SAP email server to Gmail Configuration

Configuring SAP to send emails via a Gmail server involves a few steps. Below is a comprehensive guide
to help you through the process:

Prerequisites

Gmail Account: Ensure you have a Gmail account with the necessary credentials.

SMTP Server Details: Obtain the SMTP server details for Gmail:

SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com

Port: 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL)

Requires SSL: Yes

Requires Authentication: Yes

Steps to Configure SAP Email Server to Gmail

1. Access SAPconnect Administration

Log in to your SAP system.

Navigate to transaction code SCOT (SAPconnect Administration).

2. Configure SMTP Node

In the SAPconnect Administration screen, go to Settings > Default Domain and set your default domain
(e.g., yourcompany.com).

Next, go to Settings > Outbound Messages > SMTP Nodes.

Create a new node or modify an existing one:

Node Name: Enter a descriptive name (e.g., GMAIL_SMTP).

Description: Enter a description (e.g., Gmail SMTP Server).

3. SMTP Node Configuration

In the SMTP Node configuration, enter the following details:

Mail Host: smtp.gmail.com

Mail Port: 587 (for TLS) or 465 (for SSL)

Node in Use: Check this box to activate the node.

Authentication: Select Basic Authentication.

User: Enter your Gmail email address.

Password: Enter your Gmail password or an App Password if you have enabled 2-Step Verification on
your Gmail account.

5. Define Address Area

Go to the Address Area tab.

Define the address area for which this node should be used (e.g., * for all email addresses).

6. Schedule Background Job for Sending Emails

Go back to the main SAPconnect Administration screen.

Navigate to View > Jobs > Send Jobs.

Create a new job or modify an existing one:

Job Name: Enter a descriptive name (e.g., EMAIL_SEND_JOB).

Job Class: Select a job class (e.g., C for background job).

Schedule the job to run at regular intervals (e.g., every 10 minutes).

7. Test the Configuration

Send a test email from SAP to ensure the configuration is correct.

Use transaction code SOST to monitor the status of sent emails.

Troubleshooting Tips

Check Logs: Use transaction SOST to check the logs for any errors.

Firewall Settings: Ensure that your network firewall allows outbound connections to Gmail’s SMTP server.

Gmail Security Settings: If you encounter authentication issues, check your Gmail account’s security
settings. You may need to enable "Less secure app access" or use an App Password if 2-Step Verification
is enabled.

By following these steps, you should be able to configure your SAP system to send emails via Gmail’s
SMTP server. If you encounter any issues, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your IT
department for further assistance.
