Configuring an Email Server Application Connection

When you configure an Email Server application connection, you specify connection attributes to connect to a mail server database or an Outlook PST file.

In the Workflow Manager, click Connections > Application.

The Application Connection Browser dialog box appears.

Click New.

The Select Subtype list appears.

Select Email Server Connection from the list.

Click OK.

The Connection Object Definition dialog box appears.

The following table describes the connection attributes that you can enter:

Connection Attribute	Description
Name	Application connection name.
User Name	Use the following formats to enter user name: IMAP. User name that precedes @ in the email ID. POP3. User name that precedes @ in the email ID. MAPI. User name in the username@domainname format.
Password	Mailbox password when connecting to a mail server. Password used to encrypt the PST file, if it is password protected, when connecting to Outlook PST.
Server Name	Name of the mail server you want to connect to.
Protocol	Protocol used to connect to the mail server. Select a protocol that the mail server supports. For more information, see Rules and Guidelines for Email Server Application Connections.
PST Filename	Name of the PST file with the complete path with which connection has to be established. For example, \\ps3464\\Outlook\\Outlook.pst if the PST file is on another machine or C:\\Outlook\\Outlook.pst if the PST file is on the machine where the PowerCenter Integration Service runs. The PST file must be accessible from the machine where the PowerCenter Integration Service is running. By default, the PowerCenter Integration Service establishes connection with the PST file specified in the PST File name attribute. If you do not provide the PST file name, the PowerCenter Integration Service establishes connection with the mail server specified in the Server Name attribute.
Trust Certificate Filename	Trust certificate file name signed by the Certification Authority. Required when you select POP3S or IMAPS protocol. For example, E:\\Mirapoint.cer.
