Options to get notifications if file watcher not triggered

[Santhosh Gollapudi]

** This is a duplicate post converting from Question type to Open-ended.

We have multiple continuous file watcher events in our projects. Events will not be having any schedule and procedure will be having below jobs:

1. File Watcher
2. SAP Job to process the file
3. Link/Task job to retrigger the event to reactivate the file watcher again.

For the first time when we create definition and event, we manually trigger the event to activate the file watcher.

Now, we have a ask that if we can setup any alerts if these jobs didn't run by a specific day and time. 

Like we wanted to be notified

• if event A didn't run every day atleast once by 11 PM ET. 
• if event B didn't run by 2nd day by 10 PM ET.

In other words, we need to be notified if we didn't receive the file by specific day / time. What are the options we have in ESP to achieve this ?

Hello Santhosh. My team uses this logic heavily. For both Linux and Windows
Can you further define didn't run by a specific day and time.

Here are some basic ingredients to start the ideas.

1. declare DUEOUT time.

   a. Example: DUEOUT EXEC 21.30 (EXEC when FILE_TRIGGER should complete)

2. declare what you want ESP to do should the file not show up by DUEOUT. Some examples of actions:

 a. send an email to a pre-defined esp MAILBOX

 b. automatically force-complete the appl containing your FILE_TRIGGER and successors

 c. automatically force-complete just the FILE_TRIGGER and let the successors run.

 d. simply have the FILE_TRIGGER become OVERDUE and visually observable as such in ESP Director
