Setting Backup Job Notification Options

The Backup Job Notification Options dialog controls who receives messages pertaining to the current job when it is run.

To set backup job notification options:

In the Job Options step of the Block backup wizard, complete the Backup Job Notification Options dialog box as needed.

An explanation of each field and the available choices follows:

• Mail information

  Two sets of mail information can be specified:

Output Email	Specifies that the subsequent fields apply to reports that are sent when a job has completed.
Operator Email	Specifies that the subsequent fields apply to mount requests, error messages, and informational messages that are sent during a job.

• To

  The email address of the primary recipient of your message. Only one “To” address is permitted.

• Cc

  Carbon Copy. The email address(es) of the secondary recipient(s) of your message. Use a semicolon to delimit multiple email addresses.

• Bcc

  Blind Carbon Copy. The email address(es) of the secondary recipient(s) not identified to other recipients. Use a semi-colon to delimit multiple email addresses.

• Subject

  The subject of your message. The subject line usually contains a combination of straight text and variable elements. Variables, which must begin with %, are replaced with actual corresponding values. If you enclose variables in double quotation marks, those variables are treated as literal values. You can embed the following variables:

  • %JOBNAME

  • %JOBID

  • %JOBTYPE

  • %RC

  Use %RC to include the return code in the message for this run of the job, when applicable.

  Note that the following characters are invalid in all fields: < > ; and single quote.

• No Notification

  Selecting this check box option temporarily disables notifications for the job without deleting the currently defined job notification data. This option is not available for Catalog backup or Copy.

Note. DPX emailing must be enabled when you first configure your Enterprise. At that time, you supply general system information, including SMTP Host Name and SMTP Port. See Editing an Enterprise Configuration.
