We are not able to extract export file for the file size of 9.6 MB. So It is failing even at this stage when I check the outlook email is configured to send and recieve file extract is 35 mb. if outlook is configured to 35 MB it should not fail but obiee agent is failing giving message file too big error.

Appreciate your help on this.

You say you checked Outlook (and that for me is just a mail client, not a mail server), but your SMTP is configured to me localhost (and I doubt you did call your server "Outlook").

SMTP servers don't generally send big files by default, and "5.3.4 Error: message file too big" is a SMTP error message, OBIEE just received that thing from the mail server and did log it.

Look at your SMTP configuration, configure your mail server instead of localhost and make sure your mail server accept large attachements.

Hello Sir,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

These are the mail configuration settings being configured into obiee enterprise manager i am attaching it for your reference.

As per your suggestion you are suggesting to configure mail server instead of localhost. what setting I should set in enterprise manager so that obiee accepts large files.

Appreciate your help on this.

Gianni Ceresa

OBIEE doesn't need to accept large files, because OBIEE is the sender.

You need to ask your company mail server administrator the details for your SMTP server.

If your company SMTP accept large files as you say, the emails will just be sent (or you will have a different kind of error).

The thing is that if you have SMTP error messages (like the 5.3.4 above), it isn't OBIEE fault. All you can do is use a different SMTP server or ask the SMTP server admins to change things on their side.
