6.6.1 Setting up email notifications
The job manager notifications help you monitor the results for your jobs across multiple
databases and schedules without requiring access to the web console.
Each job can have any number of notifications configured, and each notification can be set
up with different conditions, a different set of users to notify, and different collections of
databases to monitor.
To set up email notifications:
1. From the Job List, select the job that you want to add email notifications for and click
Edit.
2. In the job that opens, from the Job Components menu, select Notifications.
3. In the Email Recipients field, enter an email address, or enter two or more email
addresses separated by commas.
4. Select one or more databases. Notifications will be sent when the job runs on the
database. Select the criteria for which a notification will be sent. The criteria can be
that the job fails, that the job succeeds, or that the job fails or succeeds.
5. Click Save All to save the notification for the job.
Notifications are added specifically for a job. Each job can have one or more schedules
attached to it, where each schedule has its own collection of databases that the job will run
on.
Figure 6.14 – Configure notifications for the job
Important:
To send notifications you must first configure the web console with the details about your
outbound SMTP mail server so that information can be sent to e-mail addresses. From
the web console, select Open -> Product Setup -> Services. In the Services tab, select
Email service and click Configure to configure the email service. To configure this
service, you need an SMTP host name and port number for your email server. If the
SMTP server uses authentication, you will also need the user authentication details.
