Issue/Introduction

How can I limit the number of lines in emails generated by GOA scripts?

Environment

Vantage

Resolution

Instructions: 

The GOA script emails of data is limited to 1000 lines. This results in writing in the SYSLOG the following message:

VAN1584I The Vantage email line limit of 1000 has been reached. Email lines after this limit are ignored

To avoid the default of the 1000 data lines limit and get the entire data in the email created by a GOA script, you need to use direct TCP communication with the SMTP interface instead of the spool interface to send emails. 

You need to do the following when using the Windows Client (similar steps can be taken using the Web Client):

1) Using the Vantage GUI Windows Client HCC (Host Configuration Client) select the VKGPARMS:

2) Specify the SMTPHOST and SMTPPORT VKGPARMS parameters with your site definition. 

3) If no emails are received, add the SMTPDOMN parameter to VKGPARMS

4) As soon as you save the change using the HCC, the REFRESH of VKGPARMS will be initiated.

5) FIRE your GOA script manually to check that you get the entire data in your email.
