jhmase: Mail sender is missing in configuration
When running a IFS Connect installation it's suitable to setup notification
messages
that will be sent to system administrator when something goes wrong in the
system.
IFS Connect is using 3 types of notifications.
For information about how to the system administrator can use the monitoring
read about
Administrate Connect Monitoring.
Monitoring parameters are defined in a xml file and loaded into the repository. To edit the monitoring parameters you should first save the repository data into a file in the disk.
Example of a j2ee server monitoring parameter file.
There are three xml nodes for the three types of notifications.
Each node has three attributes.
activated
This is the flag that enable the process of sending notification message.
Allowed values are true or false
factor
The factor by which monitoring messages are generated.
e.g. factor="5" - generate monitoring message after each fifth
occurrence of error.
timeout
Timeout value in seconds for the monitoring cache.
There can have multiple destinations of monitoring messages with different destinations types and addresses. Currently File and
SMTP are supporting.
For destination type SMTP to define the configurations; there is
separate
node in the parameter file.
You can specify the host, port and timeout in this node.
MONITORING_CONFIG parameter of the J2EE_SERVER configuration hold the monitoring parameter file.
You should save your monitoring parameter file as a xml file. Then click Load in the configuration.
This will open up a file dialouge. Select your file and press Open. This will load the file to the repository. Then press save in the feature toolbar button to apply the new configuration.
To edit an existing monitoring parameters press Save in the MONITORING_CONFIG parameter.
This will openup a file save dialouge. Save the existing file into the disk and do necessary changes there. Click Load and
load the edited file to the repository as describe above.
Setting new monitoring parameters and editing of the existing monitoring parameters of the batch server is similar to that of J2EE server.
You should restart the batch server after loading the notification parameter setting file to apply those changes.
Setting and editing of the monitoring parameters of the connect server is similar to that of J2EE server and batch server. You should restart the connect server to take effect the setting.
