Creating Your Own Invocation Programs

This section explores some specific functions of Notification Manager that are helpful when using REXX programs.

The open architecture of Notification Manager allows you to create your own REXX programs, and then specify them as the invocation strings for methods in the Notification Manager database so that they can be used when NMFIND needs to notify someone. When you create your own program, its parameters fall into the following classes:

• Architected parameters, which are the interface between NMFIND and any program it calls
• Method-specific parameters, which are unique to your program
• Runtime parameters, which need to be passed between successive calls to your code (to notify different people) by a particular invocation of NMFIND
