Notification - Redundant Keys

Question:
I have the latest BPMC installed and I noticed that two Notification Keys from the CONST_SYS Table no longer exists. There use to be 4, but now there's only two. The following two are missing.
  • NotifcationSystemMailAccount
  • NotificationUser
So the question is, did these get removed in one of the recent BPMC Packs? If so, why?

Answer:
There only 2 keys that are needed to set up BPMC Notification:
  • NotificationEnabled - This equals 1 or 0. 1 mean active, 0 means inactive
  • NotificationMailProfile - This is the SQL mail profile name BPMC routes its notification through. The profile needs to be manually configured in SQL Server and needs to point to valid SMTP server
The others are legacy keys and are redundant in newer versions. The reason is all the pertinent mail information (users, account, etc..) required for notification is stored in the mail profile itself. BPM Connect launches the mail profile at run time.
