Administering SAS Shared Services

Setting the Default Alert Notification Delivery Type

Alert notifications can be sent to users either via e-mail or via display in a portlet that users view in the SAS Information Delivery Portal. The default notification delivery type is specified in the properties for SAS Application Infrastructure using the Configuration Manager plug-in to SAS Management Console.

To change the alert notification setting, follow these steps:

Log on to SAS Management Console as an administrator.
On the Plug-ins tab, navigate to Application Management Configuration Manager SAS Application Infrastructure.
Right-click SAS Application Infrastructure and select Properties.
Click the Settings tab.
Select Notifications in the left pane.
In the right pane, select a value from the Alert notifications type list box. Here are the choices:
- My alerts portlet (default)
- Via e-mail
- Both e-mail and alerts portlet
Click OK.
To apply this setting and make it available, restart the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Services, SAS Shared Services, and SAS Web Report Studio applications. (Changes to properties do not take effect immediately on the run-time system. For details, see Summary of Steps for Using Configuration Manager.)

This setting becomes the default for your site. Users can specify an individual preference that overrides this value so that they receive notifications via a specific delivery type that meets their needs.
