Notifications

Notifications are created for job warnings and errors:

  • Warnings include indicating if a job was running shorter or longer than expected. 
    • The JS7 - Job Instruction allows the threshold values for minimum and maximum expected duration to be set.
    • 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 - Notification.
  • The Notification view updates automatically if new warnings or errors are raised. It can therefore be used to continuously monitor job problems.

The Notification view is shown in the following screenshot:
