This requirement is a standard feature of Control-M V8.

I think only the option with version 7 is. You set the alerts for all the failures and disregard first two

Use Steps Panel: ON Statement: *
Code: RUNCOUNT=3
DO Mail
Also change Maxreruns = 2 on the Execution Panel if you don't want it to keep rerunning past this point.

Hello,

In this case, we will get an email even the 3rd is successful. we need if 3rd run failed, then only we need email.

If 3rd run is success, no email or any other actions required.

Thanks in advance!!

At least you know that it has failed at least twice. Add a note in the email to review the attached sysout to determine if it has failed on this run. You then need to change the parameter in DO MAIL Attach sysout = YES.

There is only so much you can do with the job definition. It is limited because the Steps panel does not allow ON (*) and ON (*). If it did you could code ON * COMPSTAT=1 AND ON * RUNCOUNT=3 DO.... but this is not possible. We have the production support team review the job/email on the third run to determine success. At some point you will need to do some manual intervention anyway if it keeps failing.

Hello, I just tested what SKSKD said and it worked for me, you should try it.

i'm using a solaris enviroment so i have created a simple script

Code: Select all


user@server # cat ./prueba
#!/bin/bash
echo TERMINOMAL

and the job like this:

Code: Select all


[ON] Statement = *
        Code= RUNCOUNT=3,TERMINOMAL
[DO] NOTOK

so, in your case it should work like this:

get your error message: eXAMPLEerr

Code: Select all


[ON] Statement = *
        Code= RUNCOUNT=1,eXAMPLEerr
[DO] Rerun

[ON] Statement = *
        Code= RUNCOUNT=2,eXAMPLEerr
[DO] Rerun

[ON] Statement = *
        Code= RUNCOUNT=3,eXAMPLEerr
[DO] Mail \\and fill the mail parameters

you can add [DO] NOTOK on each failure or the last one, that's on your behalf

regards,

I have been coding for seven years and never knew you could use it that way. I even opened a ticket with BMC in the early years because there was a note in the manual stating you could perform an On * AND On * of which they determined was a misprint. I am the only Control-M person at my company and have no one to discuss issues with therefore the Forum. Thanks SKSKD and everyone that contributes to the Forum.
