Using the MTUP Parameter on the NMFIND Command

If you are using the NMFIND program to directly issue a notification request, you can use the MTUP (Methods to Use Profile) parameter to specify the types of methods to use for the request. You do this by specifying the method type codes assigned to the methods to be considered for a particular notification request.

To view all currently defined method type codes assigned for all methods in the Notification Manager database, run the Notification Manager utility program, listmeth.rex. You can find this utility in the subdirectory SAMPLE\NM in your CA Automation Point installation directory. The method codes are listed as the TYP settings. For example, the following is an entry in this file.

=====================================

Method name     :       Email 1
Key             :       200001010
Tmflags        :        00000000
Use             :       TELL
Typ setting     :       E
Invoke          :       NMMAIL
======================================

The code assigned to the Email 1 method is E. You could use this value on the MTUP parameter to specify that the NMFIND attempt only active schedules whose methods are defined as method type E.

Alternatively, you can view currently defined method type codes using the Notification Website. Choose to create or modify a method and select a method name to view the method type setting. If a custom method type code was defined, that method code will be displayed.

Note: For more information on the MTUP parameter, see the Command and Keyword Reference Guide.
