Local Notifies

For an SMTP email local notify, CA XCOM Data Transport checks the following parameters to use as the from address:

Remote Notifies

For an SMTP email remote notify, CA XCOM Data Transport checks the following parameters to use as the from address:

• First, the USERID of the remote user (in the configuration file)
• Second, XCOM_USERID (in the global file)

If none of these parameters has been specified, then the results are as follows:

Note: The following parameters must also be set:

• MAIL_TYPE=SMTP (global file parameter)
• NOTIFY_NAME=(remote user)
• NOTIFYR=MAIL
