Problem Note 33039: Documentation for ALERTEMAIL configuration option syntax is incorrect
In the
SAS® OnlineDoc and the
SAS®
9.1.3 Intelligence Platform System Administration Guide the instructions for specifying more than one e–mail address are incorrect. The documentation states that you should enclose the addresses in parentheses and separate them with a comma. However, this syntax results in errors in your SAS® Metadata Server log such as the following:
WARNING: Email: 553 Invalid recipient address
ERROR: Bad email address: John.Doe@company.com Jane.Doe@company.com
An error occurred sending the ALERT EMAIL message.
To correctly specify more than one e–mail address, you must enclose the e–mail
address list in parentheses, enclose each e–mail address in single
quotation marks, and separate the addresses with a blank space, for example:
ALERTEMAIL="('John.Doe@company.com' 'Jane.Doe@company.com')"
