Administer push notifications with the operations console

The Push Notifications page in the operations console provides you with a quick view of the various entities in the push notification chain.

Figure 1. Push notifications in the operations console

The left column displays the list of data sources that are configured in the MobileFirst Server, including the number of users that are subscribed to notifications from each source.

The right column displays deployed applications, which can receive push notifications. For each application, the push notification services available for this application are also displayed. The console displays the number of notifications that are retrieved by an event source and sent to each application since system startup. It also displays errors related to connectivity to the push notification services.

Administrators can forcibly unsubscribe existing SMS subscriptions by clicking Unsubscribe devices. The Unsubscribe SMS Devices window opens, and administrators can then enter the mobile phone numbers to be unsubscribed.

It is possible to have two subscriptions for the same phone number and user name; one created using the device and one created using the subscribe SMS servlet. If there are two subscriptions for the same phone number and user name, unsubscription using the operations console unsubscribes both subscriptions.
