A job alert definition instructs OpenEdge Management to trigger a warning alert if the job execution time frame exceeds the time frame during which the process is scheduled to run. You can also associate an action with the alert.
To specify job completion actions and alerts:
1. Click the Edit button at the bottom of the Job page.
The Job Completion Action and Alerts page appears.
2. Enter an exit code number in the Exit Code field.
The number must be between 0 and 255. You can type the word default. From the Action drop-down list, select a predefined action to associate with the exit code. Click Add/Update. The exit code and action pair created display in parallel columns under their respective fields.
3. Repeat step 2 in this section to define additional exit code and action pairs. For example, you might have several exit code and action pairs.
4. In the Alert if execution time exceeds field of the Job Completion Action and Alerts page, enter the threshold of time after which you want a warning alert to trigger.
You can specify this time in minutes or hours, and you must use whole numbers. For example, if you want to be notified at the 30-minute mark that the job execution has not occurred, enter the value 30 in the first field and click Minutes from the drop-down list.
5. From the On alert perform action drop-down list, select an action from the list of available, predefined actions that you want to associate with this alert.
