Before settings up the config file, we need to encrypt password with using PSCipher Utility.

deploy
I have used “<PS_CFG_HOME>/webserv” path. Some installation may be used

shown above.
SMTP
of “PSCipher” Encrypted password.
Follow the same Procedure for Process Scheduler “psprcs.cfg
psprcs.cfg”

You shouldn't need a restart if you have dynamic changes enabled in your configuration.
Otherwise you will need a restart. There is a flag in the file “psprcs.
cs.cfg” that will tell you this:
By default it is set to “N”, so it is better idea not Change & Restart Process Scheduler
,
Scheduler.
[Process Scheduler]
...
Allow Dynamic Changes=N

12. SMTP Configuration Settings sample I have used.

SMTPServer=smtp.gmail.com
; Dynamic change allowed for SMTPPort
SMTPPort=25
; Dynamic change allowed for SMTPServer1
SMTPServer1=
; Dynamic change allowed for SMTPPort1
SMTPPort1=0
; Dynamic change allowed for SMTPSender
SMTPSender=PeopleSoft@peoplesoft.com
; Dynamic change allowed for SMTPBlackberryReplyTo
SMTPBlackberryReplyTo=
; Dynamic change allowed for SMTPSourceMachine
SMTPSourceMachine=
; Dynamic change allowed for SMTPCharacterSet
SMTPCharacterSet=UTF-8
; Dynamic change allowed for SMTPEncodingDLL
SMTPEncodingDLL=
SMTPGuaranteed=0
SMTPTrace=1
SMTPSendTime=0
SMTPUserName=<Your Gmail Full User name like helloworld@gmail.com>
SMTPUserPassword=<Type your Encrypted Password Like {V1.1}9VSd2AqdiQ5jOjrrO/G42g==>

SMTPClientCertAlias=

Now restart the application server or process scheduler Server. It is Important to do.

16. Run this PeopleCode for Checking.
Import PT_MCF_MAIL:*;
Local PT_MCF_MAIL:MCFOutboundEmail &eMail = create PT_MCF_MAIL:MCFOutboundEmail();

&eMail.Recipients = "psftadmin@company.com";
&eMail.CC = "";
&eMail.BCC = "";
&eMail.From = "psftadmin@company.com";
&eMail.ReplyTo = "psftadmin@company.com";

&eMail.Subject = "test subject"; /* email subject line */
&eMail.Text = "test body"; /* email body text */

&eMail.SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com";
&eMail.IsAuthenticationReqd = True;
&eMail.SMTPUserName = "psftadmin@company.com";
&eMail.SMTPUserPassword = "validPassword";
&eMail.SMTPUseSSL = "Y";
&eMail.SMTPSSLPort = 465;

Local integer &resp = &eMail.Send();

17. Some Troubleshoots.

Problem: The SMTP log shows the following relevant data:
Mon Feb 13 11:50:31 CST 2012 Mon Feb 13 11:50:31 CST 2012 DEBUG: getProvider()
returning javax.mail.Provider[TRANSPORT,smtp,com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport,Sun
Microsystems, Inc]
DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth true

DEBUG SMTP: exception reading response: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:
java.security.cert.CertificateException: Untrusted Server Certificate Chain
DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth true

Solutions: Check Digital Certificate, follow the step 1.
Problems: SMTP sendMail failed (server: 0). cannot send email to “” on Process Scheduler.
Solutions: Check “psprcs.cfg” for process Scheduler, Follow Step No. 12
