Re: Read Gmail from iSeries

Jay,

Yes, that is ironic and odd. But not unheard of.

All of our software is priced so low that most of our customers call it a
"no brainer". :) Especially after it's installed. We're talking less
than $600 a year for the licenses required. That's less than a few months
of a cell phone bill.

Maybe if you tried it out and showed them that you can have that part done
in an hour or so they'd reconsider. We do offer free trials. The temp
keys from our website are good for 10 days, but, you can contact me
personally and I'm happy to provide keys for a longer timeframe. The
reason it's 10 days is when it was 30, we had a few that would abuse the
system and simply get new keys every 30 days instead of purchasing a
license. This makes it easier to track those people down.

I can tell you that there are countless hours into the product itself and
if you want to tackle something like this by hand, well, that will be quite
a bit of time on your part.

I also have a customer using this now that I believe would be happy to give
a reference as to how it works and especially the support behind the
product. They used it so heavily that we have squeaked out most of the
issues in a couple weeks of using it.

I've looked at this before. The problem is I can't convince management on
this one. Ironic considering they'd rather have me spend several hours
writing it. LOL

Our GreenTools for Google Apps (G4G) has the ability to read a gmail
account
and parse the emails into it's pieces (attachments, text, html, files,
etc).

You can download it from www.bvstools.com/g4g.html.

You can see a short video of it in action at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1v_ledW4cQ

All of the OAuth 2.0 processing is done in the background after initial
setup which takes only a few seconds per account.

As always, we're happy to help get things going.

Hi,
The console I speak of is the Google API console or Google developers
console which you can find on the web. I am nota comm's expert but
there was no configuration changes required on my customers machine.
Once you have the project and Oauth2 'Token's' set all just worked.

Hi,
You need the console as this will give you account numbers, passwords,
API keys etc. You need these tocreate Oauth2 'Token's' so you can use
the api's to access the account. One other thing is that the email
body and any attachment will be downloadedbase64 encoded.

I was thinking that the HTTPAPI would be the choice.
I just need to read the iseries email from the iseries itself, why
would I need the console to talk to to it?

Hi Jay,
I'm doing exactly that at the moment.
I am using the free 'Scott Klement' software HTTPAPI for the
communications.
You will need to setup a new GMAIL account with admin authority.You
should see the Google API console to set up a project and specify
which GMIL API's you would like to use.You should use the Oauth2
Playground to get an idea of what is expected on your POST's and GET's
and the security involved with Qauth2.
I have been able to access the account.Retrieve a list of email id's
in that emails in box.Specify which email to retrieve.Specify an
attachment on an email to retrieve.
All stored in an IFS directory

Regards,Mark.

Has anyone had an iSeries open a connection to external email server
and draw it's own mail into itself to parse it for specific data?

We have an idea were email received on a specific account gets
forwarded over to the iSeries' own email account. The idea is to have
the system retrieve those email from the server (Gmail in this case)
and read through the emails looking for specific keywords. Depending
upon the keywords found, do specific reactions.
