I need to email a report that contains a date in the report name. Can I build the file name with script and use a variable in the attachments field on the send mail task. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
View 1 RepliesI have a DTS that creates multiple .zip files in a folder. Each zip file has a different name. My goal is to attache all the zips to a single email in a Send Mail Task. I have tried to do so with something like "C:Folder*.zip", but have had no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
hi
I am trying something very simple but cannot see why it is failing.
I am trying to add a filename to the message source of a mail task from a variable.
I have Variable 1 User::CurrentFilePath, Scope = ForEachLoop, Data Type = String
and Variable 2 User::mailSource, Scope = ForEachLoop, Data Type = String
Variable 2 EvaluateAsExpression is set to True and the Expression for now is simply "Processing of File " + [User::CurrentFilePath] + "has Begun"
However when i enter this i get
The expression for variable "Test2" failed evaluation. There was an error in the expression.
In the Value and Value type boxes of the variable property.
Any advice greatly received
Regards
Scott
I am sending multiple attachments with database mail for that i have created script to generate file names and send it to mail. Below are my script
DECLARE @MailFile VARCHAR(100)
SET @MailFile = 'Detail_Reimbursement_1_15_'
+ LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR, Getdate()), 3)
+ Substring(CONVERT(VARCHAR, Getdate(), 100), 8, 4)
+ '.csv'
[Code] ....
The script is working fine if i manually provided file path to @file_attachments. it is showing error i passes the variable @Loc3 to @file_attachments. Below is the error if i passes the variable to @file_attachments parameter.
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
Msg 22051, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
Attachment file 'E:DatabaseTannaFinanceReportDetail_Reimbursement_1_15_Aug2015.csv is invalid.
I have attempted to report out errors at the end of an ETL process by alerting supporting DBAs of errors using the SSIS "Send Mail Task". Task completes along with the sequenced packages, but does not mail anything out. No logic at this time for trigger, just success from the previous task triggering the task to send mail. I also get no errors in the output, and I get no output indicating the send mail task fired, but it does go "green". Do I have to enable database mail and have privileges?
Component Configuration:
SMTP Connection Manager - SMTP Server: arsocex02

Hello All,
Hopefully someone out there will have an idea as this is driving me nuts.
I want to send a dynamic files in attachment files ny send mail task that file name has change follow datetime.
I try to use the expression but I can't use it.
please tell me for this problem.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Thanks.
OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
Try
ds = CType(Dts.Variables("VP_EMAIL_RESULTS_RS").Value, DataSet)
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.
part number leadtime
x 5
y 9
....
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
thanks

Hi Everyone,
Hopefully someone out there will have an idea as this is driving me nuts.
I've setup a task to email on success/failure and keep receiving the following message when executed:
Progress: The SendMail task is initiated. - 0 percent complete
[Send Mail Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Failure sending mail.".
Progress: The SendMail task is completed. - 100 percent complete
Task Send Mail Task failed
When I configure Outlook Express on the same machine with the same settings it works.
On the SMTP Connection Manager I have left the default name, tested with both an IP address and Server Name, and no authentication or SSL.
On the Send Mail Task, it uses the above connection. The To: , From: , Subject fields are populated. Message SourceType is DirectInput, MessageSource is Test, Priority is Normal and no attachments or expressions etc.
Nothing useful is logged in the Event Viewer even with full logging turned on.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Thanks.
I keep getting a generic "Error Sending Mail" error. For testing purposes I am just trying to send using my own email account. What goes in the SMTP Server box in the connection manager? I have tried:
A - the exchange server address (SOMETHING.us.company.com)
B - The SMTP properties I see when I look at the properties of my email address: (my.name@abcd.efgh.company.com)
C - Just the end portion of the SMTP properties: (abcd.efgh.company.com)
D - My email address (my.name@company.com)
I don't know what to enter, or what is giving me such a generic error message.
I know you can specify additional recipients in the To column by sepperating them with a semicolon. But whats the easiest way to send to several users, when the email address must be retrieved from a table with a query like this:
select email from problem_subscribers
where project = 'project1'
and statusmail = 'OnError'
So when the eventhandler gets an OnError i want the mail task to be sent to each problemsubscriber.

I am able to use a variable filename in my send mail task as the message source when I specify variable as the message source type. But I would rather use the variable in the attachment e.g. @[User::filename].
When I do that, I get the message that the file doen't exist. How is it possible to specify a variable as the attachment?

We have jobs running successfully on one server. The jobs incluce a send mail step as one of the steps. We migrated the DB to a new server. I also migrated the jobs. Now the job is failing. We are getting error with the send mail task.
The error says the stored procedure 'master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail' could not be found. I am not sure what is the problem. Please advise.
Thanks

Hi,
I am using a Send Mail task to conclude the control flow at the load of each dimension.
My requirement is to put mail items like to,from,cc,subject etc. to be picked from a file.
The send mail task has an option of picking up the values from a file.But, I am not able to configure it properly it seems.
Can anyone suggest how to do it with a example.
Thanks in advance.

hello all,
I just created a very simple package in SQL 2005 using the Send Mail task - i made a connection manager & specified the Exchange server - and then ran the package and i got the below message: I am not sure what i did wrong since the message is pretty general. Anyone help would be very appreciated. Thanks
SSIS package "Test.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Send Mail Task, Send Mail Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Failure sending mail.".
Task failed: Send Mail Task
SSIS package "Test.dtsx" finished: Success.
I have a script task in which I check the size of a file.
If the size of a file is greater then 0 KB then I need to send this file as an attachment using send email task.
If size is equal to 0 KB then I don't want to send email at all.
In the script task, I have a flag(@sFileExists) which i set to true in case of size of file greater then 0 and false in other case.
I am using a precedance constraint (Expression : @sFileExists=true) and condition is logical AND.
After script task based on the condition (@sFileExists=true) I am using the send email task for sending the email.
But I am not receiving the email. Please sugest where I am wrong.
Please note that the send email task is working all-right separately.
Hello,
I have the following problem. I have a (Test-) package containing a task that deletes rows in a table. On Failure I implemented a Send Mail task that informs me about the output. Now the problem: If I run the package in BIDS on my client computer the mail is sent and I get it. The same is true if I run the package on BIDS on the Testserver where the package is stored. Also I get a mail when running the package as SQL Agent Job. But I never get a message when I simply execute the package from the Managament Studio. Then I get the error message: "The task Send Mail Task cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition. " This is the same whether the package is stored in msdb or in the Filesystem. Does anyone know why this is the case or how I can get rid of this error?
thanks in advance

Hi,
I tried to set up the send Mail Task and got the following message, however can't receive any message:
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Send Mail Task, Send Mail Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Failure sending mail.".

I setup a "Send Mail Task" task and an SMTP connection objection. I ran the package and got this error:
>>>

Error: 0xC002F304 at Send Mail Task, Send Mail Task: An error occurred with the following error
message: "Failure sending mail.".
Task failed: Send Mail Task

the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number
specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" finished: Failure.

Usually the SSIS error messages are too complicated for me to understand but this one doesn't say enough to be useful. Next, I purposely put in an invaid IP address (last octet = 3456 !) for the SMTP address, ran the package, and got the identical error message. I learned something.
What SSIS toolslogsstrategies can help me track down the problem?
TIA,

Hi everyone,
I wonder about this task.. which is the limit size for attachments? Is it depending of SMTP server?
Thanks in advance,
HI All,
There is an ssis package which has 3 sql tasks and one data flow task in the control flow.And as per the reuirement for each task failure on the control flow a mail has to be sent across as a notification. I have placed the send mail task for each and every task onerror eventhandler.
The problem comes when i run the task individually as execute task only one notification is sent but as i run the whole package, the send mail task sends one mail each for the sql task failures but for the data flow task it send across two mails instead of one mail. Why is this weared behaviour?? Are there any properties to be set for this?
Plz do let me know how this can be done.so that on data flow failure the send mail task sends only one notification on the package run instead of two.
Thanks,
Sheeba.
I have a DTS package in SQL Server 2000 that has a Send Mail task to shoot me an email when it completes. When I tested this manually it ran fine however when it runs as a scheduled job in the SQL Agent the Send Mail task fails.
Prior to being able to send emails I installed Outlook so I could build a MAPI profile. With the MAPI profile there I am able to create and at least manually test a Send Mail task. From experience I believe this issue arises due to the fact that when I'm logged in Outlook is running but when I'm logged out of the Server, it is not running and so the task fails.
