Notification Message not Sent from OpenVMS Server


On an OpenVMS notification server, a parameter alerts and creates a NOTIFY_EVENT but the notification message is not sent.

Explanation

Solution

The message subject line or body text contain too many characters.

Shorten the subject line to 80 characters or less and the body text to 255 characters or less. In OpenVMS, the subject line of a mail message is limited to 80 characters and the e-mail message body is limited to 255 characters. If you exceed these limits, notification messages may not be sent. For more information, see Using Notification Scripts.

The notificiation rules are not configured properly.

For more information about configuring notification rules, see Configuring Notification Servers.
