DSXchange

Hi,

I used the 'Notification Activity' stage to send emails with attachments. However, in the actual email I can see one extra blank ATTxxxxxx.txt file along with the expected attachments.

I then wrapped eveything in a routine based on 'DSSendemail', but still get the same result.


Can anyone shed some lights on this?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard.

It's not DataStage doing that, it's Outlook (or Outlook Express).

Use a different mail client (such as blat) to avoid it.

If you search the net using Google you will find MS Outlook threads dealing with that issue and somewhere in there will be a description of the settings you need to change in Outlook in order to get rid of the empty attachment.
