Hi,

I tried sending an excel file (.xls,.csv) as an attachment in a mail.There is an option called Attachments in notification activity of DataStage version 7.5.But I couldn't get that excel file thro' my mail.I am able to send .txt files as an attachment in notification activity.Can you clarify me?????


Thanks,

Try renaming your xls as txt and run the same. If it works then there is problem with xls else with the mechanism.

The file to be attached must reside in the DataStage server.

You can run a shell script containing the following:

(uuencode /WorkingDirectory/Source.csv Target.csv ) | mail -s "Email Subject" whoever@acme.com

Since DataStage works only when the excel file is a .CSV file.So I tried mailing an excel file(.CSV),it worked for me.So I'm able to send a .csv file as well as .txt file thro' notification activity.

E-mail attachments has nothing to do with DataStage processing that file. You can even e-mail any system files using the DataStage notification stage.

DataStage SendMail does not support attachements....You would need to revert to activating Unix MailX to accomplish what you desire

Actually, it does - in 7.5 - which the OP seems to have.
