Enabling and Disabling Notifications

By default, notifications are enabled. As an administrator, you can enable or disable notifications. You can set notifications to operate in any of the following modes:

• Always enabled

• Always disabled

• User enabled (default)

This task is a step in "Process of Administering Notifications".

To enable or disable notifications for a Siebel application 

1. Navigate to the Administration - Server Configuration screen, then the Enterprises view.

2. From the Enterprise Servers list, select the enterprise server that runs the Siebel application with the notification settings you want to modify.

3. Navigate to the Component Definitions view, and select a component with a Component Type value of Application Object Manager.

4. In the Component Parameters list, select the Application Message Bar Flag parameter, and type the appropriate value in the Value field.

   For details on how to configure the server component, or Siebel Application Object Manager, parameters, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

   The parameter values are described in the following table.

   Parameter Value	Comments
   TRUE	Specify this value if you want to always enable notifications. For a value of TRUE, users cannot disable notifications. For a Siebel Web Client deployment, the Siebel Application Server relays messages to users. For Mobile Web Client users, messages are synchronized. For a value of TRUE, you can use the Application Message Bar Update parameter to specify the refresh rate for the notification pane. Modify the Value field of the Application Message Bar Update parameter. The default value is 120 seconds. If the update interval is less than the SessionTimeout set in the CFG file of the Siebel application, then sessions never time out.
   FALSE	Specify this value if you want to always disable notifications. For a value of FALSE, the Notification icon and notification panes do not appear on the screens of users. For a Siebel Web Client deployment, the Siebel Application Server does not relay messages to users. For Mobile Web Client users, messages are not synchronized.
   User Enabled	Specify this value if you want users to enable or disable notifications in their user preferences. If a Web client user disables notifications, then the Siebel Application Server does not relay messages to the user. If a Mobile Web Client user disables notifications, then messages are not synchronized. For a value of User Enabled, the update interval is a user preference. For more information about this user preference, see Siebel Fundamentals XREF. If the update interval is less than the SessionTimeout set in the CFG file of the Siebel application, then sessions never time out.
