Specifying Job Responses
You can define job responses to occur after a job completes. Typical job responses include:
- Notifying the operator by using e-mail, electronic paging, or a net send message.
Use one of these job responses if the operator must perform a follow-up action. For example, if a backup job completes successfully, the operator must be notified to remove the backup tape and store it in a safe location.
- Writing an event message to the Microsoft® Windows® application log.
You can use this response only for failed jobs.
- Automatically deleting the job.
Use this job response if you are certain that you will not need to rerun this job.
