PCmover Enterprise Tutorial:  Notification Alerts with Policy Manager

Overview:  Sometimes when a desktop support team is running several PCmover migrations simultaneously, it is helpful to receive an alert notification for when a migration has finished.  This helps save time because the user is no longer required to continually check in on a migration or monitor its progress, as they can simply wait for the email notification.


Tutorial:  This tutorial is designed to provide an overview on how to setup automatic alert notifications for events related to the PCmover wizard process.

1. Open the PCmover Enterprise Policy Manager and navigate to the policy file you wish to modify (default policy file is MasterPoilcy.pol). 
2. Select the “Alerts” tab
3. Fill out the fields titled Name, Email and Message.
4. 1. Environment Variables can be used in the “Message” field to help identify which migration applies to which email alert.
5. Select the “Add” button
6. 1. Set Interactive – Yes to show the step, No to hide
   2. Select Type to “Done”
   3. Choose the Name, Email and Message as with the header fields
7. Go to File -> Save to update your policy file.
