About batch notifications

The Opportunity Detect engine can run batch files when it completes a run. You can use these files to issue different notifications for each successful and failed engine run.

An example batch file is shipped with the product; you must edit this file as needed to perform the appropriate actions for your system when the Opportunity Detect engine completes a run. If the batch file is empty, no further processing takes place.

The batch file must be a shell script with the .sh extension. It must have executable permission (755).

When you run the Opportunity Detect engine from the Batch Run tab in a workspace, check the Batch Notification check box and specify the file name to run a batch file when the process completes.

Batch file usage examples

After an engine process runs successfully, the notification file can call an external process to act on the reported outcome data.
After an engine process fails to complete, the notification file can send a notification of the failure to the appropriate people.

Batch file required location

You must create a scripts directory on the machine where Streams is installed, under the /home/streamsadmin/OpDetection directory, if it has not been created previously. Place your batch file in this directory.
