Working with the My Alerts display
Select Alerts from the Designer Studio developer toolbar to view lines from the current Alert log on the server node produced by your own requestor session. (You can access the same display from the My Alerts link of the Performance tool summary display.)
Note: This display is limited to the current Alert log; alerts in older logs are not visible. Depending on your log file systems settings, a new log may start each time a node is started, at specific time each day, or on another basis.
My Alerts notification
During your requestor session, a pop-up message appears briefly when an alert is triggered.
