vCloud Director - Email for Lease Time Ending

Hi,

is there a posibility to change the Settings to this system generated emails by end of my lease time?

I wanted to change the time setting before the message is sent; e.g. 7 days before deletion and also the standard text.

thanks

In short, no

The text comes from messagebundle.properties from

/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/system/com/vmware/vcloud/backend-core/1.0.0/backend-core-1.0.0.jar

VAPP_UNDEPLOY_NOTIFICATION_SUBJECT={0} will stop the vApp "{1}" on {2} at {3}.
VAPP_UNDEPLOY_NOTIFICATION_BODY=You can extend the runtime lease in the properties of vApp "{0}":

I wouldn't recommend messing about with it..

You can change the notification time for a user to something other than what's in the prefernce list buy updating the deployment_lease_alert_time     storage_lease_alert_time tables within the org_member_preference table in the database.

We are wanting to change the default email as well and have notified VMware on this as well.

Yes. Max you can set is 5 days. You can change this by modifying user preferences.

Consider awarding points if you think answer is correct.

Can you describe exactly where to configure that. I'm using vCloud Director 1.5.1 and there is no user preference configuration for the time when an email is send...

Its actaully called just "Preferences". It should be on top right corner of your screen, right next to your login id. I see this in 1.5.0. I am guessing it would not have changed in 1.5.1.

Ok, i got it, but how to predefine or configure that for over e.g. more than 1000 Accounts?

Its a user configurable option. Every user needs to set it as per his/her preference. The way i have it implemented is I put it up on my user guide and let users decide when they want to be notified about lease expiration.
