Files\WebSphere\INS. Sametime and SMTP should be available as delivery

channels. If you see lines that have been commented out in this file, you will

need to configure these channels as described in 1.3.1, “Channel adapter” on

page 12.

1.6.1 Stock example

This scenario sends notifications to a user named Christian about stocks when

those stocks have reached a specific limit. The user has specified three delivery

channels: e-mail, BlackBerry, and the Message Center.

The stock price is simulated by the sample stock feed application, which is part of

the Intelligent Notification Services. The stock price information is stored in an

XML file. The application reads this file and sends the data to the Subscription

Manager.

If the stock price is less than $50, a notification message is sent to the Message

Center. If the stock price is higher than $100, a notification message is sent to all

three delivery channels.

First, we configure the delivery channels as necessary (for example, supplying

which e-mail address or BlackBerry PIN should be used). After that, we configure

the stock subscription by specifying which stock should be monitored and at

which price the user should be informed. Finally, we configure the sample stock

feed application to send the stock information to the Subscription Manager.

Configuring delivery channels

1. Log in to the WebSphere Everyplace Access portal as user Christian.
