The IVNScanner task determines whether index data has been verified before creating and sending email to enrolled customers. This task is primarily intended for applications with a customized verification/audit application.
IVNScanner looks for a date processed in the Date Accepted (or Date Rejected) column in the volumes table.
A volume is a data input file that has been successfully processed by the Indexer job and referenced in the volumes table. The Indexer job must run before EmailNotification. The EmailNotification job processes one indexed volume at a time until IVNScanner finds no more newly indexed volumes listed in the volumes table.
If you selected "Intercept to Verify" in the Action on Index Volume option when configuring the AutoIndexVolAccept task in the Indexer job, you must use your customized verfication/audit application to either accept or reject the indexed data before the EmailNotification job can process email for that data.
(You can optionally choose to send email when the volume is rejected; this is useful in a test environment only.)

Field |
What to enter/select | |
|
Index Volume Status |
Specifies that the job can proceed to create and send email to customers when a date appears in either the Date Accepted or Date Rejected columns in the volumes table. | |
|
|
Accepted |
(Default) Choose this option if you do not have custom verification/audit application or if you have one and you want to send out email only after a volume has been approved. If you choose this option, IVNScanner looks for a date in the Date Accepted column; if it contains a date, it proceeds to generate email. |
|
|
Rejected |
Use this setting to send email if a volume has been rejected in the custom verification application (use this option for testing purposes only). If you choose this option, IVNScanner looks for a date in the Date Rejected column; if it finds a date, it proceeds to generate email. |
|
Scan Starting From (Number of Days) |
Specify how many previous days’ volumes to scan for; IVNScanner selects any volumes indexed on or between the current date and the number of days ago you specify. | |
