Setting up the Email Sender for the Rapide Data Model

In order to facilitate tracking of operations performed in the Rapide template, specifically for data load, an email generation mechanism has been created. Configured in the Admin Portal interface of the beqom TCM application, the email generation mechanism enables you to automatically end emails at a defined frequency upon completion of the following processes:

Specifically, it is used to launch the following beqom Rapide processes:

• ADF data load

• API data load

As a best practice, beqom recommends that you configure the task scheduler before attempting any of the above mentioned operations.

Configuring the Rapide Email Sender

To configure the email sender to ensure a proper function of the processes mentioned above, configure the email sender as follows:

1. Open the Admin Portal interface of the beqom TCM application, and then open the (Undefined variable: CompoVariables_AP.Admin).

2. Navigate to Functional Admin > Scheduler. The grid containing all the schedulers already defined in the system is displayed.

3. Click the + icon located in the lower-left corner of the grid. A new scheduler item is created and opened in the Scheduler tab.

4. In the Scheduler Name field, enter the name you want to give to the email sender.

5. In the Scheduler Type field, select Recurring.

6. Check the Enabled box located at the right of the Scheduler Type field.

7. In the Frequency section, define the frequency parameters:

   • Frequency Type: define the recurrence of execution of the email sender. Possible options are: Daily, Weekly or Monthly. For the purpose of this procedure, select Daily.

   • Recurs every: enter the frequency of execution of the email sender. For the purpose of this procedure, enter 1. This will ensure that the email sender is run every day.

8. In the Daily Frequency section, define the number of times the email sender will be run each day:

   • Check the Occurs every radio button, and then enter 10 seconds in the subsequent fields.

   • In the Starting at field, enter the time of the day at which the recurrence starts. For the purpose of this procedure, enter 00:00:00.

   • In the Ending at field, enter the time of the day at which the recurrence ends. For the purpose of this procedure, enter 23:59:59. This will ensure that the email sender runs all day long at the defined interval.

9. In the Duration section, define the duration for which you want the email sender to run

   • In the Start date field, leave the current date (which inserted by default by the system) or select the date at which you want the email sender to start running.

   • Check the No end date radio button. This will make sure that the email sender always runs. If you want to define an end date, check the End date radio button and then select the target date in the subsequent field.

10. Click the save icon, located in the lower-left corner of the property panel to save the definition of the email sender. The following figure illustrates the definition that you should see for the email sender:

11. Switch to the Events tab to configure the event that will be triggered by the task scheduler.

12. Click the + icon located in the lower-left corner of the event panel. A new event is added and the event definition panel is opened in the right-hand part of the application screen.

13. Define the parameters of the event:

    • In the Event Name field, enter the name that you want to give to the event.

    • In the Event Type drop-down list, select the type of event to be triggered by the scheduler. For the purpose of this procedure, select Stored Procedure. A new field is now displayed under the Event Type field.

    • In the Priority drop-down list, select the priority to be given to the event. This field is relevant in the event of an email generation queue.

14. Click the save icon located at the bottom of the event configuration panel. The task scheduler is now properly configured and ready to run.

This is an note/information message.

Now that you have configured the email sender, you can load data in the beqom Rapide Data model.
