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?!
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.
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 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
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?
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.
part number leadtime
x 5
y 9
....
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Hi all, can i send an email through SQL? i don't want to use third party software. Also, i can't configure the customer's db server. It is possible to send an email without much configuration. If configuration needed, is it possible to configure through SQL script? thx

It seems that using the Send Mail Task, there is no option for me to format my email as HTML. I have all my HTML code in a string and need to format my email to send the string as an HTML email. What would be the best way to approach this?
I thought I could just copy over some asp.net code like: System.Web.Mail.MailMessage mailMessage = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage(); But VS2005 doesn't seem to want me touching System.Web.Mail. Any ideas? Thanks, Allen

Hi all I have heared that there is way to use SQL SMO (SQL Management Objects), or other third party tools running on a management server to send out an email or some kind of notifications if a database is locked.
Anyone knows how to do that in SQL Managment 2005. Thanks -Sarah
When a new record is inserted into the database. I want this to trigger an email that will be sent to all users who requested one when a new record was added. I can't figure the best way to set this up. All help gratefully received. Thanks JB

I’d like to update rows matching a certain criteria each night automatically and then send an email.
I have a table with a Status column and an Expire Date column. I want to update rows where the Status = Open and the Expire Date < The current Date by changing the Status to Closed then send an HTML email. Do I have to write a program and schedule it to run or is there a way to do this in MS SQL? I looked at using a stored procedure but I don’t see how to schedule one to run (other than at startup) and I’m not sure if the GETDATE function can be called.

I have a datetime field in a databse for when a tender closes. More often then not its 4pm - for what its worth. And I want to send an email informing the manager 6hrs, 30mins prior and when the tender closes. So I need to somehow check that field either once a day and store those times somewhere or quite regularly ... like every hour.
I would be interested to hear how people would approach such a concept. I havn't got a great deal of experience in triggers or SQL mail.
Hi guys,I hope somebody can help as I am trying to write a procedure in SQL that will be an email reminder sent to users on every 5 th or the month if they don't submit data before.
I am quite new to sql and procedures in particular so I was hoping somebody can help.
I need to: 1.Check the day of the month, if not 5th do nothing
2.Get the date of the prevoious month (get current date - 1 month,set day to 1)this is the funny bit. I have a field DateEntered,but users only select the month and the year on the acctual page,but when submitted it gets written as a full date and defaults to the 1st of the month.
3.Get the list of hospitals that haven't got data for the previous month
