I am dealing with long and demanding analyses, which needs often lots of data and time ( between few hours to couple of days) and it can happen a full stop/break on my workstations caused by diverse failures (data bugs, overflow, unexpected etc)

Is it possible to develop a "Process Notification" service, which can send an e-mail from ArcCatalog to a chosen recipient about the actual status , i.e. Reporting the status in a brief form : [1] Finished [2] Break or Failure [3] Estimated time left to be finished.

Our solution is not covering entirely the problem above .

    Is your tool running inside ArcCatalog, or have you started a script or something external from ArcCatalog?

  • This is just a simple external (generic) solution. We thought it can be useful for monitoring and notification purposes in any similar cases.

    As mentioned in this answer you could use a Python SMTPHandler to send emails based on log messages as necessary as the script executes.

  • Here is some code. Your IT department may prohibit you from connecting to the SMTP server.pythongisandstuff.wordpress.com/2011/09/06/…

Making ArcGIS for Desktop play sound on speaker when model completes?

Also includes instructions for emailing you on completion. I've used it, and it works...although it only fires on completion.
