Viewing Notifications

Click the Notifications link in the navigation menu to see all active and historical notifications associated with your organization’s services, over the past 30 days..

Notifications inform you about newly available software versions, Pulse service interruptions, outages or upcoming maintenance intervals, any actions users need to perform and other and other relevant communications.

The following information is displayed for each notification record:

  • Planned/Unplanned: Indicates whether the outage is planned or unplanned. For example, a scheduled outage for maintenance or a new software release is a planned outage.

  • Event Type: Indicates the type of event in question. Examples include:

    • New Software Release, announcing a new release of Oracle Pulse software.

    • Proactive Maintenance, announcing a scheduled maintenance outage to proactively address issues.

  • Description: Provides a full description of the event in question, typically including the event date, the start and end times, the systems or areas affected, the reasons for the event, and any other relevant details.

  • Date: Shows the date when the notification was created. The event date is listed in the description.

You can filter the records on the Notifications dashboard using one of the following options in the list in the upper left corner of the page:

  • Active notifications have not yet reached their expiry date.

  • Historical notifications have passed their expiry date, and were issued in the past 30 days.

Your Oracle SDM manages all your notifications, creating the necessary messages and setting an expiry date for each notification.

Once you sign in to Oracle Pulse, all active notifications for your organization's services are displayed by default. Notifications are ordered by the creation date, which is listed in the upper right corner. You can also scroll down to see earlier active notifications.

By selecting the Do not show again icon at the top right hand side of your notifications, you can ensure they are not displayed the next time you sign in.
