Workflow Monitor Considerations
The Monitor cannot monitor itself.
If the Monitor fails, configure
failure email notifications in each session.
Do not check “fail parent
if this task fails” so the Monitor will still reschedule itself after failure.

There are many ways to perform the alert determination and distribution steps.
For example, you could add a single
command task after the determination step to check for populated alert files and then initiate a UNIX email
command to send the alerts. The solution demonstrated here uses Informatica in its purest form without the
need to maintain UNIX
scripting.
