multiple recipients for alert emails set in omaconfig.xml file?

RGUL — Wed, 17 Dec 2014 15:26:55 GMT

Is it possible to list multiple recipients for alert email from SAS Metadata server? We are told to list the recipient in the file Lev1/SASMeta/MetadataServer/omaconfig.xml.

The entry in omaconfig.xml is coded as

ALERTEMAIL="recipientEmailID@emailserver"

If multiple recipients are possible, what is the syntax to be used -

- would it be "emailID1@server1,"emailID2@server2"

or would it be "email1@serverID1, emailID2@server2" ?

Thanks

I'm not sure about omaconfig but other places that you can put multiple email address would expect them like this:

ALERTEMAIL=("REC1@EMAIL1" "REC2@EMAIL2" "REC3@EMAIL3");

with the individual email addresses quoted and delimited by a space surrounded by parentheses.

sorry...just looked it up:

To specify more than one address, enclose each address in single quotation marks, place a blank space between each address, and enclose the list in parentheses. For example: "('Bill@mycompany.com' 'Susan@mycompany.com')"
