notifications not emailing

• CA Performance Management - Usage and Administration

Issue/Introduction

It seems we can create an event in CAPM but they are not getting emailed  As a result we are not able to send email out via notifications

Cause

Errors in the EMService.log indicate an incorrect email server address

TRACE | pool-3-thread-3          | 2021-05-07 10:36:45,719 | com.ca.im.portal.em.notifications.EmailHandlerImpl               
      | DEBUG SMTP: trying to connect to host "mail-domain.com", port 25, isSSL false

notice that "mail-domain" is an invalid address. It should be "mail.domain.com

The following query also shows the invalid entry for NpcSmtpHost

mysql> select * from netqosportal.performance_center_properties where propname like 'NpcSmtp%';

 cd /opt/CA/PerformanceCenter/
[[email protected] PerformanceCenter]# ./SsoConfig

1. Remote Value
2. Local Override
Choose an option >

Check both "Remote Value" and "Local Override" for the invalid entry

In this case the Remote Value for SMTP Server address was invalid

SMTP Server Address: mail-domain.com

Choose 1 for Remote Value
Choose 11 for SMTP Server Address:
Choose "u" to update
Enter the correct value for SMTP server address; mail.domain.com
