Thanks Doug - yes I was aware of that.

 

Imagine this - Help Desk users would randomly create new customer
records in Incident management, and because email address was required
one time a user put zero as the email address - guess what happened.
BMC does no validation on this J  We had 100k users from CEO to store
associates - we were not happy to find this out.

You'd think a software company would think to validate user input for
their application data fields, existence of @ would have helped J

Hi,

 

No discussion on this topic would be complete without the warning that
you can also send messages to group ID's, not just names, at least on
older servers. Sending to group zero, even accidentally, emails
e-v-e-r-b-o-d-y in Public, which is basically every email address in the
user form!

 

How I learned this is not important. Anymore.

Hi,

Yes, you use Carriage Return.

It is important that no extra space is appended to the end of each
user-name.

You can specify one of these:
- LoginName
- GroupName
- EmailAddress
- * (which will send an alert to all logged in users)

You can specify email addresses with comma, in which one email will be
sent with all addresses on the To-line. If you use CR, multiple emails
will be sent. If you use comma like that, you have to make sure not to
cross the 254 character maximum length for the To-field...

I believe a Carriage Return is used when you are using user logins (!
User
login per line)

What is the correct syntax in a notify action (alert) to send to
multiple
users?
I've tried semi-colon, comma and space - but none work, it seems to be
treating it as one user account?

I've tried:
User: user1, user2
User: user1 user2
User: user1; user2

Only seems to work when I have one user listed.
