Hi everyone,

Background to this Article: ?

I recently got a question from customer, How to get a real time alerts when there is event of failure job noticed and quickly alert their Internal teams who are experienced to resolve failed pipeline job or work with SAP Technical Support team.?  Do you have any solution to address my team ?

In today's scenario, customer comes to identify the pipeline job failure after someone reports by logging into UI Pipeline workspace or the next day,  so the time and SLA is down..

Most of you will have to think in quick time in troubleshooting failed job when already time is crossed.. Situation will be like this


My Solution? to the above question is below & successfully implemented for customer request
