Notification Phrase Syntax

You insert notification phrases in message templates and email reply messages using the following macro syntax:

@{notification_phrase[code].phrase}

code

Specifies the unique Code value, such as ConfidentialNotice, of the Message Phrases (usp_notification_phrase) table.

Note: The usp_notification_phrase table lists common phrases that notification message templates can use. For information about the usp_notification_phrase table, see the Technical Reference Guide.

For example:

@{notification_phrase[IncidentURL1].phrase}

@{notification_phrase[RequestReply].phrase}

When CA SDM locates the macro, the phrase text from the usp_notification_phrase table replaces the syntax. If no matching code exists (or if it is inactive), an empty string replaces the macro. No errors are written to the standard log (STDLOG), instead a warning message is logged to help you resolve potential problems.

Note: Embeding phrases within other phrases is limited to a maximum depth value that you configure by setting the NX_MAX_EXPAND_DEPTH environment variable. This limitation prevents problems which can occur when processing phrases that are accidentally self-referenced (embed themselves) or circular-referenced (when a phrase embeds a phrase into which it is embedded).
