To mail Advisor notifications, you must have an SMTP Integrator configured with valid connection
information and with the property SentinelDefaultEMailServer set to "true". For more information,
see the SMTP Integrator documentation available on the
documentation/sentinel61).
After the SMTP Integrator is configured, Advisor uses other settings configured during installation
to send a notification if there is an error in the data loading process. During installation, the
administrator can also determine whether Advisor sends notifications for successful Advisor
updates and what To and From addresses should be used for the messages.
These installation settings can be changed in the configuration files for Advisor.
