18:44:03: Notification_Activity_1 finished, reply=0
18:44:03: Sequence finished OK

But the end result is no email is being sent.

These settings works OK for windows Outlook

Can any one help us in this regard.

Hi,
The notification activity has no success indicator.
Like you've seen you can't expect rejected mail notifications either.
In short your safest bet would be implementing a ussage of the organization's notification mechanism or anything similar.

IHTH,

Hi Roy,
Can you please explain me little more how to send email notification successfuly. I have tried but couldn't find the solution.
In error messege it shows that email address and smtp name is incorrect
Why this occur as every thing is correct.

Doesn't matter. Your UNIX server is doing the mail sending here, not Windows nor Outlook.

I'd suggest you talk to your SAs. Let them know what you are doing and what errors you are getting. Getting email to send out successfully from that AIX box falls into their domain.

Hi,
Ask your sysadmins to configure your send-mail on the ds server box to be anabled and working, once you have it working so will your mail notification activities and ussage of the DSSendMail routine will work as well.
Plus you can leave the smtp entry empty.

IHTH,

Thanks a lot for handy sugestions.
