Upgrading OutboundEmail.properties

If you are upgrading from 2009 SP1 or older, you need to migrate values in OutboundEmail.properties to the XML configuration file used in Audience Manager and Outbound E-mail 2011 onwards (cd_audience_manager_conf.xml).

Procedure

  1. Open OutboundEmail.properties in a text editor.
  2. Access the SDL Tridion installation media.
  3. Navigate to the Outbound E-Mail/Presentation System/Java/config/ directory.
  4. Copy cd_audience_manager_conf.xml to the config (.NET) or classes (Java) directory of your Web application.
  5. Migrate values in OutboundEmail.properties:
    1. E-mail fields and extended detail fields:
      <Configuration>
      	<Email>
      		<OpenImage>MailOpened.gif</OpenImage>
      	</Email>
      	<Redirect>
      		<ErrorResolvingLink>Resolve.html</ErrorResolvingLink>
      		<ErrorResolvingBinary>Empty.gif</ErrorResolvingBinary>
      		<GeneralError>Error.html</GeneralError>
      		<AppendTrackingInfo>false</AppendTrackingInfo>
      	</Redirect>
      	<ExtendedDetails>
      		<EmailAddressFieldName>MAIL</EmailAddressFieldName>
      		<ContactIdentification>
      			<Field>IDENTIFICATION_KEY</Field>
      			<Field>IDENTIFICATION_SOURCE</Field>
      		</ContactIdentification>
      	</ExtendedDetails>
      </Configuration>
    2. Save and close cd_audience_manager_conf.xml.
    3. Navigate to Outbound E-Mail\Presentation System\NET\config or Outbound E-Mail\Presentation System\Java\config.
    4. Copy cd_storage_conf.xml to the config (.NET) or classes (Java) directory of your Web application.
    5. Move your database configuration into the cd_storage_conf.xml configuration file.
    6. If you encrypted your passwords in 2009, you need to encrypt them again using the new Content Delivery command line available as of 2011. For example:
      java -cp cd_core.jar com.tridion.crypto.Encrypt mysensitivestring
      For information on encrypting sensitive strings, see the installation documentation manual.
    7. Save and close cd_storage_conf.xml.
  6. Add Audience Manager to logback.xml file. For more information, see the installation documentation.
