How It Works

Notifications use inputs, such as counts from Watchlists or data collected through orchestrations, and apply rules to decide whether a notification message should be dispatched to subscribers. You define what these inputs are, assign them default values if necessary, or allow subscribers to override the inputs so that they can receive notifications more specific to their needs. For example, you might have a notification for when a customer exceeds their credit limit and you allow subscribers to identify specific customers that they want to monitor.

You can use variables and shortcuts in the notification message to give the subscriber more specific information and direct access to an application, enabling the subscriber to respond to the information quickly.

As you create a notification, you define whether it should be unique for each subscriber or if one uniform message to all subscribers meets your business needs.

You can create three types of notifications based on what you are trying to accomplish. The Orchestrator Studio is the tool that you use to create all three types of notifications:

• Simple Notification. A simple notification provides a way to send reminders or updates and include shortcuts to applications in a notification message. This type of message is not dependent on any business event tied to the data in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

• Watchlist-based Notification. A notification based on a Watchlist enables you to use existing Watchlists to send notification messages that include threshold levels, counts, and application shortcuts to subscribers.

• Orchestration-based Notification. A notification based on an orchestration enables you to use all of the functionality available in an orchestration and proactively deliver the data to subscribers in a notification message.

  You can also create a notification step within an orchestration.
