All our SQL 7 and 2000 servers here run SQLMail for alerting and notifications (via jobs and DTS packages) and we are increasingly having the issue where MAPI32 goes to 100% CPU utilisation and the server needs rebooting.
We are getting the response from Microsoft that "this happens" - hmmm
Anyone else having this problem come up with a solution or workaround at all?
Regards
Jason
I have been looking over the forums looking for answers to the question that nails us all: how do you dynamically resize column widths? MS says: you don't. However, I have heard many people say they have found ways around it. I wonder if anyone might share those with me (and everyone else). Share the wisdom you have gained with those less experienced!

Hi Ronnie
Sorry I was late in getting back to you as I was out of the office in the last couple of days
I made some checks and it seems the problem that you have is a genuine one.
The workarounds that you specified are the only solutions available now.
I checked with the development team and even though they are aware of the problem, they told me that there won€™t be changes to fix it in SQL 2008
So you have to decide on one of the workarounds that you specified
Best Regards,
Hi Tamer,
I wonder if you had any updates on our issue with RS2005.
Thanks,
Thanks for your help on this issue, I am going to more research on your solution (moving the footer to the body).
Meanwhile, I be looking forward for your sample as well.
Thanks again for all your efforts.

Hi neil
I think there is a way to implement your need in Reporting Services
Reporting Services has a free form designer which means that whatever you put on the report will appear in the same order in the final view. This is why we don€™t have a report footer.
Instead of putting the stub in the footer, just put it after the last item.
You can use a list dataregion to make sure that the stub will always appear at the bottom of the page in the expected location
Ronnie, I hope that solves your problem
Contact me directly if you need more info on how to implement this
Best Regards,
Tamer Farag
Here are all the facts I learned about Reporting Services "Report Footer" limitations and workaround I have tried.
Objective: On the last page of an invoice at the bottom of the last page have a stub of the invoice:
Issue: Reporting Services does not support Report Footer only Page Footer. (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1439673&SiteID=1)
Work around that I have tried:
Work around 1:
I have created a page footer with a rectangle and set the Visibility expression to =Globals.PageNumber < Globals.TotalPages
Results: The page footer did show up only in the last page, but created a block of space in the first pages.
I was trying to see if there is a way to suppress the spaces from the first pages, and found out it's not supported in Reporting Services
This behavior where the report body would consume the space of the empty page header & footer is currently not supported.
-- Robert (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=340650&SiteID=1)
Work around 2:
I tried to fit all the footer objects in the rectangle in a very small height range, hoping it will auto grow at run time. That did not work as well.
The textboxes did auto grow, but the Rectangle object or the Page Footer itself does not auto grow, cause to cut the footer information.
Work around 3:
Set the property on the page footer PrintOnFirstPage to False, and PrintOnLastPage = True, Reporting services does print the footer in pages in between.
works great for reports that have only 2 pages, but not not more then 2 pages
Best workaround:
Instead of having a space block at the bottom of each page, have a marketing text on every page except the last page
I had overlap a textbox on top of the rectangle (in the page footer) and having this expression on the Visibility =Globals.PageNumber = Globals.TotalPages.
For most of the invoices which are one page, that text will not show up and the Invoice stub will show up
For Invoices which are two pages or more, the marketing text will show up in the first pages only and in the last page the Invoice stub will show.
note: this workaround cause a warning saying "Overlapping report items are not supported in all renderers."
but it is supported for PDF.
Having a difficult time setting up a development environment and a set of standards for SSIS package development.
First of all, you can't run the dataflow object "SQL Server Destination" in BIDS because BULKCOPY can only be run from the actual server. So how do you test/debug a package with this object in it?
Second of all, if you create an SSIS package on a developer computer in BIDS, and then import it into the SSIS package store on your development SQL server, you can't run the package from Management Studio on the developer PC. You get the error "DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW" when it tries to run any of the SSIS. Do I have to have SSIS installed on the developer client machine? How do I do that without installing a full server instance on each client machine (not to mention the licsense issues)?
Lastly, what protection level would you suggest using for production? We are having issues with ODBC connection passwords being decrypted and thus package steps failing in using "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey". What exactly does this protection level do? Our network is physically very locked down, so we arent worried about SSIS package security too much, just looking for a way for them to work reliably without having to setup complicated security scenarios.
thanks for your time.
1) if our .net app (oltp) is changed to ask sql for encryption (rather than thru .net) on server A, can server B where our wh resides, thru a linked server run an sp remotely on A and get A to provide decryption thru the keys defined there?
2)can the encryption keys etc defined on one server be imported to another server and still behave exactly the same way on the 2nd server as they do on the first? ie decrypt data originally encrypted by the first successfully.
I've seen a couple of posts in this forum on this subject. If anyone knows of a workaround it would be great to hear.
The problem is this. I'm writing a component that looks a bit like an OLE DB destination: it writes to something that looks like a table. During design time I want the component to update the list of available destination columns if they change - so I want Validate to return VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA if it detects a change. However during runtime I only want to validate that the component will run ok. So I still want to check what the destination looks like but if, say, someone has just added a column then my determination is it is ok to procede with the execution.
ValidateExternalMetadata doesn't help in this case because I still want to validate against the destination. I just don't want to raise VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA during runtime because it aborts execution and I can determine that although there is a change to the destination it is not one that will cause the component to fail.
Any thoughts and experience on this would be great to hear!

Can someone verify that an assembly containing an interface with an event definition, such as...
public interface A {
event EventHandler Foo;
}
... can never be loaded under SAFE or EXTERNAL_ACCESS ?
It appears that the compiler-generated add_xxx and remove_xxx have the MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.Synchronized) attribute defined by default, and "Explicit synchronization is not allowed". The same limitation also applies to classes by default, although technically one is able to define the implementation directly (clearly not ideal).
Is there a way to change the FROM in sqlmail (recipient) from the mailbox account to read a user-defined from. Currently our FROM has the SQL mail account name that was created during the sqlmail setup and we would like to put a user defined name in this variable.

I have the following error when trying to test EMail from SQL.
I have logged onto the server and sent EMail using the SQLServer Service Account and the Profile is correct. This tells me that Outlook is working OK and the Exchange Server is sending OK. However, lookin on TechNet Q274330
mentions the error number but it's description is about Emailing an open file. I am not Emailing an open file.
Here's the error message.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently set up a SQL 7.0 cluster (active/passive) on a pair of Win2K boxes. I noticed that the SQLServerAgent would refuse to send system alerts to my e-mail account, yet net sent messages worked fine. I know I've set everything up properly, so I paid the $245 to speak with Microsoft.
The answer was found; their response follows:
{redacted}
CAUSE:
============
On a cluster an undocumented stored procedure is called by the Operator to send email and this causes it to fail. SQL Mail is not supported on SQL 7.0 clusters and any features depending on it will also fail.
RESOLUTION:
============
SQL 2000 does support SQL Mail on clusters with MS Office 2000 and up.
In SQL 2000 Books Online do a search for the following topics and include the quotes:
“Using SQL Server Tools with Failover Clustering”
Also you can workaround the problem by using a job that uses xp_sendmail to send the alert instead.
{END}
Now is that lame or what? Of all the functions you would expect to work in a failover cluster, you would think that e-mailing the operator in the event of a failure would be high on the list. Apparently, not so. Their official answer was to upgrade to SQL2000. Anybody care to guess the price on doing a dual CPU dual box cluster upgrade?
Now my question is this: The tech person was right, xp_sendmail does work fine. What I have wanting to do, and have been unable to do, is to write a TRIGGER that would fire whenever an error is logged by the SQL server. I have looked around, but could find no documentation on what table it is that receives error logs.
Does anybody know which table receives error messages? I'm wanting to write a trigger that exec's xp_sendmail so I get error alerts.
Does anyone know the 'trick' in getting sqlmail (sqlserver 7.0) to work with Outlook 2000 on a windows 2000 server machine. I've setup a mail profile on Outlook, but it is not listed in the dropdown menu in the sqlmail properties.
Outlook communicates with my smtp/pop3 mail server - no problem. I can't get sqlmail to interface with outlook. Basically it is telling me that it cannot find ANY profiles on the server.
I created a new MAPI profile on the server, and it seems to work fine with Outlook. I also dropped the previous default MAPI profile.
Now, when I go to the EM SQLAgent Properties, the only MAP profile offered in the SQLMail drop-down is the old, deleted profile. Also, only the old profile comes up with xp_get_MAPI_profiles.
How can I get SQLAgent to recognize that I've set up a new mail profile?
I need to set up SQLMail togheter with Notes, We have SMTP server and profiles but I can´t get it to work. SQL sends the mail but it disappears into the cyberspace.. Someone help me pls...

Hi,
I need help!
SQlmail service starts (SQL server 6.5, Exchange Server 5.5
and Outlook 2000). A mail profile is created which starts the

However, When I tried to send a mail by xp_sendmail, it gave me

Thank you!
I have a problem trying to send email using SQLMail. When I setup a new job under SQL Server Agent I can receive mail okay when a job completes, but when I try to receive mail from a Database Maintenance Plan the following error is reported:
Emailing report to operator 'DBA Group'
[Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 17903: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]MAPI login failure.
I cannot figure out the problem as mail is getting through using the profile I setup and also when I use outlook and also from SQL Server Agent jobs.
Any ideas!!!!
I am having difficulty trying to get SQLMail to work via Notes4.6.1 as the mail system. Firstly the Notes client is working correctly on my machine but SQLMail will simply not start with the SQL-DMO error 17952, and on trying to configure it I type in my profile name(which has been successfully setup previously through the Ctrl Panel Mail and Fax icon with the Lotus Notes Mail information service selected ) and get the error 21002 RegCreateKeyEx - #5 access is denied - which seems to be something to do with permissions but the SQLServer service is logging in a member of Local Admins group.
Has anyone had this before - there seems to be a painful lack of information about this area generally.

I am currently working on the SQLMail in SQL Server ver. 6.5 and don`t know
how to start. SQL Server is already installed in the NT Server and some
applications are using this. The problem is how to send mail and receive mail from a Lotus Notes ver. 4.5, not a MS Exchange Mail. Can anybody provide me step-by-step approach to do this? The NT server dont MS exchange installed in it.
thnks.
Does anyone know if there is a way SQLMail can always send a message using a fixed font like Courrier? I use SQLMail to send out an invoice and even though I format the spacing, the email looks unformatted on some systems.
I am using Exchange 5.5, SQL server 6.5 sp4 and the recipients of the emails could have any email client.
thanks,

Is it possible to actually insert a file into the email sent via sqlmail/
I ask cos when I try to send the results of a query via SQLMail, the formatting is shot.
I want to automate a job to actually run a query, capture data to a file
and then email the results to my users. I can get to the stage where the file is available, but then I'm stumped.
Any Ideas please.
SQL mail is configured and working (SQL6.5 sp3). I configured scheduled tasks to notify me of completion status, which it does.
I'm just wondering why the header time is off by 5 hours.(time SQLServer Service sent the message)
The SQL server time and time zone are correct, and so are the time and zone on my workstation.
I tested sending a message from a user on the same Exchange Server as the SQL Server user to the user that recvs the scheduled task mail, and the time is correct in that message header.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
