Emails can be sent if a profile has not been started within a certain period of time. If a profile starts without input data, that does not count as a profile start. By profile start, we mean the starting time of a job, not the arrival time of the data. Both times may differ significantly due to queuing.

Important note: On a test system, control points have no effect.

Settings

(1) Mail message: Subject, sender, receiver and message text.

(2) Checkpoints: See section "Definition via duration" below.

(3) SMTP settings: The access data for the SMTP server to be used.

Definition via duration

If the profile does not receive any data, starting from the defined checkpoint time until the end of the duration, an email will be sent. You can define overlapping intervals. Note: Entries with duration "0" are no longer possible. Old entries of this kind (till version 3.5.4) still work.

Day	Hour	Minute	Duration (Min)
Monday	8	0	120

Example: Assume a checkpoint entry for Monday at 08:00 and a duration of 120 minutes. If the profile does not receive data between Monday, 08:00 and Monday, 10:00, an email will be sent.

Important note: If a checkpoint is defined for 20:00 with a duration of 30 minutes and the system is restarted at 20:15 or the profile is saved again, the system behaves as if no job had been started if in fact a job was started between 20:00 and 20:15 clock. However, this only applies to a non-regular shutdown. This is not the case with a clean shutdown.

Checkpoint entry at restart

At a profile restart, you can set, whether a checkpoint entry should be made or not.
