After you specify a valid Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server for PlateSpin Migrate to use, you can configure PlateSpin Migrate to automatically send notifications of events and replication reports to specified email addresses.
You can set up a migration job to automatically send email notifications about status and progress to a specified address:
Job events: Job status messages such as Completed, Recoverable Error, and Failed.
Job progress: Detailed job progress messages at configurable intervals.
You specify SMTP server and email account details globally. You can also specify job-specific email addresses. See Configuring the Notification Service.
