwd     = PASSWORD
sum.sid     = <SID>
sum.type    = sumabap
sum.ssl     =  false

Note:

port is default 1129 but I have is shown as 1128 because sum process running through HTTP and NOT HTTPS
ssl = false because I am running sum as HTTP

As per SAP guide do not provide password on this props file and you can run command as shown below and it will automatically ask for password

Section : Mail related properties

mail.host = SMTP_HOST_NAME
mail.port = SMTP_PORT
mail.user = USER_NAME
mail.pwd  = PASSWORD
mail.from = FROM_email_Address
mail.to   = To_email1,To_email2

Section : Check related properties

check.interval = 60
check.tries    =  5

Note: I leave this as default values

Set JAVA Path through environment variable

Check Java version to make sure path is working

Run Command as : java -jar MailNotifierApp.jar properties=MailNotifierApp.props

Note: Keep this window open to receive alerts

Now you will get first email from tool as below

Note: After SUM process finish you can remove environment variable you created previously.

Thank you for reading

Yogesh

Hi Yogesh,

Thanks for the excellent blog.

I am getting same 401 error.

We do not need a id / pwd to send mails; Though I gave sidadm id and password; I still get error 401. Any clues ?

Hello Sanjay,

Did you provide password in .props file?

If Not please provide password in there and try again

Make sure put host name and not localhost

Thanks

Alas,.. no luck..

Propertyfile is correctly maintained.

e:
cd E:\usr\sap\SR1\SUM\abap\mailNotifier
java -jar MailNotifierApp.jar properties=X:\sources\Prerequisites.SUM\Start_Maillnotifier\jar-not_functioning\MailNotifierApp.props

And still...

So I worked out a powershell script,.. reading the XML at the URL...

$uri = "http://[hostname].pidpant.local:1128/slp/sumabap/[SID]/monitor"

[xml]$doc = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $uri -Credential $cred

and so I mimic the 'MailNotifier'...

Allowing me to:

trigger sending an SMS and/or email
build a 'log' containing phases, statusses ...

which kind of exceeds the functionality of the jar..

Hello All - I also get 401 issue... IF my sidadm password has special character, how should I put it? Looks like its not interpreting special character in my password properly.

If you are encountre the problem ERROR SumMailNotifier (Version 1.4.11) finished with errors: java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://hostname:1128/slp/dualabap/DEV/monitor.

You should put sum.type = sumabap in the MailNotifierApp.props file, and inform the following command line: java -jar MailNotifierApp.jar properties=MailNotifierApp.props sum.user=<SID>adm sum.pwd=password.

regards.

Is there a possibility to start a command instead of an eMail? I work a lot with Pushover. Just curl a web page and I get a notification. You don’t need a SMTP server or anything else.

Example for Pushover:

curl -s \
  --form-string "token=abc123" \
  --form-string "user=user123" \
  --form-string "message=hello world" \
  https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json
