Dynamic Email Attachments
Hi all
I am trying to find a way to add files dynamically into the "Attachments" section of a "Send Mail" item. So far it appears that you have to hard code the path and filename one line at a time, but I would like to use wildcards or some other way to attach files dynamically at build time. Would appreciate any assistance on this.. thanks |

re: Dynamic Email Attachments
Here is a sample (using a Process Files step and a temporary macro) that should achieve what you want. Just replace the file criteria with the files you want to attach, and copy these steps into your build.

A general hint here David, if it is a text field in VBP you can use a macro expansion (macro name inside %%) or script (inside []) to generate its contents. Note too that you can expand macros inside the script, for example to pass parameters to a function call.
This makes VBP extremely powerful as pretty much all option information can be generated at execution time and can come from anywhere. Peter |

Another cool way to send e-mail using CDOSYS objects
here is another way to add attachments and send status of the build when complete:
VBSCRIPT CODE: ' send by connecting to port 25 of the SMTP server Dim iMsg Dim iConf Dim Flds Dim strHTML Dim strSmartHost Const cdoSendUsingPort = 2 StrSmartHost = "exchange" Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message") Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration") Set Flds = iConf.Fields ' set the CDOSYS configuration fields to use port 25 on the SMTP server With Flds .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = cdoSendUsingPort .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = strSmartHost .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 10 .Update End With ' build HTML for message body strHTML = "<HTML>" strHTML = strHTML & "<HEAD>" strHTML = strHTML & "<BODY>" strHTML = strHTML & "At %DATETIME%, the build of %ProjectName% (%BUILDNUM%) on %COMPUTERNAME% completed successfully.</br>" strHTML = strHTML & "The Build started at %STARTTIME%.</br>" strHTML = strHTML & "</BODY>" strHTML = strHTML & "</HTML>" ' apply the settings to the message With iMsg Set .Configuration = iConf .To = "%DistributionList%" .From = "person@company.com" .Subject = "Build Succeeded" .HTMLBody = strHTML 'you and create a loop here and add as many attachment as you would like .AddAttachment "C:\Program Files\VisBuildPro\VisBuildPro.log" .Send End With ' cleanup of variables Set iMsg = Nothing Set iConf = Nothing Set Flds = Nothing |
