 |
|
First of all I must say is a great peace of software! It took me only 3 mins to set up two perfect synchronizing folders - wow!
Now the only thing I'm missing is to let VVLauncher to notify me by E-Mail if there is a change in the content of the watched folders.
Do you think you could include this featurein one of the next versions?
Best regards

Thank you for the compliments ! 
Do you mean that you would like to receive an e-mail with the execution results or an e-mail every time a folder content changes ?

I just need a comfirmation that a files has changed and that the sync is completed - perhaps you could add a list of files changed (optional).
I need it because the sync process is running on the background on the server and my users need to know when there are updates in the watched folders so that they can access the new files. |

I now have it running on two machines at work and plan to add a few home machines to your list of installed base.
I would love to get the latest backup log file (not the whole log file) emailed to me, so I know when there are errors. I would need to enter the smtp server info, login name and password (for the mail server) and toggle the email notification on in the preferences for the job. That way I could set up a variety of jobs with different email accounts on different mail servers if needed.
Thanks! |

Hi all,
I search through this forum and found alot of request for a sample script to setup an email notification mechanism in Vice Versa. I find it quite surprising that nobody ever replied to it. At least the admins..!? Anyways, I had the same problem but finally worked out a solution using VBScript and decided to share it with you guys.
You will need to copy the following into Notepad for example and save the file as "YourExactProfileName_TheWayYouDoTheSync_end.vbs".
"TheWayYouDoTheSync" is either "manual" or "auto".
Ok, let's get down to business:
| Code: | Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set oArgs = WScript.Arguments
Dim result
if oArgs(0) < 1 then
result = "Success!"
else
result = "Some error(s) occured!"
end if
objMessage.Subject = "Vice Versa Backup Result:" & result
objMessage.From = "backup@yourdomain.com"
objMessage.To = "yourname@yourdomain.com"
objMessage.TextBody = "The backup associated with the vbscript file " & WScript.ScriptName & " finished with the exit code #" & oArgs(0) & ". Check the help file for the meaning of this error code... and your log file for the error(s) details."
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "your.smtp.server"
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Update
objMessage.Send |
Now, you will need to change these lines:
| Code: | objMessage.From = "backup@yourdomain.com"
objMessage.To = "yourname@yourdomain.com"
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "your.smtp.server" |
to your personnal information. If you want to, you can also change the way the message is sent like the subject of the message, the body...etc.
Of course you can add some stuff to the script like all the Exit Code messages but I don't have the time to deal with that. If you do, at least you have a starter.
Hope that helps somebody! |

I used the above script and tagged in the following section:
http://www.paulsadowski.com/WSH/cdo.htm#LoadFromFile
in order to load the log file results into an email. Unfortunately, the ViceVersa created log file is in UNICODE and VBScript doesn't seem to be able to handle it. (VBSCript can't read binary files?) The email being generated has an empty body.
If I copy and paste the results of the log file into a new file created using TextPad then everything works fine. Amazingly, the new file is half the size of the ViceVersa created log file. 
Is there a preference or profile setting that will get around this problem currently, or at least a plan to address this in a future release? |

Log files in ViceVersa PRO are UNICODE so they can handle all characters in the world ... 
But you can instruct VBScript to open files as UNICODE, use:
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\MyEmail.txt", ForReading, , TristateTrue)
instead of
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\MyEmail.txt", ForReading)
