Configure advanced rulesets for automated generation of additional email notifications
beyond the simple announcement of transfer events. IBM Aspera Console checks
configured rulesets whenever a transfer starts, completes successfully, or errors out for the
final time (the transfer runs out of retries or Console detects a transfer that was supposed
to retry but never did). If the transfer matches the ruleset, Console sends an email
notification to the designated recipients.
