Failed BGtask to send Email notifications

kazuyuki-mochizuki

Hi Guys,

Has anyone already implemented sending an email when bgtask fails?

What I have so far is an AES event for "TaskOnPerformFailed" and an extension class that will log the FE(TaskErrorMessage) to a text file. I still haven't tried sending FE(TaskErrorMessage) thru email directly as I'm doing this on my local machine and smtp is not configured.

I'm curious if there are other ways to do this or the right way to do this (ex. like should this be in extension classes or maybe should this be on IdoOnItemUpdate event).

any thoughts tips tricks pitfalls or advice would be appreciated.

Note: we are in SL8 and we do this thru SQL Triggers but we will be moving to the cloud soon and researching on how to implement this kind of scenario.

Thanks,

Kazuyuki

Cloud has out-of-the-box IDM integration; this is done using AES on TaskPostPerform...there an email is sent to the user if it fails ...you could do the same?

Action#1 Lookup user email address

IDO("UserNames")
PROPERTIES("PrimaryEmailAddress, UserId, Username")
FILTER(SUBSTITUTE("Username = '{0}'", ORIGINATOR()))
ORDERBY("UserId")
USELOCALPASSWORD(FALSE)
SET(RE(UserEmailAddress) = "PrimaryEmailAddress")

Action#2 Send email with attachment if error

CONDITION(E(UserEmailAddress) LIKE "*@*.*")
TO(E(UserEmailAddress))
SUBJECT(MESSAGE("E=FRM_POST_TO_WORKFLOW", EVENTTITLE()))
HTMLFORMAT(TRUE)
BODY(E(eErrMsg))
ATTACH(ALL)
