Specifying Oracle Alert Options
You use the Oracle Alert Options form to define and maintain the options Oracle Alert uses when checking your alerts. This form contains five alternative regions that each contain multiple options that you can set:
- Mail Systems--to specify the mail systems you want to use with Oracle Alert to send outgoing mail.
- Oracle Office Options--to define the options and Oracle Office accounts you want Oracle Alert to use to send messages and process responses.
- Message Elements--to specify the boilerplate text you want to appear in your message actions.
- More Options--to specify other miscellaneous options for Oracle Alert.
Before you use this form to define Oracle Office for Oracle Alert, you should make certain that your Oracle Office Administrator performs the following steps:
- Installs Oracle Office in a database accessible via SQL*Net from the database in which Oracle Alert is installed, or in the same database in which Oracle Alert is installed.
- Defines an Oracle Office electronic mail ID from which all Oracle Alert messages will be sent.
- Notifies you of the Oracle Office electronic mail ID, the remote password, and the network connect string, if necessary, for accessing the Oracle Office database from Oracle Alert.
Note: Oracle Alert-specific options appear only in the Oracle Alert Options form. Profiles options that are common to all Oracle Applications appear in the Personal Profile Values and System Profile Values forms. See: Overview of User Profiles. See: Profile Options in Oracle Application Object Library.
