Email notification

rafik2k · Post by **rafik2k** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 12:33 am

Hi,
Our DS server does not access email server in the network, i.e no client email software is installed in Ds server. What is the minimum requirement for DS server to send email using Notification Acitivity?

Please note groupwise mail is installed in some system in the network(don't know where it is)

what are the things/steps I need to do or set ?

If anyone of you have any idea, kindly let me know.

Thanks in advance.

You need a mail application installed on the DataStage server which needs to have a command line interface.

Can I use some other email server as proxy server for our DS server ?
That means If I install client version of mail application(in my case Novell Groupwise) on DS Server, will I be able to send email notification?

or Should I need to install server version of mail application on DS server?

DataStage jobs have no direct knowledge of the mail application, this is taken care of inside dssendmail.txt in your project directory.
If you have a non-standard mail command syntax you can change this file to accomodate this alternate mail program. You do need some mail client software to be installed and running on your DataStage server machine in order to send mails.

Thanks ArndW very much for sharing information, we will install client mail application on DS server and will test the same.

Download blat.exe from the Web; it's a good SMTP client.

Thanks a lot Ray!
I searched in google for blat.exe and found following site

Code: Select all

http://www.blat.net

Blat - A Win32 Command Line SMTP Mailer

Is that same site for downloading blat.exe?

First thing is that you are Rameshrr3, not Ray!
blah.exe is 100% free for you, you can install in your machine, in my machine I am running out of space

Yup, that's the one. Very nice email client. One of my clients used to use the UNIX version, lots of nice little features in it.

I just hope that you did not install blah.exe

Where did blah.exe come from? It's not in my original post (which has not been edited). Was it an attempt at humour? Perhaps you left out the funny part.

I think several of us have posted routines which use blat.exe. Might save you some time to search for those posts.
