Wondering if it is by design that when I select messagesource to be variable it only shows user variables or if there is some setting I'm missing to expose the system variables?
This email task is on the eventhandler tab.
Thanks
I have a package that uses a complex expression for the MessageSource property in a Send Mail task. I receive the email that is composed based on the expression and it is formatted properly. However, the application also throws an exception complaining that the width of the expression may be too wide.
This is the error message (with the long expression represented by "...") from the exception:
Error Code: -2147192616
Error Description: The result string for expression " ... " may be truncated if it exceeds the maximum length of 4000 characters. The expression could have a result value that exceeds the maximum size of a DT_WSTR.
I tried wrapping the expression in SUBSTRING(expression, 1, 4000) to guarantee that the resolved expression could not cause an exception but that didn't help. Numbers lower than 4000 also do not solve the problem.
I have a pretty simple process that copies some files from an AS400 to a directory on the same server where my sql 2005 instance lives. I then use an email task to send these files to a client.
However, the email task does not work. I get the following message:
[Send Mail Task] Error: Either the file "BYNSOSR1;BYNSOSR2;BYNSOSR3;BYNSOSR4;BYNSOSR5;BYNSOSR6;BYNSOSR7" does not exist or you do not have permissions to access the file.
Well, the files definitely exist where they are supposed to be so I guess it's a permissions error. However, I have no clue which user would need permissions on that directory. As a test, I gave everyone read permissions and still got this error.
Any suggestions about which user I need to allow read access to the directory where these files exist?
I am generating the text file on run time using flat file destination. The text file is generated on the location C: SSIS or D:SSIS based on the location specified in the configuration file.
The text file contains the non matching rows during lookup transform task.
I want to send this dynamically generated text file using the send email task.
But while doing this, I receive an error during package validation:
Package validation error:
Error at send email task [ send email task ] : either the file C:SSISErroroutput.txt does not exists or you do not have permission to access the file.
Error at send email task ; There were error during task validation.
Please suggest as I need to generate the text file only in case of lookup failure.
I have just created and tested a package that uses the Send Email Task and it works fine in our dev environment - I guess this is expected as I am an admin on my machine and have rights on our mail server. But Im trying to document the considerations for rolling this out into a customer production setting.
Is anyone familiar with the security considerations or can point me in the direction of some documentation?
For example, presumably the SQL Server Agent Windows Account will need rights to contact the mail server? Will it need its "own" email account or can you just put any valid email addy in the from box? Presumably the account will need the right permissions to access the attachement file too?
Do these sound like relevant considerations to pass on to customer DBAs/system admins? Anything else Ive missed, am I worrying to much?!
How can I programmatically change the properties of Send Mail task using Script Task. I want to change the From, To and Attachment parameters of the Send Mail task.
If the Script Task can't do it, Is there any alternative to do?
I am trying to explore the email task in SSIS. I have a task which has only the email task. When I run its not throwing any error instead it says successfuly run but I am not recieving mail. I dont know how to trace this, could someone help me on this?
I have a SSIS package in which at the end i have a excel destination task which imports a table data in excel files and then send it as an attachment using email task but i am facing a issue which is mentioned below -
1. The SSIS package runs as a SQL server agent job once in a day now every time the job runs i need to creat a new excel ( or delete the older one create again ) import data in that excel using Excel destination and then send it as an attachment using email task , How can i dynamically change the excel destination to point to a template file or new file
2. WIth the email task i am able to send only one attachment , i tried seperating the file names using semi colon but it is giving error "You dont have permission to access the file or file does not exists"
SSIS : I have a "On Failure" precedence constraint that executes a Send Email Task for a Data Flow Task. Do you know how I might capture the error message from the Data Flow Task to include it in the Email (most likely as a variable)?
I am setting the 'To' field in the Send Email task using an expression in the expression textbox because the email address is received from a variable.But the taks throws error, as the 'To' field in the task is empty and only the expresssion field is filled. Is there any workaround ?
I currently have a simple cdosys email task that has been scheduled to send a simple email from ssis. The email is sent using an activex script in a "SQL 2000 DTS Package Task". When executed manually, the email is sent ok. When scheduled (and run under our SQL agent account), it fails. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is this a permissions issue?
'-- this script seems to cause problems, but only when scheduled -- dim mailer set mailer = CreateObject("CDO.Message") dim cdoconfig const cdoDispositionNotificationTo = "urn:schemas:mailheader:disposition-notification-to" const cdoReturnReceiptTo = "urn:schemas:mailheader:return-receipt-to" set cdoconfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
with mailer set .Configuration = cdoconfig .BodyPart.charset = "unicode-1-1-utf-8" .BodyPart.ContentTransferEncoding = "quoted-printable" .Fields("urn:schemas:httpmail:importance").Value = 2 .Fields.Update
.Subject = "Notification" .From = "donotreply@test.com" .TextBody = "TEST" .Bcc = "someone@test.com" .Send end with '-------------
Also, since I have several DTS packages that are similar, I'd like to keep these packages in the SQL 2000 dts format, instead of converting them into SSIS format and using database mail.
I have an Execute SQL Task that saves the results in a variable such as, RecCounts.
I have a Send Mail Task with a message source of: [User::RecCounts]
However, when I run the package I get this error.
Error: Failed to lock variable "[User::RecCounts]" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found.
This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.".
Hi All, I need to send out email when error occurs in the package. Is it a good practice to put the send email task in the event handler? Then MaximumErrorCount is set to 1. But for some reason, some time I saw more than one email are sent out. Please advise. Thanks
The Browser role has the task Manage Individual Subscriptions. Fine, the user can create a subscription. The problem is that the reportserver populate the email address text box with the Windows User ID and does not let the user change this to put his email address instead. The text box is greyed out.
I found that to enable the text box I have to add the task Manage all subscriptions to the role "Browser".
This is a major security problem because with this setting any user can edit any subscription.
I suspect that I could work at the Active Directory level to populate a field that would in turn populate the email address with the correct data., however this is not an option for me. I have absolutely no way to do it or get it done. Does anybody has an idea on how I could allow a user to edit his email address in his subscriptions and not let him tamper with other users subscriptions?
I am implementing a fax solution (Right Fax) and pulling email information from a table and passing into a variable. In order to send out a fax via email, the syntax is in the following example below:
Example:
To send a fax from Outlook to Jane Doe at 555-1212, enter:
[RFAX:Jane Doe@/FN=555-1212]
When the following syntax gets passed into the Send Mail Task, into the "To" line and the package is executed I'm receiving the following.
[Send Mail Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.".
[Send Mail Task] Warning: The address in the "To" line is malformed. It is either missing the "@" symbol or is not valid.
I realize it’s a malformed email address. Is it possible to create a group and instead of the fax syntax pass the group name?
I'm trying to put together an SSIS package that will look in one directory for 2 distinctly named .csv files. The files will then be loaded into 2 tables.
The first task I execute is a SQL Task that checks to see if the tables I'm loading the data into are empty. If the tables have data, the package stops executing. If they are empty, the package continues to execute.
What is the best way to send an email out from SSIS if the package stops on the first step?
Exec Prcoess task with source : ftp destination :ftpunzip work directory ftpunzip executable : c:Program FilesWinZip
i am using expressing.
It is doing the unzip but getting this error

I have a report that gets sends out through a subscription and sometimes the report has multiple pages and all those pages appear within one email.Is it possible to set the subscription in such a way that an email is sent per page when the subscription executes.
Under IIS SMTP I can set bounced email redirect etc. how to do that with dbmail, the idea is I can get the list of bounced emails somewhere so I can create a report.
what I want to achieve is to load a text file that has email addreses from disk and using the email addresses in the text file look it up against the email addresses in the database table then once matched delete all the users in the table whose email address were in the text file.
I also want to update some users using a different text file.
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.
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.

Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
I'm using SSIS in Visual Studio 2012. My Execute SQL Task calls a Stored Procedure where I have a TRY-CATCH. Last week there was a problem and the CATCH was executed and logged an error to my error table, but for some reason the Execute SQL Task didn't fail. Is there a setting to make the Execute SQL Task fail when an SP encounters a failure?
I am trying to create a simple BI Application for SSIS. In Visual Studio 2005 I just get a Data Flow Task from the toolbar and add it to the project. When I double click it I get the following error:
The task with the name "Data Flow Task" and the creation name "DTS.Pipeline.1" is not registered for use on this computer.
Then when I try to delete it it gives this other error:
Cannot remove the specified item because it was not found in the specified Collection.
I am creating this application in an administrator account in this computer, so I doubt the problem is related to permissions. I am running SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 in WinXP Tablet PC Edition.
Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it?
I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
