How can I ensure I'm alerted of any 'show stopping' Pro Web issues?

Summary

This document illustrates how to activate QAS Pro Web’s server Administrator Notification feature. Administrator Notification helps Systems Administrators by notifying them when ‘show-stopping’ issues exist.

Solution

Use the Administrator Notification feature of Pro Web 4.5. Using this feature the server can be configured so that you will be warned via a nominated email address of the following issues:

• Licence is due to expire
• Data is due to expire
• Number of available clicks on a meter is running low

In order to use the Administrator Notification feature of Pro Web 4.5 you need to configure the following settings (keywords) in qawserve.ini:

AdminEmail

The email address of the customer’s administrator, which the server sends emails to.

AdminEmail ={String defining the email address}

Default: Blank

Purpose: This sets the email address of the QAS server administrator. If this is blank, no email notification can take place. In order for email notification to take place, both this setting and the ServerEmail setting must be populated.

Example: AdminEmail=QAS.administrator@myhost.mydomain

ServerEmail

The email address that the Web Server sends emails from.

ServerEmail ={String defining the email address}}

Default: Blank

Purpose: This sets the email address of the QAS Server. If this is blank, no email

notification can take place. In order for email notification to take place, both this setting and the AdminEmail setting must be populated.

Example: ServerEmail=qaswvdn@myhost.mydomain

MailServer

The address of the SMTP mail server.

MailServer={String defining the IP address}

Default: None

Purpose: This is the IP address of the SMTP mail server. If this is blank, Pro Web will attempt to use a mail server on the local machine.

Example: MailServer=150.150.155.122
