Hi Bill,

I haven't received any reply on my question regarding this in the developers thread. I hope you can help me. A month ago we have upgraded from QV9 SR4 to QV11 SR1 and we stopped receiving emails for failed reloads. I can't see a Distribution Service portion in the QMC. Btw, we do not have the QEMC since the upgrade.

We have something similar under System > Mail Server and we set the host name and the from address. We have also set aler email recipients in the QVS Alert tab.

What have we missed. Thank you,

Nenad

There is a Distribution Services folder under the QMC.  The QlikView Server Manual (V11 SR2) has a picture on page 115 under section 19.3.  Sorry, I don't have a V11 instance yet.

It looks like the tab 'Alert E-mail' is what your looking for.

Hope this helps,

B

Yes, if your smartphone has access to your e-mail then yes. 

Yes, if your service provider has an e-mail address that uses your phone number, to convert the e-mail to a text message.

Thank you very much for a quick response.

No, I know where it is and I set up three email accounts there. When I go to the Mail Server and enter my address into the "Send test e-mail to" field and click Send I do not get an email. The Distribution Services service is started automatically.

If the 'Mail Server' settings we're configured correctly, then it sounds like a bug.

What message displays on the screen when you perform the test?

Hi, I am using the QV 11 SR2 in QA and Production. QA is standalone server and Email server just works fine and sends out an email. However Production is clustered box and Task failure shows up with a warning message mentioned below. Any help is appreciated?

And you know if I can send alerts if any task is jammed or stuck? so I can go and stop it or do something?

[manojkvrajan]

No. However, you can create a Windows Task job with a batch script to look for 'Last modified time' of the QVW and send email alerts to the specific group if the QVW fail to refresh within the particular or expected time interval.

Hi,

If you are sending out an alert to a group, that group has to have an email address setup for it.
