This would not allow to collect the main facts about the job with a quick glance, except the main status: error | success status. Many people asked us to allow using variables to compose the subject, so that they could have a preliminary view on the job outcome without the need to open the e-mail report. We have taken the chance to enable this feature in branch 1.6. Since 1.6.0.0 ©XSIBackup supports the use of the following pseudo variables in the --subject argument value in the job: %source%: source argument value as set in the job. %errnum%: number of detected errors. %hostname%: this variable is replaced by the configured hostname. It is the same value that appears in the header of the e-mail report. %jobid%: this is the session Id of the job being run.
--subject="%hostname% | %source% | %jobid% (%errnum%)"
The subject above composed with the available variables would produce an e-mail subject like the one below.
![]() You can combine all those variables in any way you want to produce subjects that can be read at a glance. |
