There are several parameters that can apply to any step. In the Web UI, they will appear at the bottom of each step, as follows:
• On Error: Report (default is checked)
This controls whether an error in this step results in a red line for the run in the UI.
INI file syntax:
report_on_error=true (or false), default is true
• On Error: Email (default is checked)
This will cause it to not send an error email if this step fails.
INI file syntax:
skip_email_on_error=true (or false), default is false
Note that the INI variable is the negative of the Web UI field.
For example, if skip_email_on_error is true, then the On Error: Email checkbox will be false
(unchecked) when it is displayed through the Web UI.
• On Error: Continue (default is unchecked)
This will cause it to go on to the next step even if this step fails.
INI file syntax:
continue_on_error=true (or false), default is false
• Notes
Provides space for you to include your own notes on what a step does or rational for including a particular step.
INI file syntax:
There is no specific notes field using INI syntax, but you can enter comments in an INI file by
starting a line with a semicolon (;). These will be converted into the "Notes" field when it is displayed
in the Web UI. Example:
[deliver]
; Place all *.doc files in the current file set into local directory D:\incoming
specification=*.doc
path=D:\incoming
• alter_date_macros
This INI-only option is used to adjust time macros such as %year, %month, and %day according to the given relative, human readable time adjustment (example arguments: "-1 month", "5 days", "-12 hours"). It must be placed above any usage of the time macro in the job step's INI form. Example:
[name_jobStep2]
;rename but using alter_date_macros to set time macros 1 month in the past
alter_date_macros=-1 month
replace=%year + %month + %day + %hour + %minute + "_${1}"
report_on_error=true
skip_email_on_error=false
continue_on_error=false
