Send a note copying several people

Post by gpbarsky »

Hi forumers.....

I am sending notes from within DataStage using DSSENDMAIL function.

I couldn't send a note copying to more than one users.

Does anybody know how can I do this ?

Thanks in advance, and everyone have a nice weekend.

DSSendMail supports only a single recipient.
3 ways I can think of to send mail to more then one recipient:

1. write yourself a routine that wraps DSsendmail, accepts a list of recipients and in a loop sends mail to each one of them.

2. Send the mail to a specific user and for this user create an MS outlook rule that forwards an incoming mail to a group.

3. replace the utility that sends the mail to another that supports more then one recipient (such a blat.exe the you can download for free from the web) and custom the send mail tamplate (you'll find it under your project directory)

Unfortunately, this is true. Fortunately, that's true for Windows only. :wink: For a UNIX server, simply delimit the email addresses with white-space. FYI.
