Specifying a Custom Alert

In addition to tracing, TIBCO Administrator allows you to specify that you wish to be alerted if certain conditions are met. This section gives one example. A detailed discussion of tracing is included in Adding a Rulebase to a Process or Service.

To specify a custom alert, follow these steps:

Procedure 

1. Choose Application Management> Timer Application > tutorial > Configuration.
2. In the Configuration Builder panel, expand the tutorial application and select the FileActivityTest.par, and then choose the Monitoring tab.

3. In the Events pane, click Add.
4. In the dialog that appears, make the following changes (shown in the next figure).

In the General pane, select First Component Failure.

In the Alert pane, select the check box next to Generate Alert.

Select the All Occurences radio button and choose the level High.

In the Message field, type First component failure - FileActivityTest.

Click OK, and then click Save.

TIBCO Administrator now displays a high-level alert with the message upon first failure of this process. If you wanted, you could also have an email sent in the event of component failure.

5. When you are returned to the Configuration Builder notice that it indicates that services require deployment. Click Deploy and the changes take effect.
