DSXchange

Hi All,

I have two Problems :

1) I want to send an email Notification to two e- mail Ids through Email Notification Activity ina sequencer. I tried it using a comma, semi-colon, single space as a seperator between two mails but it didn't worked.
Please let me know if it is possible in 6.0 , if not is there any alternative.

2) I executed a sequencer through a Unix script. The sequencer executed and also executed the sub - jobs in which one of the sub-jobs failed but when I checked its log in DataSTage Director it showed no entries(0 entries filled). Similar thing happened with the other successfully executed Jobs no logs present. Why couldnt I see the Logs??

Please Help.
Thanks in advance.

The above problem I mentioned are in Unix and not in windows.

1. 6.x was too long ago to recall if it supported it or not. You can always use a contact group email, and that's a better idea anyway.

2. Filtered?

1) Is it posssible in sequencer? I have no idea about it. it would be better if u throw some light on it.

2)yes ...its been filtered to view logs of last ran only.........even if i removed it there were no logs seen.

1. Try it, let us know. I can't say for 6.x but it works fine in the 7.x releases.

2. Did the job actually run? Or did the Sequence abort because the job wasn't runnable? Silly question, but are you sure you are looking at the right job?

1) Try using the Group as it works on 7.1 and earlier , you cannot send multiple e mails from 7.1 and earlier versions.
2) Some time if the jobs status files are scattered, the logs are not displayed in the Director. Try indexing through the ds commands for the project and run your job again.

Hi.
I'm sorry but I didnt understand what is meant by the 'Group' with respect to the Email Notification Activity.
Can some one please explain what this means.
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you are used to another name for it, but it simply means a 'virtual' address that is a collection of addresses - a group of people who can be notified using a single email address. That way it doesn't take a job change or any ETL involvement to change who gets notified.

Outlook calls it a 'Distribution List', for example.

Hi All,

I can see the logs now....But i have done nothing to solve this issue.....the Only thing I have done is changed the filter from "Last Run" to "2 days earlier". And as far as e-mail notification is concerned I am now sending a mail to only a single ID.

Thanks

Of course you have done something:

A filter problem all along. One way to tell is to look in your 'status' line, the bottom of the Director pane where it lists 'Log for job: JobName'. It will show the number of entries displayed and if a filter is on:

58 Entries
14 Entries (Filtered)

I really don't use the 'From' or 'Through' filters, just 'Limit' mine to the last X at times when the volume is high. Most of the time I have no filter in effect.

Please mark your post as Resolved now.

Thanks Craig....
