You must set up and configure an EmailNotification job if your application is designed to generate an email notification message. An email message informs a user that an online statement is available, and can include a direct link to dynamically view the statement.
In a live environment, you run an EmailNotification job after the Indexer job because it consists of individual tasks that depend on the successful completion of the Indexer job.
Creating and configuring an EmailNotification job requires you to:
· Specify configuration settings for the two production tasks that run sequentially as part of the job: IVNScanner and MailNotification
· Publish the email view files (DDF, ALF, and HTML templates) created for the intended email message
Review all the task and field configuration settings to determine which options to use in your application.
