Notification delivery settings

You can configure how WorldServer notifications are sent on the Management > Administration > Notification Delivery page. The default delivery mechanism is email-based, so delivery settings are related to how notification email messages are sent.

FieldDescription
Frequency of e-mail processing (minutes)Specify how often you want WorldServer to process notification events. For example, if you enter 30, WorldServer sends notifications every 30 minutes.
From UserSelect the sender of the email notification. The sender must be a valid WorldServer user and must have an email address configured.
SMTP ServerEnter the name or IP address of the SMTP server that WorldServer should use to send the notification.
SMTP PortEnter the SMTP port that WorldServer should use to send the notification.
SMTP AuthenticationSelect whether you want WorldServer to enable SMTP authentication or not. If you want to enable SMTP authentication, you must also specify the SMTP user name and password.
JavaMail PropertiesAdd any advanced JavaMail properties (such as protocol, MIME encoding, or encryption for secure SMTP) that you would like WorldServer to use. In WorldServer, notification delivery is implemented using the JavaMail API and the default delivery component passes these added properties on to the JavaMail session.
The JavaMail properties that you add are listed in a table. Select Add to add a new row to the table. To delete a row, select its corresponding check box, and then select Delete.

Example of JavaMail properties

As an example of a JavaMail property, you could enter mail.debug in the Name box and true in the Value box. This will write the SMTP settings it uses, as well as other debugging information, to standard output.

To view the standard output for WorldServer, start WorldServer in debug mode. You can do this in a command window with the IdiomRun -debug command, which you can run from the Idiom\WorldServer\svc folder. This launches another command window and writes the logging and debugging information in it. If you set the JavaMail mail.debug property and select Send Test, you can view the SMTP information in the command window.

Configuration testing

When you select Send Test, WorldServer sends a notification message to test the delivery configuration, but does not save the configuration. This consists of a hard-coded test message sent to your email address. You must have an email address configured in Management > User Setup > Users for the message to be delivered.

When you decide that your configuration is working properly, select Send Test and Save to save the configuration. You will receive another email message and your configuration will now be saved. If there are issues with the delivery process, a message is displayed and the configuration is not saved.
