The computer specified in the EMAIL_SERVER key (TCP/IP network name or IP address) receives the e-mails sent by the PPM server via the SMTP protocol.
The e-mail address specified in the EMAIL_FROM key is used as sender address for the following types of e-mail:
The FORMAT and STYLE keys specify the formats to be used in the Activities table and Messages table. These formats must be defined in the Mail_settings.properties file.
REPORT_DETAIL_ACTIVITY_STYLE = null
REPORT_DETAIL_ACTIVITY_FORMAT = cpi_detail_html
REPORT_DETAIL_COMMENT_STYLE = null
REPORT_DETAIL_COMMENT_FORMAT = cpi_detail_html
REPORT_EMAIL_ACTIVITY_STYLE = null
REPORT_EMAIL_ACTIVITY_FORMAT = cpi_detail_plaintext
REPORT_EMAIL_COMMENT_STYLE = null
REPORT_EMAIL_COMMENT_FORMAT = cpi_detail_plaintext
The keys REPORT_EMAIL_ACTIVITY_TYPE and REPORT_EMAIL_COMMENT_TYPE indicate the format of the e-mail created. Valid values are text/plain for e-mails in text format and text/html for e-mails in html format.
REPORT_EMAIL_ACTIVITY_TYPE = text/html
REPORT_EMAIL_COMMENT_TYPE = text/html
Use the key EMAIL_ATTACH_RESULT to specify whether and how an analysis linked to a message will be attached. Valid values:
Key value |
Description |
---|---|
false |
The linked analysis will not be attached to the message. |
inline |
The linked analysis will be embedded in the message. The message type is automatically set to text/html. |
The linked analysis will be attached to the message as a pdf file. |
The analysis linked and attached to a message is created using the styles specified in the keys EMAIL_INLINE_STYLE or EMAIL_PDF_STYLE.
Use the SEND_ANALYTICS_EMAILS key to indicate whether an e-mail will be sent by default (value = true) or not (value = false) in addition to creating a CPI message if unfavorable deviations exist.
SEND_ANALYTICS_EMAILS = false
For each Easy mining message type (Early alert, planned value, alarm value, suspected deviation, and outlier analyses), you can use key values to specify whether you are notified by e-mail (key value EMAIL), by a message in the Improvements module (key value CPI), or both (key value CPI,EMAIL).
TARGETVALUE_BEHAVIOUR=CPI
PROCESSMINING_BEHAVIOUR=CPI
ALARMVALUE_BEHAVIOUR=CPI
EARLYALERT_BEHAVIOUR=CPI
OUTLIER_BEHAVIOUR=CPI
If you do not specify any key value, a message is created in the Improvements module and, depending on the SEND_ANALYTICS_EMAILS key value, an e-mail may also be sent (value = true) or not (value = false). If you specify a key value, the information in the SEND_ANALYTICS_EMAILS key is ignored.
Warning
The values for EMAIL and CPI are case-sensitive. Incorrect data results in the action not being executed.
