Own/Disown Message

The Own/Disown Message object allows you to set the owner of a message to the Operator user you specified in the HP OpenView Operations (Windows) Options dialog. You can also use the Own/Disown Message object to clear the ownership of a message. The Update Message, Acknowledge Message, Own/Disown Message, and Add Annotation to Message objects will automatically give ownership of the message that they are updating to the Operator user that has been configured.
