Hi,

I dont remember it, which command/session is used for the message broadcast to all the users.

I want to keep a standard message for the users who logon to the system and also send a broadcast message to all the users who are currently logged on in case of any notificiations of system down times.

Thanks!

You can use the ottstlpollmess object for this:

Add the following record in session BMS-mask data (ttadv4188m000):

MASK Session/Object Automatical add Mask Boot
pollmess ottstppollmess Yes Yes
After adding this record make sure you convert the BMS-Mask data to runtime so that the file $BSE/lib/bms_mask will get updated. Then create the file $BSE/lib/systemmess with your startup message.

You can use the $BSE/bin/bshcmd6.x command:

# bshcmd6.1 -w1 -u1 -M "message text" PID of bshell

The attached Quick Guide 1401 gives you a full description of the bshcmd6.x command.

Hi,

I tried implementing the suggestion through ttadv4188m000 in BaaN IV C4. I get the error message "Cannot find the object ottstppollmess. I find that there is an object ottstpmess. I tried using that but it does not pick up the contents from systemmess.

I have a demo environment of Baan ERP and there it works. So obviously the ttadv4188m000 and the session info and systemmess refers to Baan ERP.

Can someone tell me how to achieve this in BaanIV C4.

I can vouch that $BSE/lib/systemmess does work on Baan IVc4.

Hi,

See BaaN solution: 117282stnd for the object ottstppollmess.

Hi - Just a warning - on our system the job daemons hang if a system message is sent to their bshells. we specifically exclude them from any message sent to logged on users.
(This pertains to our b2 system - we have not yet gone live on c4 so no statement can be made with respect to c4)

Thanks GN..

The problem was that the object was missing from the application server.

1. open erp
2. type "ttstpsendmess"
3. press enter
4. type the message that u want to send.
5. hope it will work for u people...
