Tip: You can set up a background process in your client to check for new messages. This means that if your Alert Management Client is started and a new message arrives, the window will automatically be refreshed. If the window is in a minimized state, it will be restored and displayed on the desktop. See Edit event notification settings below for further information.

The different actions you can perform for a message are the following:
Note: If the icon on the toolbar is greyed out, this action is not available for the message. You can access all actions by clicking the applicable icon or pulling down the Actions drop down menu.
The Alert Management Client monitors an AS/400 message queue. The default message queue used is the one that is attached to your AS/400 User profile. This message queue will contain all messages, AMT related or not. As a consequence, the Alert Management Client will be refreshed even if there are no new Alert messages. An example could be that every time a “job” is completed, a message will be sent to your default queue.
To avoid receiving these types of non-Alert messages, you can set-up a special queue that will receive Alert messages only and/or let the client automatically check for new messages.
To do this you need to create a message queue on the AS/400.
Every time an event occurs, to which you have subscribed, an Alert message will be sent to this queue.
You also have the following options:
Click Save.
The following buttons perform specific actions:
Accept messages
Click this icon to accept the message. The message will be cleared from the New view and added to the Accept view.
Deny messages
Click this icon to deny the message. The message will be cleared from the New view and added to the Deny view.
