piabtriggerwatch.exe is a server-side command-line program that triggers email notifications from PIAB on a routine basis. It is normally set up to run as a Windows Scheduled Task e.g. once a day. It triggers two types of email notification:

1. A document notification informing that a file hasn't been checked-in by a pre-defined date.
2. Tasks matching notification rules configured via the Plan sub-system.

In order to generate these notifications, you will need to set up a Windows Scheduled task to run 'piabtriggerwatch.exe' with credentials that have access to the 'piab' database.

piabtriggerwatch uses the SMTP settings configured using the 'PROJECT in a box Server Management' tool.

piabtriggerwatch.exe must be run in a scheduled task with the credentials of a user that has at least read access to the database and r/w access to the filesystem.

The program reads the database connection string, SMTP settings and other information from the same conig file as used by the web server application: piabws.cfg.
