You can create alerts that will be sent by your gears and handled by ATG scenarios. You can create scenarios to generate actions based on the alerts. For example, an action might cause an e-mail message to be sent to specified users and a notice to appear in the Alerts gear. As you plan your gear, you need to consider what events you would like to create alerts for and what actions you would like to be carried out.
ATG Portal alerts use Java Messaging System (JMS) as their underlying technology. The following Web location contains comprehensive information on JMS:

For complete information on setting up your gears so that they can send alerts, refer to the Adding Gear Alerts chapter of this manual. For information on scenarios, refer to the ATG Personalization Guide for Business Users.
