1.17 Email notification

You can configure JP1/AO to send a notification email when it detects a task error or failure. To use the email notification feature, you need to set the required information in shared built-in service properties and the email notification definition files.

The following figure shows an overview of email notification:

Email notification

You can use the SMTP server in the JP1/AO system to send email in text format that reports the abnormal status of a task.

A notification email is sent when:

JP1/AO detects that a task has entered In Progress (with Error) status
JP1/AO detects that a task has entered Failed status

Note that JP1/AO does not send a notification email if a task fails because it was stopped by a user. Emails are also not sent if the task was in In Progress (with Error) or In Progress (Terminating) status before transitioning to Failed status.

Email notification also takes place when you execute a service generated from a service template that uses the Email notification plug-in.
