Configuring Email Settings
On Settings, choose Email Settings to configure the following properties, as shown in Figure 3‑12.
*Email Server Type
Type a name for the mail server. For example, type mail.smtp.host.
*Email Server
Type the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the mail server. For example, type mailserver.companydomain.com.
*Email Address
Type the e-mail address that appears in the From line of the e-mail notification. For example, type support@companydomain.com. BIRT iHub also sends a notification to this address when the mail server cannot deliver an e-mail notification to a user.
Figure 3‑12 Configuring an e-mail server
The system administrator can change monitoring to not send out alerts. If the system administrator chooses to have alerts, but does not set up an e-mail server configuration, BIRT iHub continuously generates errors saying that an e-mail server configuration cannot be found. This message is classified as a severe error. To remedy this problem, edit the lmserviceconfig.properties file, and change the following setting from:
lmservice.monitoring.alert.notify.email.enable=true
to:
lmservice.monitoring.alert.notify.email.enable=false
After changing this setting to false, BIRT iHub still logs errors, but does not send e-mail alerts to the system administrator.
In a default BIRT iHub installation on Windows, performed using the graphical installer, in which the install folder is C:\Actuate, lmserviceconfig.properties is in the following location:
C:\Actuate\BIRTiHubVisualization\modules\BIRTiHub\iHub\shared\config\lmsrvr
