Administering push notifications with the MobileFirst Operations Console

The Push Notifications page in the MobileFirst Operations Console provides you with a quick view of the various entities in the push notification chain.

The Event Sources tab displays the list of data sources that are configured in your MobileFirst Server, including the number of users that are subscribed to notifications from each source.

Clicking Applications displays the deployed applications that can receive push notifications. For each application, the push notification services available for this application are also displayed. The console displays the number of notifications that are retrieved by an event source and sent to each application since system startup. It also displays errors that are related to connectivity to the push notification services.

As Administrator, you can forcibly unsubscribe existing SMS subscriptions by clicking Unsubscribe Devices. As Administrator, you can enter the mobile phone numbers to be unsubscribed.

Note: You can have two subscriptions for the same phone number and user name; one created by using the device and one created by using the subscribe SMS servlet. If two subscriptions exist for the same phone number and user name, unsubscribing by using the MobileFirst Operations Console unsubscribes both subscriptions.
