Running the installer to install Outbound E-mail on the Content Manager server

You install Outbound E-mail on the server by running the Content Manager Server installer. Note that Audience Manager must have already been set up.

Before you begin

Before running the installer you need to have created the Outbound E-mail Tracking database. The installer will prompt you for details about the database and database user credentials.

About this task

By default, the Content Manager does not install Outbound E-mail. You do not need to install Outbound E-mail now if you explicitly selected this feature when you installed the Content Manager Server, except if you want to outscale components.

To install Outbound E-mail, which is now a deprecated feature, run the executable from a command prompt and add LEGACY_VISIBLE=TRUE to the end of your command. This lets you select Outbound E-mail for installation.

Procedure

  1. Access the SDL Tridion Sites installation media.
  2. Navigate to the Content Manager\ directory.
  3. Double-click the executable SDLTridionSites9.exe.
  4. Follow the instructions on the screen:
    • You can select individual software components to install by choosing the Advanced option. (By default, the installer installs all core software components; that is, it does not by default install User Generated Content, Translation Manager, Experience Optimization and Audience Manager, or any deprecated features.)
    • You can install software components you choose not to install by running the installer again and selecting the Modify option.
  5. After the installer finishes, if the installer does not prompt you to restart your machine, perform a manual reboot.

Results

The installer has created a log file in the following location: %PROGRAMDATA%\SDL\SDLWeb\Logs\.

The following software components are installed for Outbound E-mail:
  • Modular Templating Support (default templates)
  • Mailer Service
  • Queue Triggered Mailings Service
  • Bounce Processor Service
  • Collect Tracking Data Service
