Configure the Stages Server

E-mail Notifications

The Stages e-mail notification service informs Stages users about new news application entries and the assignment of new roles. Also Stages can schedule certain tasks such as the creation of a process version, if a notification server has been configured. The task will then be queued and the user will be informed once it is finished.

Before using this notification service, a few configuration parameters must be set in the <STAGESHOME>/conf/config.xml configuration file.

Example:

<notification>
 <!-- URL of Stages server -->
 <serverurl>http://stages.example.com:8080/stages</serverurl>

 <!-- hostname of SMTP server where e-mail can be delivered -->
 <mailserver>mail.example.com</mailserver>

 <!-- address that should be used as the "Reply-To:" header -->
 <replyto>noreply@yourdomain.com</replyto>

 <!--address that should be used as the "From:" header -->
 <sender>Stages Notification Service <noreply@yourdomain.com></sender>

 <!-- interval for "ASAP" notifications in minutes -->
 <minimumInterval>120</minimumInterval>

</notification>
