Description of problem: Apologies if I have missed something obvious... I have not been able to set up email notifications (alerts). This is because I cannot find a user interface for this feature in this release. Is it available? CMS Administrators Guide does not cover this. Is any guide/documentation available? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: A UI to configure this feature per the release notes: "Automatic email notifications for workflow/task events are now available. CMS can be configured to send emails when a task is overdue, enabled, disabled, finished, or rolled back." Additional info:
Email notifications/alerts are documented in section 5.5 of the CMS Deployment guide. There is no UI for configuring workflow alerts -- it is controlled via the SectionInitializer parameters CMS enterprise.init file, and turned on/off via the waf.workflow.simple.alerts_enabled parameter -- setting this to true turns on alerts. There is some UI for lifecycle alerts -- to receive expiration alerts, add yourself to the "Alert Recipient" role via the Roles tab. When publishing an item, there's a textfield to enter the expiration alert time period in days and hours. Setting this value to 0 will disable expiration alerts for this one item -- setting it to one day, for example, will send an alert 24 hours before expiration.
Re: Additional Comment #1 "CMS Deployment guide" Please clarify which document you mean. I can confirm we have these five; Quick Start Install Guide APLAWS+ Configuration Reference CMS Administrators Guide WAF Development Guide WAF Installation Guide
User Metriorhynchus CROCODILES is in the Alerts from the Dinosaur Den role. But is not receiving workflow alert emails when, for example, http://youth.aplaws.org.uk/ccm/content/admin/item.jsp?item_id=40497 goes through Task state changes in the "Dinosaur Den" workflow. Any ideas? Is the waf.workflow.simple.alerts_enabled parameter set to true? If not, then please turn this on and let me know.
Results on http://aplaws-ws3.ccm-demo.redhat.de are now as expected for State Change alerts. Thanks guys. However I am not yet seeing the Lifecycle alerts. Bug 118519 explains my efforts.
Thank you for the CMS Deployment Guide. I see state change alerts should include "the latest comment on the workflow task", and this sounds valuable to me. This information is not within the emails I'm getting at the moment, please enable this.
