Step fail notify failed to send email notification.
Hi,
At the Project level, the Fail Notify is set to NONE. At the step leve, the Fail Notify is set to an ACCESS GROUP. However, Step's "on Fail" is set to "Continue". When the step failed, it didn't send email notification. Looking at the log, the step is marked with , and the overall job status is set to "Failed but continue". We want to get the email notification if one of the steps failed and we don't want halt the job on failed steps. And the error condition is determined using Log filter.

Hi, Hi, What release/build are you using? I've noticed that in the early release 7.1.3 milestone build it works as you expect. Would it work for your project build to set an access group on your filter? Brent Ulbricht RTC Build Lead |
Hi Brent,
Thank you for the reply.. We are currently running on 7.1.2... So you are saying this is fixed in 7.1.3. I'll work with my AVP assess the implications of migrating from 7.1.2 to 7.1.3. |
Hi Brent, that word "migrate" implies all the complicated things involved in the 7.0.x -> 7.1.x upgrade. We don't like that word :) I've done several 7.1.2->7.1.3 upgrades here as part of build test. Some with rather large DBs. It takes a few minutes and can be done as part of the installation process. I suggest working with your DBAs to dupe your DB to a test instance, install your current version of 7.1.2 against it, and try upgrading it to the latest milestone. |
Thanks Robert for your feedback.
Yes, I did use the word migrate based on the expirence I had with 7.0.x to 7.1.2. The BF project I am currently working on has drawn attentions from my management. So, I need to be extra cautious when applying the latest code. I would prefer if I don't need to do the upgarde. I just tried Brent's recommendation.. the access group for both project and log filter are the same. If I set the "on Fail" to continue. it won't triger the notify failed. I also tried with exit code instead of the Log filter, same thing. However, I was able to work around this issue using another project and set it as Fail chain project. That worked. Now, I am able to get the nofication with Project status as "Failed, but continue.". This is not what I like.. but for now.. It works. just extra logs in the DB. |
