Changing the subject line in an iHub job completion notification
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 acnotification.xml file, and see that the <subject></subject> is hard coded as 'Actuate iHub Notification'. Further down in the file, I see where there are insert statements using variables, 'jobType', 'reportLink', 'jobCompletion'. Would it be possible to create a variable, say 'jobName', and do something like:
<subject><insert variable="jobName"> Notification</subject>
If this might be a possibility, where would I begin the process?
Thanks for any help provided!

Hi Scott,
You can certianly make the change noted above. You would simply:
1 - backup your current acnotification.xml file
2 - Stop the iServer/iHub
3 - Modify the acnotification.xml to have a subject noted as: <subject><insert variable="jobName"> Notification</subject>
4 - Start the iServer/iHub
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:
