Specify the Release Automation (Nolio) server to notify when an event occurs in the Serena Release Automation rest.integration.properties file. If the file does not exist, create it.
Update the Release Automation (Nolio) environment notifications for each application to tell Serena Release Automation the events about which to notify Serena Release Manager.
