sendEmail

Facilitates sending an email from the command-line or a Command Job Step without setting up an Email Notifier. This API is more dynamic than an email notifier because you do not need to setup some kind of a template beforehand. This API also makes sending email attachments easier than using a notifier template.

Instead of (or in addition to) specifying a configName, any of the configuration options for an email configuration can be specified as options. These options are: mailHost,mailPort, mailFrom, mailUser, and mailUserPassword.

If both a configName and some or all of the configuration options are specified, the specified options override values stored in the configuration. In this case, the user must have both modify and execute permission on the configuration.

Specify the options you need to create the type of email message you want to send.

  • mixedRelated –Multipart "mixed" element with a nested multipart "related" element. Texts and inline elements will be added to the nested "related' element, while attachments will be added to the "mixed' root element. It works on most mail clients other than Mac Mail and some situations on Outlook. If you experience problems, use the "related" value.

multipartMode defaults to none unless there are multiple parts, in which case it defaults to mixedRelated. If both text and html arguments are specified, both values are sent as alternates in a multipart message.
