Message Senders
Message senders define the details of how messages are sent to an external system, such as messages containing device command requests. A message sender should be configured for each command.
The following message senders must be configured in your system. If these are not present in your configuration, add them. Refer to the Oracle Utilities Application Framework documentation for more information about creating message senders.

How to Use Enterprise Manager to Locate the URL for the Message Sender
Follow this procedure to find the correct URL for the command associated with a message sender:
1. Open Enterprise Manager and use the navigation pane to open the dashboard of the service used by the message sender:
2. The top bar of the dashboard contains several buttons and icons. One of these is a “world” icon with a puzzle piece over it. Click this icon to display a list of the WSDLs and endpoint URIs for the service:
3. Click the service’s WSDL URL link to see the WSDL in the browser, or right click and save it to your machine.
