Re: Emailing the spool file

Amitava

There is some prerequiste work to enable AS400 email.   First you will need
to configure SMTP, POP3, and Distribution Services (QSNADS) on the AS400.
You will also need to take into account your companies email infrastructure.
The AS400 can (and I recommend this) be configured as a sub domain.   In
your inbound post office you will need to configure an MX record in order
for reponses to emails to be sent to the AS400.    This is very important if
you wish to keep the AS400 itself directly off  the internet.   The good
news is that this is a process that only needs to be done once.

Secondly,  the sender needs to setup as an internet mail account on the
AS400.  Otherwise the email will not be delivered and the AS400 will have an
Distribution error in the QSYSOPR message queue.

A very important fact to note that prior to V5R1 the AS400 could only be
configure as an email server.    At V5R1 IBM introduced support for ETERN(
sp?) which allows the AS400 to function as a client to a server running
DOMINO.

Subject: Emailing the spool file


Hi
We have BPCS version 6.0.04 running on V4R4 AS400. Now the user wants to
email the report (in spool) directly to the customer's email address. The
customer's email address is in Customer Master file (RCM). How can I email
the spool as an attachment?
TIA
Amitava
