This article shows you the possibilities that "Business Jobs - Notifier" can offer.
The difference between "Business Job" and "Events" is that events are based on an action in the Gantt, such as a Movement. Business Jobs looks at the conditions in a filter, and when the condition is met, Sleipner generates a message. The message can be sent as an Email or a Text File.
In this example below, it shows you how to build a job that sends a message for flights with departure 1-2 hours from now.
1. Open the Automation Factory / Business Jobs
2. Click on NEW button.
3. Enter the Name of the job. This is a mandatory field.
4. Enter the Job Type.
- In this example, we use Notifier.
- Note: The Notifier Job type can be used for "Company Activities" and Documents (see Document warnings).
5. Enter the DataType.
- We want to check the Departure time that is a Company Activity.

6. Define the Filter Type.
- The Leg Filter is where we control what should trigger the message. You have the option to use all the fields in Company Activity. You can either use EXPRESSION or FREE TEXT.
- In this example, we use FREE TEXT because we want to compare against the actual time.
- Our example checks for departures between 1-2 hours from now.
- When you use FREE TEXT, a help dialog appears with the available fields.
6. Select the User. It must be Sleipner.
7. COM:
The Notifier messages can be sent as Email or Text file.
Text files can be used to send SITA messages. But in that case, you need to build the full SITA formatted message in the integration factory.
8. Create the message and header in the Integration Factory Messages Templates.
When in Text mode, you can edit the display format of the date.
9. Addresses: This field is mandatory even when creating text messages.
10. You can select a static period or specify a Period template.
- When using the current day, you must add one day after.
- Sleipner will only send the message one time per day. If the period is more than one day and the filter condition is met, the message will be sent every day.
11. Define the length of the cycle in seconds.
- In this example, Sleipner checks for composition changes every 30 seconds.
- Note: You can have a larger cycle in the COM.
- Remember to click Active checbox.
