 Sending Messages

Messages are an adequate means for pointing attention to the results of executions. AE provides four possible ways to send messages with script elements.


Type

Description

Notification

The most common method is to activate a notification. It may be activated with the script function ACTIVATE_UC_OBJECT. Several AE users may so be informed at the same time.

SEND_MAIL

This script function may be used to send email to any number of receivers.

:SEND_MSG

This script statement is especially suitable for short info messages. The message is directly displayed in the Message Window of the particular AE user.

:SEND_SNMP_TRAP

This script statement is useful if the integration opportunities of AE are used in Frameworks. User-defined traps may be sent with it.
