Tips for Sending Email

Tips for Sending Email

When the Integration Service runs on Windows, configure a Microsoft Outlook profile for each node.
If you run the Integration Service on multiple nodes in a Windows environment, create a Microsoft Outlook profile for each node. To use the profile on multiple nodes for multiple users, create a generic Microsoft Outlook profile, such as “PowerCenter,” and use this profile on each node in the domain. Use the same profile on each node to ensure that the Microsoft Exchange Profile you configured for the Integration Service matches the profile on each node.
Use service variables to address email.
Use service variables to address email in Email tasks, post-session email, and suspension email. When the service variables $PMSuccessEmailUser and $PMFailureEmailUser are configured for the Integration Service, use them to address email. You can change the email recipient for all sessions the service runs by editing the service variables. It is easier to deploy sessions into production if you define service variables for both development and production servers.
Generate and send post-session reports.
Use a post-session success command to generate a report file and attach that file to a success email. For example, you create a batch file called Q3rpt.bat that generates a sales report, and you are running Microsoft Outlook on Windows.
Use other mail programs.
If you do not have Microsoft Outlook and you do not configure the Integration Service to send email using SMTP, use a post-session success command to invoke a command line email program, such as Windmill. In this case, you do not have to enter the email user name or subject, since the recipients, email subject, and body text will be contained in the batch file, sendmail.bat.
