eSendIT

eSendIT provides automatic, unattended distribution of CICS and batch reports. Reports can be sent via Email directly from CICS or can be sent through an attached CICS/Fax PC Server to be delivered in a variety of formats via fax, Email, FTP uploads, or copied directly to a network folder. Report archival is possible via the direct copy or FTP methods.

eSendIT provides the following functions:

  • CICS application programs can create and send data messages using a simple Application Programming Interface (API).
  • Batch programs can send all or parts of a report to one or more destinations.
  • Users and Administrators can mange messages that have been sent:

- Messages that have been sent can be viewed, copied, changed and/or re sent from a CICS application.

-  A user can be notified if a message fails to be sent successfully.

With the Web Interface Feature, report data can also be viewed from a web browser!

In addition to sending data from your z/OS or OS/390 system, the Web Interface Feature can be used to allow your users to view the data while it is still on your mainframe. You may not need to send the data anywhere! By just entering a URL pointing to the Web Interface programs running on CICS, your users can view their data in PDF format.
