Runtime Alerts

Alert messages are generated directly from Unwired Orchestrator when the runtime engine suspends or shuts down. A runtime alert message uses a standard format and is configured to generate an email message to a user-defined email address.

Business Process Alerts

Alert messages are generated directly from Unwired Orchestrator based on user-defined conditions for a business process. The alert message format and target destination are also user-defined. For example, if a business process contains an activity to check inventory, a business process alert can be configured to generate an alert message if inventory is insufficient.

Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) Alerts

Alert messages are generated from the BizTracker monitoring and auditing component. In this case, a process probe sends a probe message for tracking by BizTracker.
