RE: Email Reports

You would be able to email from your AS400 as long as your network has
connectivity to the outside world.

The SMTP set up was suprisingly simple, and IBM's document easy to 
follow. 

We are using Solution400's S4iXP product, very versatile and fairly
inexpensive, Probably overkill for your immediate requirements, but it's
ease of use may inspire you to use it more. IT'll FTP, email, print, some
other stuff I forget.

We email our customers their invoices, and embed HTML messages, links and
promos with this. Some pretty cool stuff. 100% customer support too. Walk
you through every step it takes to get you set up. Do other reports too,
various formats available. HTML, TXT, PDF.

Don't work for em, just use their product.

Hi Folks,

 

We have had our remote sales force ask that reports be emailed to them. The
normal routine has been to run the queries that generated these reports and
then mail them out. And obviously that takes time.

 

We are on V4R5 (hoping to upgrade be on V5R2 real soon on a new box.)

 

So is anyone doing anything like this ?

 

I'm aware of some of the third party tools. So any feedback on them would be
fine. Also any home grown stuff ?

And this might be a stupid question, but if our AS/400 does not have a
public address, is this even possible ? We have a VPN setup where folks can
get to our AS/400 remotely.

Thanks,

Chuck
