Find Message Handlers defined

devnhi · Post by **devnhi** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 3:52 pm

Hi All

We have some jobs defined with some message handlers to handle the warnings at the job level. Is there any way to scan through the jobs and figure out if they have message handler defined for them? Is that possible ?

I would really appreciate all your time and inputs regarding.

One way is to look at the job logs. If there is a message handler (or more than one) defined, then there will be an entry soon after the "job starting" event. If any message handler is invoked there is another log entry near the end of the job run summarising which message handlers were invoked.

Via the operating system is not as conclusive - you can find the message handler file for local message handlers associated with the job, but there are also global (named) message handlers. For these there's no convenient mechanism to determine to which jobs they're attached.

you can easily look into the DS Administrator for project level handlers

True, but which of them is associated with which job (if any)?

yes Ray!..I agree that we need to look into job logs in order to associate the handler with JOb

Project Level message handlers are applicable to all jobs unless it is overridden by local ones, from what I can recall. So if you are able to find the local ones then you can just invert the selection to find the project level message handlers are associated with which all jobs. IMO.

Actually it's THE project level default message handler - there can only be one of these. But there can be other named message handlers extant that are attached to zero or more jobs.
