We are a large group of developers, working on a project. We recently switched to TeamCity for managing the build process. I would like every developer to get a notification of the build success or failure. Since most of the developers are unfamiliar with TeamCity, and are super busy anyway, I'm concerned that asking them to subscribe to the build result may take a long time.
My Question: Is there a way to subscribe on the behalf of others to get build notifications via email?
Create a group (Administration - User Management - Groups), assign users to the group and create a new notification rule (email, IDE notififications, Windows Tray - whatever you want) for the group (Group detail - Notification rules).

We are using a Code and if that code is used we want a report to automatically send out.
Sales Code (if this sales code is used send out report)
This is used for a check method to ensure that sales code is not used inproperly.
Not sure how to do do this in cognos.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
Event Studio might be the way to go here.
Use IBM® Cognos® Event Studio to notify decision-makers in your organization of events as they happen, so that they can make timely and effective decisions.
You create agents that monitor your organization's data to detect occurrences of business events. An event is a situation that can affect the success of your business. An event is identified when specific items in your data achieve significant values. Specify the event condition, or a change in data, that is important to you. When an agent detects an event, it can perform tasks, such as sending an e-mail, adding information to the portal, and running reports.

Azure notification hubs have a feature that allow for subscribing to various topics in a many to many relationship. (many devices to many declared topic strings)
Suppose I take these steps:
I send an iOS device a notification, "test 1".
The device goes offline.
I send "test 2"
I send "test 3".
The device comes back online.
APNS only sends "test 3". Test 2 was dropped
Not to mention that APNS will only notify the most recent event "Test 3", it can also drop additional alerts in iOS 11 if I exceed the 30 maximum per day.
One of the things I like about Azure Hub service, is that I can manage that subscription "state" in an external storage. Now however, it seems I have to track the subscriptions myself, rebuilding part of the Azure HUB architecture... archiving out the subscriptions, topics, etc so the device can query the server for all missing events.
Question
How do I reconcile the features of Azure Hub and topic subscription with the issue of dropped APNS pushes?
You're correct that there's nothing ANH (or you as a developer) could do about the dropped notifications because that's the way ANPS is designed. Which means that the solution to your problem would really depend on what kind of application you're building, the architecture and user scenarios you're targeting.
A couple of ideas I have in mind which may or may not works for you depending on what you're trying to do are:
Send a silent push to the topic once in a while that would trigger the app to query the server on whether something has been missed
If the nature of the app is such that people open it often anyway, then you could do a background check at the time they open the app
Of course, in both of these scenarios, you'll have to build some additional infrastructure on your end to keep track of which device received or missed certain notifications. One thing that might help you not to have to rebuild parts of the NH that are already there is using Pet Message Telemetry (PMT). I haven't experimented with dropped notifications, but hopefully, there's a way to tell a dropped vs delivered message apart using PMT (looks like Dropped value of the PnsErrorDetailsUri field is something similar to what you need). And having that might help you simplify and reduce the amount of data you need to keep on your end to be able to tell whether someone had missed a notification or not.
I want to integrate slack with SCOM. SO i have a powershell script which will post notifications to slack and i have found where to place it so that it will get executed when some error occurs. But I am unable to find a way to create a Custom rule for error generation (eg. I want to create a rule which will trigger when any machine configured in SCOM, goes down or when its CPU utilization goes down). So that when this rule breaks, my Powershell script for slack notification will get triggered. IS this possible in SCOM?
Create a new command channel in SCOM
Attach the script that will process the alert's output ( the logic to both transform the data and send it to slack )
Create a subscription to the monitors and rules that you want passed to slack
Subscribe the command channel to the subscription

If you have Orchestrator in your System Center infrastructure you can make a runbook that is initialized by a SCOM alert. You will need to setup the SCOM connector if you haven't but this is a great way to make the process more easily managed. Then you can call your script inside the runbook.
I have inherited from a colleague who left a system module that integrates with Exchange Online in Office 365. Essentially what this module does is interact with with the remote Exchange service via EWS Managed API; subscribe for push notifications on changes in a user's calendar.
Change events do get posted to our web service and that is fine. And based on the frequency parameter we defined, the status checks messages also get posted on expected intervals, as per description about the subscription keep-alive behaviour.
The problem is, in observation, the subscription does not perpetuate despite responding with SubscriptionStatusType.OK to keep it ongoing. We never send SubscriptionStatusType.Unsubscribe since there is no error condition found in notification in messages. It seems to only last 9 to 14 hours before the Exchange service stops sending any status checks or change notification messages. When we make subscriptions from two separate web servers (different notification callback URLs), their subscriptions seem to die out around the same time.
Haven't found any clues that would cause the Exchange service to cancel/expire our subscriptions. What other conditions might contribute to this premature unsubscribe?
Exchange will "lose" subscriptions on a fairly regular basis, especially in the O365 environment because mailboxes are continually being shuffled onto different servers in order to load balance the entire ecosystem. Even in an on-prem Exchange you can lose subscription if a CAS restarts. Unfortunately to build a reliable app, you have to check periodically that you heard from Exchange via some kind of notification or heartbeat.
I need to check that all three of the required files in a set have been FTP'd before doing further processing on them. If all three files for the previous day have not arrived by 08:00 I need to raise and alert to a support person to contact the supplier. (Event 1)
If all three files are there, I then check the totals equal the transactions and if not I discard all three files and raise an alert to a support person to contact the supplier (Event 2)
I have the BizTalk (2010) - SCOM Management Pack loaded and need to know if I can create a custom rule that will raise and event for SCOM to detect, upon which I need SCOM to send a scenario-specific email to a recipient (e.g. Event 1 - All Three Required Files not Available! // or // Event 2 - Sum of transactions cannot be reconciled with Totals File)
We have looked at creating a SQL table for the message event log and defining custom processes for each connection point but it is clumsy, and I was advised that the above manner could be achieved, letting SCOM handle the Alert sending based on Events being raised by the process in BizTalk even though they are more BUSINESS events than SERVICE events.
Please advise - we have been going round in circles with this for two or three weeks now.
SCOM doesn't have anything out of the box like you are describing.
I do think you are looking at custom work here as Nick has suggested.
Another option is BizTalk360 does offer this feature. It is called "Process Monitoring" but would require a software license.
One option would be to use Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and raise alerts in there.
