BMC's Control/M & Control/R can detect batch failures and also sends email notifications. With Control-R, it is also possible to predefine the restart or recovery steps such as restore or restart at certain steps...once the problem has been addressed.
But I'm sure that there is a sizeable investment for the products as with most automation products. So not applicable if you are looking for freeware. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
