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.

Important:

When you delete the notification file, it is deleted from the physical device.

To save a notification written to a file

  1. In WorkStation, in the System Tree pane, expand the System folder.

  2. Expand the Notification Files folder.

  3. In the List view, select the notification file you want to save to a different location.

  4. On the Actions menu, click Save as .

  5. In the Save As dialog box, select the folder where you want to save the notification file and type a name for the file.

  6. Click Save .

You can now attach the notification file to an email message or save it to an external storage device.
