About this task

To specify users to receive e-mail alerts about rule violations

Procedure

  1. In the Alerts portlet of the Add/Edit/Copy Rule page, click Add Alert.
    Important: To activate the Add Alert button you must add one or more users with a valid email address in My webMethods. For more information, see Adding Users in Working with IBM My webMethods.
    A new role is added to the Alerts table.
  2. Use the Name drop-down list to select the user to receive an alert when the rule goes out of compliance.
  3. If you want to start sending alerts to the user as soon as a rule violation occurs, select the Enabled check box. If you do not want to start sending alerts to the user at this time, clear the check box.
  4. If you want to send additional alerts to other users, or send an alert to the same user using a different method, repeat the previous steps.
  5. If you want each user to see the other users who receive the email alert, select Group Users.
    Note: When you select Group Users, the individual Enabled settings are disabled.
    All users who receive the email alert are listed on the To: row of the email.
