The Unicenter MP Notification component lets users view notifications sent to them or the workgroups to which they belong.
Note: Notifications sent to a specific workgroup are received only by the members of that group. Even if you are a member of a workgroup that is superior in the user hierarchy to the specified group, you will not receive the notification unless the notification is targeted to you. For example, a notification sent to members of the TNDUsers workgroup is received by the members of the TNDUsers group, but not by members of the admin workgroup, even though the admin workgroup is superior in the user hierarchy.
A notification contains the following properties:
Specifies the severity level of the notification (Normal, Warning or Critical).
Specifies the time when the notification was sent.
Specifies the notification text.
Specifies a category to group the notifications.
Links to more information about the notification.
Specifies the workgroup or user name to which the notification is sent.
To send a notification to Unicenter MP, an integrated application must invoke the Unicenter MP notification utility java class. With the automatic responding facility, you can set up the Unicenter Event Manager to send the notification to Unicenter MP when it receives certain types of event messages.
Notifications are saved in the MDB. By default, the notifications never expire. However, by using Task 7: Manage Unicenter Management Portal Properties in the Administration Wizard, you can set the expiration time in hours. Unicenter MP automatically removes a notification once it expires.
A predefined notification (My Notifications) is published at Library, Enterprise Management, Notifications. The My Notifications link is also in the My Unicenter workplace in the My Unicenter menu. This link shows all notifications sent to the workgroup that the current user belongs to.
Another predefined notification (UM Portal Notifications) is published at Library, Enterprise Management, Notifications. The link is accessible for admin users only. This notification shows those notifications sent from various Unicenter MP components that report their status.
Through the predefined UM Portal Notifications notification, you can create and publish a notification with a filter on the notification properties.
