[CLOSED] Scheduling Alert: Automatically Reset
Attempting to set up an alert schedule that tests for conditions every 10 minutes and sends an alert the first time the conditions are met. Then only sends an alert email again when the conditions are fixed and are met again. Example, if inventory reaches under count 20, I get an email. I should not get another email until count reaches above 20 and then goes below 20 again. That's what I understand the Automatic Reset option is for, however, with that option I am still receiving the alert emails every 10 min. while conditions exist. Here's my example code for the conditions;


TABLE FILE FINAL2
PRINT
ITEMID
ITEMCODE
AVAILABILITY
ISSELLABLE2
ISSELLABLEWITHINVENTORYA2
ISSELLABLENOINVENTORYA2
INGOREINVENTORYA2
PHYSICALWAREHOUSEID
PHYSICALWAREHOUSENAME
LNINVENTORYDATE
LNINVENTORYCOUNT
AUTOORDERSTOCK
ITEMSTATUS
ITEMDESCRIPTION
WHERE ISSELLABLE2 EQ 'Y';
WHERE AVAILABILITY LT 20;
ON TABLE HOLD AS MASTER
END
-RUN

-IF &LINES EQ 0 GOTO ALERTEXIT;



TABLE FILE MASTER
PRINT
ITEMID
ITEMCODE
AVAILABILITY
ISSELLABLE2 AS 'AVAILABLE TO WEB'
ISSELLABLEWITHINVENTORYA2 AS 'ISSELLABLEWITHINVENTORY'
ISSELLABLENOINVENTORYA2 AS 'ISSELLABLENOINVENTORY'
INGOREINVENTORYA2 AS 'IGNOREINVENTORY'
PHYSICALWAREHOUSEID
PHYSICALWAREHOUSENAME
LNINVENTORYDATE
LNINVENTORYCOUNT
AUTOORDERSTOCK
ITEMSTATUS
ITEMDESCRIPTION AS 'STATUS DESCRIPTION'
WHERE ISSELLABLE2 EQ 'Y';
WHERE AVAILABILITY LT 20;
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *

$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-ALERTEXIT

Thanks

Not true. The reset is just to have the Alert schedule reset to run back again at specified interval.
If your Alert is schedule to run at every 10 minutes and if your inventory is still below 20, you will receive an alert email at each 10 minutes where it's below 20 but you won't if it's above 20

E.g.
Run Time   Inv count   Alert
1:00       40          No
1:10       20          No
1:20       17          Yes
1:30       17          Yes
1:40       21          No
1:50       10          Yes
