How to Pass Parameters to Alert Delivery Transaction

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I see that within an alert you can specify a Delivery Transaction, which executes when the alert is raised.  How do you pass parameters to that transaction dynamically at run-time (like perhaps values from the Container Properties)?  Or, is this even possible?  As far as I can determine, only static parameters can be configured to the Delivery Transaction at design-time.

I am using MII 14 SP5.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Dave

Hi Dave

Your Delivery Transaction you should have an XML Input Property.

In Alert Configuration select the transaction and click Import Parameters. All input params would be listed. The one with type XML you click the check box "Assign Alert".

When the alert is raised at runtime all the alert details including runtime params etc would be passed to the transaction. You need to read the relevant information from the xml in your delivery transaction and act accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Partha!

Does exactly what I needed and hoped.  The alerting framework is pretty handy!
