Shout destination management

A shout is a notification of the job's status. There are two types of shouts. Shouts that are sent out before a job ends, and shouts that are sent out after a job ends. For example, in Control-M, after you create a job, you can assign a shout to the job to indicate if the job's running time is delayed. When you assign a shout to a job, you also need to assign a destination to it. In Control-M, after you created the job and assigned a shout to it, you assign the destination you want the shout to be sent to, such as log.

In the Shout Destination Manager, you can define the destinations you want the shouts to go to. Shout destinations are grouped in tables to enable you to define specific destinations for the shouts and to send the shouts to a number of destinations.

Each shout destination table can contain a number of destinations. You can create any number of shout destination tables, but only one of them can be designated as the active shout destination table at any given time. If you set the destination table as active, the shouts are sent only to the destinations you specified in that table. If you change the designation of the active table, you change the delivery of the shouts to different destinations you defined in the other table.

The following procedures describe how to create edit, delete, and set shout destination tables and shout destinations.

You can also use following utilities to manage shout destinations:
