Send e-mail 2.0

Summary

Sends an e-mail for each row according to the input table.

Getting started

Prepare a table which has the following columns:

Recipient email address (string)
Send email (bool) – Should the mail be sent?
Subject (string)
Message (string)

Optional the following columns can be provided:
HTML format (bool)
Different return address (bool)
Path and filename of attachment (string)
Message column (string) – Has the message be sent?

Settings

The setting within the operator are the sender name and the sender email. Additionally it can be chose whether the mail should be sent as HTML as default and if the attachments are in the TIS file system.

Configuration Settings

The operator „Send E-Mails" needs a configuration file named XimesEmailConfig.xml. It defines the following:

Which mail server should be used

Which settings/credentials are necessary to send mails

The content of XimesEmailConfig.xml has the following structure:

XimesEmailConfig.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
<XimesEmail> 
    <SMTP HOST="1.2.3.4" PORT="25" SSL="0" AUTHENTICATION="0" USERNAME="N/A" PASSWORD="N/A" Active="1"/> 
</XimesEmail> 

HOST	IP address of mail server
PORT	default for SMTP is 25
SSL	0 = no SSL 1 = secured with SSL
AUTHENTICATION	0 = without authentication 1 = with authentication
USERNAME PASSWORD	credentials for the SMTP authentication if username and password is used then AUTHENTICATION must be set to 1
ACTIVE	0 = inactive (only one record can be active, in case there are multiple smtp entries) 1 = active

Additionally there are two config files web.config for [TIS]Editor and TIServiceWindowsService.exe.config for the TIS Service. There the folder of XimesEmailConfig.xml needs to be defined.
In the TIS standalone these filescan be found in:

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<web>\TIS\WebApp\web.config
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<web>\TIService\bin\TIServiceWindowsService.exe.config

These files have a appSettings section where the following entry must be available and direct to the correct folder

<appSettings> 
  <add key="XimesEmailConfigPath" value="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\XIMES\TIService\config" />
</appSettings>

Please note that for SP-EXPERT deployments the directories are different, hence the XimesEmailConfig.xml would be located as well differently

C:\Interflex\SP-EXPERT Forecast\SPX-SmartClient-Rep-FC\WebApp\web.config
C:\Interflex\SP-EXPERT Forecast\SPX-SmartClient-Rep-FC\TIService\bin\TIServiceWindowsService.exe.config
C:\Interflex\SP-EXPERT Forecast\SPX-SmartClient-Rep-FC\TIService\config\XimesEmailConfig.xml
