Email notification for max_run_alarm in Autosys

[Sharath Kumar]

Hi All,

I have a question regarding the email notification for the max run alarms in the Autosys job. I have created the autosys  job and added the max alarm on the job(This is a file watcher job). We don't have the send notification feature (Send_notification: y & notification_emailaddress: [e-mail]) in our Autosys environment.

Can you please help me on the below . Thanks for your help in advance.

1. Can I get email notification for max run alerts if yes, please send me the sample syntax. OR
2. Can I use Autorep command or any other command to find if there is any max run alert generated for all the jobs in our application.

Q)Can I use Autorep command or any other command to find if there is any max run alert generated for all the jobs in our application.

autorep command can be used to find the max run alerts or a Alert policy can be created under WCC Monitoring tab

- autorep -j All | grep "Maxrun" ( For all the jobs under application )

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Thanks Shiva Krishna for your help.  We don't have send notification in our Autosys environment and so we cannot confiure SMTP server to receive emails for alerts using attributes ((Send_notification: y & notification_emailaddress: [e-mail]) ) as mentioned in my first email. The purpose of this job is used to check for the file (fw job) and if the file is not avaialble on the schedule time the max_run_alert attribute will be used to generate the alert. Do we have anyother option other than the SMTP email configuration to receive the alert notification ?

And also autorep command can only get the report of the status of the jobs like (started, failed, sucess, on ice, off ice, terminated, inactive, terminated) but can't provide the information of the job that has attribute defined as Max_Run_Alarm.  
autorep -j All | grep "Maxrun" doesn't work. Please correct me if there is any syntax error.

Alert policy can be created under WCC Monitoring tab
Alert policy only includes Running, Starting, Success, Failure, Terminated, OnIce, IN active, Activated, Restart, On Hold, Quue wait, Pending Machine, Waiting on Resource, On No Execution, Suspended, Unknown has no attribute with Max_Run_Time alarm.

Sample job: ( I am looking for the command for the status of the attribute highlighted below in Red).

box_name: Test.B
