Notification Delivery

On the Notification Delivery page, you configure settings for WorldServer notifications. The default delivery mechanism implements email delivery and thus delivery settings are email-related. You supply the following configurations:

Frequency of e-mail processing (minutes) – How often do you want WorldServer to perform notification event processing (in minutes)? The value is the minimum amount of time between transmissions, defaulting to 30 minutes between transmissions.

From User – What user do you want the notification to come from? It must be a valid WorldServer user that has an email address configured.

Note: Having an email address is a constraint of the default delivery component. Custom delivery components may have other constraints, such as that the user attribute "IM name" must be configured.

SMTP Server – What SMTP server should WorldServer use?
SMTP Port – What SMTP port should WorldServer use?
SMTP Authentication – Should WorldServer enforce SMTP authentication? If so, you must specify the SMTP username and password expected by the SMTP server.

JavaMail Properties – What advanced JavaMail properties—such as protocol, MIME encoding, or encryption for secure SMTP—would you like WorldServer to use? WorldServer notification delivery is implemented using the JavaMail API, and the default delivery component will pass these added user-defined properties to the JavaMail session.

User-added JavaMail properties are listed in a table. Both name and value fields can be edited for each JavaMail property. Click the Add button to add a new row to the property table. The Delete button works in conjunction with the checkboxes in the JavaMail property table, and deletes selected property rows.

As an example of a useful JavaMail property, you could enter mail.debug for Name and true for Value, and JavaMail will write the SMTP it uses to standard output, plus other debugging information. To view the standard output for WorldServer, start WorldServer in debug mode (for Windows) in a command window with the command IdiomRun –debug, run from the Idiom\WorldServer\svc directory. This launches a another command window, to which it writes the logging and debugging information. When you then set the JavaMail mail.debug property in the Notification Delivery page and click Send Test, you can view the SMTP information in the command window.

Caution: You should only enter these properties if you are familiar with JavaMail and have a clear understanding of the impact. For the most part, you can ignore these settings.

Would you like WorldServer to send a test email to verify that your settings are correct?
When you click the Send Test button, WorldServer sends a notification to test the delivery configuration you have specified, but does not save the configuration. This consists of a hard-coded test message sent to your email address. You must have an email address configured for you in Management > User Setup > Users for the test notification to be delivered. When you have established that your configuration is successful (that is, when you have received the test email), click the Send Test and Save button to save the configuration. You will receive another email and your configuration will now be saved. If the send process encounters an error, the error is displayed at the top of the page; the configuration data is not saved.
