What is a Policy?

You can use Policies to specify when and how often a job should run and when you should be notified when a certain condition is met.

Policies are a set of conditions for job activities. If the conditions are met, a job will execute or you’ll receive a notification. You’re alerted to new notifications within the Data Integration Platform Cloud console. The alert icon at the top of the page displays the number of new notifications you have.

For more information, see What is a Notification?

You create policies to schedule jobs and to stay informed about your job activities. You can receive notifications for both desired and undesired situations. For example, you can be notified when a service stops, a conflict is detected, or a certain number of inserts are applied.

What is a Notification?

A Notification is an alert that you receive in Data Integration Platform Cloud when Notification Policy conditions are met.

To view your notifications, click the Notifications icon, displayed as a bell, accessible from any page in your Data Integration Platform Cloud console.

To learn more about creating Notification Policies, see Create a Notification Policy.

On the Notifications page, you can:

• Sort your notifications by Severity, Policy Metric, Policy Name, or Created Date.

• Get a glimpse of what policy metric was triggered through the Policy Metric column.

• From the Action menu of a notification, select Open Job Details to learn why you got the notification.

• After you’re done with a notification, mark it as Read or Delete it.

• From the Action menu, open the policy that caused the notification, then review or edit the policy for future notifications.

• Mark Read notifications as Unread to review them later.
