Sending bulk mails using SOST

[Former Member]

Hello All,

As part of Auto-enrollment testing for HR legal requirement, we have to test the bulk mail sending functionality from our SAP test system. We have ECC 6.0 system and have configured SCOT and mails are getting routed properly. But the scenario to test is to send around 9000 mails in a go by executing a program. Please let me know:

1) Is this feasible to test or will system be able to take this load?

2) Are there any factors to be considered before testing the same

3) Do we have an option to place a control in SOST, so that even though 9000 mails reaches SOST, only a fixed set,may be 100 gets triggered from SOST at a time?

Please help with your valuable comments.

Regards,

Hi,

1) Is this feasible to test or will system be able to take this load?  Usually it is possible.. Provided your relay server is capable of sending/receiving emails in a single go.

2) Are there any factors to be considered before testing the same . You can write a abap code and test it

3) Do we have an option to place a control in SOST, so that even though 9000 mails reaches SOST, only a fixed set,may be 100 gets triggered from SOST at a time? You can trigger it by a background   job . Please see the below links
