Field Descriptions

Transaction: To control the list of alerts being displayed, enter an actual transaction name or a generic transaction name. Generic character asterisk (*) can be used to list all alerts for all transactions or to limit the list of alerts to a generic group of transactions.
State: To reduce the list of alerts to a specific state, enter the state of the alerts to be displayed. You can enter a valid state code, the first letter of the state code plus an asterisk, or an asterisk alone to see all states of alert. Valid state codes are listed in State Code Descriptions.

Column Descriptions

Al. No.

Displays the alert number, which is the sequence number of the alert entry created for this transaction.

For example, Al.No. 3 indicates that it is the third alert that was created for the selected transaction. If more than one alert exists and you want to delete the alert for this transaction, each alert must be individually deleted by using line command D.
