Working with action templates

A system administrator uses the Business Monitor action services to notify the appropriate people about events that occur in a model. These notifications can take the form of a dashboard alert, an email, a call to a cell phone, or a call to a pager. Notifications can also be sent to Web Services Notification or Service Component Architecture (SCA) services. A systems administrator creates an action template, which defines the publish type, subject and body of the notification, and the federated repositories or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query, that defines which users receive alert notifications. The cell phone and pager types are email publish types that are processed by the cell phone or pager provider (if supported) and sent to the cell phone or pager device.
