Since this is a LSF feature, may be you can refer IBM documents?

This IBM technote describes how to create an alarm.

Create an Alarm:
1. Change directory to PPM Alarm directory
>cd /<JS_TOP>/work/alarms

2. Create an alarm script
>cat example.alarm
DESCRIPTION=Description of alarm
NOTIFICATION=Email[user1@company.com,user2@company.com]
#NOTIFICATION=CMD[/file_path/script_file #{user_variable}]

3. Reconfigure Alarm
>jreconfigalarm

Thanks , it worked but  have 3 issues

1. Sometimes alarms will disappear from the drop down menu.

2.we can't edit/modify the alarm once saved /applied.

3. It will show at job level not at flow level .it should show the alarms at flow level and job level

do I need to do anything once after  reconfigure alarm to get it work.

3. Reconfigure Alarm
>jreconfigalarm

below screen shot showing none but we have alarms configured.refresh doesn't work.new session works sometimes.

After you make modifications to an existing alarm file or add a new one you would run jreconfigalarm to read in those changes.

In my testing I added an alarm and ran jreconfigalarm and after clicking "Refresh" was able to see this in the Alarm type drop-down list. If this is not happening for you, ensure you have the latest hot fixes installed. You may also wish to raise a technical support track.

In the properties for the flow under the "Job Attributes" tab you can find the Exception Handler section. This is also available in the advanced properties for the individual jobs.
