Operator Properties Dialog Box
To specify that a selected notification be sent to a specific user (operator), you must add operator information defining the user to the system. Sterling Gentran:Server® uses the operator properties to send the notification to the specified operator.
The Operator Properties dialog box allows you to add an operator to the system to receive notifications and to view and modify properties for existing operators. If operator information changes (such as e-mail address), you must use this dialog box to update the operator information that defines that user to the system.
The following table describes the parts of the Operator Properties dialog box:
| Part | Function |
|---|---|
| NT User ID | Specify the Microsoft Windows User ID of the operator. Note: If
your database is case sensitive, the User ID value in this field must
use the exact case as the Microsoft Windows User ID. Otherwise, operators
will not be able to view all notifications generated to them.
|
| Name | Specify the operator name. |
| Alert Test | Sends a test Notification Log alert message to
the specified operator. Note: The specified operator must have logged
on with a valid Windows User
ID and have the Notification Log dialog box open to receive the test
alert notification.
|
| E-mail Address | Specify the operator e-mail address. |
| E-mail Test | Sends a test e-mail notification to the specified operator. This test will work with both SMTP and MAPI. |
| Numeric Pager (Phone Number) | Specify the telephone pager number at which the
operator will receive notifications. This number must include as many
commas as necessary to handle the phone pauses between dialing out
to the pager service, pausing until the pager service is ready to
receive the numeric number, for example: 9,555-5555,,,,The four commas after the number allow for the paging service voice message that plays until it is ready to receive the message. |
| Alpha Numeric Pager (E-mail Address) | Specifies the e-mail address at which the operator will receive alphanumeric pager notifications. |
| Pager Test | Sends a test pager notification to the specified operator. For alphanumeric pagers, this test will work with both SMTP and MAPI. |
