How to Manage Messages

To control message delivery and automation actions, you define rule sets and rules. After you define the rule set, you activate it by associating it with an active system image.

Note: Besides managing messages, rule sets can also execute rule set initialization actions and timed actions.

Note: For more information about defining rule sets, see the Administration Guide.

Control Message Delivery

You use rule sets and their rules to control the delivery of messages. You can specify the following actions for selected messages:

• Suppress the delivery of messages
• Specify to where messages should be delivered
• Specify how repeating messages are handled

Note: For information about how to define rule sets and message rules, see the Administration Guide.

Automate Actions in Response to Messages

You use message rules to automate actions that are dependent on the arrival of certain messages. You can:

• Modify the delivered message
• Execute commands and processes

Note: For information about how to define message rules and message group rules, see the Administration Guide.
