Forwarding notifications to email

You can configure IBM Software Hub to forward notifications that are generated by services to one or more users or groups.

1. Log in to the web client.
2. From the navigation menu, select Administration > Configurations and settings.
3. Click Notification forwarding.
4. Click New target.
5. Specify a name and description for the target.
6. Choose Email recipients. Then, click Create.
7. On the Events tab, click Add events and select the type of event or events that you want to forward notifications for. Then, click Add.
   You can forward notifications for:
   • Changes to assets in a catalog
   • Changes to data quality SLA violation information in a catalog
   • Changes to data quality SLA assessments in a catalog
   • Changes to assets in a project
   • Changes to data quality SLA violation information in a project
   • Changes to data quality SLA assessments in a project
   • Changes to projects
   • Changes to project members
   • Changes to jobs
   • Changes to job runs
   • Changes to data quality
   • Changes to governance artifacts
   • Changes to metadata imports
8. By default, all of the events in all workspaces trigger notification forwarding. However, you can specify the criteria under which you want the notifications to be forwarded. Click the icon to change the relevant criteria.
   If you modify the criteria, keep the following restrictions in mind:

   • For some criteria, you cannot revert to the event to the default settings. You must re-add the event.
   • You can choose exactly one option for each criteria. For example, you can choose to forward notifications that are associated with a specific catalog. If you want to forward notifications from multiple catalogs to the same target, you must add an event for each catalog.

   The following table specifies which criteria can be modified.

   Event type	Workspace	Workspace criteria	Additional criteria
   Asset	Catalogs	You can choose a catalog.	Assets You can choose an asset. Asset actions You can choose an action.
   Data quality SLA violation	Catalogs	You can select catalogs.	You can select assets.

9. On the Email recipients tab, click Add recipients to specify the users or groups that you want to forward the notifications to.
   Remember: You can forward notifications only to IBM Software Hub users who have an email address associated with their username. If you choose a user who does not have an email address associated with their user name, the user is not added to the mailing list.

   You can use the Send test email button if you want to confirm that the specified users can receive notifications. The test email contains the following message:

   This is a test email
