Configuring contract expiration notification policy

Asset Management Suite includes the automation policies that send an email notification 30, 60, or 90 days before a contract is due to expire. The reminder that runs before the expiration date gives you enough time to create an efficient migration and replacement strategy.

Note that the Software License configuration item type uses the base configuration item type of Contract and therefore has an expiration date. The automation policy also sends out notification email when a software license is about to expire.

For more information, see the topics about managing automation policies in the Symantec Management Platform Help.

To configure a Contracts expiring in the next N days automation policy

  1. In the Symantec Management Console, on the Manage menu, click Automation Policies.

  2. In the automation policies list, click one of the following:

    • Contracts expiring in the next 30 days

    • Contracts expiring in the next 60 days

    • Contracts expiring in the next 90 days

  3. Specify the settings of an automation policy.

  4. To edit input parameters, click Edit input parameter.

  5. In the Edit Job/Task Input Parameters dialog box, in the To box, specify the required data, and then click OK.

    Note that by default the automation policies are configured to send the notifications to the system administrator. However, you can configure an automation policy to send a notification email to the contract owner.

    See Configuring contract expiration notification policy to send an email notification to the contract owner.

  6. Click Save changes.

  7. Click Test Automation Policy.

    If the automation policy works correctly, it sends an email to the email address that you specified.

  8. Click Turn on.
