Write to File Notification Distribution Method
The write to file notification is written to a text file when the configured notification condition is met.
You can use the write to file notification distribution method, for example, to trigger a third-party software program that sends an SMS to a recipient when a specific text string is written to the file by a SmartStruxure server. For more information, see Create Notification Wizard - Configure Write to File Page .
You can configure whether new information is appended to the existing file, overwrites the current content of the file, or if it is written to a unique file. By default, new information is appended to the existing file. If the file does not exist, a new text file is created.
The text file is saved in the Building Operation database folder: '...db/notifications'. You can access the notification file from the WorkStation 'System' folder, 'Notification files' subfolder of the SmartStruxure server where the file was generated. You can open the notification file with a text editor installed on the computer.
You can save the file to a different location and rename it. You can also delete the notification file.
When you delete the notification file, it is deleted from the physical device.
