Email Upgrading

CA SDM replaces the Options Manager, Email inbound email options with a Mailbox (usp_mailbox table) that supplies corresponding options. The Email outbound email options are still present under the Options Manager. When you upgrade, CA SDM uses your existing email settings to configure a mailbox, instead of the default Mailbox settings that are supplied with CA SDM Release 12.7. Each email option, except EMAIL_ATTACHMENT_DIR (which is no longer needed), is mapped to an option in the usp_mailbox table. Any option that is not set, is set as null in the table.

Note: For information about activating the default mailbox and about using mailbox options, see the Administration Guide and the Online Help.

The following table lists options that are removed from the Email options, provided in the usp_mailbox table, and indicates their labels in the Mailbox Detail page:

EMAIL_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS

Note: Because EMAIL_ATTACHMENT_DIR is deprecated, you must manually select an Attachment Repository if this option was set and EMAIL_ATTACHMENT_REPOSITORY was not.
