When Oracle Alert receives an e-mail response to an alert message, after determining whether the response is valid or invalid, Oracle Alert submits the Alert Action Processor (ALPPWF) concurrent program to perform the appropriate actions.
If the actual response matches a valid response, then the Alert Action Processor performs the actions defined for that valid response. After the Alert Action Processor performs the actions for that valid response, Oracle Alert closes the response so that no other responses are processed for that message.
If the actual response does not match any of the valid responses in that response set, the Alert Action Processor performs the actions associated with the invalid response. The Alert Action Processor performs the invalid response actions each time Oracle Alert receives an invalid response within the response days specified in the original message action.
Note: You do not need to submit the Alert Action Processor manually. Oracle Alert submits the Alert Action Processor automatically when an alert response is received.
You can use the Requests window to review the concurrent requests for this program. See: Monitoring Requests.
