Email text file

In the event of an alarm condition configured for email alarm notification, the application creates, by default, a text file in the following directory:

%DNADataRoot%\RealTime\Temp\CustomApps\EmailAlarming

The email message is created on the basis of elements in the text file.

The name of this file takes the following format:

hostname yyyy-mm-dd HH.MM.SS.sss.txt

Where:

• hostname = the name of the AVEVA Enterprise SCADA host where the email alarm notification process is running.

• yyyy= the current year.

• mm= the current numeric month.

• dd = the current numeric day.

• HH= the current hour in 24-hour format.

• MM= the current minute.

• SS.sss = the current seconds and partial seconds.

Each line in the file takes the following format:

EmailAddressList~OnCall~StationName~AlarmSeverity~PointName~AlarmMessage~AlarmDateAndTime~PointDescription~AdhocMessage~HostName~EmailSubject

Sample Message

joe.doe@email.com,jane.doe@email.com,~station2~high~analog1~manual value = 110 PERCENT (HIGH-HIGH STATE)~11/20/2013 14:39:00~~OGP-VM-7-6-1~SCADA Email Alarm

The "text2email" RealTime process monitors the %DNADataRoot%\RealTime\Temp\CustomApps\EmailAlarming directory every minute for new email text files. When it finds a new file, the process:

• Composes the email message.

• Send the email to the SMTP server.

• Puts a copy of the email into the OnCallAudit table.

After processing, the name of the text file changes to hostname yyyy-mm-dd HH.MM.SS.sss.txt.yyyy-mm-dd HH.MM.SS.sss.bak.
