Alerts
When an object fails or experiences an error, an alert icon appears on the
object and the object’s state usually changes to an unhealthy state. The
unhealthy object also appears in the Alert Monitor window, which
summarizes the problem and indicates whether any associated objects
have problems. When an object enters an unhealthy state and has an
alert, you should review the contents of the Alert Monitor window and
then try to correct the problem. For more information about an object
listed in the Alert Monitor window, review the object’s Properties
window.
• To display the Alert Monitor window, click the Alert button in the
toolbar or choose Window > Alerts.
• To view the properties of an object listed in the Alert Monitor window,
select the object and choose Object Properties from the Alert or popup
menu. You can also access object properties by double-clicking on the
object.
