3.4.9 Evaluating the status notification method

You evaluate the method to be used to provide notification of system and task status.

JP1/AO monitors task status changes and the JP1/AO system's operating status and periodically issues JP1 events. If you link your JP1/AO with JP1/IM - Manager, you can check the issued JP1 events in a window of JP1/IM - View.

You can also set JP1/AO to send email notification to the service administrator when task errors and failures are detected.

The service administrator must consider the operation in evaluating the items listed below that are related to the notification method.

Table 3‒5: Evaluation items related to the notification method
Notification method	Item	How to specify
JP1 event notification	Whether JP1 event notification is to be used	user-specified properties file (`config_user.properties`)
Email notification	Whether email notification is to be used	Shared built-in service properties
	SMTP server's IP address or host name
	SMTP server's port number
	User ID and password for logging in to SMTP server
	Email sender (`FROM`)
	Email recipients (`TO`, `CC`, `BCC`)
	Number of reties and retry interval in the event of an email notification error	user-specified properties file (`config_user.properties`)
	Subject line and text message for email notification	Email notification definition file Japanese environment: `mailDefinition_ja.conf` English environment: `mailDefinition_en.conf` Chinese environment: `mailDefinition_zh.conf`

After you install JP1/AO, you can specify the notification method items by using the user-specified properties file (config_user.properties), the email notification definition file (mailDefinition_ja.conf, mailDefinition_en.conf, or mailDefinition_zh.conf), or the shared built-in service properties in a window.
