Operators
Operators are individuals who can receive notification from BaseNow
Agent upon the completion of a job. An operator is a person who is responsible
for the maintenance of one or more systems running BaseNow. The two methods
used to communicate with operators are sending e-mail messages and using
the NET SEND command (which sends a network message to the operator's
computer). You can create more than one operator in order to share responsibilities.
Your system must meet two prerequisites to make each of these methods
work.
• For
e-mail communication, you must setup a SMTP e-mail server address. You
can use the local SMTP server, such as PostCast Server (www.postcastserver.com),
or you can enter your ISP's mail server address. For more information
see: E-mail Settings.
• To
use NET SEND, you must be running Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows
XP as your operating system—NET SEND is not supported under Microsoft
Windows 95/98/ME.
New Operator
Adds information about the new operator
to BaseNow Agent.
Edit
Changes information about the existing operator in BaseNow Agent.
Delete
Deletes operator information from the BaseNow Agent.
Add or edit information about an operator
The primary attributes of an operator are name and contact information.
Because operators are individuals with changing responsibilities and job
schedules, you may need to update operator information.
Name
Every operator must have a name. Operator names must be unique and can
be no longer than 128 characters.
E-mail address
Sets the operator's e-mail address. Click the Test button to create
a test message to be sent to the operator. (You will get an error if you
did not enter an e-mail address.)
Net send address
The net send notification method specifies the recipient (computer or
user) of a network message. This method is not supported on the Windows
95/98/ME operating systems. Click the Test button to send a test message
to an operator.
Operator is available to receive notifications
To prevent this new operator from receiving notifications, clear the
Operator Is Available To Receive Notifications check box. Disabling this
option enables you to temporarily stop notifications from being sent to
an operator—for example, while the operator is on vacation. You can then
re-enable notifications by deselecting the check box when the operator
returns.
