Requires Work Basket - Add/Edit Permissions

As long as an email server has been configured, you can select a task that is in one of the following in-progress states and request an email notification upon success or failure of that task:

  • RUNNING
  • BLOCKED
  • QUEUED
  • PAUSED
  • PAUSED ON FAILURE

To configure an email notification, right-click on an in-progress task in the Work Basket and select Notification. The Task Notification dialog lets you specify one or more email addresses (semicolon or comma-separated) that will receive an alert upon successful task completion or upon task failure.

By default, notifications are sent for successfully completed and failed tasks to you and the specified email addresses.

Note: A System User in a role with the appropriate System-level permissions must configure a mail server for email notifications to work.

This type of notification is sent by default to confirm task completion when you configure email addresses. Clearing the checkbox disables the notification.
  • Failure— For the specified email addresses, sends an email notification if the task fails. This type of notification is sent by default for a task failure when you configure email addresses. Clearing the checkbox disables the notification.
