Determining name of failed target in a notification script.

Question

I have a job which is being run against many database targets. I have a notification script which is called when a job fails, however I cannot see any environment variable which informs me against which particular target the job fails. All I see in the environment variables are a list of all the jobs targets and their types. Is there a way to find out the names of the failed targets from sysman views/tables?

Hi
a UDM is a User Define Metric, that extent the posibilities of monitoring any type of activity in your targets.
Example
Imagine that you have a special table that records the errors in an application. If you create a UDM for count the rows in a day , you can determine warning and critical thresholds for controllin the quantity of erros.
Go to Grid Control Console --> Targets --> Databases
Select the database that you want monitoring this table
In the home page of target database go down and press the button User Define Metrics
Press Create in the UDM page and the creation page of UDM appear
In the sql query write
select count(*) from owner.t_errors
In the warning : 50 In the critical : 70
Establish the frecuency of recopilation and press create. You have a metric that monitoring the rows in this table.
The special situation of your enviroment, is that you have control of the status of a JOB and the target that this job fail.
Tell me that you want monitoring and i send you the sql query for build the metric. This UDM must be created in the repository target database.
