Notification Activity
Hi I am using notification activity at the end of my sequencer to send email. I do not want to hard code my mail server and email address as it may change. I thought that I could create a parameter in sequencer properties and put that in the mail server name and email address. For e.g. #Mail_Server# #email_address# and pass the value for this parameter from an external file. It is not working. It thinks #mail_server# is the mail server #email_address# is the email address so it generates a warning message. It does not take the value passed from an external file. Any Idea or suggestion ?
Thanks

Re: Notification Activity
As of 7.1, Notification Activity does not support Parameters.vsanghvi wrote:Hi I am using notification activity at the end of my sequencer to send email.

I am currently using version 7.5 on Windows and it works fine with parameters. There were issues with other stage types (sequencer specific) not accepting parameters in earlier versions, but I have not encountered any of these issues with 7.5.

Go to the Parameters for your Job Sequence and add a variable like SMTPSERVER/EMAILADD then on the Email Notification Properties click on the dots for the chosen property and your parameters (amongst other things) will be displayed.
This is the case for version 7.5.1 - I can't speak for previous versions.
