BCP command not writing file


I use the following as an export query and I had to transfer to a new upgraded windows server 2003-2008R2. I also upgraded from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 and apparently screwed up some permission. The following code is supposed to write to a file that gets picked up by dbmail and emailed. The problem is its not writing the file and I believe permissions to be the problem but am not sure where I went wrong. I known th this works as it worked for years on the other server without a hitch so the problem has to be permissions I am guessing.

The message I get is as follows and occurs because the file is never created:

Executed as user: NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT. Attachment file D:\Argosy_import_090513_0001.txt is invalid. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22051). The step failed.

Solution

  • Did the attachment size get changed to the default?

    See if the attachment exists on the server!

    Code below shows current attachment size and then sets max size for DBMail.

    -- show current size
    exec msdb.dbo.sysmail_help_configure_sp 'MaxFileSize'
    
    -- set the max attachment size to 20000 bytes
    exec msdb.dbo.sysmail_configure_sp 'MaxFileSize', '20000';
    

    Also, make sure that the attachment extension is allowed in mail.

    -- show prohibited extensions
    EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_help_configure_sp 'ProhibitedExtensions'
