Unable to send Email

[major]

Hi all,

I created a new sequence and using an email notification activity to email 2 csv files which are generated in previous job , but i am getting the below errors.

Interesting thing is there are already some sequences which are using email stage and they are able to successfully send the email but not the one which is newly created by me.

Warning 1

VALIDATIONS..JobControl (DSSendMail): Error when executing command: C:\Ascential\DataStage\Projects\AUTOBOOKING\sendmail_VALIDATIONS84016_046_4244.bat
*** Output from command was: ***
SMTPMail Looking up server...
SMTPMail Unable to locate server!

Please check any paths in the following command file are correct, and if necessary adjust the 'dssendmail_template.txt' file in the project directory.

Contents of command file:
C:\Ascential\DataStage\Engine\bin\dssmtpmail.exe -file sendmail_VALIDATIONS84016_046_4244_file.tmp


Warining 2

VALIDATIONS..JobControl (@Notification_Activity_3): Routine DSSendMail did not finish OK, return code = '-21'

Warning 3

VALIDATIONS..JobControl (@Notification_Activity_3): Controller problem: Unhandled failure (-21) encountered calling routine DSSendMail

Please help me.

Thanks in advance

It's picked up the name of your SMTP server (a property of the Notification activity or DSSendMail function argument) but is unable to find an SMTP server of that name.

Which SMTP server do you have installed and where is it installed? Is this findable using your command search list (PATH environment variable)?

Make sure you've actually specified that property in the Email Notification stage and that you are using the same value as the other stages that do work for you.

Thanks guys for your insight into the problem

I have enclosed SMTP server name in single quotes
I removed the quotes and its working fine now.
