Notification Action Properties

The Notification Action Properties window contains the settings for a Notification Action.

Property Pages

Notification

Recipients

Add, edit, or remove the notification recipients who will receive the notification message.

Subject of message

Optionally, provide a subject for the message that will be sent. If you do not specify a subject, a default subject will be used.

The subject may contain Job Variables, which will be expanded when the message is sent. For more information, see Specifying Notification Subjects, Messages, and Severities at Run-Time.

Message to send

Optionally, specify the message to be sent. If you do not specify a message, the default message is used.

The default message varies depending on the event that triggered the action. Generally the message contains the job name and  instance ID, step number, and a description of the event that triggered the action.

If you specify a message, it will be sent instead of the default message. If you wish to include the default message as part of your message, include the token %DEFAULTMESSAGE% in your message. The token will be replaced with the default message.

The message may contain Job Variables, which will be expanded when the message is sent. For more information, see Specifying Notification Subjects, Messages, and Severities at Run-Time.

Notification Severity

Specify the severity (importance) of this message. Notification Recipients, Addresses, and Groups can all be configured to receive only messages that meet specified severity criteria.

E-Mail Sender

Optionally specify the display name or e-mail address to be used as the sender of e-mail notification messages. If you leave a box empty, adTempus will use the value specified in the SMTP server properties.

You can also override the default values by setting the NotificationFromName and/or NotificationFromAddressJob Variables for a job, group, queue, step, etc. You can do this either through the properties window for the job, group, etc., or by running a script within the job.

Attachments

The Attachments page allows you to specify files that will be attached to the notification message. In the Files list you can add, edit, or remove File Specifications that define the files to be attached.

The attached files are not captured and saved as part of the job's history. If you want to save the files, use a File Capture action instead. The File Capture Action can also send the captured files in a notification message.

If you check the Include captured console outputoption, any console output that has been captured for the current step (if this action is being called by a step) or for the entire job (if this action is being called by the job) will be attached to the message.
