e-mail addresses) enclose the addresses in parentheses and separate them with
a comma.
ALERTEMAILATTACHMENT="filename"
The ALERTEMAILATTACHMENT attribute specifies the name of a file—such as
omaconfig.xml—that you would like attached to any alert e-mail sent.
Once you have made these additions, your element might look like this:
There are two additional attributes that you might need to add to the
element: WORKUNITJOURNALYIELDCOUNT and ALERTEMAILTEST. The first specifies
how many updates the metadata server can make to the workunit journal file
before it must yield to another internal task. (You do not usually change the value
of this option.) The second is a temporary option that enables you to determine
whether the options previously discussed for the alert e-mail have valid values.
For further information on this subject, see “Reference Information for
omaconfig.xml” on page 254. This section also includes more in-depth discussions
of the options shown in the preceding code snippet.
3 Save the file omaconfig.xml.
4 Open the file sasv9_MetadataServer.cfg in the directory
SAS-config-dir\Lev1\SASMain\MetadataServer.
5 Add the following invocation parameters to the configuration file. The metadata
server needs this information in order to send the alert e-mails mentioned
previously.
-emailsys SMTP
The SAS Metadata Server uses the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) e-mail
interface to send alert e-mail messages to the metadata server administrator.
-emailhost mail-server
Specify the full name of your mail-server host.
-emailid account-of-sender
Specify the e-mail address that you want to appear in the From field of an alert
e-mail. The EMAILID option supports e-mail addresses in two forms:
"server-name" and "". If you have multiple
metadata servers (for example, development, test, and production servers), you
can include a server name to indicate which server is sending the e-mail.
The lines that you add to the configuration file might look like this:
-emailsys SMTP
-emailhost mailhost.company.com
-email "Metadata Server 1"
6 Save your changes to sasv9_MetadataServer.cfg.
7 Restart the metadata server.
