Notifications
The Notifications feature enables you to have the system send a message to one or more email
addresses when a designated number of exceptions are tied to a specific domain or
metric. That email will include a link to the failed records in the Exception Editor of
the Business Steward Portal, where you can manually enter the correct data. To stop
receiving notifications at a particular email address, remove that address from the list
of recipients in the Send notification to line of the Edit domain page.
Note: Notifications must be set up in the Management Console before you can successfully
use a notification from within Business Steward Configuration. See the Administration
Guide for information on configuring notifications.
- In Business Steward Configuration, open the Domains page or the Metrics page.
- Select the domain or metric that you want to add a notification for and click the Edit item button.
- Select email address(es) from the drop-down list (as configured in Management Console) or enter new email addresses that the notifications should be sent to.
- Select the number of exception records that should trigger a notification.
- Enter the text that should be sent as the subject of the notification.
- Enter the message that should appear in the body of the notification. You can
use variables in the message to relay important information about the
exception(s), including the following:
- ${jobID}—The ID number of the job that produced the exception record(s).
- ${jobName}—The name of the job that produced the exception record(s).
- ${userName}—The name of the user whose job that produced the exception record(s).
- ${stageLabel}—The name of the dataflow stage that produced the exception record(s).
- ${link}—A link to the Editor page in the Business Steward Portal, showing records for a particular dataflow.
- Check the Send reminder box if you want to send a reminder notification, and select the number of days that should pass before the reminder is sent.
- Enter the text that should be sent as the subject of the reminder notification.
- Enter the message that should appear in the body of the reminder notification. The reminder
uses an additional variable:
- ${Count}—The number of exceptions for the specified dataflow or stage that have yet to be resolved.
- Check the Remind daily box if you want a reminder notification to be sent every day until the exceptions are resolved.
