SMTP settings

The SMTP settings are required to configure SMTP and delivery settings in the configuration user interface.

The configured parameters are used by the delivery process to send e-mails and the delivery process only tries to send e-mails if the SMTP settings are configured.

The SMTP settings blade is loaded with the following fields:

Host: Enter a valid SMTP host and/or set SMTP Authentication according to the requirements of the SMTP server.

Port: Enter value for port number that is greater than 0 or less than 65535. The default value is 25.

Authentication: Place a tick in the check box to use authentication.  The Username and password field are enabled.  

Username: Used if the Authentication check box has been ticked.  Enter a valid username.

Password:  Used if the Authentication check box has been ticked.  Enter the password for the username specified.

Sender E-mail: Enter the email address used to send the emails.

Sender Name: Enter the name of the sender.

Enable SSL: Place a tick in the check box to enable SSL encryption.

Max number of retries: Enter a the number of attempts to send email messages.  Enter a value greater than 0 and no more than 20.  The default value is 3.

Test Connection: Clicking this button will test the connection using the information entered in the above fields and present a message detailing the result of the attempt.

Once all changes have been made to the settings, press Save.

Schedules run history retention

The number of days the schedules run history is retained is specified in the Retention period day(s) field.

The minimum value specfied should be 1 with the maximum value no greater than 365.  The default retention period is 90 days.

Once all changes have been made to the settings, press Save.

Licensing - Heartbeat rate

The heartbeat defines the rate at which data is exchanged between ATS Reporting Portal and ATS Licensing Server.

When a user opens ATS Reporting Portal, after successful authentication, a process for acquiring a license is triggered.

The user can start/continue using ATS Reporting Portal only if an available license is present.

The heartbeat function will periodically (depending on the rate specified in this setting) inform ATS Licensing Server that the license acquired by the user is still taken and in use. In this case, ATS Licensing Server will not assign the license to another user (this is valid for concurrent licenses).

To change the this heartbeat rate, update the time in milliseconds in the Hearbeat rate (ms) field.

Once all changes have been made to the settings, press Save.
