Configuring the Recipient List with Control-D

Control-D Delivery Server distributes reports directly from Control-D in an email and attaches the report. You can select recipients from the recipient list, and add text into an email, in the Control-D Delivery Server. The recipient list is configured in the Control-D Mainframe.

Before You Begin

  • You need to have 2 CCIDs, such as BD10394 and BD10434, installed on your Control-D Mainframe environment.

Begin

  1. In the Control-D Mainframe External Destination CTDDS ATTRIBUTES statement, define the parameter RECIPIENT=member_name.

    • To move email addresses from the Control-D Mainframe Recipient tree and add the description statement EMAIL=member_name to the corresponding recipient entry in the Recipient tree, define RECIPIENT=%EMAIL%.

    • Member_name: Defines the member name containing a list of e-mail addresses. You must create this member in the IOA BANNERS library. The member can contain one or more sections, each containing a list of e-mail addresses associated with a different report name. Each section starts with a +++repname statement, where repname is either a complete report name or mask.

    • EMAIL=e-mail_address: Defines an email address in the list at the beginning of a new line which might continue from any position in the next line when the email address cannot fit on one line.

    • Repname: Enables you to use a single email address list from one section for each specific report name. You must define the repname statements in a sequence in order of importance, which begins with specific names and ends with the most general mask.

    CTDDS ATTRIBUTES statement

    The following is specified in CTDDS ATTRIBUTES:

    RECIPIENT=MAILLST

    The MAILLST member contains the following lines:

    +++REP*

    [email protected]

    [email protected]

    +++*

    [email protected]

    Distributes reports names which begin with REP to:

    [email protected]; [email protected]

    Distributes the remaining reports to:

    [email protected]

  2. In the Control-D Mainframe External Destination CTDDS ATTRIBUTES statement, define the parameter BODYTEXT=member_name.

    • member_name: Defines the member name containing the text to include in an e-mail. This member can contain one or more sections, each containing the body text associated with a different report name. Each section starts with a +++repname statement, where repname is either a complete report name or a mask.

    • Repname: Enables you to use a single email address list from one section for each specific report name. You must define the repname statements in a sequence in order of importance, which begins with specific names and ends with the most general mask. The email body text does not include lines which begin and end with an asterisk.

    Defines the BODYTEXT=MYBODY parameter in CTDDS ATTRIBUTES.

    The MYBODY member contains the following statements:

    +++REP*

    line 11

    line 12

    line 13

    +++*

    line 21

    line 22

    Inserts the text which appears in line 11, 12, and 13 in the email body text when the reports names begin with REP:

    [email protected]; [email protected]

    Inserts the text which appears in line 21 and 22 in the email body text in the remaining reports.

    The recipient list is configured.
