The Notification Process

This section explains how the notification process works.

The Notification runtime process begins when CA Automation Point issues the single command NMFIND to initiate a notification. The NMFIND command does the following:

1. Automatically accesses the database to gather notification and individual schedule information
2. Automatically executes algorithms for multiple notification attempts, forwarding, and escalation
3. Automatically executes the appropriate notification server operations to accomplish the desired form of notification
4. Optionally provides acknowledgement of results to multiple targets

Note: For detailed information on how to set up Notification Manager, see the Administrator Guide.
