Using eSync with Web Alerts

The Web Alert feature enables Ektron CMS400.NET to generate email for a list of registered users whenever new content appears on your site, or existing content is updated. For more information, see Administering the Web Alert Feature.

In an eSync environment, you need to determine which servers send Web Alerts. For example, Web Alerts should probably not be generated when content is published on a staging server, but you would want them when content is published on a production server.

To determine if a server generates Web alerts, use the following property of each Web site’s web.config file.

<add key="ek_DisableWebAlerts" ..... />

Set the property’s value to true to suppress Web Alerts on a server.

Set the property’s value to false to generate Web Alerts to on a server.

Also, the server clock on the download side of the eSync relationship must be exactly the same time as or slightly ahead of the clock on the sending server.
