1.4.1 My Delivery channels

One of the first things a user wants is to receive notification of events, messages,

and so forth. In order to do so, you have to select the mechanism which the

system uses for notification. Several portlets are provided:

򐂰 Intelligent Notification Sametime delivery channel

You use the Sametime delivery channel when you want notification through

Lotus Sametime (even Mobile Sametime).

Figure 1-6 Sametime delivery channel

To create a delivery channel, select Add delivery Channel, as shown in

Figure 1-6. The screen in Figure 1-7 on page 21 appears.

Figure 1-7 Creating a new Sametime delivery channel

You supply the following data:

– Delivery channel name, which refers to the name that you see when

performing other options.

– Sametime ID, which is the identification already created on the Sametime

Server.

– Stop delivery, which is optional. If you do not want notification using this

channel, even if you are connected, set the start and end time here. You

can select several time slots. If you receive a message during any other

time, you are notified.

򐂰 Intelligent Notification Message Center delivery channel

One mechanism for communicating notifications is the Message Center. The

Message Center allows you to route all the events, alerts, messages, and so

forth to a portlet where you can see all the messages. You can find this portlet

on the Setup page, as shown in Figure 1-8 on page 22.

defined for the Message Center delivery channel. If you select Add Delivery

Channel, you have to provide the name of the delivery channel, and

optionally, the stop delivery times.

򐂰 Intelligent Notification SMTP e-mail delivery channel

You can receive notification via the e-mail delivery channel. Select the

Intelligent Notification Mail delivery channel portlet, and click Add Delivery

channel.

In this portlet you have to select the destination e-mail address where the

notification must be sent. Optionally, you can select the Stop delivery feature.

򐂰 Intelligent Notification WAP delivery channel

If you have a WAP-enabled telephone, you can have messages forwarded to

that telephone. You can set up this option using the screen shown in

Figure 1-9.

Figure 1-9 Creating a new WAP delivery channel

The fields included in this screen are:

– Delivery channel name, which is the external name for the delivery

channel.

– WAP Address Type, which is either Telephone Number or IP Address.

– WAP Address Value, which is the value for Telephone Number or IP

address, depending on your selection in the previous field. The portlet

does not validate these values.

– Stop delivery, which is optional. If you do not want notification using this

channel, even if you are connected, set the start and end time here. You

can select several time slots. If you receive a message during any other

time, you are notified.

򐂰 Intelligent Notification SMS delivery channel

You use this channel to receive notification using SMS to a phone. The same

fields that are defined in the Intelligent Notification WAP delivery channel

apply to this delivery channel.

򐂰 Intelligent Notification AOL delivery channel

WebSphere Everyplace Access incorporates a portlet for communicating with

AOL users.

Other predefined portlets for delivery channels include:

򐂰 Intelligent Notification Pager delivery channel

򐂰 Intelligent Notification Voice delivery channel

򐂰 Intelligent Notification BlackBerry delivery channel

For each delivery channel, more than one personalized delivery channel can be

added. For example, if you have two telephone numbers, a business number and

a personal number, you could configure the delivery channel such that you

receive notifications on your business number during working hours and

notifications to you personal number at other times.
