Vantage 6.1 Global Alerts E-mail Configuration

system · February 17, 2006, 12:05pm

In your Process Server.MFG file there should be something like:

StartGlobalAlerts=no
StartMultiCompany=no
StartExternalFinancials=no
StartGenericImport=no
StartGlobalCreditCheck=no
StartMobileConnectServer=no

Edit the GA to yes and it should start with the process server.

GREAT! That worked! Thank you to everyone for their help. One last
question...is there a way to automate this particular process on boot up? I
know I can put the Process Server itself into the startup group, but how do
I single out the Global Alert process?

Thanks,

Matthew

I was able to telnet with no problem from the server. Here are my
settings under the "E-mail Configuration Tab":

- E-mail Link Port: 7005 (have tried 5555 and others as well...ran
'netstat' command to figure out which ports were available)
- Global Alert From E-mail Address: administrator@...
- Global Alert From Label: Vantage 6.1 Administrator
- SMTP Server: IP address of Exchange server (have also tried the FQDN
here as well)
- SMTP Port: 25

One more piece of info...I've been testing with the "Credit Hold" Global
Alert because it's one of the easier ones to trigger. Perhaps there is
another that would be better for testing purposes?

Thanks for the suggestions,

Matthew

Matt,

Go to your Vantage server, click Start | Run and open a command line box
(run
cmd)

When the command line opens, type:

telnet <ip.address.of.your.exchange.server> 25

If you get a "welcome" banner from Exchange then you know Exchange is
configured correctly and that it's an issue with your Vantage setup. If
you get an error message or disconnected immediately then it's a problem
with your Exchange setup.

Did you start the process server for global alerts in addition to making the
global alert active?

I might have missed it in the earlier posts but isn't there a service or something that has to be running on the server. Seems to me I've had this issue before after server reboots where something needed to be restarted or els eno messages were triggered.

You have to go to the your mapped vantage drive on the server and in the the
mfgsys61 there is a "process server" that you can start. Start that and then
you should see an icon on your toolbar that looks like the symbol in the
corner with the red e. Click on the processes and then global alerts and
then start. You can then minimize this. This us usually running from the
server. You can set it up so that it starts automatically when the server is
rebooted. This should get it started.
