Unable to email Birt-based reports out

agandhi

I'm having a heck of a time getting an emailed report out. I listened to the "Automated Report Delivery" webinar but this topic was not touched on in depth.

This is what I have done so far:
1. Logged in as Administrator
2. Created a user "agandhi" with Operator privileges
3. Click on "Files & Folders"
4. Click on <localhost>->Public->Birt and Business Reports Examples
5. Access one of the reports. For example, "Customers List By Country"
6. My scheduling parameters are:
Schedule: Right now
Output: PDF
Notification: Users-> agandhi, have the boxes checked for "send email notification" and "Attach document"
7. Click OK

I see the PDF created in the <localhost>->Home->Administrator folder. However when I check my email account, I do not see an email with a PDF report attached.

Am I missing something basic or can someone point me to another tutorial to follow?

Thanks very much

In order to send email notifications from the iServer Express, you need set <br />
the Server e-mail notification settings within iServer Express configuration <br />
console.<br />
<br />
In a default installation, you will access the configuration console via:<br />
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://rmurphylinux:8900/acadmin/config'>http://rmurphylinux:8900/acadmin/config</a><br />
<br />
After logging into the configuration console (default user is administrator <br />
with no password), you can configure access to your mail server in the <br />
"Server e-mail notification settings" section.<br />
<br />
Sample settings:<br />
SMTP Server name = exchange.yourcompany.com<br />
Hostname or IP Address = exchange.yourcompany.com<br />
Listen Port = 25<br />
SMTP greeting = HELO<br />
Sender email address = <a href='mailto:' title='E-mail Link' class='bbc_email'>johndoe@yourcompany.com</a><br />
Sender name = John Doe<br />
<br />
You can also read more about configuring email notification in chapter 14 of <br />
the "Using Actuate iServer Express" manual. This manual is available on the <br />
BIRT Exchange documentation page at <br />
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.com/modules/documentation/'>http://www.birt-exchange.com/modules/documentation/</a><br />
