Abstract
A method and apparatus for sending a message from a first operator at a first workstation to a second operator at a second workstation in an operations-computing arrangement for operating one or more computer systems. The operations-computing arrangement includes the first and second workstations, which are coupled to respective operations servers. Each operations server is coupled to at least one computer system, each workstation executes software that provides an operator interface for operating a computer system, and each operations server provides an interface to a computer system. The infrastructure used to transmit system-generated event reports to operators at the workstations is used to transmit text messages between operators.
