How to attach a flat file into informatica Email?

Question

I want to send a mail to some users after workflow is done. This email should contain 3 xls file or 1 xls file with 3 sheets. The xls file contains a query result -less than 50 rows- which is loaded by a task dynamically on each run of the workflow.

So in Informatica I couldn't see an option inside the "Email" task to attach anything. Can you help me please?

Answer 1

You cannot send emails with attachments using the Email task (don't ask me why, I cannot imagine any reason for that and this is how it is).

However, sessions can send emails and these emails may contain attachments - the appropriate options are on the Components tab, the variable you need is %a<>.

Answer 2

cat filename | mailx -s "subject" abc@def.com

or

use mutt command to send files as attachments

Answer 3

At session level, in components tab we have option to send mail along with attachments.we have to provide path of the file as well using %a<> built in command. Example:- %a
