Using a SEND_MAIL script command to send an email attachment intermittently/randomly fails. The message returned may be similar to one of the folowing:
U0050014 Cannot open attachment file 'C:\UC4\Attachments\Daily_Report.html', error code: '2', error description: 'The system cannot find the file specified.'.
or
U0050014 Cannot open attachment file 'C:\UC4\Attachments\Daily_Report.html', error code: '3', error description: 'The system cannot find the path specified.'
Is a multi-server configuration being used? If yes, try resolution below.?
If "C:\UC4\Attachments" is not a shared drive, and there are multiple host making up the Automation Engine with separate hard drives on each server, this configuration/setup will not work since only one Windows host has access to this folder.
The "send_mail" function can be done by every WP of the Automation Engine (except DWPs), so if the "send_mail" is done by a WP on a Windows host where no "C:\UC4\Attachments" folder is actually available - the "send_mail" will fail with one of the error messages above.
To resolve this problem, do one of the following:
1) Create a shared drive for all the Windows Servers in the Automation Engine to access for SEND_MAIL attachments.
2) Change your jobs to write out to a shared folder for all the Windows Servers in the Automation Engine to access for SEND_MAIL attachments.?
