2969948 - Notification System for Certificate Renewal Is Not Received

You might not have received the email system notification from your Tenant about Certificate Renewal.

Context: the tenant certificate validity check runs in the tenant on the first day of each month, this is automatic. If the expiry date of the certificate is between 60 and 90 days before renewal, a first notification is created informing the key users that the certificate will expire soon. The renewal will happen on the first day of the following month.

From SAP side, we have delivered a background job which run on first day of every month and then it checks the expiry of the tenant certificate. If the tenant certificate is going to be expired in next 3 months then it just creates a notification to customer stating- tenant certificate is going to expire and will be renewed automatically. If the tenant certificate is going to expire in next 62 days then it will renew the certificate and raise the notification for the same.

• If a capability is to be given to the user, to subscribe for the email for a task notification, so that email notifications are received, the first BAC element should be scoped (refer to 2462503).
