  • The JS7 - Job Instruction allows to set the threshold values for minimum and maximum expected duration.
  • A warning does not impact execution of a job.
• Errors indicate job problems. The can be handled
  • automatically from a workflow, e.g. by use of the JS7 - Try / Catch Instruction,
  • manually by a user who can resume and skip execution of jobs in a workflow.
• Notifications are configured from the Configuration view, see JS7 - NotificationsNotification.
• The Notification view updates automatically if new warnings or errors are raised. It can therefore be used to continuously monitor job problems.
