Configuring Alert Notifications for SAS Workflow

To enable workflow participants to receive alert notifications from SAS Workflow you must configure the E-mail notification type in SAS Management Console. After you have configured the alert notifications, you can then use the Notify Participant policy and other workflow notification policies for workflow process activities in SAS Workflow Studio. The notifications setting in SAS Management Console is a global setting. Preferences and notifications can also be configured for individual users.

The Send Notification By Data Object policy in SAS Workflow Studio integrates with the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform's Notification Service. Recipients are notified according to their preferences (e-mail or portlets).

Log on to SAS Management Console as an administrator.
On the Plug-ins tab, navigate to Application ManagementConfiguration ManagerSAS Application Infrastructure.
Right-click SAS Application Infrastructure and select Properties.
Click the Settings tab.
Select Notifications in the left panel. Use the menus or text fields to set the property.
Select the E-mail notification type.
Click OK.
To apply this setting and make it available, restart the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Services, SAS Shared Services, and applications using SAS Workflow.
