Transport Notifications

Overview

To encourage proactive error checking a notification system has been created in order to automatically fire out an email under certain conditions.

Prerequisites

To get the message notification running, a schedule needs to be set up to with two steps: a step to create the notifications and a step to send the notifications in batches.

The Param Value, is a link to a publicly available calendar with public holiday information. Without it, then you will still create notifications on public holidays.

There are no param keys or values used to send out notifications, they have only been added to pass the validation.

Notification Types

General Settings

• Notification recipient, indicates who the notifications report will be sent to. To send to multiple emails separate each email address with ";".

• Create notification frequency, is how often in minutes a new notification will be created.

• Send notification frequency, is how often in minutes any newly created notifications will be grouped together and sent out in a batched email.

Message Age and Queue Depth

• The queued message threshold, means that if there are more messages than the specified number in the queue, then a notification will be created.

• The queued message age, means if there are messages older than the specified number in hours in the queue, then a notification will be created.

• Both subjects can be left blank and will be automatically filled after the initial save.

• If the number value is left as 0, then a notification will not be created.

Missing Messages

• • Subject can be left blank and will automatically be filled after the initial save.

  • Missing messages can be checked either: Daily, Weekly or Monthly. The check frequency enables more custom time periods for checking.

  • E.G. we are only expecting a new message every two weeks, then "How often to check" will be weekly and "Check frequency" will be 2.

  • The start and end times mean that missing messages will only be checked between those hours.

  • The check boxes for the days of the week mean that a notification will only be generated on the days where it has been checked.

  • The public holidays checkbox, when ticked, will disable the notifications from being generated on public holidays.

  • This is functionality is only available when the CustomCalendar parameter and value has been set in the scheduler.
