Installing the Notification Agent

The Notification Agent monitors server configurations to determine who needs to be notified about work to be performed and about exceptions that occur in the workflow process.

You must install and configure Notification Agent separately. It is usually installed on the computer that runs the StarTeam Server, but can be installed anywhere. When Notification Agent is not on the same computer as the Server, the two computers clocks must be synchronized. Notification Agent’s time cannot be ahead of the Server’s time. When both are installed on the same computer and run as services, Notification Agent must be run as a dependent service and be shut down first. See Running Notification Agent as a Service in the Workflow Extensions User's Guide for more information.
