Hi all

Many of our sending mails from SAP is getting fail.

Error

Cannot process message;maximum sixe exceed

Info from Node - MAXLEN_BODYPART_ALI_SMTP = 25600

I have checked SAP Note 837300,1171138,690020 and find the solution as increase parameter MAXLEN_BODYPART_ALI_SMTP

But question now is

  1. Do it make any performance issue in my system (ERP6 EHP6 with usually sending lot of mails every day) ?
  2. What is the default/recommended value for this parameter ?
  3. I have changed this vale by ->SCOT ->Outbound Message->Settings->Further->Max. Size of an ABAP List, Do i need to restart the SAP system after this ?

Regards, KK

Hi KK,

To get this fixed you should increase the value of 'MAXLEN_MIME_MESSAGE_SMTP' which determines the maximum size of an e-mail (in bytes) that may be sent using the SAPconnect SMTP interface. If you set the value to '0', then the restriction would be removed..

FYI.. I does affect the performance of any system. You should consider every aspect, the hardware, load and number of users.

It does requires ICM adjustments.

Check notes 41089, 837300, 841883, 841089, and 837300.

Hi Divyanshu,

As i updated above , i am getting error ,

Info from Node - MAXLEN_BODYPART_ALI_SMTP = 25600

The above parameter override the value of 'MAXLEN_MIME_MESSAGE_SMTP'

Hello

The parameters MAXLEN_BODYPART_SMTP, MAXLEN_BODYPART_ALI_SMTP and MAXLEN_BODYPART_OTF_SMTP are maintained in the database table SXPARAMS.

You maintain them in the database table SXPARAMS using the Tx SM30.

You don't need to restart the SAP system for that.

Hello RB,

Thanks for your reply.

I can chage this value by

SCOT ->Outbound Message->Settings->Further->Max. Size of an ABAP List.

and the same will reflect in SCOT-> Settings -> Genaral Parameters.

But when i open this , i am getting error Client  has status 'not modifiable'

Do i need to open the client before adjust this value to take effect?

Hello

If the system is throwing a message "not modifiable" then you need to modify the client settings in SCC4 and once the change has been done you can revert back to the old settings

Hi

You may have to adjust a profile parameter.

Please contact your basis consultant and adjust the following parameter.

mpi/total_size_MB..

Refer to the notes:

690020:

1171138

Since you are changing the profile parameter, you may have to restart the application server.

Hi Venkat,

Thanks for your reply,

As i updated above , i am getting error ,

Info from Node - MAXLEN_BODYPART_ALI_SMTP = 25600

I want to change this value first.So my only concern is about performance and the default value.

Do you have anything to share about this ?

Hello

There is no default value for that.

This is not an SAP profile parameter.

I would suggest you to set it with double the present size and check whether it helps or not.
