The Notification Management component Web service provides notification tracking and administrative functionality. Registered notifications are stored in a backing database and are made available for queries or terminations, through a Web service API.
Web service implementations that use Notification Management require that a client be configured using the configuration pages in the
TWSS Administration Console.
Note: Not all of the TWSS Web service implementations require the Notification Management component Web service. Some provide a notification option that uses the Notification Management component Web service.
Notification Management also provides statistics that an administrator can use to gain insight into notification delivery in a running system. This component is intended only for capturing information about all notifications on the platform, and for capturing statistics around notification delivery attempts. Individual Web service implementations still should manage the storage of notification data in whatever manner is most efficient for them.
Notification Management is a Web service and is defined by WSDL. It can query notification information and terminate active notifications. The component provides simple information that can be used by an administrator or care representative, to view information about active notifications in the system. The API also allows those individuals to reset outstanding notifications through termination. Upon termination, the client-side application would need to reestablish the notification.
The component provides the following functionality:
- Register notifications
- A service implementation can call the Notification Management component to register notifications in the Notification Manager database.
- Complete or terminate notifications
- A service implementation can call the Notification Management component to remove notification registrations from the Notification Manager database.
- Tracking and updating delivery statistics in Notification Management from the PX Notification
- The PX Notification component Web service component, can call the Notification Management component to update delivery statistics in the Notification Manager database for tracking purposes.
- Query the Notification Management component
- An application can call the Notification Management component to query statistics, find notification records, and delete records from the Notification Manager database.
- Terminate currently processing notifications
- An application can call the Notification Management component to send a termination request to the service implementation, which creates the notification so that the service implementation can do its own tear down.
