Default on Error - Hook should send a mail

[Christoph Hölscher]

Hi,
I found the Function-Component "SendEmailFC".
It works fine, that it sends E-Mails when data is changed with a
Assamble-Line.
But one thing, it couln´t solve on my own:

I would realise to get an E-Mail, wenn the Assamble-Line doesnt work.
I tried to realise this by using the hook "Default on Error", but found no
way to do so.
Is something like that possible?

Best wishes

Christoph

Hi Christoph,

You have a couple of options here:

1). Have a configured SendEmail FC in your Assemblyline, called
for example "SendMail". and then from your Error Hook you
invoke it:

var mailEntry = system.newEntry();
mailEntry.setAttribute("body", "Error in [" + task.getShortName()
+ "/" +
error.getString("connectorname")
+ "] during " +
error.getString("operation"));
mailEntry.setAttribute("subject", "Error mail from TDI: " +
error.getString("Message"));

// other param values you can override with Output Mapped
Attributes:
// attachments, from, recipients, smtpServerHost,
smtpServerPort

SendMail.perform(mailEntry);

2). Or you use the system.sendMail() method. Just look it
up in the JavaDocs (Help > Low Level API) under the class
named "UserFunctions"

Christoph,

I saw Eddie's answer... as he advices, you can use a passive component
by invoking it via scripting... or use the sendMail method... but you
could also simply set a variable or work entry attribute in the error
hook and use a branch (named IF_ERROR for instance) to send the email
(see
http://www.tdi-users.org/twiki/pub/Integrator/LearningTDI/03Branches_and_AttMap_Components.wmv)
The later approach would make your AL slightly more "visual"...

HTH,

Here I am usually advocating "visible logic" in the
AL thru Branches, Loops and SCs rather than Hook
coding (when possible), and then I go off and recommend
doing this in a Hook.

Thanks, Christian :)
