Configuring Email Notification for a Flow

A flow can be configured to send an email notification containing job status information. For example you may want to send an email alert if a flow fails. The email notification can contain information such as the flow name, the start and end time, the number of records processed, and more.

Note: A mail server must be configured in Spectrum Management Console before you can set up notification for a flow. For more information, see the Spectrum Technology Platform Administration Guide.
