Post acknowledgments to
BlackBerry AtHoc

After downloading and processing the CAP message, you must send an acknowledgment message to the

BlackBerry AtHoc

server. This acknowledgment message is also a CAP message. The following is the acknowledgment message format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <?xml-stylesheet href="capstateoes.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
  <alert xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:emergency:cap:1.1">
    <identifier>ee2b8e8e7aa1dc903cc82ad4ab140fb1</identifier>
    <sender>BETA2</sender>
    <sent>2006-05-31T11:15:25-07:00</sent>
    <status>Actual</status>
    <msgType>Ack</msgType>
    <scope>Public</scope>
    <note>Message passed capnode filter</note>
    <references>SenderName,1410372042494,2014-09-10T11:00:42-07:00</references>
  </alert>

This is an example and your information might be different, such as the sender ID. This acknowledgment message is posted to the

AtHoc

server like any other CAP message.

In the <references> field, fill in the following information: <node name>, <identifier of the alert you are acknowledging>,date and time
