Defining e-mail notification

In addition to actively monitoring tasks with the Runtime Tasks panel, you can also have e-mail notifications sent to specified users when runtime tasks occur.

Before you begin

When security is enabled, some fields are not available without proper authorization. You must have configurator administrative privileges to define e-mail notification.

About this task

By defining e-mail notification, you can be notify a set of e-mail addresses when runtime tasks are generated.

The sender user ID is preset to wasxd. You might need to register the sender user ID to in your Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) registry before the cell can successfully send e-mail notifications.

Procedure

  1. Optional: Set the user ID from which the e-mails are sent.
    Requirement: To change the user ID, you must install the appropriate fix pack for your WebSphere® Virtual Enterprise release and your WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment release:
    Table 1. Required interim fixes to use custom user IDs for e-mail notification
    WebSphere Virtual Enterprise Version WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version Required interim fixes
    6.0.2.1 6.0.2.x PK55085
    6.0.2.1 6.1.0.11 or 6.1.0.13 PK54881 and PK55085
    6.0.2.1 6.1.0.15 or later PK55085
    6.0.2.7 6.0.2.35 or 6.0.2.37 No interim fix is required
    6.1.0.0 6.1.0.11 or 6.1.0.13 PK54881 and PK55085
    6.1.0.0 6.1.0.15 or later PK55085
    6.1.0.1 6.1.0.11 or 6.1.0.13 PK54881
    6.1.0.1 6.1.0.15 or later No interim fix is required
    By default, the value is preset to wasxd. To change this default, perform the following steps:
    1. In the administrative console, click System administration > Cell > Custom properties > New .
    2. Enter the name of the custom property as task.email.global.sender.id and set the value to the specific e-mail user ID that you want to use.
    3. Click Apply. The change becomes effective when you save the configuration.
  2. Configure e-mail notification in the administrative console. In the administrative console, click System administration > Task management > Notifications. Select Enable notifications to enable notifications. When runtime tasks are generated, an e-mail notification is sent to each of the e-mail addresses that you specify.
  3. Verify that e-mail is sent for a given task. When all of the changes are made, click Test E-mail to verify that the e-mail is sent for a given task. If the e-mail server uses spam-blocking software, this test can fail and prevent the e-mail from displaying in the test inbox. To save your changes, click Apply or OK.

Results

When notification is enabled, an e-mail is sent to each of the specified addresses when a task is generated. When notification is enabled and no e-mail addresses are specified, no e-mails are sent.
