Reviewing Alert Checks
You can review alert check information by using the Review Alert Checks window in the Review Alert History form. Oracle Alert saves alert check information regardless of whether you save history for an alert.
Before you can review any alert check information for an alert, you must first save history for the alert for at least one day and have Oracle Alert check that alert.
To review alert check information:
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. You can enter a range of dates if you want to narrow your review of alert checks to a particular period of time. If you do not specify a range of dates, Oracle Alert displays the information for all the alert checks made for this alert for the entire period of saved history.
4. Choose Find Checks to display the Review Alert Checks window.
5. If the alert is a periodic alert that was checked on demand, the Requestor field displays the username of the application user who requested the alert check. If the alert is a periodic alert that was submitted by the Periodic Alert Checker, the Requestor field displays the username of the application user who started the concurrent manager. If the alert is an event alert, the Requestor field displays the username of the application user who caused the event.
6. The Review Alert Checks window also displays the date and time when the alert check completed, the concurrent request ID for the alert check, and the status of the alert check. The possible statuses are:
- Completed--The alert check is complete
- Running--Oracle Alert is currently checking the alert
- Pending--The alert is in the concurrent queue waiting to run
- Error--The alert check did not complete successfully
7. The History Purge Date field displays the date on which the Periodic Alert Checker purged the history for this alert. If no date appears, then the history was not purged for this alert.
8. Choose Request Log from the Special menu of the Review Alert Checks window to view the complete log file of the check request.
9. The Action Set Checks block displays the history of the action set checks performed for each alert check. The history includes the name of the action set that was checked, the Oracle ID that the action set was checked against, and the status of the action set check. In addition, this block also shows the number of exceptions found and the number of actions performed during the action set check.
