Changing the subject line in an iHub job completion notification

CodeRookie

<p>Good morning, all!  I was approached by a user with a question about being able to change the subject line content in the iHub job completion notification.  I am looking at the <strong>acnotification.xml</strong> file, and see that the <strong><subject></subject></strong> is hard coded as '<strong>Actuate iHub Notification</strong>'.  Further down in the file, I see where there are insert statements using variables, '<strong>jobType</strong>', '<strong>reportLink</strong>', '<strong>jobCompletion</strong>'.  Would it be possible to create a variable, say '<strong>jobName</strong>', and do something like:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><subject><insert variable="jobName"> Notification</subject></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>If this might be a possibility, where would I begin the process?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for any help provided!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You can certianly make the change noted above.  You would simply:</p>
<p>1 -  backup your current acnotification.xml file</p>
<p>2 - Stop the iServer/iHub</p>
<p>3 - Modify the acnotification.xml to have a subject noted as: <strong><subject><insert variable="jobName"> Notification</subject></strong></p>
<p>4 - Start the iServer/iHub</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then you could test.  If you have a variable that isn't valid you'll see an error: <Unknown template variable: xxxxx>.  jobName is one of the available variables.  Here is a link to the functionality of the acnotification.xml that also includes the possible variables that could be used:</p>
