Mail Destination Table

The IOA Shout facility allows the user to specify messages to be sent to particular destinations upon the occurrence of specified events. These events include to mail destinations and distribution lists.

These situations are handled by defining e-mail addresses and distribution lists in a Mail Destination table. The Mail Destination table consists of a site‑defined list of logical e-mail destination names and e-mail distribution lists. For each logical, or group, e-mail destination name, a list of e-mail address destinations is defined.

Multiple Mail Destination tables can be defined, one of which is defined as the default. This Mail Destination table is loaded when the product‑specific monitor, such as the Control‑M monitor, is started. A different Mail Destination table can be loaded using operator command.

Note: Shout messages are directed by the product‑specific monitor to the Mail Destination table in memory.

When a change is made to the Mail Destination Table in memory, and it is desired that the change be implemented immediately, the table is reloaded into each product’s memory. For information about loading and reloading Mail Destination tables in memory, see IOA Administration.
