How to programmatically detect Endeca indexing is successful (from ATG) to send an email?

Question

The requirement is that once the Baseline Index is successful, an email has to be sent to an admin automatically.

Is there any out-of-the-box feature available in ATG Endeca integration? If not, how to achieve this functionality?

Answer 1

Figured it out myself.

Extend SimpleIndexingAdmin class and override indexBaseline() method.

Answer 2

There is a mailer custom component for the AppConfig.xml that used to be available from Endeca.

Using a few lines of configuration, you can send email from anywhere in the scripts.

I do not know if Oracle still supports it.

The java class is called com.endeca.esource.dtmailerutility.MailNotificationComponent.
