Enabling email notifications for the task manager component (WebSphere Application Server)

When a user creates a task, the user can specify whether they want to be notified when the task completes or fails. However, for this setting to work, you must configure an SMTP server in WebSphere Application Server.

Procedure

To enable email notifications for the task manager component:

  1. Log in to the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
  2. Go to Resources > Mail > Mail sessions.
  3. Click the CNMailSession entry.
  4. In the Outgoing Mail Properties section, enter the information for your SMTP server.
  5. Save your changes to the master configuration.
