Event Replicator User Exits

The Open Systems Event Replicator has a user exit which allows a you to run a job if an error with an Action type of Nx (see Event Replication Error Messages) occurs.  

 

To run a user-specified job when Nx errors occur, set NOTIFY to 1 and NOTIFY_CMD to the name of the user-specified job.

 

NOTIFY_CMD should contain the fully qualified path and file name of the job to be executed.  The job can be a program, shell script, batch file or command file.  It can contain multiple tasks.

 

If an Nx error occurs, the Event Replicator calls the NOTIFY_CMD command and passes a single parameter string containing the job name. The system will execute the job specified by NOTIFY_CMD parameter string. If no job is specified, the NOTIFY_CMD default job is "eventnotify."

 

In the samples directory, there is a VB .NET 2003 job. It creates a sendmail program that sends email notifications to a list of people specified in the sample eventnotify.cmd file.
