    This document discusses Oracle alerts, which monitor database information and notify users when specified conditions are met. There are two types of alerts: event-based alerts that are triggered by changes in database data, and periodic alerts that are triggered on a defined schedule. When an alert is triggered, it can perform actions like sending email, running SQL scripts, or submitting concurrent programs. Custom applications can also trigger alerts if properly registered with Oracle Applications. Creating alerts involves defining the trigger event or schedule, selecting data to include, setting the distribution list, and configuring the action to be performed.

    Oracle Alerts monitor database information and notify users when specified conditions are met. There are two types of alerts: event-based and periodic.

    Event-based alerts are triggered by changes in database data. Periodic alerts are triggered on a scheduled basis like hourly, daily, weekly etc.

    When an alert is triggered, it can send an email, run a concurrent program, execute a SQL script, or run an operating system script.

    What are Oracle Alerts?
    A: Oracle Alerts monitor your Database information and notify you when the condition that you have
    specified is found. You can define Alerts in any Oracle application or custom Oracle application.
    Some applications (Purchasing, for example) supply Alerts that Can simply be activated and used.
    There are two type of Alerts, Event and Periodic.

    Event Based Alerts : These Alerts are fired/triggered based on some change in data in the
    database.

    Ex: If u want to notify your manager when you create an item in the inventory you can use event
    based alerts. When you create an item in the inventory it will cretae a new record in
    mtl_system_items_b, here inserting a record in the table is an event so when ever a new record is
    inserted it will send the alert.In same alert you can also send the information related to that
    particular item

    Periodic Alerts : These Alerts are triggered hourly,daily, weekly, monthly or yearly based on your
    input.

    Ex: If you want to know list of items created on that day at the end of day you can use periodic
    alerts repeating periodically by single day.This alert is not based on any chages to database.this
    alert will notify you everyday regardless of data exists or not that means even if no items are
    created you wil get a blank notification.

    Q: What types of actions can be generated when an Alert is triggered?

    properly registered within the Oracle Applications package.
    Q: Which Email packages work with Alerts?
    A: Oracle Alert is designed to work with Oracle Office, Oracle Interoffice, UNIX Send mail, and VMS
    Mail.

    Q: Can Alerts be triggered by other Tools? (i.e. other than Oracle Forms and concurrent
    programs)
    A: Oracle Alerts can only be triggered from an application that has been registered in Oracle
    Applications. Alerts cannot be triggered via SQL updates or deletes to an Alert activated trigger.

    Q: What is Response Processing?

    only works with Oracle Mail Products.

    the alert.
