Setting Up Email Notifications in Advanced Job Scheduler For Job Status

Question & Answer


Question

When scheduling a job in Advanced Job Scheduler (AJS), how do I send email notification messages to recipients when a job fails, completes successfully, or does not start within a specified time limit.

Answer

For each specified recipient, you need to define the recipient's properties.

To add a new recipient or edit a current recipient's properties, start by selecting Work Management, then expand Advanced Job Scheduler, and select Notification.  Select the Recipients tab.  If adding a new recipient, click on Actions, New or if editing an existing one, right click on the Recipient and select Properties.

When creating a New Recipient, set the Recipient name you want to use to receive email notifications:

New Recipient screen

 

Select the email tab and enter the users email address and select Add.  Then, select Ok to create the recipient.

New Recipient, email tab

 

When scheduling a job, you can specify whether to send notification messages to specified recipients.  The notification messages include:  if a job fails, completes successfully, or does not start within a specified time limit.

Start by expanding Work Management > All Tasks > Advanced Job Scheduler > Scheduled Jobs. Then, select New Scheduled Job or Scheduled Jobs depending on if you are adding a new job entry or editing an existing one.

From the New Scheduled Job screen, enter the job name and information needed for the general tab, schedule tab, and batch information tab. The Notifications tab is where the recipient is added.

There are several options for notifications, click the drop-down arrow next to recipient and select the recipient that was created, or any other recipient that is already on the system to get a notification if the job completes successfully, fails, does not start within a predefined time limit, or gets an error message.  The recipient needs to be selected under each type of notification they need to receive.
