Settings for the Email Inbound Adapter
Summary
The inbound email adapter has the following settings:
| Group | Settings |
|---|---|
| Basic Settings | POP3 Server, POP3 Port, Credentials, Call Interval |
| Connection Settings | SSL Configuration |
| Additional Settings | Match From, Match To, Match Subject |
The remaining settings are common to all business services. For information, see “Settings for All Business Services” in Configuring Ensemble Productions.
Call Interval
Number of seconds that the adapter will wait before checking again for new email, before checking for a shutdown signal from the Ensemble framework.
If the adapter finds input, it acquires the data and passes it to the business service. The business service processes the data, and then the adapter immediately begins waiting for new input. This cycle continues whenever the production is running and the business service is enabled and scheduled to be active.
The default Call Interval is 5 seconds. The minimum is 0.1 seconds.
Credentials
ID of the Ensemble credentials that contain the username and password of a valid mailbox on the given POP3 server. For information on creating Ensemble credentials, see Configuring Ensemble Productions.
Match From
A list of strings to look for in the From: field of incoming email messages, separated by semicolons (;). If this setting is null, the From: field is ignored when selecting messages to retrieve. For details, see “Specifying the Messages to Retrieve,” earlier in this book.
Match Subject
A list of strings to look for in the Subject: field of email messages, separated by semicolons (;). If this setting is null, the Subject: field is ignored when selecting messages to retrieve. For details, see “Specifying the Messages to Retrieve,” earlier in this book.
Match To
A list of strings to look for in the To: field of email messages, separated by semicolons (;). If this setting is null, the To: field is ignored when selecting messages to retrieve. For details, see “Specifying the Messages to Retrieve,” earlier in this book.
POP3 Port
TCP port on the POP3 email server to get mail from. The default value is 110.
POP3 Server
Address of the POP3 email server to get mail from.
SSL Configuration
The name of an existing SSL/TLS configuration to use to authenticate this connection. Choose a client SSL/TLS configuration, because the adapter initiates the communication.
To create and manage SSL/TLS configurations, use the Management Portal. See the chapter “Using SSL/TLS with Caché” in the Caché Security Administration Guide. The first field on the Edit SSL/TLS Configuration form is Configuration Name. Use this string as the value for the SSLConfig setting.
