Here are two ways to send an e-mail
1) Use the ODISendMail function in an ODI Package.
To use this function drag the ODISendMail reference onto the Package window, join it to the Package flow, click on the function icon and supply Mail Server (SMTP Server Name), From (Me), To (Distribution), CC (Copy), BCC (Blind Copy), Subject, Attachment, and Message Body in the window that appears.
I use this function to signal success or failure of a package or package step.
To do this I only supply only the Mail Server, From, To and Subject. I don't need anything else to report success or failure.
Here's a sample Subject:
<%=snpRef.getSession("CONTEXT_NAME")%> <%=snpRef.getSession( "SESS_NAME" )%> <%=snpRef.getStep("STEP_NAME")%>
The STEP_NAME holds the success/failure message
I don't use the Message Body or Attachment.
2) The procedure shown in the reply defines a Jython function to send an e-mail with Subject and Message Body using Mail Server, From and To values stored in a Jython dictionary. The Jython version is very old (release 2.1 or 2.2) so there are more elegant ways to write the function. Jython uses white space to control program flow which the Form editor deletes. Here's a verson of the code with leading periods in the code to preserve the white space and with comments on each line. Comments start with a # character and extend to the end of the line.
Dict = {} # This holds the global parameters
Dict['ToString'] = '[email protected]' # you supply the value
Dict['FromString'] = 'FromFromFrom' # you supply the value
Dict['SMTP'] = 'My Mail Server' # you supply the value
import smtplib #These are the Jython library routines needed to send the e-mail
def SendMail(MessageSubject,MessageLines): # This is the function definition
. global Dict # Point to the Dictionary
. Subject = '%s %s %s' % (Dict['Context'],Dict['Session'],MessageSubject) #Build the Subject Line
. MessageString = '' #Initialize the Message String
. for ReportLine in MessageLines: # Add the callers message lines to the Message String (each line here ends in a newline \n)
. MessageString = '%s%s' % (MessageString,ReportLine)
# The next statement builds the actual e-mail message according to a very strict format. Understanding the format is hard
. Message="From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\n\r\n%s" % (Dict['FromString'],Dict['ToString'],Subject,MessageString)
. server = smtplib.SMTP(Dict['SMTP']) # Setup the Mail Server
. server.sendmail(Dict['FromString'],Dict['ToString'],Message) # Send The Message
. server.quit() # Stop
# Here we build a sample message
ReportSubject = 'This is a Test Message'
Report = []
Report.append('First Line\n')
Report.append('Second Line\n')
Report.append('Last Line\n')
# Send the Message
SendMail(ReportSubject,Report)
If you're not familiar with Jython, this still won't make much sense, but Jython is not hard to learn, and this example is not very complicated.
