Alert forwarding triggers mail notification

Hi.
I have configured a new product connector to forward alerts from SCOM to JIRA. The connector works fine, but every time I forward an alert to connector using "Forward to" command from alert context menu, it triggers mail notification subscription
when connector processes alert. The connector code does not modify alert in any explicit way: just retrieves alerts using GetMonitoringAlerts method of connector and then acknowledges recieved alerts with AcknowledgeMonitoringAlerts call (see code snippet
below). At the same time I can see "Alert modified by user" comment added to alert's history at forwarding time. Mail notification subscription is configured to pick up all critical alerts with "New" resolution state.
Is this an expected behaviour? I don't really want to spam operators with unnecessary mail every time an alert gets forwarded to an external system. Any ideas what can cause the issue and how to avoid it?
Thanks!
while( $true )
$alerts = $conn.GetMonitoringAlerts()
if ($alerts.Count -gt 0)
$conn.AcknowledgeMonitoringAlerts($( Get-Date ))
foreach( $alert in $alerts )
.... send alert info to JIRA ...
Start-Sleep 60
Gleb.

The way I see it the call acknowledgeMonitoringAlerts change something in the alert without changing the resolution state. Scom process every even on every change so it get re-submit to all the subscription rule. Since the resolution state
is still "new", it send a new email.
You got 2 choice :
1- you do not update the alert when you transfert it
or
2- In you script you update the resolution state of the alert to something else (not "new").

Alert is triggered but notification is not sent GC 12C

Hi,
I have created custom monitoring templates and applied them to target group and create notification rule and subscribed to it. Tested email from GC and it works fine. I see the tablespace alert is triggered and I can see it in GC - but it does not create any incident or send any notification.
Please let me know if you have any clues.
Thanks
-Sumathy

Hi Sumathy,
Make sure that you have subcribed to an incident rule that matches the state (e.g. critical or warning severity) of the alert. Note that the out-of-box "Incident creation Rule for metric alerts" rule only applies to critical severity by default.
If necessary, see the following doc to troubleshoot notification issues.

How create mail alert without triggering the event.

1. SR 3-4924626351: How create mail alert without triggering the event.
We wanted to send alert mail every 10 days or 15 days or 1 month to a reporting manager of Opportunity Owner with details of that Opportunity. I don’t want to use any triggering of event like the Following. When new opportunity is created When modified Opportunity is saved etc.

Raju,
If you don't want to use the triggering event, you will have to do this manually.
Manually:
- Create a Web Link on the SR with and embed the mailto: function with the receivers email and subject and body embedded in the url (you can find this link on Google)
- When this link is clicked, an email window will open with all the details you provide, and you can click the send button to send the email.
- You will have to do this manually every 10-15 days or whatever is the duration
Auto:
- Create a time based workflow on a new Opportunity Created event
- create a action to send an email notification to the concerned person (details in the workflow properties)
- This workflow will auto send an email every 10-15 days to the opportunity Manager.
The time based workflow is the best option I see. Do you see any issue/ concerns with auto generated emails?
Hope this helps!

No Server Name displyed in mail notification Alert generated by "total CPU Utilization Percentage is too high" Monitor

Hello Everyone,
I need your assisstance in one of the issues with Mail Notification Alert generated by SCOM.
Mail notification received as below:
Alert: Total CPU Utilization Percentage is too high
Severity: 2
ServerName:Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard - The threshold for the Processor\% Processor Time\_Total performance counter has been exceeded. The values that exceeded the threshold are: 97.091921488444015% CPU and a processor queue length of 16.
Last modified by: System
The Alert was generated by "Total CPU Utilization Percentage"
But the problem with the above mail notification is it doesn't mentions about the affected server. So I would like to know how to tweak the monitors to provide the server name into it.
Thanks & Regards,
VROAN

E-mail notification alert not appearing

Hello,
I am running Thunderbird 24.4.0 on Windows 7. I am using no add-ons and I am only using a Gmail account with Thunderbird right now for testing.
I do not receive any new e-mail notifications. I did receive them once or twice before, but it is very random and rare when I do receive a new e-mail alert.
However when I maximize Thunderbird, it displays the new e-mail. So Thunderbird is indeed actually receiving the e-mail, it is just failing to notify me.
I have ensured notifications are enabled in the Menu Bar > Tools > Options.
I have tried using Add-ons such as:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/mailbox-alert/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/new-mail-attention/
Which also do not help display alerts. However the "new mail attention" add-on does blink the Thunderbird icon on the Windows taskbar, so at least something can notify me.
I have also tried running Thunderbird in safe mode, and running it in compatibility mode for Windows Vista, both also did not help. This appears to be a bug in Thunderbird, as I have noticed other users mentioning the same issue.

Thank you rsx11m, your suggestion seems to have fixed it! Yes I did have Gmail configured as an IMAP account. Much appreciated.

Alerts to external mail

Hi ,.
Step by step mayerial on Alerts to external mail
Regards,
radhika

hi,
Alert Configuration:- You use alert configuration to have the system informed you about the errors that occurs during message processing.
*Used for alerts that occurs at IE.
defining Alert Categories
During alert category definition, you specify the alert text, expiry time, escalation, and all other conditions related to the sending of this kind of alert.
1. Ensure that you are in change mode in the alert category definition environment (transaction ALRTCATDEF).
2. Choose Create Alert Category.
3. In the Alert Category column, enter a technical key. Choose a key that describes the situation that triggers the alert, such as CUSTCANC for a category responding to a customer cancellation. This key is language-independent and identifies the alert category. The standard namespace convention applies to the key, this means keys Z* und Y* belong to the customer name space.
4. On the Properties tab page:
a. In the Description field, enter a description for the alert category. Choose a description that is informative with respect to the content of the alert category. The description is language-dependent.
b. If required, you can select a classification in the Classification field. If you do not choose a specific classification, the category is stored in the classification folder Unclassified. For more information on classifications, see Alert Classification.
c. In the Max. No. of Dels field, specify a maximum number of times that an alert of this category is to be delivered if it is not confirmed. This refers to delivery using a communication channel other than to the recipientu2019s display program (UWL, application-specific program, or alert inbox).
d. Select Dynamic Text if the texts of the alert category cannot be defined at this stage. This refers to situations in which the texts are not known until runtime, for example when CCMS Alerts are forwarded to ALM.
No translation can be performed for alerts with dynamic text. System messages can be entered manually in several languages.
e. In the Expiry Time in Min. field, you can enter a life span for alerts of this category if the alerts will no longer be relevant after a specific period of time. If the expiry time elapses, the alert is removed from the alert inbox and is no longer delivered using any other channel.
Expiry times can be derived from various sources. Priority is given first to the data provided by the triggering application, second to the BAdI ALERT_EXP_DATE, and third to this field in the alert category definition. If none is found in any of these sources, the default expiry of 31.12.2099 applies.
f. If you wish to specify an escalation recipient, select Escalation Active and enter the escalation recipient. Also specify a tolerance time in minutes. When escalation is active for an alert category, an alert is escalated if none of the alert recipients has confirmed the alert after this tolerance time. The escalation recipient is also informed that he or she has received the alert because of an escalation.
The escalation functionality is based on the administrator report RSALERTPROC. This report has to be scheduled as a regular job. For information on this report.
5. On the Container tab page, define any variables that you may want to use in the short text or long text. You can also define other application-specific variables, such as company code or material number. These variables are then replaced at runtime with values from the application. For more information, .
6. On the Short and Long Text tab page, enter texts for the alert category. You can include text variables referring to elements of the alert container or system symbols. In the case of a container element, the variable must be defined in the alert container. The entry in the text must be in the form &<ElementName>&.
The title is used as mail title, fax subject, and alert title in the inbox. The long text is used as mail/fax body and the long text view in the inbox. The short text is used for pager and SMS.
7. On the Optional Subsequent Activities tab page, you can enter URLs for subsequent activities. If you trigger your alerts by calling a function module, you can also specify dynamic subsequent activities. For more information, see Triggering by Calling a Function Module Directly in Triggering Alerts.
8. Save your entries.
You create an alert category to use in alert rules.

Oracle Periodic Alert -Not sending Email Notifications

Hi,
I configured a periodic alert in my test and development instances. I had a SQL Query in Select Statement. When I verified the SQL Statement Oracle Alert successfully parses the SQL Statement . When I run it rows are getting selected. I defned Actions, Action Set, Action Set Details, Action Details. In the Actions Tab---> Action Details I listed out the persons to whom Mail needs to be send.
I checked the below ones...
Notification Mailer is Up
Periodic Alert Scheduler is Activated
But the notified persons are not recieving mails.
I has one more question
Is that if the Select Statement after parsing doesnt return any rows... Alert will not be triggered. if it returns 0 rows.
What else needs to be checked.. Let me know if you can sort it out...

Please post the details of the application release, database version and OS.
What is your ATG patchset level? If you are on ATG RUP4 or above, then please confirm that Oracle Workflow is configured and working properly with no issues -- Check the Workflow log file for any errors.
Is the issue with all alerts or specific ones only? Can you reproduce the issue with all end-users for the same alert or with specific users only?
Please see if these docs help.

The periodic scripts or launchd would have to send the email. I don't think you have to do anything to send mail, just receive it, you can check that from the command line:
mail [email protected]
When you finish your message put a period on a blank line and hit return, that indiecates the end of the message.
The one butt biter is that Apple puts a .forward file in all home directories that says to direct all mail to /dev/null , essentially it sends it to a black hole. You'll need to edit this file and put in your email address (if you want the email to go there) or the mails (should) wait for the user to run the mail command to read their messages.
The mail command has a fairly extensive man page:
man mail

Alerts for sending mails

Hi all;
i am configuring alerts for sending mails . i am on XI 7.0 SP 2.i am not able to find an option like internal processing in ALRTCATDEF settings configurations.
Can this be the reason why mails are not getting send.

Hi Mudit,
To send an EMAIL, assign an EMAIL ID to the corresponding user in the transaction SU01 and then set up SCOT and you can send emails when the ALERT is triggered.
Once you have configure Alerts, you will get the Alerts into ALERT INBOX in RWB of the user. To also get the email, the following needs to be done,
1. In SU01 -- Assign the Email ID for the Recipient of the ALERT.
2. In , RWB>ALERT INBOX> PERSONALIZATION--> Time Independent Delivery and Email are selected.
3. Finally, SCOT needs to be set up to send Emails. Check this for the same. You can ask your BASIS team to do this step.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/1edf098ea211d2b47300609419ed29/frameset.htm
Also, In ALRTCATDEF, go to SETTINGS--> CONFIGURATION. By default, the option selected is INTERNAL PROCESSING. Select the option SMTP FORWARDING AS XML and give the email id. This will enable you to send an email alert whenever an error occurs in XI.
Also, to test your Alerts, execute the report RSALERTTEST in SE38.

I Have No Voice Mail Notifications In Z10 Hub

I have seen issues with Voice Mail Notifications in various threads, but I didn't see one having No Voice Mail Notifications In the Z10 Hub at all. Sorry if I missed a thread that applies.
From what I was told by Blackberry Technical Support, at the bottom of the BB Hub next to "Calls", "Emergency Alerts" and "PIN", should be "Voice Mail" (or something similar). I have none and therefore do not get any notifications when I receive a Voice Message. I thought this was odd, and figured I had some settings incorrect, but that is not the case. It's just not there.
I am in the USA on Verizon's network with the latest updated OS 10.1.0.2039 that they offered on a STL100-4, Z10.
Anyone else have this issue?

My wife had the same issue on her Z10.
A quick call to customer service at AT&T and they set it up.
Rebooted her phone, and all was well.
I'm sure Verizon customer service can do this for you as well.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely -

ICloud ical e-mail notifications

My wife and I both have separate iCloud accounts. Then she subscribed to my calendar, so she can see my schedule. This works in both Lion and iOS properly, and has been working for a few months now, ever since we made the iCloud transition.
Two days ago, she started getting individual e-mail notifications about every single event I create, change, or delete in my iCloud calendar. The e-mails don't include any unsubscribe info.
Where is the preference to turn this off?

So i have question, it is possible to switch to Open directory master and current users will be OK
I would suggest you ask that question in the open directory group as they will have more practical experience in doing this. You must ensure that your forward and reverse IP address of the serve is set up correctly before doing this.
And could i use Local user database and LDAP in the same time?
Yes that us normal operation - there will always be some accounts in the local directory, but you should not put users in there.

How to customize initial secure e-mail notification message

Can we customize the initial secure e-mail notification message with a company logo or any kind of text?
The one that says:
You have received a secure message
Read your secure message by opening the attachment, securedoc.html. You will be prompted to open (view) the file or save (download) it to your computer. For best results, save the file first, then open it in a Web browser. To access from a mobile device, forward this message to [email protected] to receive a mobile login URL.
If you have concerns about the validity of this message, contact the sender directly.
First time users - will need to register after opening the attachment.

About Cisco Registered Email Service - https://res.cisco.com/websafe/about
Basically we want to put our company logo to the top of this message. We already have our company logo added in CRES that shows up when you open the securedoc.html file.
Thanks!

Nevermind, I found it.
Mail Policies > Text Resources > Add Text Resource
Set the type as Encryption Notification Template (HTML), edit the HTML and then also add one with a type Encryption Notification Template (text), edit the text. Then go into the Security Services > IronPort E-Mail Encryption > modify the Encryption profile and choose the new Text Resources created above.
Under Text Resources I was also able to create custom bounce messages with variables that display all the relevant information regarding the bounce.

E-mail notification in SRM 7.0 for Shopping Cart Workflow

Hi Gurus
We have a requirement in SRM 7.0 Process Controlled Workflow.
1. To send E-mail notification to approver Outlook / lotus notes in case of SC goes for approval.
2. Incase SC is rejected by the approver then the E-mail notification has to be send to the creator of SC.
How do we configure this E-mail Notification in SRM 7.0 . Also , how do we include Customized E-Mail text while sending these notifications.
Kindly let me know .
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Look out for this path ..
SPRO-> SRM Server-> cross application->event and event schema for alert management
in Define events look for Approval_process_doc_rejected and Approval_process_doc_approved
you can check for event control enter event Approval_process_doc_rejected Or Approval_process_doc_approved
and event category, event sub category
also...see Define receipeint of notifications -> here you can configure the receipeint in case of approval / rejection.
