General
When a backup Job Scheduler instance in a Job Scheduler Backup/Failover cluster takes over, it could be usefull that someone will be informed about this. Here comes a simple approach how to get this.
JobScheduler Clusters. Sending email on take over
The idea is to make a job that starts once on Job Scheduler start and sends an email on certain conditions. One condition in a backup/failover cluster could be the host name of the server the backup Job Scheduler is running.
Here is the xml for this kind of job.
<job title="Send Mails" order="no" name="CheckStart">
<description >
<include file="jobs/JobSchedulerManagedMailJob.xml"/>
</description>
<params >
<param name="to" value="admin@company.com"/>
<param name="subject" value="Job Scheduler has been startet."/>
<param name="host" value="smtp.server"/>
<param name="body" value="Job Scheduler has been startet"/>
</params>
<script language="java" java_class="sos.scheduler.managed.JobSchedulerManagedMailJob"/>
<monitor name="check" ordering="0">
<script language="java:javascript">
<![CDATA[
function spooler_process_before() {
spooler_log.info(spooler.hostname);
return (spooler.hostname == "js_backup");
}
]]>
</script>
</monitor>
<run_time once="yes"/>
</job>
