The basic purpose of Notification Manager is to find and notify someone using specified methods, tell them something, and (optionally) ask them something. You can take advantage of this functionality directly from rules, from within a REXX script that you write, from a command prompt, or by using the Notification Website. Notification Manager uses five different kinds of objects to carry out this function:
Identifies you to Notification Manager that you are who you claim to be before any tasks can be carried out.
Specifies the person or group that you want to modify.
Determines the type of method to be used to notify a particular contact. Some people have numeric pagers, some alphanumeric pagers, and some no pager at all. Notification Manager allows you to use different methods of notification depending on the person you are contacting and on the current time and day.
Describe how to reach a contact during a particular block of time. For example, when a person is scheduled to be in the office you may want to send them a voice message, but when they are on the road, you may want to use a pager to contact them.
Establish and define method actions. For example, when you use a pager, the phone number of the pager service, the pager number, and the maximum length this pager service allows for messages are all parameters.
Note: Any messages generated by notification (NMFIND) requests are displayed in the CA Automation Point Notification Messages window.
