Sending Alerts ,Email Notifications From SQL To CellPhone
Sep 4, 2001
HI,
Does any one know how I could send all the alerts, email notifications from the SQL Server to my Sprint PCS Phone. Is there any software for that. I know that it can be done by MSN mobile. Just checking whether it can be directly sent to my phone rather than going to hotmail which is then forwared to my cell phone. Let me know.
Thanks,
Cinday
This is on sql server 2005: I created an agent job and I want to be able to notify people by email when it completes and when it fails. I first wanted to test the notification for when it completes. I created an operator and entered the E-mail name. In the job properties, I selected this operator in the Notifications page.
The job runs an ETL process. When I run the job, after it completes, the email is not sent. This seems straight-forward. The email address is valid, I tested the email address and it does get sent when I do it from Outlook 2007.
I have several alerts set up and a job setup to notify via email if alerts occur. There are times when I might be doing maintenace on a box that may generate alerts but I don't want to get emailed or paged for these "dummy" alerts. I thought first of setting the enabled column of sysalerts to 0 - that doesn't work. I still get notified. Then I thought I'd set the enabled column in sysjobs for my notification job to 0 while I'm doing the work. But as soon as I re-enable the job I get an alert. It seems that as soon as the job is re-enabled it checks the NT application log and sees that an alert was fired and somehow knows that there was no notification sent so sends one. If I purge the NT application log before re-enabling the job is solves the problem. But that is a very in-ellegant solution and I don't want to loose all the info stored in the event log any way. Does anyone know how SQL SErver aggent keeps track of this stuff? (ie. that an alert was fired but it's response job is disabled and to check once a job is re-enabled to see if any alerts occured while it was disabled?) I did a Profiler trace while re-enabling the job but didn't see anything pertinant in there.
Platform: Win2000 SP3, SQL 7.00 - 7.00.1063I have a SQL-authenticated user with the following permissions:"Process Administrators" server role"db_owner" and "TargetServersRole" for msdb database"db_owner" for master database.The problem is that when this user opens up any job (i.e. owned by anyuser) in the SQL Server Agent, and goes to the Notifications tab, thefirst three alerts (Email, Page and Net send) are greyed out, i.e.these cannot be set.The other options are available (Write to Windows application eventlog, Automatically delete job).The only way I can achieve this is to give this user the "SystemAdministrators" server role, i.e. sa.But this of course gives absolutely full access, which I don't want.Is there a way for a user to see/change Notifications of jobs whichonly he owns?
Just set up my first Service Broker test. Wanted to send an Event Notification from one instance to another. Finally, the message arrives but profiler shows that the message is still being continously resent (and rejected as being duplicate). What am I doing wrong?
With best regards,
Artus

Some packages I develop have a lot of steps, and some people like myself can go crazy with email notifications, depending on the graph, I sometimes add notifications (success/fail) at the component level, so I can know what happened to that SSIS package from my blackberry and immediately log into the VPN and fix the issue.
The only problem that I have with that is that sometimes, like right now, I see myself adding 6 "send mail tasks" to SSIS packages, one pass/fail for each component.
Basically, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or suggestions, ideally I wish I could create one single send mail task that could be reused by other components on the package and just update the message/subject through expression and variables.
In the notifications tab of the job I have e-mail operator selected. Click on the box with the elipses to enter the email addresses. It will let me enter 2 email addresses in the e-mail name field. It looks like the field has a limited length...is there a way to manually enter several addresses?
Does anyone know of a way, either by 3rd party tools or using SQL server, to have alerts get emailed to you in a clustered active/active environment? I work as the DBA at a quickly-growing company, whose production databases need to be online 24X7. I want to set up the alerts to email/page me if there are problems with the databases, but since (according to microsoft) SQL mail is not supported in a clustered environment I'm at a loss.
I'm looking for some help in trying to resolve this issue either by 3rd party means or a SQL Server work around.
We are in the process of setting up a SQL Server 2000 cluster, but have been told that MAPI email is not cluster aware so we can't use the alert system.
Has anyone got any idea how to get round this or how to set up alerts in another way (eg: when a backup fails, can we send smtp mail?) etc
I once had a procedure to setup exchange client as email for SQL alerts, but I've misplaced it. (threw it out, actually) I've not had great luck finding it on the web at MS, or otherwise. Does anyone know where this can be found? Thanks in advance, John
I have a stored procedure which will send an email notification everyday the count of names and count of logins at night. And this sends like a link so the users can directly click on the link(s) and see who all logged in. This works perfectly fine.
Now my requirement is that if there is no count for either name or logins it should send just as text and not as link.
Select count (name) from dbo.test=0 just plain 'text total count of names 0' Select count (logins) from dbo.test1=0 just plain text 'total count of logins 0'
i get just as frustrated each time i try to configure email alerts on failed jobs on ms sql, it is beyond me why microsoft couldn't just let you point out an SMTP server to send through and be done with it.
is there a way to avoid having to setup an email client on our sql 7 and 2000 servers through some 3rd party app or other simple solution?
We have (running SQL 2012 Std) and have enabled trace flag 1204 and 1222 for capturing deadlock through extended events. I have enabled deadlock notification through email .But it only send deadlock event occurred notification from the sql server error log . I was wondering if its possible to email the deadlock details they get generated in extended events via DB mail.
Running sql server 2000 sp4 on an 8 year old Server and a shaky SAN. We have had 3 major outages (corrupted databases) and they are finally biting the bullet and ordering a new Server. The new server will not be in place for about 9 days so until then... limping along with what we have. Is there any way to have SQL Server send an email alert when a specific error occurrs and is logged in the SQL log? These are the two errors that I want to alert on.. "Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 2" or "I/O error (bad page ID) detected during read at offset"
I am trying to send out notifications when jobs complete (fail or succeed). I have database mail working fine on my DEV server, but I am having issues with it on my PROD server. I am currently having people look into if McAfee may be blocking it.
I am able to send out a test email from SSMS>Management>Database Mail, but when I set a Notification for a job, the job will complete and in the history, it will say "NOTE: Failed to notify 'User' via email."
I have created an Operator and set up Profiles and Accounts, just as I did on my DEV server.
I have developed a B2B Application which is successfully running, now the problem is that my client says that he need a process which sends report of total orders on daily bases.
I am using SQL Server and think that SQL Mail is a good idea, I can find many articles about which needs Outlook for that which is much difficult on the web server. Remember I need to send email only not to receive.
The following SP adds a record to a table. I want to then send an email from within this SP to notify someone that their login is blocked. I can get their email address easily with a simple select but how does the xp_sendmail procedure actually fit in ?? I've tried adding it in just before the raiserror part but it doesn't work ? The raiserror part is used to trigger an alert to notify me but i need to also notify the client. Can anyone see what i am doing wrong please. Many thanks.
I want to send an email to all the addresses that are contained in a table. I have tried using xp_sendmail, but I just get an error saying that xp_sendmail cannot be found. Any ideas???
Ok I am going to try and explain this best as possible. I have a report that gets everyones name who has not filled in attendance for a class. what they want is when the report is ran an email gets sent out. so I have written the sql to create a temp table that will get the distinct email.... so lets say the table consists of
My code below works fine when run from my pc (changed all the values forobvious reasons). The code is placed inside a DTS task via VBS scripting.But when I try to run directly from the server where sqlserver is installed,the script fails.I have SMTP running, but there is no outlook installed.Can someone please advise what I am missing.ThanksBobSet objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")objEmail.From = "send@test.com"objEmail.To = "receive@test.com"objEmail.Subject = "TEST SUBJECT"objEmail.AddAttachment "\server est.csv"objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "SERVER_NAME"objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "username"objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "userpwd"objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25objEmail.Configuration.Fields.UpdateobjEmail.Sendset objEmail = nothing
If SQL is restarted for any reason, I need SQL server to send emails to others letting them know that the server is has restarted once it comes back up.
Is there an Error # that I can build an Alert on? Ideas???
Does anyone know how to send emails from within a trigger without the use of a mail server. I know that xp_sendmail can be used if a mail server, such as MS Exchange Server is available and SQL Server is set up as an e-mail client. However is there a way to send mail to the outside world without the use of a mail server? (Perhaps there is a third party product or extended stored procedure that can give me this ability?)
I would like to send email from Sqlserver 7.0, and I don't have a MS exchange server(I have a smtp server). Do I need to have MS exchange server and if not, how can I get around this? Can Outlook express be of any use?
I'm trying to send email through Integration Services (based on when a package has been executed successfully) however I get this error message:
SSIS package "CopyEmailTable.dtsx" starting. Error: 0xC002F304 at Send Mail Task, Send Mail Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Failure sending mail.". Task failed: Send Mail Task SSIS package "CopyEmailTable.dtsx" finished: Success.
Sending email via Mgmt Studio works fine, but not through Integ Services.
Hi. I found this article on 4GuysFromRolla (http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/tips/t051706-1.shtml) about sending an email when the database is updated. Well, I need to take this example a bit further. We are allowing people to enter their email address on our site to receive email updates on their case. I have all of that working in the database. But I don't know how to modify their example to loop through a listing of email addresses who want to receive an email when the case has been updated. Does anybody know how I can accomplish this? Thanks for all your help!
