Publishing Error Tracking and Notification

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion

Hi.

Is there anybody out there who’s set up any kind of automated notification system for publishing errors? If so, how did you do it? And is there any kind of Percussion recommended method for publishing error notifications?

Thanks

We’ve set up a SQL job that runs after nightly publish completes. In it, pub logs table is queried for Errors. If any found, email is sent to admins from the same job.

We have a cron job that runs every half hour,

#!/bin/bash

unset TERM
PUBLOGS="/apps/$USER/Rhythmyx/AppServer/server/rx/deploy/publogs.war"
WATCHFILE="/apps/$USER/tools/publishing/watchpublog"
ERRLOGSFOUND=`find ${PUBLOGS}/ -newer ${WATCHFILE} -name "publog*error.log"`
touch ${WATCHFILE}
if [ "$ERRLOGSFOUND" != "" ]; then
        /bin/mail -s "Publication Error" rxadmin@vt.edu << ENDMSG
$ERRLOGSFOUND
ENDMSG
