If you assign a message type to a particular transport,
the transport must first be set active. By default, only the e-mail
transport is active at the site-level. If the store does not have
a message transport assignment, then the site assignment is used.
Procedure
- Open the Administration Console
- On the Administration Console Site/Store Selection page,
select Site to assign a message type to a
site, or Store to assign a message type to
a store.
- Click . The Change Message Transport Assignment is
displayed if you are changing an existing message type. If you are
creating a new message type the New Message Transport Assignment is
displayed.
- Click the check box next to the message type to which you
want to assign a transport, and click Change.
If the message type is not in the list, click New.
The Message Transport Assignment page opens.
- If this is a new transport assignment, select the message
type to which a transport is to be assigned from the Message
Type list.
- Select the transport method. If the
desired transport is not shown in the list, this desired transport
is not activated. See Configuring a transport method for the site to configure
the transport.
- Type the transport configuration values in the appropriate
fields. In general, a message severity of
0,0 and a Standard Device Format is recommended.
- Click Next to configure the transport
parameters for the specified message type.
- Click Finish. The Message Type
Configuration page displays, and the Transport Status Column should
be Active.
If the transport status is not active, the
transport has been deactivated or removed.
Important: After
assigning a message type to a transport method for a site or store,
the message profile that is created is based on the initial transport
and has its own record in the database. If you make any changes to
the initial transport, you must update the parameters for all the
message types. For example, if you change the e-mail host in the Transport
Configuration, all the message types using this e-mail transport must
be updated with the new e-mail host.
