(NNTP)
Posts a message to a newsgroup used by your
organization. The newsgroup must use Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP)
to send and receive information.
- Requirements
- Newsgroup service must be available.
Note: You cannot use this action to
post a message to a secure news server.
- Result
- The specified message is posted to the newsgroup.
- Example
- This action can be useful as an additional logging mechanism outside of IBM® Systems
Director. Use this event action
when you want to send information to a newsgroup after a specified event is
generated. The message might notify members of a technical support organization
when a critical server is having problems.
Note: You can use event-data-substitution
variables to include event data information into the newsgroup message. For
more information, see "Event-data-substitution variables."
