| Subject | Chain task allows email notifications of tasks within it? |
| Date | 01/20/2006 |
| Message | I am having the following problems, any help
is appreciated.
1. Email Notification - I am attempting to utilze the email notification menu option to report whenever a task completes with an code > 0 and cannot seem to get it to work. On many of my tasks and chains I am using email notification tasks to denote completion and they are functioning fine under the same email server configuration. I would like to get the general email notification working so I do not have to place error email tasks between all of the tasks in all my chains. ?? Thanks Sean |

Hi Sean,
Your email notify settings are fine. However, i could not see where the exit code was > 0 in the activity log. If any exit code > 0 , then email should be sent, but in your activity log, all tasks ended with exit code = 0. Try and make a task fail (i.e. enter wrong directory for a copy task etc..) so that error occurs and exit code >0 . then see if email is sent. -- Sincerely, Melvin Desilva Hitek Software |

I have tasks that end in >0 but they are nested within scheduled chains
that still end in 0. Does the email notification only work against
scheduled tasks?
Thanks Sean |

Hi Sean,
Yes, Email Notification is only for the top level scheduled tasks. i.e. if a task is part of a chain or called from another monitoring task, it will not trigger a notification. -- Sincerely, Melvin Desilva Hitek Software |
| Comment | In Version 6.12, Added new option to the chain task to allow email notifications of tasks within it. |
