Customizing Notification Messages
Chapter 2 Job Plug-in Modules 77
The day-of-month and day-of-week fields can contain a comma-separated list of
values to specify more than one day. If both day fields are specified, the
specification is inclusive; that is, the day of the month is not required to fall on the
day of the week to be valid. For example, the following entry specifies a job
execution time of midnight on the first and fifteenth of every month, and on every
Monday:
0 0 1,15 * 1
To specify one day type without the other, use an asterisk in the other day field. For
example, the following entry specifies a job execution time of 3:15 a.m. on every
weekday morning:
15 3 * * 1-5
Customizing Notification Messages
Summary email messages are constructed using templates located in the
emails
directory of a CMS instance. This directory has the following default location:
<server_root>/cert-<instance_id>/emails
Both text an HTML templates are included by default. They are listed in Table 2-6.
Templates for Summary Notifications
Table 2-6 lists the default template files for formulating the notification messages
that summarize jobs that were executed by the Job Scheduler component of a
Certificate Manager or Registration Manager. You can change the name of these
files as applicable; be sure to make the appropriate changes to the configuration.
For summaries, a separate template is used to format the entry for each item in the
summary. The item entries are then added to a table in the summary message.
Tokens, which you can use as variables in the body of the message, are defined for
each templates enabling you to customize the message; the token is replaced by its
current variable value in the constructed message. For details, see “Customizing
Message Templates” on page 79.
