Configuring the alert service

To define e-mail alert notifications in ETL, configure the alert service by editing the Default.ini file. If you are configuring the alert service on a UNIX installation of ETL Server, edit the GridNode.ini file.

NoteThis configuration is also required to use the uSMTP JavaScript function. See Appendix A, “Function Reference,” in Sybase ETL 4.9 Users Guide.

  1. Navigate to the etc directory in the installation folder.

  2. Use a text editor to open the Default.ini file and define the alerting configuration in the “SMTP” section, to match your SMTP server and account information:

    [SMTP]
    Server = SMTP Server name
    Port = port number of the SMTP Server
    Sender = account@SMTP Server
    Credential = user/password
    RetryCount = retry count
    RetryInterval = retry interval
    

    For example:

    Server = localhost
    Port = 25
    Sender = admin@localhost
    Credential = admin/7357506276773D3D
    RetryCount = 0
    RetryInterval = 5
    
  3. Save and close the file.
