Issue/Introduction

Steps to enable debug logging for the CA PPM Email Notification process. Before proceeding please check in the CSA if "Detect Log Configuration Changes Automatically" flag is checked or not. If this setting is not checked please review the steps below first as we require you to stop and start the BG and APP services for logging to take effect.

i.   If "Detect Log Configuration Changes Automatically" flag is NOT checked stop and start the BG and  APP services

2) Generate email notification by running a process with Action Items or schedule report with notification on completion.
 
3) Do it a few times on different application to kick start emails to be sent out
