7. Click OK. You should see two cases for a notification (Figure 1-33).

Figure 1-33 Cases for Stock Notification

Configuring the stock content adapter

To configure the stock content adapter:

1. Open the stock1.xml file, which contains the stock information. This file is

located in ins_home\samples\sm\stock, where ins_home is your Intelligent

Notification Services installation directory. In the sample installation, it is the

C:\Program Files\WebSphere\INS directory.

2. Look for the <nameval name=”timestamp”> element and change the value to

ten minutes before the current time that is used on that server.

<nameval name="timestamp" type="string">2004-10-11 10:20:03</nameval>

3. Look for the <nameval name="last"> element, which contains the last stock

price. You should set it to a value less than 50, because that is the condition

that was set in the stock subscription.

<nameval name="last" type="double">44</nameval>

4. Save and close the stock1.xml file.

Before we can simulate a stock feed using the content feed application, we have

to configure it by performing the following steps:

1. Open the contentfeed.bat file, which is located in the ins_home\bin directory,

where ins_home is your Intelligent Notification Services installation directory.

In the sample installation, it is the C:\Program Files\WebSphere\INS

directory.

2. In the Environment Setup section of this file, enter the appropriate ins_home

and was_home settings as shown in the following example:

rem -----------------------------------------------------------------

rem Environment setup

rem -----------------------------------------------------------------

set INS_HOME=C:\Program Files\WebSphere\INS

set WAS_HOME=C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer

Chapter 1. Intelligent Notification Services 47

3. Look for the line starting with "%WAS_HOME%\bin\launchclient". Add the

property -CCBootstrapPort=port_number to the line.

The modified line should look like the following:

"%INS_HOME%\samples\sm\XMLContentPublisher.ear" -CCBootstrapPort=9814

-CCclasspath="%INS_HOME%\bin;%INS_HOME%\lib\insSmClient.jar" %1

"%INS_HOME%\samples\sm\%2"

The port_number is the bootstrap address of the Intelligent Notification

Services application server. To determine the port number:

a. Open the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console by

clicking Start

→ Program → IBM WebSphere → Application Server

V5.0

→ Administrative Console.

b. Expand Application Servers

→ INSServer → End Points →

Bootstrap Address.

c. The port is the value in the Port field.

Running the stock application

To run the stock application:

1. In a command prompt, change the directory to ins_home\bin and simulate the

stock feed by executing the following command:

contentfeed stocks stock

2. Because of the security that was enabled during the installation, you should

see the window shown in Figure 1-34.

Figure 1-34 Enter security information

3. Enter your WebSphere Application Server administrative user ID and its

password. In the sample installation the user ID and password is wpsbind.

4. Log in to the WebSphere Everyplace Access Portal as Christian and go to

Intelligent Notification

→ Message Center.

5. You should see a new message from the STOCK application as shown in

Figure 1-35 on page 48.

7. Open the stock1.xml file to change the stock price.

8. Change the value to higher than 100, as shown in the following example:

<nameval name="last" type="double">120</nameval>

9. Change the time to the actual server time, as shown in the following example:

<nameval name="timestamp" type="string">2004-10-11 11:20:03</nameval>

10.Save and close the file.

11.Run the content feed application again, using this command:

contentfeed stocks stock

12.Enter your WebSphere Application Server administrative user ID and its

password in the security window.
