Creating a new notification template

To create a new notification template definition, you perform the following steps.

All steps are optional unless noted as mandatory.
  1. To access the Notification Template Configuration tab from WebSphere® Application Server administrative console, go to WebSphere Business Monitor > Adaptive Action Manager > Template Definitions > Notification.
  2. Click New.
  3. In the Template name field, type a unique template name. This attribute is mandatory.
  4. In the Description field, type a template description.
  5. From the Action service Type options, select the required action service: Alert, Cell Phone, Email, or Pager.
  6. In the To (LDAP Query) field, type the LDAP formatted query to retrieve the set of users intended to receive this notification, using variables.
  7. In the Subject field, type the notification subject, using variables. These variables map to Common Base Event data fields and are identified with surrounding percent signs (%CBEVARIABLE%). The escape character to display a percent sign is #. ( #% is evaluated as %, and ## is evaluated as #.)
  8. In the Body field, type the notification body, using variables.
  9. In the LDAP Root field, type the distinguished name for the root of the LDAP search query.
  10. Click Apply or OK to save the entered settings.
