Very Computer

Hi,

   We are using SQL 2000 on Win  2000 Server. We are at SP2 for windows 2000
and SP2 for SQL 2000. We  have a requirement wherein, We have to send a mail
or a page to a set of addresses if the database bacup job fails. This has to
accomplished without configuring or using SQL Mail.  I was taking a look at
the KB articles about achieving this. I found a very helpful KB article
titled 'HOW TO: Send E-Mail Without Using SQL Mail in SQL Server' which
suits my requirement just fine. As per this article it is achieved thru a
stored procedure created on Master db. But to tailor the code to suit my
situations, I think, I have to change the following lines in SP code that is
in the KB article:

-- This is to configure a remote SMTP server.
--
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cdos...

'Configuration.fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendus
ing").Value','2'
-- This is to configure the Server Name or IP address.
-- Replace MailServerName by the name or IP of your SMTP Server.

'Configuration.fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpse
rver").Value', 'MailServerName'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---

I just wated to make sure I am proceeding in the right direction or not. As
per my understanding the only change that I have to make is to replace the
string 'MailServerName' with a fully qualified servername or IP address of
the SMTP server that I will be using for the purpose of sending the mail in
the line underlined. I wanted to get opinions and feedback from guys having
tried this solution successfully. An early response would be very much
appreciated.

Thanks

Yes that's correct.

Thank you very much for your replies. Solution provided in the KB article
worked. As I had stated in my original post, all I had to do was substitute
the string 'MailServerName' with a fully qualified servername or IP address
of the SMTP server. KB article no is 312839.

Cheers
