Notifications (Master Data Services)
Master Data Services 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 Master Data Services Configuration Manager. Notifications send email messages by using Database Mail on the instance of SQL Server Database Engine that hosts the Master Data Services database. For more information about Database Mail, see Database Mail Configuration Objects in SQL Server 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 Master Data Services Configuration Manager that affect notifications. You can adjust these settings in Master Data Services Configuration Manager or directly in the System Settings table in the Master Data Services database. For more information, see System Settings (Master Data Services).
