Setting On Error and Always Notification in the Basic Scheduling Tool

When you select the On Error or Always notification option, additional options become available.

The On Error and Always notification options are:

  • Reply Address. Type the email address of the sender. If report recipients reply to the report sender, then their messages are sent to this address. If your email system is unable to deliver a report, then the undeliverable report message is also returned to this address.

    Note:

    • If you are authenticating to the mail server with your user ID and password, then the reply address will be the email address associated with that user ID.
    • If the mail server is configured with authentication and the Reply Address is configured in the ReportCaster Configuration tool, then the Reply Address field in the scheduling tools will be disabled. If a Reply Address is not configured, then the field is enabled to allow a Reply Address to be sent to the email server, however the actual Reply Address of the delivered email will be that of the authenticating account.
  • Subject. Type the text you want to display in the subject line of the email notification. There is a limit of 255 alphanumeric characters. By default, this field inherits the title of the schedule.
  • Brief Message To. Type the email address where you want a full notification sent. There is no syntax error checking for this field.

    Tip: Use the Brief Message To option when you are sending notification to devices that have limited memory, such as pagers and cell phones. If you want to notify multiple recipients, you can use group mail lists defined on your mail server provided that you append an at sign (@) followed by a valid domain.

  • Full Message To. Type the email address to which you want a full notification sent. There is no syntax error checking for this field.
