The Commit Alerts Server is part of the Commit Server.
Setting up the Commit Alerts Server includes server-side settings performed by a system administrator, and user-side settings, performed by each user in Commit. The server-side setup includes setting up the Commit Server Outgoing email settings, setting up Commit Alerts Server settings and activating the Commit Server Service.
Once the Service is up and running and outgoing email settings are functioning properly, only then should you set up the Alerts Server.
To run the configuration application:
1. Log into the Server with a Windows Administrator user. Note that the setup program must run from the same server as the one where the Commit installation sits and from where you plan to run the Email Connector.
2. Run <Installation_DIR>\Server\ServerConfig.exe
The following window will open:
Sever Config Window
The server configuration window consists of the following three tabs:
1. Outgoing Mail Server Settings - here you can define the settings for all outgoing emails sent by the Commit Server.
2. Email Connector Settings - here you can define all the settings for the Commit Email Connector.
3. Alerts Server Settings - here you can define all the settings for the Commit Alerts Server.
It is recommended to start with the Outgoing Mail Server settings.
