• The device alarms are configured.
• The Alarm Server process is running.
• (On redundant Power Operation systems) The standby Alarm Server is running.
• Users have the correct privilege level to open Notifications Settings.
• For Notifications Settings reports: A program that can open and view CSV files.
• The Power Operation project must be compiled and running.

NOTE: You must enable 64-bit processes to run on the alarm servers . To do this: In Power Operation Studio, click Topology > Edit > Alarm Servers. For each Alarm Server you want to include (primary, or primary and standby), in the Extended Memory column, enter TRUE.

Before migrating notifications from Event Notification Module (ENM), see Migrate notifications.

Licensing

In Power Operation 2022 the Notifications Settings service runs by default, however, sending out notifications requires a Power Operation Server license and an Event Notification Module license. Without these licenses you can still open Notifications Settings to create, test, and save notification configurations. However, the notifications will not be sent.

NOTE: To verify that Notifications Settings is licensed, click Settings and Diagnostics. The server license status is indicated on the General tab.
