the DSSendMail has the following options:
from
to
server
subject
body
i want to send an error file as an attachment. the dssendmail_template.txt does not contain the Attch option. the file looks like
#! /usr/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t <<////
From: %from%
To: %to%
Subject: %subject%
%body%
////
so when i try to add Attach: option to DSSendMail it gives an error
"The following parameters in the call to DSSendMail were not mentioned in the file 'dssendmail_template.txt': attach "

how do i send an attachment?

Thanks in advance.

The only way I've found sofar is to launch a UNIX script and do it yourself, using mule e.g. or using a combination of uuencode/mailx

Hi Roshni,

You can attach the files in the Notification Activity Stage in the Job Sequencer.

...if you have DS 7.5 or above.

Oops, I forgot to mention that. Thanks Sai for adding it.

Here is a shell script I use.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/ksh
##
# Email.ksh jobname file1 file2 subject
# Written by: Kim Duke
# To use in DataStage:
# SH Scripts/Email.ksh GenReport KimD/Sql2Html/RtLog1.html Test Log
##
if [ $# -lt 3 ]
then
   echo "Usage: $0 kim|all jobname file1 file2 subject"
   exit 2
fi
case $1 in
   kim2)
      USERS="Kim_G_Duke@hotmail.com"
      ;;
   *)
      USERS=`echo "$1" | tr ";" " "`
      ;;
esac
shift
JOBNAME=$1
shift
FILENAME=$1
TMPFILE=/tmp/Email_$$.dat
echo "
$USERS

$JOBNAME has built these html reports.

Thanks.
