Setting Pop-Up Message Preferences

The Pop-Up Message Preferences page allows you to select the messages from different sub-components, that you would like to display in real-time to the user on any page in the Enterprise Manager Cloud Console.

Notification messages such as target status change and command-line broadcast messages from Super Administrators can be displayed by making appropriate setting changes on this page. By default, the pop-up messages are set to Show status.

If you want to retain the 'Show' status for these pop-up messages, you can set the Show System Broadcast sent by the super administrator using EMCLI.

This option enables you to see all the messages sent by the super administrator. By default, the messages appear on all the screens in the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Console. If you deselect this option, the messages will not be displayed on any screen.

For example, if you run the following command, a broadcast with the custom message appears on every screen of the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Console.

emcli send_system_broadcast -messageType="INFO" -toOption="ALL" -message="EM will be taken down in an hour for an emergency patch"

The messages are usually transient and last for a stipulated amount of time on a particular page. However, for command line messages, there is an added flexibility in terms of allowing the message to stay on the page until the user chooses to close it.

The following message types are supported:

  • Confirmation
  • Information
  • Warning
  • Error
  • Fatal

By default, the duration for message display is 15 seconds. You can change this value, if required. To change, specify the duration you want in the Number of seconds to show the System Broadcast field and click Save.
