Alerts

As an administrator, you can perform an action based on an event that occurred or did not occur. The Alert pages are only displayed on MFT Command Center. There are three types of alerts:

Alert	Action Performed Based On
Logon Alerts	A user logging in.
Transfer Alerts	A transfer completed, either successfully or unsuccessfully.
Non-Transfer Alerts	A transfer not completed successfully.

Up to five actions can be performed for an alert that matches the trigger criteria:

1. Send an email.

2. Execute a Java class.

3. Execute a command (locally or on a target Platform Server).

4. Send an SNMP trap.

5. Send a JMS message to a topic or queue.

The rights required to view and update servers are:

Delegated Administration

Administration can be delegated to alert definitions assigned to a department in the following ways:

• Users with the required rights that are not assigned to a department.

• Users with the required rights that are assigned to this department or can manage this department.

  Note: Users assigned to a department with the necessary rights can add or update alerts but cannot define the alert action: Execute Command.
