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 <font inherit/Courier New,Courier,monospace;;inherit;;inherit><PKITHOME>/WEBINF/conf/PKitConfig.xml</font> configuration file.

Example:

<notification>
 <!-- url of Stages server -->

 <serverurl>http://stages.example.com:8080</serverurl>
 <!-- name 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>stages-support@methodpark.de</replyto>
 <!--address that should be used as the "From:" header -->
 <sender>Stages Notification Service <stagessupport@methodpark.de></sender>
 <!-- interval for "ASAP" notifications in minutes -->
 <minimumInterval>120</minimumInterval>
</notification>
