Answer 1

Endeca Does not provide OOTB mail notification of activate/deactivate rule across all versions.

Email functionality available in config xml files there you can add scrits to trigeer email.

Answer 2

Add following xml node in Dataingest.xml under config/script folder:-

<custom-component id="Mailer" class="com.endeca.esource.dtmailerutility.MailNotificationComponent" host-id="ITLHost">
<properties>
<property value="${mailer.smtpHost}" name="smtpHost"/>
<property value="${mailer.srcAddr}" name="srcAddr"/>
<property value="${mailer.destAddr}" name="destAddr"/> 
</properties>
<directories>
<directory name="savedMsgDir">./logs/saved_msgs</directory>
</directories>
</custom-component>

Then in your baseline java beanshell script you could call out something like to pass in the subject and body of the email message:

Mailer.sendExceptionMsg("Error running Baseline Update", e);

As you've probably already done, you need to make sure the Mailer .jar is on your classpath via the ./control/runcommand.bat file
