About this task

The following procedure is optional and is applicable to Windows 7, Windows 2008 and Windows XP only.

Some e-mail options supported by Trading Manager require a modification to the default Launcher service Startup parameters. MAPI mail systems such as Microsoft Mail and Microsoft Exchange require access to a user profile when receiving MAPI calls from a service. Configuration requires the creation of a user profile under an existing user account.

It is recommended that you create an M4EC user with appropriate permissions including the User Rights Policy - Log on as a service. This permission allows the Launcher Service to be accessed by the M4EC userid even if the server is running in unattended Automatic mode.

After the M4EC userid is established, create a Mail profile named M4EC that has permission to send mail to any appropriate parties. The M4EC mail profile does not need to receive mail to fulfill the alert functions. If you use the pager alert option, ensure that your mail administrator has given the profile sufficient permissions.

After you or your system administrator creates the M4EC userid and M4EC mail profile, modify the default Startup parameters for the Launcher Service.
