The Notification tab in the Basic Scheduling tool, shown in the

the schedule status to specific email recipients.
xSetting On Error and Always Notification in the Basic Scheduling Tool
When you select the On Error or Always notification
option, additional options become available, as shown in the following
image.
The On Error and Always notification
options are:
-
Reply Address. Type
the email address of the sender. If report recipients reply to the
report sender, then their messages are sent to this address. If your
email system is unable to deliver a report, then the undeliverable
report message is also returned to this address.
Note:
- If you are authenticating to the mail server with your user
ID and password, then the reply address will be the email address
associated with that user ID.
- If the mail server is configured with authentication and the
Reply Address is configured in the ReportCaster Configuration tool, then
the Reply Address field in the scheduling tools will be disabled.
If a Reply Address is not configured, then the field is enabled
to allow a Reply Address to be sent to the email server, however
the actual Reply Address of the delivered email will be that of
the authenticating account.
-
Subject. Type
the text you want to display in the subject line of the email notification.
There is a limit of 255 alphanumeric characters. By default, this
field contains the report name and date and time stamp.
-
Brief Message
To. Type the email address where you want a full notification
sent. There is no syntax error checking for this field.
Tip: Use the Brief Message To
option when you are sending notification to devices that have limited
memory, such as pagers and cell phones. If you want to notify multiple
recipients, you can use group mail lists defined on your mail server provided
that you append an at sign (@) followed by a valid domain.
-
Full Message To. Type
the email address to which you want a full notification sent. There
is no syntax error checking for this field.
