Internal function or script to send SMS

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In the functional documentation for SAP IDM, SAP has mentioned the following points:

• The password is automatically generated and must be sent to the user by for example SMS or e-mail.
• The approver can then be notified of new approval requests by e-mail or SMS

I have used uSendSMTPMessage to send email to the approvers and users. Has some one ever used any internal function or script to send SMS to the approvers/users?

Experts, please advise. It would be great if you can share the script that you have developed for sending sms.

Thanks,

There is no script to send an SMS - you'd need additional infrastructure / software for that to work.  What you do depends on what form that SMS infrastructure takes.  For example, some phone providers provide an 'email to sms' gateway - send the email to the gateway and it will forward it as an SMS.

You can also look up SMPP Gateways which will do the work.  Some are free open source but buyer beware
