performance issue while the user click on the email in MS outlook (extended notifications)

Sun Jun 5 04:59:57 EDT 2011

Hello Srinivas,

I have experienced something similar in the past; e-mails taking some
seconds to respond from click to show.

It has been identified as an issue of the terminal being unable to
communicate with the application server through the http(s) protocol in
order to get HTML formatting information from there.

I can confirm this on your screenshots; in step 4 there is no HTML
formatting shown. 

The latency you are experiencing is the time the system tries and retries to
contact the application server for this information; when the message
finally shows some timeout or maximum retries threshold must have occurred.

I propose that you open the source of the message and try to find calls to
some service of the SAP application server/web dispatcher through HTTP(S).
Then try to access it from your web browser; most probably you will get an
error that will help you identify why it cannot be accessed from the e-mail
client as well. 

In my case, it was a proxy issue.

Srini,

To enable / disable the mail send job I think you can use transaction SCOT.
If possible have your Basis team do this, as it is their purview.

With the server off, run SWN_SELSEN. You will be able to see the generated
emails in transaction SOST. Unsent emails will have a yellow triangle icon
with a message like "waiting for service". If you delete those while they
are in the unsent status then the mails will not be delivered. (Only delete
the emails for your notifications - make sure you don't delete any other
emails that should be sent!).

Once you've cleared the messages you want to 'dump', have Basis restart the
mail send job. Anything still in the SOST queue waiting delivery will be
sent the next time the mail job runs.

I hope this helps.  However, if you've already had messages delivered and
new messages still have this problem.... I'm not sure how this helps you
(are you sending daily reminders for all the old work items that haven't
been completed?). But anyway that is how you delete messages you don't want
to send.

Yes... Normally the basis guys fiddle with the mail server settings so the
mails don't get delivered and we just clear out the old mails somehow so
they don't get resent when we turn the mail server connection back on...

Sorry... one of those jobs I usually just hand over because the basis guys
like to control the mail connection... someone in the list might be able to
give a couple of clues?

Hello,

I believe Jocelyn means you should just ignore the mails from the first run.
