Specifying Job Responses

You can define job responses to occur after a job completes. Typical job responses include:

• Notifying the operator by using e-mail, electronic paging, or a net send message.

  Use this job response if the operator must perform a follow-up action. For example, if a backup job completes successfully, the operator must be notified to remove the backup tape and store it in a safe location.

• Writing an event message to the Microsoft® Windows NT® application log.

  You can use this response only for failed jobs.

• Automatically deleting the job.

  Use this job response if you are certain that you will not need to rerun this job.
