In Cube, is it possible to send a chat to all connected users ?
For example if a maintenance operation need to be done, is it possible to warn all users ?
Hi Bernard,
If your system is connected to dataminer.services, you are lucky today ;). We have a ChatOps extension available which does exactly what you want.

Salut, Bernard
I believe the dataminer.services expansion recommended by Jarno might be the best option if Teams is in use - at some point, perhaps a fork will be needed for companies who prefer Slack over Teams.
In case of a plain and simple DMA, you only have the list of "All Connected" users - from there I don't think there's an option to simultaneously "broadcast-message" all of them in one go - but the list of users could be re-used for a slack or Teams Integration (unless a "message all connected users" is already in the roadmaps for this "embedded" chat that runs within the DMS)
The current option is only to start a session with a single user, not with all of them: (disconnect is helpful when refreshing user settings)
HTH
Hi Bernard,
You could consider using the BroadcastPopupRequestMessage | DataMiner Docs, which allows you to generate a Cube pop-up for a configurable list of users (in your case, you could leave the UserNames argument empty, so that all clients are notified), e.g.:
(Note: A Cube issue that caused the message field to not be displayed in the UI was recently discovered and promptly fixed. The next to be released Cube version will already contain the fix, see BroadcastPopupRequestMessage is not displaying the message - DataMiner Dojo).
