Duplicate "Insert a tape to continue" warning

Post by TommyB »

Hi,

after V8 / patch 1 I finally get the email notification whenever I need to insert a new tape... that's a great improvement and enables me to offload tape handling to a colleague if necessary :D

But I always get two email with a few seconds delay between each.

No big deal, but is there any way to switch that off?

thanks
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
It may be caused by notification rules duplication, for instance if you set different global and job-specific recipients where global destination is a member of a group of job-specific destination.
Could you specify your notification options? Do you use only global email notifications or you defined per-job notifications as well?
And there is also a probability of a bug.
Thanks.

Hi Nikita,

I have the same global and job specific recipient settings - both go to my email address.

I now changed the job setting to "use global settings" and will see what happens next :-)

Thanks, Thomas.
By design if you have exactly same destination values in global and job-specific setting, you should get only one notification. Will see what is going to happen in a case of global settings only.
Please keep us updated.

Hi,

this did not change anything, still getting two notifications.

I will now uncheck "send the email notification to the following recipients" and see what happens next :-)

Hi Thomas and thanks for updating.
It looks like an unexpected behavior, so I asked our QA team to double-check the issue to make sure if it`s a bug.
I`ll let you know the result once the testing is done.
