One of the cool things about Productstream is that it can be set up to e-mail you when you have work to do on an ECO. I was sitting with customers the other day and several asked that I clear up how to turn of e-mail notifications. The good news is that this is now much easier in Productstream 5.
In many cases you might have a corporate e-mail server you can use. For this tip I am assuming that you will be using the SMTP server that is installed by default when you install IIS off the XP cd.
Configuring the default SMTP server installed with IIS
As an alternative to using a corporate e-mail server, you can use the SMTP server installed with IIS. The following steps assume IIS was installed with the defaults.
1. On the Windows desktop, right-click My Computer and then select Manage.
2. In the Computer Management dialog box, expand Services and Applications and then expand Internet Information Services.
3. Right-click Default SMTP Virtual Server and then select Properties. Then select the Access tab.
4. Click Relay.
5. In the Relay Restrictions dialog box, verify the Only the list below radio button is selected.
6. Click Add.
7. In the Computer dialog box, click DNS Lookup. In the DNS Lookup dialog box, enter localhost. Click OK. The IP address for the localhost, 127.0.0.1, is inserted in the Computer dialog box.
8. In the Computer dialog box, click OK.
9. In the Default SMTP Virtual Server Properties dialog box, click OK.
You may be required to reboot after configuring the SMTP server.
Setting UP Autodesk Data Management Server
Note: These steps configure Autodesk Productstream for both the ERP e-mail notification and the change order e-mail notification.
1. On the computer hosting the Autodesk Data Management Server, Start the Autodesk Vault Manager.
2. Log in as administrator or user with administrator privileges.
3. From the Tools pull down menu select Advanced Settings...
4. Click the checkbox EnableEmail to turn on e-mail notifications.
5. Set the SMTP server to be the computer hosting the ADMS by entering in the SMTP Server Name value as localhost. If you are using a remote server, change the value to the machine name of the SMTP server on your network. If you do not know the machine name of the SMTP server, contact your system administrator.
6. Enter the FromEmailAddress. The FromEmailAddress key specifies the "from" address to use for the automatically generated e-mail messages. This value is blank by default. An e-mail address must be entered.
7. Enter the SMTP port number. By default SMTP operates on port 25.
8. Click the Test email button, enter the to email you want to sen the email to, and you should get a confirmation dialog. If not double check you entered everything correctly.
9. Check the email account you entered and you should see the message?
10. Click Apply and then close the Advanced Settings Dialog.
You are done!
