<p><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p>The <code>GetNotification</code> method notifies the client
when the value of a <a href="GUID-B796D072-4E51-4BC7-9259-84530DB3539D.html#GUID-B796D072-4E51-4BC7-9259-84530DB3539D">system
attribute</a> is changed.</p>
<p>This is an asynchronous method.</p>
<p><strong>Syntax:</strong></p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-058A4EA2-A311-495C-AFEB-BA23E482DE22">result = so.ISysInfo.GetNotification(criteria, callback);</pre>
<p><strong>Arguments:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>criteria</code>:</p>
<p>This is an object that specifies the system attribute to monitor for
changes. For more information about the object properties and how to define
them, see section <a href="GUID-ABF4EC7E-557F-4C6D-8B2C-F734A0BBC082.html#GUID-ABF4EC7E-557F-4C6D-8B2C-F734A0BBC082">Criteria for change notifications</a>.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>callback</code>:</p>
<p>The <code>callback</code> argument is the name of the method
that is executed when a <code>GetNotification</code> call has results
or status information to return. You must define this method separately. Follow
the instructions in section <a href="GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608.html#GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608">Defining the callback handler for an asynchronous method</a> to
define the <code>callback</code> method.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Return value:</strong></p>
<p>The <code>GetNotification</code> method returns an object that
contains the initial return value for the asynchronous call it started (see
the following table). The actual notification information is returned by the <a href="GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608.html#GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608"><code>callback</code></a> method
in the <code>ReturnValue</code> property of its <a href="#GUID-C4D4A6CE-04BE-48FF-B22A-75987DDF5839">result object</a>.</p>
