Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for notifying designated individuals of the success, failure or other status of a data transfer process. The system includes a central management computer for controlling the data transfer process and distributed agents for carrying out the process. As the data transfer process continues, the status, including success or failures of individual steps, is communicated to the central management computer in encoded messages within a control protocol. The central management computer retains logs of the status. Upon completion or termination of the data transfer process, the logs or other information regarding status of the process are provided to designed persons by the central management computer.
