Configuring Email Recipients in the DAC Client

Follow this procedure to configure email recipients in the DAC Client.

To configure email recipients in the DAC Client

1. In the Setup view, click the Email Recipients tab.
2. Click New in the toolbar.
3. In the Edit subtab, enter the following information:
   

   Field	Description
   Name	Logical name of the user to be notified.
   Email Address	Email address where the notification will be sent.
   Notification Level	The notification levels are as follows: 1 -- Notifies recipient of ETL statuses Failed and Aborted. 5 -- Notifies recipient of ETL statuses Failed, Aborted, and Completed; and data source usage. 10 -- Notifies recipient of the same notifications as level 5 and the tasks status Failed.

Configuring Email in the DAC Server

Follow this procedure to configure the email administrator account in the DAC Server to enable recipients to receive email notifications.
The DAC Server has a built-in login-authentication based email (SMTP) client, which connects to any SMTP login-authenticating server.

Note the following points:

• In standalone mode, you must configure email administrator account from the location where the DAC Server will be running.
• For the email functionality to work, you must be using an SMTP server in which the SMTP authentication mode LOGIN is enabled. For example, if you are using Microsoft Exchange Server, you must enable the SMTP module and enable authentication in the Basic Mode. The SMTP server outbound email authentication must be turned on for the DAC Server to be able to send email notifications.

To configure the email administrator account in the DAC Server

1. In the DAC Client, on the Tools menu, select DAC Server Management, and then select DAC Server Setup.
2. Click Yes.
   The Server Configuration dialog appears.
3. Click the Email Configuration tab, and enter the email details for the email address to which you want to send DAC Server information notifications.
   
   

   Field	Description
   User Name	User name for the email account.

   Email Server	Host name of the email server.
   Email Server Port	Port where the email server listens.
