There are rare instances where an ETL+ component isn’t operating at all, and then that component won’t send notifications (for instance, a DataSelf Agent about some issues associated with ETL+ Jobs.
The current version notifies when a scheduled Job hasn’t started as expected. For instance, an ETL+ Job is scheduled to run an on-premises extraction at 1 am, but the server running the associated ETL+ Agent is turned off).
