SHOUT Recommendations

BMC recommends that you use the Shout facility for exception handling (that is, when a mission fails or is late for execution). You should try to avoid sending "comforting" messages indicating that all your report decollating missions have worked successfully, as these may clutter your display and obscure any real exceptions that occur in Control-D.

The Shout facility allows you to reach out beyond the confines of your machine. Using Control-M/Links for Windows NT or another similar software tool, you can filter the Shout exception messages, and automatically issue pager requests (based on specific exceptions) to notify the relevant person of the problem.

Note: You should by now have defined report decollating missions for your pilot application.
