Send email alerts using DMWRKALR to monitor your iCluster HA environment
In the last Tech Tuesday post: Using DMMONHA to monitor your iCluster HA Environment we showed how DMMONHA can be used to automatically monitor for suspended objects, or groups that have changed their status to *INACTIVE or *INDOUBT, or for specific messages in the eventlog. The next step in automation is to have EMAIL notifications sent when any of these alerts are received.
The DMWRKALR command in iCluster is used to add user EMAIL addresses to the list of users who should be notified by the DMMONHA process. Use DMWRKALR and then PF6 to add a new user or just go straight to the DMADDALR command as in the figure below.

Sure Bob. Here is what the Directory Entry looks like on our system (ICDMO71A):
User ID/Address . . . . : DMCLUSTE ICDMO71A
Description . . . . . . : iCluster
System name/Group . . . : ICDMO71A
User profile . . . . . : DMCLUSTER
Network user ID . . . . : DMCLUSTE ICDMO71A
and here is the SMTP name entry:
User ID/Address . . . . . : DMCLUSTE ICDMO71A
SMTP user ID . . . . . . : DMCLUSTER_ICDMO71A
SMTP domain . . . . . . . : ROCKETSOFTWARE.COM
