I have set up DAC to send emails to users (As per my previous entry- http://obieetips.blogspot.com/2010/02/dac-email-notification.html ), whenever the data load completes.
However, I have two problems.
1.
The email notifications do not work as expected.
Level 1 sends only failure emails but not success emails.
This is an open bug with oracle and the solution is to use Level 5 for the moment.
Level 5 works as expected- which is to send 'Running' as well as 'Failure'/'Success' emails, everytime an ETL load is started and completed.
This can be quite overwhelming for the users.
A bug already exists for this issue so we are eagerly awaiting a patch.
BUG:9133839 - DAC IGNORES NOTIFICATION LEVELS DEFINED FOR EMAIL RECIPIENTS
2.
The above email notifications are a bit too verbose for users who have limited time to check on the ETL status. Due to this I asked Oracle support if there was a way to change the email content so as to limit the amount of information to be sent over email to 'non-developers'. Unfortunately there is no way to modify the emails in version 10.1.3.4. It is part of the upcomign enhancements. I am looking forward to 11g.
ER is 7425308 / 8989562
Please let me know if you have any workarounds that we may be able to try or have any more updates on the latest from Oracle.
Thanks for reading,
