email_polling

Performs email polling using a specified rule. The email_polling utility is useful for testing polling configuration, or can be called by a cron job as an alternative to using Teamcenter Dispatcher. Prerequisites Email polling type is configured. Email polling rule is created. Email polling settings are configured. Syntax email_polling [-u=user-id {-p=password | -pf=password-file} -g=group-name] [-rule_id=email poll rule object ID] [-h] Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. This is a user with Teamcenter administration privileges. If this argument is used without a value, the operating system user name is used. Note If Security Services single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your server, the -u and -p arguments are authenticated externally through SSO rather than being authenticated against the Teamcenter database. If you do not supply these arguments, the utility attempts to join an existing SSO session. If no session is found, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. -p Specifies the user's password. If used without a value, the system assumes a null value. If this argument is not used, the system assumes the user-ID value to be the password. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -pf argument. -pf Specifies the password file. If used without a value, the system assumes a null value. If this argument is not used, the system assumes the user-ID value to be the password. For more information about managing password files, see Manage password files. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -p argument. -g Specifies the group associated with the user. If used without a value, the user's default group is assumed. -rule_id Specifies the email poll rule object id. -h Displays help for this utility. Environment As specified in Manually configure the Teamcenter environment.. Files As specified in Log files produced by Teamcenter. Restrictions None.
