Problem Note 33230: The documented syntax for supplying multiple e-mail recipients using the ALERTEMAIL option is incorrect
 |  |  |  |
The documentation for the ALERTEMAIL metadata server configuration option in the SAS® OnlineDoc and the SAS® 9.1.3 Intelligence Platform System Administration Guide, page 105, state:
"To specify more than one address (for example, work and home e–mail
addresses) enclose the addresses in parentheses and separate them with
a comma."
However, this syntax generates errors in the metadata server log and does not send e–mail to all recipients. The correct syntax is to enclose the list in parentheses, embed each address in single quotes, and delimit the addresses by a blank space (not a comma), in the following manner:
"('John.Doe@abc.com' 'Jane.Doe@abc.com')"
