Thanks for this @quebek.

Seems we can only rely on fellow community members these days.

It is beyond me why Veritas cannot get the Alert Subscription and Notification system up and running again. 

The Appliance LBN page has not been updated in EIGHT MONTHS and there is nothing about this under Tech Alerts on the NetBackup support page
