How To: Send Notification Messages for Failed Jobs

Though the adTempus Console highlights failed jobs in the Jobs list and in the Failed Jobs view, it is common to configure important jobs to notify relevant personnel by e-mail if the jobs fail.

Such notification is configured using Responses that run Notification Actions. To configure the failure notification:

1. Edit the job and go to the Responses page in the Job Properties window.
2. Click Add to add a new Response.
3. In the Response Properties window, go to the Events section and click Add.
4. In the Response Event Properties window, select the "Job Failed" event and click OK.
5. Back in the Response Properties window, go to the Actions section and click Add.
6. In the Select Action window, select "Send a notification message" and click OK.

7. In the Notification Action Properties window, add the recipients (individuals or groups) that you want to notify when this job fails.

   • You can leave the Subject and Message blank, and adTempus will use a default message that indicates that the job has failed. Or you can provide your own subject and message.
   • If the job produces log files or other output, you can have adTempus attach those files to the notification message, using the settings on the Attachments page.
8. Click OK to return to the Response, then OK again to return to the job, and OK again to save the job.

adTempus will now send a notification message whenever the job fails for any reason.

If you want to use the same failure notification settings for multiple jobs, you put them in the same Job Group and configure the Response for the group instead of doing it for each job in the group. Responses for a group are configured on the Responses page of the Job Group Properties.
