Hi Narendra,

In addition to above replies I would like to add one more thing. You need to specify the email address of Workflow Owner because all the users will get the mail from this Owner's address only.

Hi,

U can use notify step in workflows.In the "To" property enetr the user names to whom u want to send the mails.

In the Body u can achieve dynamism by including following parameters(for eg u can get the record ID which are approved)

%RepositoryName%: The repository name

%TableName%: The table name

%JobId%: The job id

%JobName%: The job name

%StepId%: The step id

%StepName%: The step name

%Records%: The record id and display fields of the job records

Apart from this u need to configure the Mail Server in mds.in

Mailserver=IP addresss or mail.yahoo.com(IP is prefered)

After enetering the Mail server u need to restart the MDM server.Regards

Hi Narendra,

Kindly follow the below steps correctly and you should get the desired result.

- In The MDM Console create Users assigned to specific roles and in the User property give the email Id of the user.

- In the mdss.ini do the following settings:

- For Notify Step: In mds.ini file

Only Server Name need to be mentioned in MDS.ini file.

server name =IP Address

Prefer to use IP Address of the Mail server instead Name.

Sample example of the body of the email:

If you wish to send the JobId,Job name ,StepID,Stepname in the mail then write the body of teh mail as below

BODY: JOBID: %JOBID%

JOBNAME: %JOBNAME&

STEPID: %STEPID%

STEPNAME: %STEPNAME%

%RECORDS%

Kindly follow the below links for further help on this

Hope it helped

Kindly reward points if found useful

Hi,

In the notify .u can first select the option as user and also as roles.

To send the email to a particular user u can include the email ids in the console in admin section in users table.Here u can include the email id of particular user and also multiple ids.In workflow u can include that user for notification.U can also incude the text.

Hope this may help u !!!
