As SLIK processes each job
both error and
custom alert messages may be remitted. SLIK
alerts the nominated Batch Administrator(s) of any errors encountered, or
actions completed that generated custom alert messages referenced from a job,
using either the email or pager notification facility available in SLIK.
A column is provided in the Alert
Operator Maintenance form that allows you to specify one or more file/path
patterns to send with the email. Use
a semicolon to separate the file patterns.
e.g
[C:\SLIK\Output\*.txt;C:\SLIK\Output\*.log]
An alert is a user-defined message to
be sent via email. Each recipient
has to be first defined in the Administrator
table.
Refer here for instructions on creating Administrator
records.
The special administrator name
“<Batch Administrator>” provides a way to define generic alert
messages that get sent to the appropriate batch administrator at run time. When
SLIK processes an alert message and sees the special label, "<Batch
Administrator>", it substitutes this for the administrator specified in
the batch. Using this special administrator name reduces the need to duplicate a
lot of general-purpose messages, typically using SLIK variables, which need to
be sent to various administrators.
Alert records are created using the
following form:
|
AlertID |
The AlertID field holds the
system generated unique identifier. The
AlertID field automatically populates on creation of the alert
record.
