Process of Configuring Email in the DAC Server (Optional)

Follow this procedure to configure the email administrator account in the DAC, which enables the recipient to receive ETL status updates automatically. For example, the data warehousing administrator might want to be informed when an ETL routine has completed.

The DAC server has a built-in login-authentication based email (SMTP) client, which connects to any SMTP login-authenticating server to send emails.

NOTE:  For the email functionality to work, you must be using an SMTP server in which the SMTP authentication mode LOGIN is enabled. For example, if you are using Microsoft Exchange Server, you must enable the SMTP module and enable authentication in the Basic Mode. The SMTP server outbound email authentication must be turned on for the DAC server to be able to send email notifications.

To configure the email administrator account in the DAC server

1. Launch the DAC client.
2. From the menu bar, click Tools > DAC Server Management DAC Server Setup.

   A confirmation dialog box asks you to confirm that you want to configure the DAC repository connection.

3. Click Yes.

   The Server Configuration dialog box appears.

4. In the Email Configuration tab, enter the appropriate information, and click Save.

Once the configuration has been completed, you can start the DAC server.
