TES can respond automatically to unusual situations that may arise while running a production schedule. Users can create predefined responses called actions. There are various types of actions ranging from sending an alert to the Tidal Web client to running a specific job when a designated condition occurs.
Certain job or system conditions have been designated by TES as “event triggers.” The occurrence of these conditions can be used to initiate or trigger a job and/or an action a user has defined.
By linking an event trigger to an action or a job, an automatic response called an event is created. When this event is associated with a condition that affects an individual job or all jobs in general, this defined response is known as a job event. If the event is associated with a condition that affects the entire system and not just jobs, this defined response is known as a system event.
Job and/or Action + Event Trigger = Event
Jobs, job events and actions are constructed in dialogs using a three-tier hierarchy. Each job can have any number of job events associated with it, and in turn, each job event can have any number of actions associated with it. A job triggers a job event only when its exception condition becomes true, which then triggers all of its associated actions.
Jobs, job events and actions can all be created separately and linked at any time. The
job-job event-action hierarchy can be linked from the
Job Event Definition
dialog and from the
Job Definition
or
Job Group Definition
dialog. In the
Job Event Definition
dialog, you can assign multiple jobs and actions to a single job event. In the
Job Definition
or
Job Group Definition
dialog, you can assign multiple job events to the job or job group, but you cannot assign actions to job events.
An action is a task or notification that is automatically performed by TES in response to a job event trigger that occurs for a specific job or job group or system event trigger. Actions are customized tasks and messages linked to a job or system event through the Job Event Definition and System Events dialogs. The job or system event is then associated with a job or job group. For example, an action to send email to the owner of a job that failed can be tied to a Job Completed Abnormally job event trigger. Another action that sends an alert message to the console can also be linked to the same job event so that two actions occur simultaneously when the job fails.
Note When multiple actions are defined for a single event, the actions are completed as the conditions to satisfy the event trigger are fulfilled.
From the Actions pane, you can view the actions that belong to you or your workgroups.
The types of actions you can choose from are:
TES lets you use system, job, job event and user-defined variables in action messages, making them applicable to many jobs. For instance, you could create an action called Job Stopped Email Notification , with variables in the message text that will be replaced at runtime with the job name and runtime. When you create a job and want to be notified if it stops during execution, you can associate the action with the job from the Job Event Definition dialog. If the job stops during execution, you receive an email referring to the job that triggered the event. You could even include in the message a variable representing the exit code at the time of completion.
From the Navigator pane, select Definitions>Actions to display the Actions pane. You must select one of the types of actions to display its pane to create or modify an existing action.
The Actions pane contains the following actions:
Note Buttons are only enabled after a type of action has been selected from the Actions pane.
This pane contains the following buttons:
Enter text that you want to search for within the columns displayed into this field.
Note This field at the top right of the grids will only search text columns that are not grayed out.

Select Preferences from the View main menu while viewing an Actions pane to display the Actions Preferences dialog for actions.
From an Actions Preferences dialog, you can select which columns are displayed in the pane for the selected type of action and in what order the columns appear.
When you right-click in the Navigator pane while viewing an Actions pane, the Navigator context menu displays.
The Navigator context menu contains the following options:
After selecting a folder associated with one of the six action types, if you right-click in the Actions pane, the Actions context menu displays.
The following describes the items in the Action Types pane context menu. The same menu appears for each type of action.
The Action Definition: Email Message dialog displays when you add or edit an email message action. An email action sends an email message in response to a job event or system event. You can send email to any individual or group with a valid email address in the mail system you have chosen. A user without a valid email address (provided on the Other tab in the User Definition dialog) cannot receive notification from an Email action. The individual receiving the email does not have to be a user of TES. For more information about setting up TES for email, see Getting Started, and the Installation and Configuration Guide.
Note To send email to a TES workgroup, that workgroup (not just the individual members) must have a mailbox, or be defined as a mailing list, in your email system. For help setting up a mailbox or mailing list, see your System or Mail Administrator.
Note When creating an email message for a system event about losing your database connection, do not use variables that will not work without a connection to the database, i.e., <JobName> or <JobStatus>.
Note The To: field can accommodate no more than 1024 characters. If you attempt to enter one or more email addresses whose total characters exceed this limit, your address(es) will be truncated automatically. Your email action will then fail to reach all its intended recipients. The solution is to create a mailing list through the TES Mailing List dialog.
The Mailing List dialog displays by clicking the Browse button in the To: field in the Action Definition: Email dialog. You can select one or more addresses for email actions from this dialog. Each recipient of the email action that is selected will be highlighted in the list of available email addresses in each field.
Note To select multiple consecutive addresses, click the first email address and while holding down the Shift key, click the last consecutive address.
To select multiple non-consecutive email addresses in each field, click individual desired addresses while simultaneously holding down the Ctrl key.
Remove existing recipients in the same way by also clicking their individual addresses while simultaneously holding down the Ctrl key.
TES Email Addresses Use this field to select the email addresses of TES users. In the case that no email address is assigned to a user, their TES user ID appears in the list and is used as a local email address. Email addresses are defined in the Other tab of the User Definition dialog.
You can also use the following variables in this field:
The Action Definition: Alert dialog displays when you add or edit an alert action. An alert action can be assigned one of four severity levels: Critical , Error , Warning and Information.
Note Critical level and Error level alerts can be associated with an alert sound. However, the computer that receives the alert must have a sound card and speakers for the alert sound to be effective. Alert sounds are configured from the Sound tab of the Alerts Preferences dialog.
–
Critical
– Sends the highest priority alert to the
Job Activity
pane when the action is triggered.
–
Error
– Sends a high priority alert to the
Job Activity
pane when the action is triggered.
–
Warning
– Sends a medium priority alert to the
Job Activity
pane when the action is triggered.
–
Information
– Sends the lowest priority alert to the
Job Activity
pane when the action is triggered.
The Action Definition: SNMP dialog displays when adding or editing an SNMP Message action. An SNMP action sends a message (also known as a trap) to an SNMP manager when the associated job or system event occurs. The computer which hosts the SNMP manager does not need to have TES installed.
TES uses the SNMP community, port, and host/IP address as set in the Windows SNMP Properties dialog.
By default, the SNMP action sends the trap to just the “public” community but TES can be configured to send SNMP traps to multiple communities and hosts. Older versions of TES used the Master.Props file to configuration the use of SNMP traps. The designated recipients of the SNMP traps are now specified in an XML file called snmpconfig.xml .
To create the configuration file, the following information must be gathered beforehand:
From the information that you have gathered, you must designate a default community, host machine and port number, in that order.
The information in the snmpconfig.xml configuration file is organized as follows, first the default properties and then a listing of the communities and their host members, if any.
The following rules must be followed when creating the snmpconfig.xml file:
An example of an snmpconfig.xml file illustrating the proper file formatting and using the rules stipulated above is shown below. In this example, the default community=public, the default hostname=localhost and the default port number=162.
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF–8”?>
<default_community value=”public”/>
<default_host value=”localhost”/>
<host hostname=”trapreceiver.mycompany.com” port=”362”/>
<host hostname=”networkaudit.mycompany.com”/>
Once the configuration file is created, it needs to be placed onto the master.
Step 1 Save the configuration file as snmpconfig.xml.
Place the snmpconfig.xml file into the TES master’s
config
directory.
If you installed the Windows master in the default location, this directory is at
C:\Program Files\Tidal\Scheduler\master\config.
If the Unix master was installed in the default location, this directory is at
/opt/Tidal/master/config
.
After the TES master restarts, it will reconfigure the SNMP settings according to the information in the snmpconfig.xml file. If you previously used the Master.Props file to configure SNMP, that configuration information is overridden. Examine the log file on the master to verify that the configuration was successful. If the snmpconfig.xml file cannot be used, the master will use the configuration specified in the Master.Props file.
The Action Definition: HP OpenView dialog displays when adding or editing an HP OpenView message action. An HP OpenView message action sends an HP OpenView message to an HP OpenView Operations software management node.
Note If you do not type a message here, there will be no content for the HP OpenView message when viewed from the HP OpenView Message Browser.
The Action Definition: Job dialog displays when adding or editing a job action. A job action adds a new job or job group to the production schedule when the associated job or system event occurs.
The Action Definition: Log dialog displays when you add or edit a log message action. A log action posts a message of your choice to the TES log when a job or system event occurs. Optionally, the same message can be recorded to the Unix console if on the Unix platform. The message can be defined as Error , Audit or Diagnostic .
–
Log as Windows Event
– Enable this option to log events to the console in Windows.
–
Event ID
– Assign an event number in Scheduler for the logging of the message to the Windows console.
The Action Definition: SAP dialog displays when adding or editing an SAP action. An SAP action sends a notification to the CCMS of a designated SAP instance that a specified event has occurred in TES.
The Action Definition: Variable dialog displays when adding or editing an update variable action. A variable action updates a user-defined variable when the job or system event occurs.
Note Only user-defined variables can be used for variable actions. Therefore, if you have not yet created your own variables, this action will not be available.
–
Set Variable Value
– Sets the variable’s value to the value given in the
Value
field. The value can be either a number, date or string.
–
Increment Variable Value
– If the variable is a number or date, increments the variable’s value. If the variable is a string, appends the new string value to the present string.
–
Decrement Variable Value
– If the variable is a number or date, decrements the variable’s value. If the variable is a string, then this option is unavailable.
For example, a variable can refer to the name of the primary printer being used. If the printer goes down, a job can track it and issue a job event that sends an email message to users explaining that the primary printer has gone down. The variable update can then be issued to change the default printer name.
You can send an email message to anyone with a valid email address in response to a job event or system event by creating an email action. You cannot send email to a workgroup unless that workgroup (not just the individual members) has a mailbox, or is defined as a mailing list, in your email system.
Note When creating an email message for a system event about losing your database connection, do not use variables that will not work without a connection to the database, i.e., <JobName> or <JobStatus>.
