Lexolution Email Notifications for the Evaluation Database

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 informs them of any errors and blocks access to the reporting database in case of failure.

🛈 Note

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 rights.
If you installed the Lexolution server in the default installation directory, the configuration file STP.Kms.Server.exe.config can be found in:

C:\Program Files (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. You can enter multiple email recipients, separated by commas.

<add key="ReportDbEmailReceipients" value="user1@company.com,user2@company.com"></add>

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

<add key="ReportDbEmailSenders" value="user@company.com"> </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 can be reached.
If you don't enter a port, 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 if the setting is set to false.

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

Under ReportDbEmailServerUsername, specify the username used to log in to the email server.
Please coordinate with your IT department regarding this configuration.

<add key="ReportDbEmailServerUsername" value="company.com\username"></add>

Under ReportDbEmailServerPassword, specify the password used to log in to the email server.

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

Once you've made your changes, save them.
The changes will be applied by the Lexolution server, and the setup is now installed and configured.

1.12. ADB Tool

As an alternative to updating the reporting database via the KMS server, you can install a separate tool.
Depending on your technical infrastructure, this can significantly improve the performance of reporting database updates.

You can find more detailed information in the documentation “Notes on Building the Reporting DB 9.4.xx.pdf”

1.13. Connecting to STP User Management

The STP User Management manages users and groups for the Lexolution, LEXolution.DMS, and winsolvenz.p4 applications.

Managing permission profiles and assigning employees to users can still only be done in the administration area under User Management in Lexolution.

Connecting to STP User Management is optional. To use this feature, STP User Management must be installed.
Installation and configuration of STP User Management are not covered in this installation guide.
