Sending messages to channel recipients

You can send messages to channel recipients who are currently running the Accelerated Event Notification client.

About this task

You can send messages to recipients listening on a single channel, or on multiple channels.

To send messages:

Procedure

  1. From the Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator window, select the System menu button.
  2. Click Channels. The Channels pane opens.
  3. From the Channels pane, select one or more channels that are associated with the message to be sent. You can use the Shift key for consecutive selections or the Ctrl key for non-consecutive selections.
  4. From the toolbar, click Send Message. The Send Message window opens.
  5. Type a text message in the Message Text field. This field scrolls horizontally to allow for the entry of text.
  6. Confirm or cancel your actions as follows:
    • Click OK to initiate the send action and then confirm that you want to send the message by clicking Yes.
      Note: If the Message Text field is blank, no message is sent.
    • Click Cancel to cancel the send action.

Results

The message is displayed in a message box on all relevant Accelerated Event Notification client screens. The message text word wraps at 120 characters. If you sent the message to multiple channels, a client listening on more than one of these channels receives the message once only.
