We haveDataStage 8.5 on AIX 6.1
We have notification activity set up for a couple of critical ETL
The sequence gets executed successfully, but we receive no mails
I did a quick search on this forum and found that most of the time it is issue with the AIX, but in my case i found that I can send mails from OS by using command

sendmail -f sender -v recepient
Body of email
^D

However notification does not work properly
I have checked that dssendmail.txt is present in the Projects folder and the notification activity is picking the same file

Any suggestions?

remember that the search rules for $PATH and other environment variables is different when called from a DataStage background process than when called from your user.
1. Explicitly use the full path to your sendmail executable.
2. If (1) doesn't work, add some debugging and echo commands to the script to localize the problem.

I'd also be curious what settings you are using in the stage.
