Banibratta, This follows my previous email. I have not answered fully to your question. I think that there is an error in the MAP spec here. Indeed, if the RETURN RESULT is TRUE then a RESULT is expected so that the application should know what result to send or receive. In that case, I think that it should be RETURN RESULT FALSE (which can be normal in case of an alert or a notify). I noticed we have the same error in the case of the unstructuredSS-Notify object.
X880 specifies : 8.2.4 The &returnResult field specifies whether a result is returned in the event that the operation is performed successfully, taking the value TRUE if it is, and FALSE otherwise. 8.2.5 The &ResultType field specifies the data type of the value returned with the result of the operation. If it is omitted, then the operation returns no result value. It shall be omitted if the &returnResult field is FALSE. I hope this helps but I would appreciate a MAP specialist could confirm if there is a problem with unstructuredSS-Notify and alertServiceCentre.
