BlueSeries

Hi,

My client need confirmation that e-mails/faxes have been sent by BlueSeries. They wish to automatically monitor BlueSeries to confirm mail has been sent. This is because some customers/suppliers claim they have not received mail/faxes (eg. Purchase orders, remittance advice, statements, etc). My client are looking for some feed back from BlueSeries, that automatically sends an alert if mail/fax is not sent. I am not sure where to start, is there an exit program point, or something else that I can use?

BlueSeries has an exit point for all kind of completion – either it is good or bad: we call them "Post Communication exit programs". Look at the source file QSAMPLE in BlueFax and look at i.e. EKS510. This is an CL-program that illustrates the flow.

On page four in the "Work with Blue Series System Value" (option 15 on the main menu) you can enter the name of the "Post Communication Program" and library. You need to restart the subsystem before these changes takes effect.

Note: post communication is both inbound and outbound so you need some if's and else's around the status code. These status codes are defined in EKS510 as well….
