I have a DTS package that runs 4x a day and generates an excel spreadsheet, renames that spreadsheet with a datetime stamp and then places it into a folder on our network. I have been asked to email that spreadsheet to someone everytime the package runs.
My question is what would be the best way to handle this and how do I ensure that whatever process I define grabs the correct file? The folder that the Excel file is being placed into has multiple files in it. Is there a way to tell SQL Server which file to grab and email?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I would like to set up a job to send mail out to clients on a semi-regular basis. Is there a way to mail directly from MS SQL.
or some application which I can set to interface with MS SQL and send these mails out.
I'm currently using asp.net, however, doing it through the web is very time consuming, I would much rather use some application to generate the mails on the server as it currently takes close to 20 min to send through the web interface (and that's only to 900 members, we are looking at having at least 2000 members in a few weeks). What am I looking for is something I can call perhaps with transact sql so I can run it through an ms sql server job, however any solution you have would be fantastic.
If you don't have specific details, that's fine, I'm not even sure what apps etc to look into, even a name of some technology to use (or does MS SQL have a way of doing all of this itself?)
I am running SQL Server Enterprise Manager and i would like to have a query run everynite and send the results returned by the query off to an email address....
Hi everyone I have a database that I am creating for another department. He emails applications to potential vendors. And I was wanting sql to do this for him. I was reading about xtended procedures XP_Sendmail, but this is the first time I have created an extended stored procedure. I need for it to email an attachment (the report)
I'm sort of new to SSIS so I apologize if this is a trivial question:
I setup a package and want it to email me if there is any errors. Right now I got it working to send me a pre-written message about the failure, but I want to load the full task failure message into variable and email it on the email body.
But so far I have not found a way to save the error messages into variables so I can email them. Anyone can help with that one?
I need to export a view into excel and mail to my manager daily morning. Is there a way i can automate this process. I know how to convert view to excel but i need a better solution to automate this process with emailing to my mgr. Please suggest a better approach of doing this.
Whenever a certain stored procedure executes I need to email both admin and clients (different messages). I have created an error within the SP and can RAISE the error and thus notify admin staff but how can i email the client also ? I can obtain the cient email address from thye system but how can i email them ? Can i use xp_sendmail within a stored procedure ? If so, how as i can't seem to get it working ?
Hi there! Is there a way, I can setup create a script that I can schedule, which runs through my user databases and if e.g.: 1:) there is less than 20% free space it emails me. and/or 2:) there is less than 200MB free space it emails me.
I am trying to use €œSQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio€? (what is the short name for this) to complete a check and then possibly email me depending on what happens.
The check is around two tables that I have. There is a chance that they will become out of sync with each other and so I want to know when a field (ACCOUNTID) has a value that is in one table and not the other. I can do the check but I would like the package to email me when there is a problem (and if possible email me the details) and do nothing when everything is OK.
Can anybody give me some hints to point me in the correct direction as I just seem to be chasing my tail at the moment,
I have many short messages in a table. I need to tigh them together in one long email message and email to the users. But xp_sendmail is limited to 7,790. How could I send longer messages? Or how could I devide the long message and send it in parts (i.e. separate consequtive emails)?
This doesn't work, it still cuts the messages off at around 7,790: E. Send messages longer than 7,990 characters
This example shows how to send a message longer than 7,990 characters. Because message is limited to the length of a varchar (less row overhead, as are all stored procedure parameters), this example writes the long message into a global temporary table consisting of a single text column. The contents of this temporary table are then sent in mail using the @query parameter. CREATE TABLE ##texttab (c1 text) INSERT ##texttab values ('Put your long message here.') DECLARE @cmd varchar(56) SET @cmd = 'SELECT c1 FROM ##texttab' EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail 'robertk', @query = @cmd, @no_header= 'TRUE' DROP TABLE ##texttab
I need to create a new excel file daily and then need to mail it. The problem iam facing is that ,when i schedule a job the task that dumps data into excel(Dataflow task ) gives a validation error.Everytime i need to manually link the sheets of the excel to the corresponding tables. Any idea why this is happening?So iam unable to schedule as a job...
I'm hoping someone here will be able to guide me in the right direction. I am trying to figure out a way of looping through table columns or a flat file in which there will be three parameters every time. With these parameters I am then wanting to run a report using two of these parameters to feed into the report and then email this out to an email address which would be my third parameter. Does anyone here have any idea how I would go about doing this?
I am trying to create an alert when there are more than 2500 connections to our ailing SQL Server.However, for now, I need to restart the SQL server service because users begin complaining they can't connect.
1) I created an operator - me.
2) I created a job which runs a query.
INSERT INTO Sessions_alert SELECT host_name, program_name, login_name, count(c.session_id ) num_sessions, getdate() FROM sys.dm_exec_connections c JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions s on c.session_id = s.session_id GROUP BY host_name,program_name,login_name ORDER BY 4 DESC
3) I created an alert - included the job from above. Type performance condition alert. Object - SQL Server General Statistics. Counter - User connections.Alert if counter rises above 50. Just testing. I really want to know when it gets past 2500.
4) I've set the alert to email and delay is between responses 2 minutes.
It history tables says number of occurences is 18964. However, I don't receive an email.
Shouldn't the alert send an email? Do I need to include email code in the job?
I want to send a deployed report (report manager), through email, by calling reportingServices webservice. But the requirement is that, time is not fixed for sending this email, so I want to trigger the sending of report as a one time event, no subscription to a daily time...

We have a DTS package in the old SS2000 that we are still using in SS2005. We change the old xp_sendmail to use the new sp_send_dbmail. This runs fine without attachment. But with attachment, I'm encountering an error when running the package.
The task reported failure on execution. The client connection security context could not be impersonated. Attaching file requires an integrated client login. Syntax error or access violation.
I cannot find much topic on the net about this error.

Please let me know, how can i see Attachment in my mail.
I am encountering the same problem above and I did exacly as described . But it is not working.
I must send emails every month with dynamically named files as attachments. The files are named according to the date on which they are generated. For example on the first of November 2007, the file will be named myfile_1_11_2007.
I have created a variable called DynamicFileName with package scope, data type string and default value: d:\tests\
In "Send Mail Task Editor" Dialog Box, I have specified the following:
smtpConnection: smtptest.server.com From :nemo@smtptest.server.com To: nemo@smtptest.server.com Subject: Dynamic File Email MessageSourceType: Variable MessageSource: blank Priority: blank Attachments: blank
When I execute the package, I get the following errors: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error at Send Mail Task [Send Mail Task]: Either the file "d:\tests\myfile_1_7_2007.csv" does not exist or you do not have permissions to access the file.
Error at Send Mail Task: There were errors during task validation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, the file does not exist. It will exist at tun-time. How can I tell the Send Mail Task to use a filename that is dynamic ?
By the way, once I have specified the code for FileAttachments, on trying to edit the Send Mail Task Properties, I can see that the Atachments field has been set to "d: estsmyfile_1_7_2007.csv by itself: I never typed it there !! It seems that the task executes the code even before it is run. If I remove the attachment path manually, on running the dts, I get an error saying that "either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to access the file.
I would be most grateful if anyone could be of help

I hace an Execute SQL task which calls a sproc which contains the sp_send_mail system sproc to e-mail a set of query results . It is OK as long as the query results are small, but I get this error if they get too big: - File attachment or query results size exceeds allowable value of 1000000 bytes.
