   To review action history:

1. Navigate to the Review Alert History form.

2. Enter the name of the application that owns the alert and the name of the alert. Oracle Alert automatically displays the alert type, the number of days of history kept, and when the alert was last checked.

3. To narrow down the amount of history shown for your alert, you can specify a range of dates. If you do not specify a range of dates, Oracle Alert displays all actions performed for this alert for the entire period of saved history.

4. Choose Find Actions to display the Review Alert Actions window. The Review Alert Actions window displays the history of action sets that were run: the date and time when the action set completed and the Oracle ID that the action set ran against.

The Alert Actions block also displays each action member in the action set and provides details of that action.

5. If the alert action member is a message action and the message was defined in Oracle Alert, you can see a complete replicate of the message, exactly as it appeared to the recipient(s) by choosing Action Log. Oracle Alert opens a window that displays the entire message.

If the message text originated from an external file, Oracle Alert does not reconstruct the message, instead Oracle Alert displays the contents of the file.

6. If the alert action member is a concurrent program, Oracle Alert displays the date the concurrent request was started, the name of the application that owns the concurrent program, the name of the concurrent program, and any arguments that were passed to the concurrent program.

7. If the alert action member is an operating system script, the alert action Details displays any arguments passed to the script and if the script originated from an external file, the name of the file.

If the script was defined in Oracle Alert, you can see a complete replicate of the script, exactly as it was performed. Choose Action Log to display the entire operating system script in a separate window.

8. If the alert action member is a SQL statement script and the SQL statement script was defined in Oracle Alert, you can see a complete replicate of the script, exactly as it was performed. Choose Action Log to display the entire SQL statement script in a separate window.

   To review response history:

1. Choose Response in the Review Alert Actions window to see the responses received and response actions performed by Oracle Alert when reviewing history for your response processing alerts.

2. The Response History Review window shows the complete text of responses received in reply to an alert message action. Oracle Alert displays the date and time it received each response, the type of response it received (valid, invalid, or no response), and the name of the respondent. When you choose Reply Log, a window displays the entire response.

3. When you choose Action Log, a window displays the attached message action that originally solicited the response.

The message appears exactly as it was sent but includes the current version of the response text as it is defined in the Oracle Alert Options form. If you edit your response text between the time Oracle Alert sent the original message and the time you reconstruct the message, the reconstructed message will include the current version of the response text. Similarly, Oracle Alert displays output values within the currently defined Max Length settings.

4. You can review a complete record of the response actions performed by Oracle Alert when it received a particular response, if those responses are defined in Oracle Alert.

The Response Actions block displays all the actions performed for the current response received. Oracle Alert displays the name of the action, the action type, any arguments used by the action; the Oracle ID where the SQL statement was executed, if your action was a SQL script action; and the name of the file if your action originated in an external file.

Choose Action Log to open a window and display the text of the action, if the action is a message action, operating system script, or SQL statement script action that is defined in Oracle Alert. For concurrent request response actions, Oracle Alert displays the name of the concurrent program that was submitted to the concurrent manager.
