Change PPDS Alert Email Format

Hi,
I ran the ppds alerts in the background with program /sapapo/read_alerts_batch and set up the email profiles in /sapapo/amon1 Goto menu "Alert Determination in the background". When the background job runs, it did trigger an email to the user. However, the format of the PPDS alerts are totally different from the alert monitor. It only has the location description and product description displayed but not the product codes and location ids.
Does anyone know if this can be done via a config change somewhere or BADI?
Appreciate your time.
Thanks,
-Ruth

Ruth - Did you figure out how do we get the actual alert message in the email and not just a vague msg. I am facing the same issue and need a resolution.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards

How can I make the Sharepoint List Alert email format more readable?

Hi,
Been wrestling with the issue for a while now. I have a list on my company's Sharepoint site online. I have configured this list to send alerts every morning for all the new list entries that have come in the previous day. Unfortunately, the emails are very
hard to read as they don't do a good job at all of distinguishing columns. There is no border or gradient separation between the data in one column vs. another in the email. This might have been OK, but the column headers appear in the middle of the text box
for the column. I previously used an on-premises version of sharepoint and this wasn't an issue, the alerts would come out very clean.
Is the alert format a function of the theme we chose (basic theme, no gradient, etc.)? I can look into changing my company's theme if that is the case. If not, is there a way to change the format of a specific alert?
Thank you for your help.

I am afraid there is no way to change the alert format in SharePoint Online. The AlertTemplates.xml file is present in physical hive folder of SharePoint in Template\XML directory. And in SharePoint Online, you are not allowed to changes the physical file.
Secondly, all of the styles related to alert are present in this file, so changing the theme on the site won't have any effect. In fact I did test it with several different themes just to make sure there isn't any change in run time and every time the format
remained same.
Thanks,

SharePoint Online custom alert emails

How can I change the alert email that SharePoint online (part of Office 365) send out. I've seen alot of reference to AlertTemplate.xml but that is if you have SP installed on a local server.
I would like to add the check in comments to the alert email.

Hi Scott,
The Alerttemplates.xml file is located at: Local_Drive\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Template\XML directory on On-Premise SharePoint local server, so we can customize the alert template file on local server with server
administration permission per this
article.
But in Office365 SharePoint Online, if you wan to customize the alert template you need to customize the Alerttemplates.xml under 14 folder on Online server, but it is not permitted, check this article
you also have seen.
You can also post this question related SharePoint Online in dedicated Office365 SharePoint Online forum, you can get a better assistance there,

How can I change the order of list item properties in the alert email sent to the assigned-to owner?

Using SharePoint 2010 Foundation.
I have an Issue list configured to send an email to the assigned-to owner (List Settings | Advanced settings | E-Mail Notification = Enabled). I have since added columns to the Issue list. All of the data from my columns appear in the email alert but the
newest additions show up at the bottom of the list in the alert email instead of in the column order I have defined (List Settings | Issue Content Type | Column Order). However, if I click the "Mobile View" in the alert email I received, the Mobile
View does have the items listed in the column order.
Why are these different and how do I get the email alert to match my column order?

Actually the view which you recieve requires the column ordering to be the way you prefer. So whatever is your default view, change the column orders and then check the email alerts.

Changing email format to UTF8

Is that possible to change the email format to utf8 before going out. Thank you

Hi,
It is definately possible, but the process depends a bit on how your Office 365 identity setup looks like, and also what you actually want to do?
Do you want to change the logon username as well?
Are you using DirSync for provisioning accounts? If that is the case, it's in your on-premise Active directory you need to do the changes.
Here's a very quick example that sets primary email address for all users to
[email protected] (note that I'm not changing the logon address). I am also assuming that you have Displayname formatted as "Firstname Lastname". It will not remove any old
addresses, just set them as aliases.
Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox| Foreach-Object {
$DisplayName = $_.DisplayName.split(" ").tolower()
$NewEmailAddress = "$($DisplayName[0]).$($DisplayName[1])@365lab.dk"
Write-Host "Old primary email address is $($_.WindowsEmailAddress), will change to $NewEmailAddress"
Set-Mailbox -Identity $_.Alias -WindowsEmailAddress $NewEmailAddress -WhatIf
You need to remove WhatIf from the set-mailbox cmdlet in order to do actual Changes...

Open the Calendar app, open the event, tap Edit and change the Alert times.
If you want to change the default time, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, scroll down to Calendars - Default Alert Times.

How to change an old email in ichat

iam trying to change my old email in my ichat but i can not change it because is asking me i need to call to my Provider to change my emaol and all my information i do not understand how i need to fix it

Hi,
If you have an AIM login set up in iChat it could be in email format and in some cases actually be a working email.
For instance Apple IDs from MobileMe are working Email and Valid AIM Screen Names
In iChat 4, 5 and 6 if you get to the Add Account screen (iChat Preferences > Accounts use the Plus button) you can select @mac.com then hit the Get an iChat Account and get taken to the @mac.com registration page
These look like email but are not but are Apple IDs and Valid AIM Screen Names
You can also register any email you want at the AIM registration page.
On the Jabber side of iChat the Jabber IDs you can register for are in the same format as email but rarely are.
The exception tends to be Googletalk names that are based on Googlemail names/IDs
As Eric says you can go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and highlight an account then press the minus Button to Delete it
(Then press the add Button and add a different ID/Name)
I have never seen any version of iChat tell me to contact my email name provider about changing it.
It can sometimes tell you that the Name and Password are incorrect.
Most often this happens with MobileMe and @mac.com names as they can have passwords created that are longer then the AIM servers allow.
If this was the message shorten your Password, both at the registration/account change point and in iChat to something that has no more than 16 characters.
Basically your question needs more info to be clearer.
What were you trying to do ?
What was the precise message ? (A pic would be great.)

Workflow changes - send reminder email on X - 1 days ... based on Molga

Hello Everyone,
       I new to workflow and I came across a workflow scenario where I am confuse, that what should I do in order to make it work. Luckily we are running only one workflow in the system which is time off request, We copied standard workflow class u201CCL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBSu201D to Z version and introduced some new method to send email to employees managers as well as employee and HR .
We also have something called workflow item cancel thing . Lets say if workflow is not approved by manger within X bossiness days it got cancel and employee has to submit the new time off request again. After doing a little bit research I came to know that there is standard job which checks and calculate the X days thing. Work flow is running fine from last 1 year.
Last week, we been asked to create reminder from X-1 day and sends to employee manager saying u201C This is a reminder and one day is left u201C .
   I wanted to know how I can achieve that, I have to filter the employee by reading employeeu2019s molga as we want to do it for specific countries then I have to read employee manager which I can do using different FM and then I have to send email to employee's manager .
Like I said It should happen BEFORE x-1 business days when employee submits the time off u2026
Here what I am thinking , I can read table u201CSWWWIHEADu201D with field WI_TYPE = u2018Wu2019 . and pass work_id to FM " SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ " and read the container like the INCLUDE MWS20000081HO01
CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ'
         EXPORTING
              wi_id                    = wi_id
            READ_FOR_UPDATE          = ' '                         *
         TABLES
              wi_container             = wi_container
         EXCEPTIONS
              container_does_not_exist = 1      "message from function
              others                   = 99.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      SWC_GET_ELEMENT WI_CONTAINER 'ACTUALSTATE' ACTUALSTATE130100.
    ELSE.
      CLEAR ACTUALSTATE130100.
    ENDIF.
    IF ACTUALSTATE130100 = 'N'.
      CALL TRANSACTION 'WS20000081M'.
      LEAVE PROGRAM.
    ENDIF.
From container I can read employee number and approver . Get molga via pernr and can filter the employee ..who ever submits the request system date u2013 4 .. I can send out the reminder email u2026
Is there any other way around or any other efficient way of doing that u2026 I hope you understand this thing is conditional u2026 As far as I am concern I new to workflow so please bear with me ..
Waiting
Khan
FYI- I have gone through several post which task about deadlines monitoring Etc .. using fork & wait blah blah .. but It didnu2019t get any clue where to start and how to start u2026

Mike,
        I think I am following you so for .. so here what I did ... I opened the "approve process" and slap in the same refer date/time in "Requested end date " with variables "&WFDATA.DEADLINEDATE&" "&WFDATA.DEADLINETIME&" with 1- DAY . I didnu2019t find this what it says in help " It is possible to specify a negative time interval. Negative time   intervals should only be used in connection with an expression as a   reference date/time. You then have the option of "backward deadlines"
Any way after that I changed action to "modeled" and say "outcome "reminder from UK " .
it creates a node with clock sign , now like you said , I can do many things here .. and I really need to do something for example , I need to check the employee if he/she is from UK , after that reads his/her manager and send an email to mangeru2019s outbox . UK gave us an email format which I have created in t-code SE60 - with Document Class "Dialog Text".
How to proceed further. Thanks for baby sitting me.
What I am thinking , I need to create a new activity as well as new method in my Zclass, in which I will check employee Molga i.e. U.K and I have to send out email based on my email text which I have created in SE61.
Iu2019m able to write code in existing method , being on the safe side I copied the existing workflow and made changes in to it . Now it comes to debugging part , Iu2019m able to find posts on SDN talks about workflow debugging . When I am entering time off request from ESS , and it is not stopping at external breakpoint , Also when I am looking at "PTARQ" to see submit WF items . It is showing me the old task "w90000012" which is original one and I copied it and my task is "w90000022" . What I have to do so when I submit time off request via ESS it calls my task . I created Task in PFTC . But nothing is happening . Please let me know what I am missing ..
I found the table for ESS leave request and able to see my task , Table name is "u2022     V_T554S_WEB"
But still waiting for answers the of above questions ...

Not receiving Alert emails in TFS Projects

Hi
When users in TFS are not receiving Alert emails for any of the notifications. I tried testing the email feature from TFS Admin console and its working fine (Received email)
We enabled the send email in GUI.. However when we try to verify in command prompt , it shows as disabled.

I was able to reproduce this with a desktop install of Team Foundation Server 2013, version 12.0.30723.0 (Tfs2013.Update3) and 12.0.31101.0 (Tfs2013.Update4).
The command-line help for tfsconfig configuremail says:
TfsConfig configureMail /Enabled:<true|false>
/FromEmailAddress:<email address>
/SmtpHost:<SMTP host name>
Changes the From: email address and the SMTP host used for Team Foundation
Notifications.
I was able to enable or disable email alerts from the command line by setting the Enabled parameter to true or false.
However when I ran the command without the parameter Enabled, it set the "Enable Email Alerts" checkbox to false, and then I got the message "Email alerts disabled."
Notice that this parameter is not mentioned in the
documentation.
This behavior seems to be a documentation bug or tool bug, depending on the perspective. It might be that the intended default behavior was to disable alerts if no parameter was passed. If so it needs to be documented.
However, the logical expectation would be for the command without parameters to just show its current Enabled, SMTP Server and Email From Address values. From this perspective this is a bug as it has an unintended and undocumented side effect. You might
want to report this at the
Microsoft Connect website.

Link in alert email for PPTX document leads to "File Not Found" - Caused by encoding error

We have an issue brought to our attention by our customers that has me scratching my head. When our users sign up for an alert on a document library and a PowerPoint document is edited, the link in the alert email looks something like this:
http://Teams/sites/TeamABC/_layouts/PowerPoint.aspx?PowerPointView=ReadingView%26PresentationId=/sites/TeamABC/Shared%2520Documents/SharePoint%2520Service%2520Management.pptx
Although the issue looks like it could be with the double encoded spaces (first encoded is %20, second encoding is %2520), those work fine. The issue comes from the %26 between "ReadingView" and "PresentationId". The %26 is an encoded "&".
If I replace %26 with "&" the url string works fine. I have tried this in IE, Firefox, and Chrome and the result is the same in each, so it's not a browser issue.
The question then becomes, is the error the encoding when the alert is created and sent or is the error with the http handler in SharePoint that doesn't appear to understand how to handle %26? With that, any ideas on how to fix this (other than tell
users to edit the url in the browser changing %26 to "&")?
I should mention we are using SharePoint 2010, SP1, plus August 2011 CU, with Office Web Apps.

Hello,
I think it is because we cannot use "&" in the file name when uploading the file to Sharepoint, we will receive the
message:
The following characters cannot be used anywhere in a site name, in a subsite name, or in a site or Active Directory group name:
tilde (~)
number sign (#)
percent (%)
ampersand (&)
asterisk (*)
braces ({ })
backslash (\)
colon (:)
angle brackets (< >)
question mark (?)
slash (/)
plus sign (+)
pipe (|)
quotation mark (")

Email format

Without any warning, my wife's email format changed to the new email management tool being offered by Verizon. My email has renained as always and I do not want to change. How do we get her email changed back to the older format?

Unfortunately, there is no way to get back the classic E Mail. Eventually everyone will be switched over and it will go bye bye!

New Email Format

Rather than an idea, this is a plea for help because I was unable to find another place through Online Support to make a complaint.
The changes recently made to the email format (around 1/20/2011) for how to select email contacts when trying to send a message are HORRIBLE. You can no longer select the email address from a list that contains the contact's actual name. As I'm sure you are aware, many people don't use their actual names in their email addresses. They use any combination of initials, numbers, and sometimes names that mean nothing to anyone but themselves. In 2011, we all have hundreds of email contacts, and just like phone numbers, we don't keep them in our heads, but select them from directories that we pay for through our service contracts. Since the changes were made, the list to select email addresses is just all mushed together with the email addresses running from one line to the other. You can’t even see the entire address. PLEASE go back to giving us a list that contains the person's actual names so we will be able to select contacts. I am a triple-play customer who also has wireless service, but if some changes aren’t made, I will have to change to another provider. I will have to cancel it all because since 1/20/2011 (the past 4 days) I have been unable to send several emails because I don’t know people’s email addresses; I need to see their name beside it. Today, we all use email, texting, etc. to contact our friends and colleagues. I’m sure I can’t be the only person who dislikes this or who has complained. And, it’s not merely a matter of disliking the new way, it is unusable; Verizon is causing me to lose communication with my contacts. Whoever made the decision to change the selection of email addresses to this new way is a terrible designer and, at the very least, should be reprimanded. AND, I hate the way these severe changes are always made to the email access without any warning or instructions on what the changes have been or how to use them. Please provide a more user-friendly environment.

I have to agree with most of the opinions mentioned here. The new email format is absolutely more cumbersome to use, not very practical, and doesn't perform as well as the old version. It also looks ugly and confusing. All the teeny-tiny window areas in which to view anything is horrible. I tried changing my Settings in my Mail area, however, after half an hour on three separate occasions, of trying to 'SAVE' my settings, I gave up. I cannot change my email settings to a "Classic View". Just doesn't work.
My husband and I were thinking of going FIOS but after viewing and trying to use this new email design, we are having second thoughts. Optonline is looking pretty good and we will be checking them out instead. Too bad, we've been with Verizon a long time. I guess some think these new changes were an improvement. Not me!

Alert emails to a non standard SMTP port

Is it possible to configure LiveCycle ES 8.2 to send its alert emails to an SMTP server on a non standard port? In the AdminUI there is a field for the server but not for the port.
Thanks,

Hi Jon
Sorry, I thought we were talking about Task Notifications not Administrator Notifications.
Changing the port in the Email Notifications process will work for Task Notifications.
Administrator Notifications use the Java mail default, which is port 25 unless otherwise specified on your system.
Are you using the JBoss Turnkey?
if so, you can try this:
1. Navigate to C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8.2\jboss\server\all\deploy
2. Locate the properties-service.xml file.
3. uncomment the following block and set the property as follows:
    
    <attribute name="Properties">
          smtp.mail.port =<your port #>
    </attribute>
4. You don't need to restart JBoss.
The only downside is that this is now the smtp port for that server and any other apps on that server.
If you can live with that, it's an easy workaround.
