What type of task would you use to send an email notification in DTS?

The Send Mail Task is specifically designed to send email notifications within DTS (Data Transformation Services). This task allows users to configure details such as the recipient's email address, subject line, and message body. It can also include attachments and set the severity of the email notifications, making it a versatile tool for automated communication regarding DTS process completions or alerts.

In contrast, other task types serve different functions. The Execute SQL Task is used to run SQL commands against a database, the Data Transformation Task focuses on transforming data between different sources, and the File System Task manages files and directories- such as moving, copying, or deleting files. While these tasks are essential for data management and processing, they do not handle email notifications, highlighting the unique purpose and functionality of the Send Mail Task.
