The Deployment Backup and Recovery Tool generates email alert messages for, by default, both errors and warnings. You can, however, change this so that email alerts are sent for errors only. If you think that changing the email alert threshold for the Deployment Backup and Recovery Tool is appropriate for your environment, use the instructions below. Note that the method is different for SAS^® 9.4 M2 versus SAS^® 9.4 M3 and later.

For SAS 9.4 M3 and Later

Beginning with SAS 9.4 M3, if you want the Deployment Backup and Recovery Tool to send email alerts for errors only, you configure the tool to do so by modifying one of its properties. For these instructions, see the "Specifying the Alert Email Threshold" section of the SAS^® 9.4 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.
