Configure Oracle Trace File Analyzer to send an email to the registered email address after an automatic collection completes.

1. To set the notification email to use for a specific ORACLE_HOME, include the operating system owner in the command:

   tfactl set notificationAddress=os_user:email

   For example:

   tfactl set notificationAddress=oracle:some.body@example.com

2. To set the notification email to use for any ORACLE_HOME:

   tfactl set notificationAddress=email

   For example:

   tfactl set notificationAddress=another.body@example.com

3. Configure the SMTP server using tfactl set smtp.

   Set the SMTP parameters when prompted.
