The steps to send an Email through Oozie, for the first time.
Please note that I'm using Cloudera cdh5.13!
First start with smtp configuration in oozie-site.xml:
Oozie > Configuration > Oozie Server
Click here to view oozie-site.xml configuration in Cloudera Manager
<property>
<name>oozie.email.smtp.host</name>
<value>localhost</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>oozie.email.from.address</name>
<value>oozie@localhost/value>
</property>
<property>
<name>oozie.email.smtp.auth</name>
<value>false</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>oozie.email.smtp.username</name>
<value></value>
</property>
<property>
<name>oozie.email.smtp.password</name>
<value></value>
</property>
<property>
<name>oozie.email.smtp.port</name>
