Enable e-mail notification for workspaces

Enable e-mail notification in workspaces allows WebSphere Commerce to send e-mail automatically in certain situations.

• Workspace Content Contributors will receive e-mail notification when a task they are assigned is part of a task group that has been activated.

• Task Group Approvers will receive e-mail notification when a task group for which they are an approver is ready for approval.

• Workspace Content Contributors will receive e-mail notification if a task group approval request is rejected and their assigned tasks are re-activated.

If you are enabling e-mail notification for workspaces in WebSphere Commerce Developer, follow the instructions in Enabling e-mail notification for workspaces in WebSphere Commerce Developer.

Procedure

1. Configure the e-mail transportation method for the authoring server.
   

2. Assign the following message types to the e-mail transportation method:
   

   • RejectTaskNotification

   • ReadyToApproveTaskGroupNotification

   • ActivateTaskNotification

3. Copy the following file to a temporary location:

   • WC_EAR/xml/config/wc-workspace.xml

   This file should never be directly modified. For more information, refer to XML configuration directory.

4. Open the temporary copy of the file in a text editor.

5. Find the following text:

   <ActivateTaskEmail isEmailEnabled="false" from="" cc="" bcc="" language="en_US" />
   <RejectTaskEmail isEmailEnabled="false" from="" cc="" bcc="" language="en_US" />
   <ApproveTaskGroupEmail isEmailEnabled="false" from="" cc="" bcc="" language="en_US" />
   

6. Change the text to the following:

   <ActivateTaskEmail isEmailEnabled="true" from="" cc="" bcc="" language="en_US" />
   <RejectTaskEmail isEmailEnabled="true" from="" cc="" bcc="" language="en_US" />
   <ApproveTaskGroupEmail isEmailEnabled="true" from="" cc="" bcc="" language="en_US" />
   

7. Save the changes.

8. Update WebSphere Commerce with the updated file. See the Update applications topic in the WebSphere Application Server Information Center for instructions. Ensure that you follow the instructions for updating a single file.

   You will need the following information:

   Option	Description
   Enterprise application name	WC_enterprise_application
   Relative path to file	xml/config/wc-workspace.xml

9. Stop and restart WebSphere Commerce.
