Description
Creating and using a Monitoring and Alerting Server Taskset doesn't need to be used with just analysis workflows. Tasksets can be used for any workspace with Type=SVB Analysis. Below is the workspace properties for the workspace named WriteSSToDatabase with Type=SVB Analysis.
To automate running a workspace with Type=SVB Analysis, follow the steps below.
To automate running a workspace with Type=SVB Analysis, follow the steps below.
Environment
OS: Windows
Resolution
Prerequisites:
The example below demonstrates how to schedule a workspace with an email notification upon failure.
1. The workspace is using the two nodes, as below:
Note: Any workspace which can be deployed to Enterprise Manager can be used.
2. Deploy the workspace to Enterprise Manager (do not use the "Save to Enterprise" as this can save the workspace as a General Document instead of an SVB Analysis):
3. Create and configure a Taskset
b1. Add Task by selecting the workspace deployed in step 2 above, select the Permissions desired, create a NULL return code, then click "Commit". Attach the taskset to a system folder of choice:
Note: The "Admin email address" is where the taskset failure notice will be sent.
Taskset Failure:
Email Notification of taskset failure:
Note: Emails are sent only for taskset failures.
- A Spotfire Statistica MAS environment. Spotfire Statistica® Monitoring and Alerting Server (MAS) is an add-on feature which must be already installed.
- A user with access to Enterprise Manager
- An existing email server
- Configured SMTP in Enterprise Manager (see https://support.tibco.com/s/article/How-to-configure-Enterprise-manager-for-alarm-emails-and-Job-emails)

3. Create and configure a Taskset
a. Right-click on "Server Task Set" and select "New Taskset":
b. Configure the taskset

b2. Schedule the Taskset by selecting Schedule. Configure the schedule as desired and click "Commit":
b3. Select Options, add an "Admin email address", increase the Maximum time for tasks to run, if necessary, and configure the "Error handling". Click "Commit". "Alarms and Rules" do not apply:
Note: The "Admin email address" is where the taskset failure notice will be sent.
4. Create an Alarm Dashboard by following the steps in this knowledge base article:: https://support.tibco.com/s/article/How-to-create-a-MAS-dashboard

Email Notification of taskset failure:
Note: Emails are sent only for taskset failures.
