LEXolution Reporting Database Email Notifications

Setting Up Email Notifications When Creating the Reporting Database

The LEXolution server notifies recipients via the configured email address whether the reporting database was created successfully, or alerts them to any errors and blocks access to the reporting database.

🛈 Note

Changes to the settings listed below will take effect at the next notification without requiring a KMS server restart.

You can configure email notifications for when the reporting database is created by setting the appropriate parameters in the configuration file.
Open the LEXolution server configuration file with administrator privileges.
If you installed the LEXolution server in the default installation directory, the configuration file STP.Kms.Server.exe.config is located in:

C:\Programme (x86)\STP AG\LEXolution.KMS-Server\

Under IsReportDbEmailDeliveryEnabled, specify whether you want to enable notifications.

<add key="IsReportDbEmailDeliveryEnabled" value="true"> </add>

Under ReportDbEmailReceipients, specify who should receive the emails. Multiple email recipients can be entered, separated by commas.

<add key="ReportDbEmailReceipients" value="user1@firma.de,user2@firma.de"></add>

Under ReportDbEmailSenders, specify who should be listed as the sender.

<add key="ReportDbEmailSenders" value="benutzer@firma"> </add>

Under ReportDbEmailServerHostnames, specify the email server to be used.

<add key="ReportDbEmailServerHostnames" value="0"></add>

Optionally, under ReportDbEmailServerPort, specify the port on which the email service is accessible.
If no port is entered, the default port 25 will be used.

<add key="ReportDbEmailServerPort" value=""></add>

Under ReportDbEmailServerUseSsl, specify whether communication with the email server should be encrypted. If the email server supports encrypted communication, it can also be negotiated even when the setting is set to false.

<add key="ReportDbEmailServerUseSsl" value="true"></add>

Under ReportDbEmailServerUsername, specify the username to be used when logging in to the email server.
Please consult your IT department regarding the configuration.

<add key="ReportDbEmailServerUsername" value="firma.de\benutzername"></add>

Under ReportDbEmailServerPassword, specify the password to be used when logging in to the email server.

<add key="ReportDbEmailServerPassword" value="password"> </add>

Once you have made your settings, save your changes.
The changes will be applied by the LEXolution server, and the configuration is now complete.

1.12. ADB Tool

As an alternative to updating the reporting database via the KMS server, there is an option to install a separate tool.
Depending on the technical infrastructure, this can result in significantly better performance when updating the reporting database.

For more detailed information, please refer to the documentation "Hinweise zum Aufbau der AuswertungsDB 9.4.xx.pdf"

1.13. Integration with STP User Management

STP User Management handles users and groups for the specialist applications LEXolution, LEXolution.DMS, and winsolvenz.p4.

The management of permission profiles and the assignment of staff members to users can still only be done in the Administration area under User Management in LEXolution.

Integration with STP User Management is optional. To use it, STP User Management must be installed.
The installation and configuration of STP User Management is not covered in these installation instructions.
