Sending Repository Notifications
You create and send notification messages to all users connected to a repository.
You might want to send a message to notify users of scheduled repository maintenance or other tasks that require you to disable a PowerCenter Repository Service or run it in exclusive mode. For example, you might send a notification message to ask users to disconnect before you promote a local repository to a global repository.
1. Select the PowerCenter Repository Service in the Navigator.
2. In the Manage tab Actions menu, select Notify Users.
The Notify Users window appears.
3. Enter the message text.
4. Click OK.
The PowerCenter Repository Service sends the notification message to the PowerCenter Client users. A message box informs users that the notification was received. The message text appears on the Notifications tab of the PowerCenter Client Output window.
