How I write cl app to send notificatios to my email

Hi nino2004

To set up email on the AS/400 is relatively easy:
i)   set up TCP/IP domains
ii)  add directory entry
iii) set up a mail relay to your email server
iv)  start the servers
v)   send the mail
Details on how to do this can be found at:

For your monitoring requirements, your choices are:

1) Buy solution(s)
The two alternatives that I would consider are:
a) from Help Systems. Help has a whole suite of products that integrate together. You are primarily interested in the Robot/Console product that monitors messages and in Robot/Alert which handles alerting you through paging, etc.
The products are not cheap. Spending U$10,000 will be easy.
Their tech support is reliable.
b) from Bytware.  The product is Messenger/Plus which will handle most of what you need.
Cost is lower, but they offer a narrower range of products.
Their tech support is okay.

2) Write your own.
With some work and help (from experts-exchange as well), you can write message monitoring and alerting yourself. You will learn a lot in the process. This assumes you are comfortable with medium-level programming. There are some basic tools available in Operations Navigator too, especially the current releases.

Hope this gets you started!

Let's start with the free stuff. Assuming you are using iSeries Access for Windows, install the Navigator components. Check out what can be done from there. Refer to this link:
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/navigator
Of particular interest to you is the "Functions by Release" link on the navigation bar.

What release are you at?

Please include a more exact list of things that you want to monitor.

You can advice me as I am an IT guy what i need to know else from the Iseries

IBM service director monitors your system for hardware problems. Make sure
it is working by sending a test problem to your hardware maintenance
company, presumably IBM. Test this by using command GO SERVICE and look for
the option to send a test problem.

Did you check out the Navigator info? Look especially under Management
Central at the monitors. You can do a lot of what you need in there. If you decide that Navigator cannot do what you need, post back and I can get you started with basic CL programming.

Please keep in mind the scope of your question is quite large. I typically spend 3 days on setup and 5 days on user training for my customers who are new to the platform.
