Job Notification Random Features

If you've worked with job notifications in the past then you probably already know this, but I thought it was worth discussing. Any time you change the name of the operator you want to notify, the event that the operator is notified upon defaults back to 'On Success'.

There are three different events that will generate notification from the job properties:

• When the Job Completes - generates whether the job fails or completes
• When the job Fails - generates notification only upon failure
• When the job Succeeds - generates only upon job success

The problem comes in that intermittently when you change the operator to be notified, the event will default back to 'When the job Fails'. This is a great problem in that you would not be notified in the event of job success.
