Send an email
Use the Send an email window to send notification of a situation event or activity in your workflow to a single recipient. This activity does not support multiple email recipients. This activity is not supported on a z/OS monitoring server.
However, if the hub monitoring server is not running on z/OS,
a policy running on a z/OS remote monitoring server can be configured
to send emails through the hub’s SOAP server.
- ITM Web Server URL
- The default value is Localhost. Protocol options: HTTP (default) or HTTPS. Only HTTP and HTTPS are supported. Select Localhost or Other. When selecting Other, enter the specific hub monitoring server where the targeted SOAP server is running and to which the email request will be sent. You must also specify the valid port number used by the SOAP server.
- SMTP Server
- Your email server. For example,
smpt.us.ibm.com. - Sender
- The email address that is sending the notification.
- To
- The email address of a single recipient. Separate a list of recipients with commas.
- Subject
- Specify the subject heading of the email. This field is optional.
- Text
- Specify any text to be included in the email. This field is optional.
- Insert Variable Data
- Specify Situation Attribute or Other value to substitute
data from a preceding situation or On Demand activity.
The Situation Attribute button becomes active if the policy contains a "Wait until a situation is true" activity and you select a row cell under Value.
The Other value button becomes active if the user selects a field. Selecting this button displays a dialogue that facilitates the substitution of data returned by a preceding On Demand activity, and diagnostic information regarding TADDM and On Demand activities.
- If multiple data items are returned
- Your selection here controls how this activity behaves if the triggering situation returns multiple rows of data.
