Paging_SendAlert

Alerts are identified by an external system ID. This ID is used in the callback notification calls and in the GetAlertStatus methods.

If a user is not found in the VMP Server, the return array contains the appropriate PagingAlertUserStatusInfo with ERROR status and User unknown detail text.

DLS String The list of distribution list ids.  The Public ID should be used, and can be configured in the VMP Administrator. Responses and delivery notifications are not supported for distribution lists.
CallbackInfo String The status notification callback descriptor. The VMP Server supports a callback failover mechanism. It is implemented as a callback notification queue.

Gateway clients can use the Paging_GetAlert status call to poll the alert status and update their database.
