syntax and description of notify() in asl
I see a function is asl ref guide called notify(). There is not much description about what parameters are to be passed or what this function does. I assume its going to create a notification - thats what I'm trying to do in an asl script. I passed
notify("ClassName", "InstanceName", "Down") - complains incorrect number of arguments. Any clues? Thanks
I'm using sm_ems to create a notification such as,
./sm_ems -s server notify Class instance Stopped xxx momentary source severity=1
I would rather do the same thing with an asl and trying to use notify() function.
notify("ClassName", "InstanceName", "Down") - complains incorrect number of arguments. Any clues? Thanks

To create a notification, you need to use ICS_NotificationFactory class makeNotification operation.
Hope this helps,

RouterRef=object("Router", "RouterName")
RouterRef->notify("Down")

That is not correct. The notify primitive will create a notification as well based upon the MODEL description of the object.
For instance, "Router" has a "Down" notification available, so
$RouterRef->notify("Down");
would create a down notification for the referenced router.

Berkay is actually right. Notify an event (in a domain manager) and notify a notification (in SAM/OI) are two different things. Yes, you can use notify in a Domain Manager to raise an event (even if this is not really recommended as the event is in general based on instrumented attributes; in production it's better to change the corresponding attribute). But if you want to mimic sm_ems (which is working at SAM/OI layer) to create notifications with the Java or PERL API, you have to use the NotificationFactory to do so.
My 2 cents,

example for notify via perl with sub.
sub Notify{
my ($class, $name, $eventName, $elementClassName, $elementName,
$instanceName, $eventText, $eventSeverity, $category,
$Domain)=@_;
my $notifObj="Test";
$factory=$session->object("ICS_NotificationFactory", "ICS-NotificationFa
ctory");
$notification = $factory->findNotification($class,$name,$eventName);
$notifObj=$session->object($notification);
#if (!$notification)
#{
$notification=$factory->makeNotification($class, $name, $eventNa
me, "ICS_Notification");
$notifObj=$session->object($notification);
$notifObj->{InstanceDisplayName} = $instanceName;
$notifObj->{InstanceName} = $instanceName;
$notifObj->{Certainty} = 100;
$notifObj->{EventText} = $eventText;
$notifObj->{Severity} = $eventSeverity;
$notifObj->{Category} = $category;
$notifObj->{OccurredOn} = "$class::$name";
$notifObj->{EventType} = "DURABLE";
$notifObj->insertElement("NotifiedBy", "InChargeDomain::
InChargeDomain_$Domain" );
$notifObj->invoke("notify","DXA","omsk-sam","Notify from Perl-AP
I",0);
$notifObj->changed();
#}
}
