emailAddressList None N/A Specifies the default set of email addresses to which the Transaction Server sends alert messages. This property is a comma-separated list of email addresses. For example, this list is used to send trackable item overdue or late alert messages as described in Trackable Item Support.

emailLevel None N/A Specifies the message severity level that causes email messages to be sent to the emailAddressList when an error is logged. If this property is not specified, messages are not sent. Valid values for the level are shown in the following list:
  • all
  • info
  • warning
  • severe
Note: When the level is set to all or info, only the following informational messages cause email messages to be sent: FLP00060I, FLP00070I, and EXC00060I.
alertEmailShift1, alertEmailShift2, alertEmailShift3 None N/A These properties define the time ranges for the shifts and the email address that is notified of alerts during the shift.

Examples of specifying this property for each shift number are shown in the following list:
  1. shift1EmailAddress@example.com%0001:0800
  2. shift2EmailAddress@example.com%0801:1700

The percent (%) symbol must be present and indicates where the definition of the time range for the shift starts. The beginning and ending times are separated by a colon and must be specified in military time format.
Note: These properties apply only to alert messages that are being sent for overdue expected events.
