The Email Service is a system service that manages email notifications for business glossaries, scorecards, and workflows.
Enable the Email Service to allow users to configure email notifications.
The Email Service sends emails for the following notifications:
Business glossary notifications.
Scorecard notifications.
Workflow notifications. Workflow notifications include emails sent from Human tasks and Notification tasks in workflows that the Data Integration Service runs.
You can configure the service to run on multiple nodes. Designate the primary node to run the service. All other nodes are backup nodes for the service. If the primary node is not available, the service runs on a backup node.
