Detect forgotten jobs

Post by dk_jad »

Hi, i've tried to figure out a way to detect if a job submitted by submit point and then gets caught in a checkpoint and left there for more than, lets say, 30 minutes and send an email to the user.

Anybody did this before? The email thing is simple, but I can't see a simple way to detect how long the job has been waiting at the checkpoint.

Hi

The Check Point Flow Element has a property of 'fail jobs after timeout'. Set it to Yes and select the preferred time.

Yeah, but then the user will have to resubmit the job, right? I will try to loop it through a connection that sends it back into the checkpoint to see if that works, but then I will introduce an extra option for the user in the checkpoint so it's not the optimal solution.
