Hi Akhilesh,

You can run a VB Script and send the attachment before the job is started

Please refer to my document

You can execute the VB script through  a btach command which will only send the file to the ETL team for processing

That doesn't sounds to be a reasonable way to receive data for loading.

Ideally, flat file should be sent to shared folder/FTP from where BODS job can easily pick it.

Try working on alternatives.
