Add Action: Send Mail

You can send SMTP emails when the policy violation occurs. The engine is enabled to send email when processing policies.

Note: You must have configured a valid SMTP mail address and mail server using the configuration policies. The configuration policy that configures the mail server must be applied to the DSM domain manager. When a policy evaluation is configured using a remote engine, the configuration policy for the mail server also has to be applied to the remote engine system. For more information, see the Configuration Policy section of the DSM Explorer Help and the Asset Management Administration Guide.

The Configure Policy Actions dialog for this policy contains the following fields and check box:

EMail address

Defines one or more email addresses of the recipients who will get an email notification when the policy is violated. Use a semicolon (;) to separate email addresses.

Enter message

Defines the message text of the email.

Macro

Specifies the macro that you want to add to the notification message. You can add any number of macros to the message.

Add

Adds the selected macro to the message.

Perform action when Asset no longer violates Policy

Evaluates the policy as defined during policy creation.

When you select this check box, the following happens when an asset no longer complies with the policy:

• The asset is no longer displayed in the Violators list.
• The policy is removed from the violated policies list in the Home page of the asset and the domain home page.
• The asset icon changes to the default icon (when it does not violate another policy).
• The configured action will be initiated.
