send email alerts when a scheduled task is failed.

macpao64 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi all,

I'd like to send email alerts when a scheduled task running in QEMC is failed.

I have set up the mail server and the test mail is properly being sent.

I put in QEMC - System - Distribution Service - Alert email the recipient email address.

But when a scheduled task fails the recipient does not receive email and I don't find anything about the email sending into the log.

What have I missed to set.?

Thanks

Hi Paolo

Have you entered the email adress(es) under the tab System - Distribution Service - Alert Email?

Hi Magnus,

yes I did, I used the same one of the test.

I also put this address into the field Send all e-mails to: (Mail Server - General ), but it doesn't work.

I 've done a task of a new application .qvw

when this new scheduled task fails the recipient receives the email.

Why this? I haven't modified the server setting.

Have you checked the logs for clues?

The task logs and Root log for Distribution Service. Please post them here if you need assistance.

Hi Amit,

I did it, with my eMail address

Hi all,

I've not modified the QMC setup,

I've only stopped and started all QlikView services.

Now when a scheduled task fails the recipients receive correctly the emails.

It may be the solution?

Hi,

Did you configured the Mail Server details in

QMC -> System-> Setup -> Mail Server

Configure Host Name, post, From address etc.

Without this alerts won't work.

Jagan.

I set everything as you say.

but for some tasks the mail was not sent.

Since when I stopped and started all QlikView services

all work well for all tasks.

It is a global setting, it should not happen for some tasks.

Hi Jagan,

you're right, it is very strange.

In fact, since I stopped and started all services QlikView

all work well for all activities.
