An alert is a message that indicates that a problem or exception has occurred for a job or SMART Folder. The Alerts Monitor enables you to manage and monitor alerts and indicate each alert's status, severity, and add notes to alerts.
Alerts can originate from the following:
Notification facility: A job or SMART Folder processing definition can include instructions in the Notify parameter to send a message to the Alerts window.
Jobs ending not OK: The AlertOnAbend and DownCreAlerts system parameters, can automatically generate alerts when a job terminates with an Ended Not OK status.
A communication breakdown (for example, between Control-M/Server and Control-M/EM) generates an alert.
Batch Impact Manager, which can be used to relay messages of special importance.
You can only view alerts for the jobs and SMART Folders that you are authorized to view.
