Specifying job notifications
The scheduler can send e-mail notifications to recipients you specify. You can also determine particular events that trigger notifications, such as the start of a job or the end of a job that fails.
About this task
Note: Job notifications require the scheduler to contact an SMTP mail server. On Windows®, you
must specify the name of this server on the Options page of the ClearCase® program in Control Panel on each host where the
scheduler runs. On Linux® and the UNIX® system, the scheduler uses the/bin/mail program to send
notifications.
Procedure

Console or the cleartool schedule command.
- To use the DevOps Code ClearCase Administration Console, navigate to the Scheduled Jobs node for the host on which you want to specify a job’s notification information. To specify the notification information for a new job, click . In the window, supply the information needed to define a new job. After you specify the task, click the Settings page to specify notification events and recipients.

In the Properties window, click the Settings page to specify notification events and recipients.
