I haven't really had a chance to play around with BE too much, but I was curious if there was anyway to automate the sending of job completion notifications, particularly in the case of failures. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Under Tools on the BE server you can setup you email and pager notification server details and then create recipients for those notifications. Then in the details of each job you can select any of the recipients you created in the Notifications section and alse decide on whether to send the job log with the email.
