Re: Email Reports

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We are using IBM's InfoPrint Server.  You can't get from the internet to 
this iSeries except via VPN.  However this iSeries can get to the 
internet.  To test if your iseries can do this try
CALL QCMD
PING NRA.ORG
They don't block pings.

If all that works for you then you should be able to send email from that 
iSeries.

Before we used InfoPrint Server we would convert the spool files to disk 
files and use SNDEMAIL from Dave Leland ( a Hoosier).  He had SNDEMAIL 
published in News/400 or whatever the name of the day is.

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
