The system alert and background processing routines facilitate any actions needed to feed into FACTS programs. System alerts processing has a defined set of routines and the update interval required to perform calculations and alerts. The background processing agent is responsible for handling these updates and providing the data to the system.
The System Alerts Dashboard is used to review the alerts you are subscribed to and manage alert subscriptions. In the browser in the lower portion of the screen, the system displays the alert code and description and number of subscriptions for each.
You can highlight an alert line in the browser and click Manage Subscriptions to access the Manage Alert Subscriptions (ALE105) screen where you can add a subscription for an alert type.
You can click Alert Details to view the Details for System Alert screen, which displays the Alert code and name, an explanation of the alert and the condition that generated it, where the alert is delivered—to the user, the Exception Control Center program or both, and the available subscription values. Once you have reviewed the alert detail information, click OK to exit the screen and return to the System Alerts Dashboard.
Use the Background Process Log Viewer to view records from the Background Process Log file (SMXBLF). You can specify a particular Transaction GUID, allowing for quick research on a particular transaction or view the contents of the log file using various filters.
