Avoiding sending emails from a Datastage Server/Project

[nkln@you]

We have Sequencers and subsequencers where there are many email notifications and mails send through DS routines.

Our objective is, when we take take the same sequencers and subsequencers from Production to development, we dont want emails sent (as emails would be sent to Business and Management People in Production) when the Sequencers are run in Dev

1. Is there any simple way of stopping mails to be sent from a particular Datastage Server

2.Is there any simple way of stopping mails to be sent from a particular Project of a Development Datastage Server.

No to both. I've found the best answer is to always parameterize things like that and make sure that - outside of production - all of the emails come to the developer(s). Or the QA folks.

If you don't mind warnings you could provide the name of a non-existent SMTP server. If you don't want warnings create a recipient that has a rule to delete without reading any messages from the sender, and send to that recipient.
