SMTPMailService Example

LANSA Integrator

SMTPMailService Example

This example program will perform the following steps:

1.  It performs a series of calls necessary to load the SMTPMailService

2.  It specifies the SMTP server and the user and password necessary to logon to that server using the SET service command  (you need to modify the source code to provide details appropriate for your environment)

3.  It specifies the TO and FROM address and SUBJECT line for the example e-mail it will send using the SET service command (you need to modify the source code to provide details appropriate for your environment)

4.  It sends the example e-mail using the SEND service command – in this simple example, the body text lines comes from compile-time array data coded in the RPG program, but it could equally well have come from a database or have been received in various formats through another LANSA Integrator service call      

5.  It unloads the service and closes the connection to the JSM server.

Refer to the comments and code in the example for more information.

There are three steps required to make this application work:

1.   Create the structure XML

The call to the SEND command of the SMTPMailService passes a multiple occurrence data structure containing the body text lines that will be sent in the e-mail.  For this to work, the LANSA Integrator service needs to know the characteristics of this structure.  This is accomplished by supplying an XML file that describes the structure.

For this example, the required XML is supplied below.  To install this XML you need to perform the following steps:

a.  Locate the structure folder in the JSM instance folder for your JSM server

b.  Create a file called SMTPMailBody.xml

c.  Edit the file with a text editor and paste into it the xml supplied below

Note that the field names used in the structure XML do not need to match the variable names used in the RPG program.  It is their order, types and length that are important – not their names.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>                               

                                                                     

<rdml:structure xmlns:rdml="http://www.lansa.com/2000/XML/Function"> 

                                                                     

   <rdml:field name="BODYTXT" type="A" length="80"  />               

                                                                     

</rdml:structure>                                                       

2.   Register the structure XML with the JSM Server

The example program refers to the structure XML supplied above with the symbolic name SMTP.MailBodyList by specifying that name in the SERVICE_STRUCTURE keyword of the SEND command.

The JSM Server needs to be given a link between the symbolic name and the actual name and location of the structure XML file created in step 1.  To do this you need to perform the following steps:

a.  Locate the system folder in the JSM instance folder for your JSM server

b.  Edit the file structure.properties with a text editor and paste into it the entry supplied below (make sure the new entry is on a line by itself)

c.  Save your changes

d.  Restart or refresh the JSM Server instance (refer to Java Service Manager Refresh).

     structure.SMTP.MailBodyList=structure/SMTPMailBody.xml

3.   Create and run the ILE RPG example program

Copy and paste the source provided below into a source file member.  Then modify the constant values for server, user id and password and to and from addresses as directed above and in the source code.

To create the program, you need to use the CRTRPGMOD and CRTPGM commands.  Make sure that you use the parameter values specified in the source member.
