Notifications (Master Data Services)

[!INCLUDEssMDSshort] can be configured to send an email notification when business rule validation fails or the status of a model version changes.

How Notifications Are Sent

You configure notifications in [!INCLUDEssMDScfgmgr]. Notifications send email messages by using Database Mail on the instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] [!INCLUDEssDE] that hosts the [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] database. For more information about Database Mail, see Database Mail Configuration Objects in [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Books Online.

When Notifications Are Sent

After notifications are configured, automated email notifications can be sent in the following instances.

Instance	Description
Data fails business rule validation	Individual business rules must be configured to send email when an attribute value fails business rule validation. For more information, see Configure Business Rules to Send Notifications (Master Data Services).
Model version status changes	Each time a model version's status changes, users that are model administrators receive notifications automatically. For more information, see Administrators (Master Data Services).

System Settings

There are settings in [!INCLUDEssMDScfgmgr] that affect notifications. You can adjust these settings in [!INCLUDEssMDScfgmgr] or directly in the System Settings table in the [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] database. For more information, see System Settings (Master Data Services).
