Post Proc SHOUT

Post by gratedsandy » 01 Dec 2010 11:34

I have a Requirement to send a SHOUT if a job execute for more than 22 hours. However, I see that the 'EXECTIME' alert supports a value of upto 999 minutes.
I am also unable to use a Late-Time alert here since our NEWDAY runs at 07:00 am and if I use a Late-time alert, the alert will be issued even before this job begins executing. ( around 18:00 hours)

Does someone have any tricks up their sleeve ?

Try one of these:

1) If you don't need it exactly 22 hours, you can have shout ExecTime +nnn. In this case it should shout when job executes for nnn minutes plus historical average. Similarly nnn is max 999 but CTM limits nnn+average to 24 hours.

2) If you want it exactly 22 hours, kicks off processing job together with a filewatcher job with timeout of 1320 minutes at the same time. Processing job at the end should create a file for filewatcher to end OK. If filewatcher times out and ends NOTOK, it can send you a notification.
