Hi Kelly. I had the same problem myself a while back. We are using 10.7SC
so the steps maybe a little different depending on what version you are
using. To fix this go into the Alert -> Define screen from the Alert
Manager GUI responsibility. Query the Alert in question and hit the Alert
Details button. Next click on the list box on the Alert Details screen.
You should have 3 items in the list box to choose from: Inputs, Outputs, and
Installations. Select Installations and you should now be at the screen
where you can disable the Alert for APPLSYS. Please let me know if you have
any questions!

Subject: RE: Alerts
I haven't been involved in the implementation, but the basic
principle is that you have whatever email address you want set-up
on the exchange server, and in the home directory of the user
that would normally receive the alert emails on the unix box, you edit
a .forward file in that directory and tell it to email someone on the
exchange server.
The HP-UX server talks to the Exchange server via SMTP. That means
that you need to have the Internet Mail Connector setup on the
Exchange Server.

First make sure Alert is sending mail via unix sendmail.
in the sendmail.cf (configuration) file you need to make sure that you are
set up to talk to MSExchange and also define the location of an aliases
file.
My sendmail.cf file contains the following:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSsmtp:cuexchange.consumer.org
# location of alias file
OA/usr/lib/aliases
(check your sendmail documentation, your system may be slightly different)
then you need to create/edit the aliases file and include all of your email
addresses: i.e. if a users email address in exchange is jdoe@company.com,
then your unix alias should look something like jdoe:jdoe@exchange ((unix
username):(exchange address).(exchange servername)".
Once you have entered all of your aliases, you need to build the alias
database. You do this by running newaliases.
Check you manuals for sendmail, newaliases & aliases

Subject: RE: Alert: Alert Scheduler Question
We have an open tar with support as well, but I was able to make the
periodic alerts go at the correct time by going into the table alr_alerts
and setting the check_once_daily_flag 'Y' on those periodic alerts. You
will have to do this each time a new periodic alert is created. In my case
that field is null upon creation.
From: CFowler@littonapd.com
Subject: RE: Alert: Alert Scheduler Question
I left a message with WWS yesterday regarding the check_once_daily_flag.
Their response was to run the following script:
update alr_alerts
set check_once_daily_flag'Y'
where check_once_daily_flag is NULL
and alert_condition_type'P'
and seconds_between_checks is NULL
and check_start_time is not NULL;
I ran the script yesterday and my Alerts ran at their actual scheduled times
this morning.
WWS also said that this script just corrects those Alerts that have a null
value for the check_once_daily_flag, but does stop the problem from
happening in the future. They said to check the version for aleppe.lc and
that is should be 50.38. If not, to request patch 327669 to bring aleppe.lc
up to that version.
Once I have a final solution I will post an update as to what, if any, the
final resolution is.

From the Alert Manager Responsibility, navigate to
System, Options.
Verify that Unix sendmail is check IN USE and Oracle

Also verify that the Command is correct. (On Unix

You can't create a trigger on a view, which is what an event alert is doing,
but you could create the alert on a table, then use a view in the actual
SQL. For example you could create an event alert that will fire on
insert/update to AP_INVOICES, which has the select statement looking at
MY_VIEW instead of AP_INVOICES. So, if you know which table gets inserted
or updated for the event you want to track, but it is easier to get your
data from a view, you can do this, as long as you can tie :ROW_ID back to
the table.

Hi Innamuri,
To setup alerts:
1) \N, Definitions, Options - enable your mail server
2) \N, Definitions, Installations - setup your application (if not
already there)
3) \N, Alert, Define - Define your alert sql select, timing, inputs,
outputs, etc
4) \N, Actions, Define - your alert actions - subject, body, file
attachments, to list, cc list etc
5) \N, Actions, Sets - setup the action set for the alert - the type
of alert - "message"
6) \N, Schedule - schedule your Periodic Alert Scheduler - this drives
the process that kicks-off
your alerts.
Hope this helps,

If you write an alert on GL_JE_LINES, your alert will fire once for every

I'm not sure exactly what your trying to do (and what GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS

Don't know Lotus ccMail but most modern mail systems support mail
processing rules. So set up a dummy mail account and set up a rule for
that account to cc all incoming mail to that account to your list of
final recepients. For example, most unix systems have procmail filters
that you can set to process incoming mail (assuming unix mailbox). On
Netware the Mercury mail transport has built in support for mailing lists.
