Job Alert Notification (SQL 8.0)

  • Hi. Does any one have any suggestions on how I may be notified via email (Example: Mail Session/Operators/xpsmtp) when a SQL Job has failed?

    I know about the options available for SQL 6.0 & 7.0 but has any one tried them on SQL 8.0 on MS Win Server 2003?

    Thanks,

    MG

  • They are the same. Setup SQL Mail and mark the job to notify you when it fails. You set your email up as an operator.

  • since i don't want outlook or a mapi client installed on my sql box, on all my jobs i create an extra step at the end which basically does a command line smtp mail.  then i set all my jobs when failed to go to this last step.  works great.  a lot of initial setup and it works well b/c i'm the only one notified.
