Automic Workload Automation

Hi, I have a job which runs every 5 mins and emails if it fails. But, I want it to email only if the job fails more than Three times, not every single time. Is there a way or specific object to do this

Hi,

Without knowing anything about your process, a quick solution could be:

1. Create a VARA Object VARA.COUNTER and specify the key FAILED_ATTEMPTS and add Value_1 as 0

2. Put this into the post process tab of your job

:SET &RETCODE# = GET_UC_OBJECT_STATUS()
:SWITCH "Y"
:  CASE &RETCODE# between 1800 and 1899
:  SET &COUNTER# = GET_VAR(VARA.COUNTER, FAILED_ATTEMPTS)
:  SET &COUNTER# = &COUNTER#+1
:  PUT_VAR VARA.COUNTER, "FAILED_ATTEMPTS","&COUNTER#"
:  IF &COUNTER# > "3"
:    SET &MAIL# = SEND_MAIL(.....)
:    PUT_VAR VARA.COUNTER, "FAILED_ATTEMPTS", "0"
:  ENDIF
:  OTHER
:  PUT_VAR VARA.COUNTER, "FAILED_ATTEMPTS", "0"
:ENDSWITCH

Hi

Alternatively, if you can using the RESTART TASK option within Automic, you can also use the internal system variable &$RESTART_COUNT# to monitor the restart count and put in the code accordingly to send email when the RESTART_COUNT reaches 3.

Hope this helps.
