Hi,

Hi, I'm really new here.

I would like to check a webpage for a specific string of text. The web page would just say success when it was up and running, if it didn't say success the job should fail. I can't figure out where I would test that condition as the job always says it was successful.

Thank you for your assistance.

I guess you have save the content to a file, and check the file for the string you are looking for.
So first a HTTP Get task + save content, and then you have many options. I would probably use a .NET task like this (remember to ad the using statement on top):

Hi Casey,

I have such a thin in place at the moment.
2 tasks:
1) HTTP task
2) e-mail task

1) the HTTP task goes to a website. In the output of the task you can see the HTML of the page.
2) the email task mails an error mail, but it has a condition bound to it.

The conndition checks if there is a specific string in the HTML task output. If it's there the condition is set to exit the job (no email) and if there is a match it will continue so the email will be send.

Regards
Erik

Thanks to both of you, that was very helpful.

Unfortunately it seems our mail server is not compatible or something. Exception in Task: User authentication failed: Unaccepted server reply for command dXNlcm5hbW (error code is 535) (error code is 535)

I know my login information is correct so not sure what else I can do here.

Post pics of the connection you are trying. What type of mail server do you have?

icewarp is our mail server.

There isn't much an image would do here. I use the same username I use for a local ColdFsuion server I'm running and that connects correctly.

The userName is just a name without @ or domain

u: cdougall
p: xxx
Port 25
No SSL or encryption as it's an internal server

It finds the server, it just can't authenticate...

Exception in Task: User authentication failed: Unaccepted server reply for command dXNlcm5hbWU9ImNkb3VnYWxsIiwgcmVhbG09ImNmZ3Y5LmNvbSIsIG5vbmNlPSJaREE0TWpkbE9HVTRZamhqIiwgZGlnZXN0LXVyaT0ic210cC8xNjUuNzkuMjM4LjEwMCIsIHFvcD1hdXRoLCBjbm9uY2U9ImJkYjVlNWM5IiwgbmM9MDAwMDAwMDEsIHJlc3BvbnNlPWRiOTRhYjQ1N2UwNjliMjc5MWI2ODI0ZTgxNjc2MzZj (error code is 535) (error code is 535)
