Overview of Alert Customizations

Whether you create simple or complex alerts, you can further tailor the alerts to best suit your needs. For example, you can:

create distribution lists to simplify the maintenance of your alert message recipients

improve the format of your summary messages so that they are easier to read

set a summary threshold so that you automatically get several detail messages or one summary message, depending on the number of exceptions an alert returns

create a self-referencing alert to tell you what exceptions are unique since the alert was last checked

create a periodic set so that you can check several periodic alerts at once

You can also implement other customizations, such as duplicate checking and action escalation, by saving alert history. See: Overview of Oracle Alert History.
