Enabling New Version Notifications

SailPoint publishes updates to the File Access Manager from time to time, as new releases, minor releases, and software patches.

When updates are available, the application can send an email to the File Access Manager administrator to notify you of the update. This feature is disabled by default.

To enable this feature:

1. Update the database with the email address which the notification mail will be sent to, by running the following update statement:

   update [whiteops].[system_configuration_value] set [value] = N'[ENTER DESIRED eMAIL HERE]' where [name] = N'New Version Message To'

2. From the Scheduled Task Handler service server, edit the file %SAILPOINT_HOME%\FileAccessManager\ScheduledTaskHandler\ScheduledTaskHandlerServiceHost.exe.config.

3. In the appSettings section, change the newVersionCheckIntervalInMinutes, from -1 (which means, do not check for new versions) to a desired check interval (in minutes). Save the file and close it.

4. Restart the Scheduled Task Handler service.

After the service restart, an email will be sent to this address when a newer version is available to download from Compass.
