There is an alternative way you might want to try.

E-mail send method
You can send an e-mail with the output of the report to specified recipients. Make sure you provide the full e-mail address of the recipient.

Important
Due to security features of Microsoft Outlook, using the e-mail send method may cause the CRS service to stop responding. For details and solutions, see the HP Data Protector Product Announcements, Software Notes, and References. Alternatively, use e-mail (SMTP) as the e-mail send method.

Note If Microsoft Exchange Server 2003/2007 is instaled on the Data Protector Cell Manager, the e-mail reporting send method does not work. Use the e-mail (SMTP) send method instead.

On Windows systems (Cell Server)
To send an e-mail report from a Windows system, you need to have a mail profile. You can either use an existing mail profile or create a new one, named OmniBack.

To use an existing mail profile, add the following line to the Data Protector omnirc file:

OB2_MAPIPROFILE=<existing_MAPI_profile_name>

The display of HTML e-mail report on Windows depends on the e-mail client settings. Many email clients display the report as plain ASCII text. To ensure the report displays correctly as HTML, open it in a Web browser.

On UNIX systems (Cell Server)
The e-mail subsystem has to be configured and running on a UNIX system; no additional configuration is needed.

Due to the operating system limitations, international characters in localized e-mail reports can be displayed incorrectly on UNIX, if they are passed between systems using a different locale.

Thanks.

We are using port 26 as SMTP port instead of 25. As suggested by HP support due to software limitation we should we port 25 as SMTP port. We are using port 25 for another application hence still we hold this.
