Developers are the intended audience for this document.


The process of creating and using alerts involves a series of steps right from defining the structure for alerts, to having an interface for using them and routing them to appropriate consumers. Also, the alert system mechanism is capable of managing culture-specific descriptive text within the messages.

The process of defining and using alerts has been described below.

  1. Define alerts using a Message Repository which is an XML file (example, Cordys.Integrator.Messages.xml) and place the same in the <Process Platform Installation Directory>\<localization folder>.
  2. Generate the corresponding Message class using the Message Generator tool. Refer Generating Messages from Repository for more information.
  3. Once the message classes are generated, use them to define Process Platform alerts on a managed component and publish them.
