The spooled file should trigger a function P=Send spooled file as PDF
email in Auto Forms Control and the merged spooled file will then be sent
as an attached PDF file.
Refer to page 156 for more information.
3) Splitting the spooled file into parts for e.g. each customer, inserting e.g.
information from the spooled file into the subject or contents of the E-mail
or even into the name of the attached PDF file. This is done by use of an Email
finishing definition. Refer to page 204 for more information.
4) Send e-mails via the APF3812/SNDMAIL command.
5) Send e-mails to multiple receivers with the APF3812/SNDEMAIL command.
Before the e-mails can actually be sent out you need to setup either InterForm400 SMTP
or OS400 SMTP/MSF. You should really consider to use InterForm400 SMTP because of
this:
a) The details of the InterForm400 SMTP log information is much more
detailed than for OS400 SMTP/MSF. The APF3812/WRKMAILLOG
command will just list *IBMSMTP if you use OS400 SMTP, but
InterForm400 SMTP will be able to ‘talk’ directly with the receiving
mailservers thus telling you the exact status.
b) InterForm400 SMTP is easier to setup.
c) E-mails sent via InterForm400 SMTP are sent out faster.
Setup of InterForm400 SMTP
The setup of InterForm400 SMTP is described on page 292.
Remember to add a start of the subsystem APF3812/MAILINTER in the IPL start up
program if you chose to use the InterForm400 SMTP.
Setup of OS400 SMTP
The created E-mails can be sent out from the System i either directly from
the System i or through a mail server. These are the commands, that you
should use:
1) CFGTCP - Option 10. Work with TCP/IP host table entries
- Insert IP-address and Hostname of the mail server - if used.
2) CHGTCPDMN
- Insert the IP-adresses of Domain Name Servers at INTNETADR
3) Add possible unknown routes to the mail server
CFGTCP - Option 2. Work with TCP/IP routes
