Job fails to run if it can not contact SMTP se

Hi,

It appears the Scheduler will fail to start job if the scheduler can not contact the SMTP define under options. Is there a way to override this?
The smtp servers are in a cluster and we do expect them to be available. But we do not want to prevent a job from running if the SMTP server is not available. The notification is a luxury, the job running as schedule is a necessity.

Can you please confirm my suspicions?

Thank you

You can enable "ignore job errors" option. This will ensure that the job will continue running after an error. However this will also ignore all other errors.

Another solution is to use script type notification actions.
Exampe script:

OnErrorResumeNext
MailSend .... notification message here ....
LogAddMessageEx "INFO", @V"job_id", "@V"job_name"", "Notification for event @V"event""

Hmm,

If I completely define the mailto fields in the job then I do not have to define the SMTP information under Tools-Options?
This would be okay I think.

Thank you for clarifying this for me.

The email settings including email address from Tools-Options are used for server authentication
