1. The Notification Mailer resides on your server in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin subdirectory. To run the Notification Mailer, use the following command syntax:

	wfmail.<xxx> -f <config_file>

Replace <xxx> with ofc to use the Oracle Internet Messaging 4.2 version of the Notification Mailer or with snd to use the UNIX Sendmail version. Replace <config_file> with the full path and name of the configuration file that contains the parameters you want to run with the Notification Mailer.

Attention: To use the Oracle Internet Messaging 4.2 version of the Notification Mailer, you must be able to connect to a full installation of the Oracle Internet Messaging 4.2 Messaging Option mail server. The Internet Messaging 4.2 mail server installation does not have to reside on the same $ORACLE_HOME or even on the same machine as Oracle Workflow. However, you must ensure that all of Oracle Internet Messaging 4.2's message files are present in the Notification Mailer's running environment. To accomplish this, you can create links under your $ORACLE_HOME where the Notification Mailer resides, to the $ORACLE_HOME/oacore21 and $ORACLE_HOME/office subdirectories of your Oracle Internet Messaging 4.2 installation area. Alternatively, you can manually create the oacore21 and office subdirectories under your $ORACLE_HOME and copy over the files from the $ORACLE_HOME/oacore21 and $ORACLE_HOME/office subdirectories of your Internet Messaging 4.2 installation area.

2. Alternatively, you can specify the parameters for the Notification Mailer as arguments on the command line rather than in a configuration file, by typing the following command:

	wfmail.<xxx> <arg1> <arg2> ...

Or, you can specify a configuration file, but override certain parameter values in the configuration file by specifying command line values:

	wfmail.<xxx> -f <config_file> <arg1> <arg2> ...

Replace <arg1> <arg2> ... with any number of optional parameters and values, using the format parameter=value.
