Setting Up Offline Notifications To Be Sent in E-mail

You can set up offline notifications to be sent via e-mail.

Note: Perform steps 1 to 4 prior to Sterling B2B Integrator being taken offline.
  1. Add the following data to the customer_overrides.properties file using a text editor:
    • noapp.dbDeadLineThread=true
    • bpdeadline.deadlinePerBP=false
    • bpdeadline.includeBPstate=true
    • bpdeadline.dbDeadlineThreadOffline=true
    • bpdeadline.offlineEmail=true
    • bpdeadline.updateStatus=true
    • bpdeadline.EmailTo= (Use this parameter to define the e-mail addresses to be notified. You can enter multiple e-mail addresses by using a comma (,) to separate them.)
  2. Save and close the customer_overrides.properties file.
  3. Stop and restart Sterling B2B Integrator in order for your customer property overrides to take effect.
  4. Run the following command:
    • For UNIX, setupfile.sh
    • For Windows, setupfiles.cmd
  5. After Sterling B2B Integrator is offline, run the following command to start offline notifications:
    • For UNIX, install/bin/bpDeadlineOfflineNotification.sh
    • For Windows, install/bin/bpDeadlineOfflineNotification.cmd
      Note: Depending on the amount of time between when Sterling B2B Integrator goes offline and you run this offline notification command, you may miss a deadline notification.
  6. Check your e-mail to verify that you have received any deadline notifications.
    Note: You may want to execute the command in step 5 again to generate another notification e-mail.
    Note: Since the bpdeadline.updateStatus=true in the customer_override.properties, you may not get the final notification when Sterling B2B Integrator comes back online.
