Email Alert for Failed Job

[tlynnm4591]

A client of mine running 10.1.1 is requesting to receive an email alert when a scheduled job fails. Can anyone point me towards a guide or a tutorial on what would be required to set this up? I'm fairly new to Cognos Admin and do not see any way to configure this at the job level, so I'm assuming there are other Cognos components that would need to be utilized to enable this to happen.

Again, I'm fairly new here, so if someone could point me to a more descriptive resource that would be best.

Thanks!

The is no automagic way of doing this yet. It's an often requested feature that IBM has yet to implement.

That said there is a round-about-way to getting this done.
1. Setup Auditing.
2. Install Sample Audit Reports.
3. Modify Sample Report(s) and use event studio to monitor for a failed job and send you an email.

Other topic asking the same thing. (Might want to consider searching the forums before posting. ;oD )

Thanks Grim,

I did try to search the forum before posting, but did not get any results, but otherwise appreciate your advice on using the forum correctly.

And where might someone who's never setup auditing or event studio get more information on how to complete the 3 steps required?

Thanks!

It's in the Installation and Configuration Guide, and the Administration and Security Guide.
