You are absolutely right, that would be "much easier if it's part of the job properties setup", but just imagine how many possible options should be included to the Job Properties Wizard in order to cover all possible situations and scenarios. You are also right that you "can work around this with JAL script". Also, consider that you can create a library of user-defined JAL statements that can cover most of this functionality so at the end of the dual output job (or may be more output scenarios) you simply call your JAL statement with some parameters, for example, job name, semaphore file name, and email text and subject to be send) Anyway, you can submit an enhancement request to support@softtreetech.com : I'm using version 2.2.0. : I would like to set up jobs so that when the job completes, : an e-mail is sent and a semaphore file is created. When the : job fails, I would like an e-mail to be sent. : Right now, if my job fails, I get an e-mail on the execution : and the semaphore file is created also. : In short, is there a feature in newer versions, or can a : feature be put in the next one, so that independent action/s : can be taken based on job completion and based on an execution : error, etc. : I know you can work around this with JAL script to take care : of the e-mail, but it would be so much easier if it's part of : the job properties setup. : Thanks.
