E-mail
You can use either Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange to e-mail notification
messages to specific users.
Important! You must install Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange Client to set up
configuration data and to send messages. Consult your Windows manual for
instructions on how to set up your e-mail account.
Lotus Notes
To set up Lotus Notes configurations, right-click Lotus Notes and select Lotus
Notes Settings. When the Lotus Notes Settings page appears, enter the following
information:
■ Lotus Notes Install Path?Enter the appropriate install path.
■ Password?Enter your password.
■ Use Specific Account?If you want Alert to switch to another User ID, place
a check mark in this box and enter information in the following fields:
The Alert Manager
10?6 Administrator Guide
? ID File?Example, joeuser.id
? Mail Server?Example, NotesServer/NotesDomain
? Mail File?Example, mail/joeuser.nsf
After you configure Lotus Notes Settings and right-click Lotus Notes, you can
now select New Item and Message Attributes.
If you select New Item, Alert contacts the Lotus Notes server to get the address
book and display the results. Select the users whom you want to receive Alerts.
If you select Message Attributes, you can attach files to the e-mail alert. Enter a
subject, click Add File to select the file you want to attach, and then click OK.
Microsoft Exchange
To set up Microsoft Exchange configurations, right-click and select one of the
following:
■ New Item?Lets you select e-mail recipients.
■ Message Attributes?If you select this, you can attach files to the e-mail
alert. Enter a subject, click Add File to select the file you want to attach, and
then click OK.
■ MS Exchange Settings?If you select this, the Service Logon Settings screen
appears. This is the same screen that appears when you set up a Service
Account. Enter the Domain, User name, and password you want to use with
the Alert Service. Make sure the account and user you enter is an account
with Login as Service rights and is also an account on the Microsoft
Exchange Server. If you are running the Microsoft Exchange Client, you
must also enter the Server name and Mailbox. The Mailbox name is case
sensitive and should not be hidden or a folder.
Tip: If you are using Microsoft Outlook, right-click your Microsoft Outlook
icon and select Properties. Select Microsoft Exchange Server and click
Properties to view the Server and Mailbox information you should enter.
In addition to sending e-mail notification messages, you can also use Lotus Notes
or Microsoft Exchange to e-mail job logs. To do this, create a new item and select
recipients. Then, in the Backup Manager, before you submit a job, click the
Options icon or, from the Backup menu, select Options. When the Global
Options page appears, click the Alert tab, place a check mark in the Attach Job
Log box, and then click OK. Now, after you submit the job, the job log is sent to
the recipients you specified. |
