receiving notification when a job fails
Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2007 12:12 pm
I have a project that runs a sequence job (SQ1) on a nightly basis. The SQ1 job does various tasks like check connection, runs staging jobs, facts, dimensions etc. The staging job (SJ1) is a server job that executes a text file containing various sequence and server jobs.
I would like to run the scheduled sequence job (SQ1) and be notified by email when there is an error in one of the jobs being run. The problem is that if I but a notification activity on the SQ1 job with a trigger of failed I get no email when one of the lower jobs fails because the staus of the SJ1 staging job is not aborted, the staus is "Finished (see log)". The jobs in the text file being run in by SJ1 are not dependant so I would like the rest of the jobs to run even if one of them fails, but I would like to receive a notification from the failing job. There are many, many jobs and I don't want to add notification to each and everyone. Is there a way to have a setting at more of a global level to inform me of any failing jobs?
