Overview: Oracle Alert is your complete exception control solution. Oracle Alert facilitates the flow of information within your organization by letting you create entities called alerts to monitor your business information and to notify you of the information you want. You can define one of two types of alerts: an event alert or a periodic alert.
Periodic Alert checks the database for information according to a schedule you define. When you create a periodic alert, you specify the following:
- A SQL Select statement that retrieves specific database information.
- The frequency that you want the periodic alert to run the SQL statement.
- Actions that you want Oracle Alert to perform once it runs the SQL statement. An action can entail sending the retrieved information to someone in an electronic mail message, running a concurrent program, running an operating script, or running a
- SQL statement script.
