Active workspace based Subscriptions configuration

Active workspace based Subscription Notifications

OVERVIEW

Subscriptions are memberships to receive notifications when objects are changed in Active Workspace. A number indicator appears to the right of the Alert button on the global toolbar when subscription notifications are received. Users click the Alert button to view the notifications.

Following is an example of notifications.

Pre-requisites

Install the following from the features panel of Teamcenter Environment Manager (TEM):

1.      Subscription (client)

Installs the user interface elements for viewing subscription notifications in Active Workspace.

Select Active Workspace→Client→Subscription.

2.      Subscription (server)

Installs the server-side definitions for subscriptions.

Select Active Workspace→Server Extensions→Subscription.

Configurations :

Configuring notifications for a two-tier environment

●        Manually configure the environment variable TC_MESSAGING_MUX_URL

●        On Microsoft Windows, add the following line to the tc_profilevars.bat file: set TC_MESSAGING_MUX_URL=http://blserver1:8087

●        On Linux, add the following line to the tc_profilevars file: TC_MESSAGING_MUX_URL=${TC_MESSAGING_MUX_URL:=http://blserver1:8087}

Configuring subscribable properties

●        Using “Subscription Administration” perspective in the use the “Subscription Properties” tab to define the subscribable properties of any Business Object.

●        If no configuration is defined on a subscribable object, all properties are available to Active Workspace users for defining subscription criteria.

●        A subtype inherits the configuration of the parent type unless it has its own configuration.

●        If a property were to be turned off from subscription, but existing subscriptions utilize that property, then these subscriptions will continue to have the property in the criteria until the subscriber manually removes it.

Though existing criteria continue to apply, the Active Workspace user cannot define a new subscription using that property.

Subscription notification preferences

1.      SCM_notification_mode

●        Indicates whether you want notifications to be delivered by email or news feed or both.

●        If this preference is set to 1 (default), your notifications are delivered by email.

●        To receive notifications by news feed, set the preference to 2.

●        To receive notifications by both email and news feed, set the preference to 3.

2.      AWS_Notifications_Polling_Interval

●        Specifies (in minutes) how frequently the system is polled for notifications, site-wide.

●        The default setting is 5. If this preference is set to 0, the Alert navigation button is disabled.
