Configure Email Notifications

Important: This activity is optional. Access from the DataBlast server machine to an email server is required for email notifications. This activity should be performed by the DataBlast System Installer, who must have adequate network, domain and administrator permissions to the installation machines.

Notifications can be sent by email when the DataBlast Service is started or stopped, or if the DataBlast system has an exception error.

Email notifications can also be configured on DataBlast Client machines, so that exception errors specific to that Client are sent by email. If this is required, edit the ExceptionLoggerSettings.xml file that is in C:\ProgramData\Datamine\DATABLAST.Client\.
