Notification email parameters

Use this page to modify the cell-wide task notification email parameters.

To view this administrative console page, click Runtime Operations > Task Management > Notifications.

The sender user ID is preset to wasxd and cannot be configured. Your SMTP registry might require wasxd to be registered before the WebSphere Virtual Enterprise cell can successfully send email notifications.

If security is enabled, some fields are not available without security authorization.

Configuration tab fields:

SMTP host name

Specifies the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) server to connect to when sending mail. Validation on the server host name is not performed.

Port number

Specifies the SMTP port number to connect to when sending mail. The valid port numbers are between 1 and 64767. Validation that the port is the correct SMTP port is not performed.

SMTP user ID

Specifies the user ID when the mail transport host requires authentication. Leave this field blank unless you use a mail server that requires a user ID and password.

SMTP password

Specifies the password when the mail transport host requires authentication. Leave this field blank unless you use a mail server that requires a user ID and password.

Enable notifications

Toggles email notifications on and off. When notifications are enabled, an email is sent to each of the email addresses that is specified when a task is generated.

email address

When notification is enabled, an email is sent to each of the email addresses that is specified when a task is generated. If no email addresses are specified, email notifications are not sent out. Each email address is validated for syntax.

When you complete your changes, click Test email to verify that the task information is sent. If the email server uses spam-blocking software, this test can fail and prevent the email from displaying in the test in-box. When the test is successful, click Apply or OK. Then, click Save
