Job Alert - messages

[Huddy]

I am in the process of a system design specification to replace or existing Job Monitoring software. The Software currently looks at WRKACTJOB for specific jobs that have a message wait or jobs that were expected to have ended by a specific time. If an error condition has been found, a message is generated and sent to a middle-ware product called HPopenView for filtering before escalating a call to Alarm Point.

Our focus is on the iSeries monitoring software but I was wondering if there was any method I could use to send message directly to a mobile via SMS, email or any other means other than having to go through different layers to get a message to our Out of Hours support team.

RPGLE/CL

Any suggestions?

many thanks for reading

Re: Job Alert - messages

you can download a command for send message waiting from my website that does this. it does require MMAIL (which is free at easy400.net) http://tommyholden.com in the downloads section.

Re: Job Alert - messages

Thanks Tom, looking at that now

Re: Job Alert - messages

Sorry if i sound to be an idiot, may I have compile instructions for the library? Thanks

Re: Job Alert - messages

This could work for you also

Hi Jamie, You're a star because your code is already live at our Bank. It's been live for 15 months now and is core to our over night batch runs

It's what gave me the idea for this next project.

I've been left to die in 400 world a bit.. so some of the latest stuff is above my head but not that much i can't pick things up.

Once again many thanks

the objects should already reside in the library if not then there should be a CL program source in the library you can compile and run to build the objects.

Re: Job Alert - messages

Hi Tom,

Ok I've installed MMAIL but I'm still having problems with your library. SNDMSGWAIT program won't compile. *7030 on SRCDTA.

Also what does this actually do? Do you have any notes on the utility?

Many thanks for your help.

Re: Job Alert - messages

CRTSRCPF QTEMP/MMAIL then OVRDBF MMAIL QTEMP/MMAIL then compile. what the tool does is monitor the QSYSOPR message queue for messages in a MSGW status, sends an email to your cell phone (which your cell phone carrier will convert to SMS message)

Re: Job Alert - messages

Thanks Tom,

Ok that compiled. On running SNDMSGWAIT i get any error "The call to GETPOINTER ended in error" - not found in TTLIB??

I don't have a TTLIB, I guess that's yor deb library so I changed that to the same library where the user space resides.. I get the same error.

Sorry for the Qs

[tomholden]

Re: Job Alert - messages

change TTLIB on this line to a library you have the user space in...:

dUserSpace        c                   Const( 'SNDMSGWAITTTLIB' )

Re: Job Alert - messages

Yep did that and recompiled. My library is SNDMSGWAIT.

I had to change ADDMSGNEP too.

                                                                                              
   // Get the pointer to the user space and add the user space                                
   //  entry                                                                                  
   Pointer = GetPointer( 'SNDMSGWAITTTLIB' );                                                 
   AddEntry( 'SNDMSGWAITTTLIB'

However, i still get an error

Re: Job Alert - messages

Nope - I can't get this working.



I'm pretty sure it's looking for the User Space SNDMSGWAIT as define in the program, but i can't find a user space by this name?

[tomholden]

Re: Job Alert - messages

the user space object is not in the library...

[Huddy]

Re: Job Alert - messages

Sorry how do I create it. I assumed it would be downloaded with the package ot the object would do it?
Thanks
