Creating and Activating a Draft Version

Use

This document describes what you need to do if you want to create versioned notifications locally in PCo.

Procedure

1. Create a draft version

   You can add the draft version of a versioned notification to a stopped agent instance or a running agent instance. (See: Adding a Draft Version.)

2. Select subscription items

   For versioned notifications, the subscription items are assigned to the individual notification version and not to the entire agent instance. Only the subscription items that are assigned to the current notification version are active. Therefore, you maintain the subscription items only after you have created the draft version of the versioned notification. Using a pushbutton, you can switch from the Notification tab of a notification version directly to the assigned subscription items. (See: Subscription Items Tab.)

3. Define triggers

   You define the trigger conditions on the Notification tab. (See: Notification Tab.)

4. Make settings for message delivery

   You specify how you want PCo to deliver notification messages. (See: Message Delivery Tab.)

5. Define output expressions

   You define the tags and the context elements that you want to be output in the notification messages. Context elements are pieces of additional business information that you can add to the individual output expressions. (See: Output Tab.)

6. Define destination systems

   You add one or multiple destination systems to which you want notification messages to be sent. (See Destinations Tab.)

7. Activate a draft notification

   You activate the draft notification by choosing the Activate Draft Versioned Notification pushbutton on the Notification tab. (See: Functions for Versioned Notifications.)

Result

The versioned notification can now be used for sending notification messages. The status Current is displayed in the Version field.
