Data can be sent directly to users or sent to other platforms for archival.<\/p>\r\n<p>A primary advantage of using eSendIT to send data is verification of delivery.&nbsp;A simple-to-use CICS transaction can be used to determine which (if any) messages\/reports weren't delivered correctly. The same interface can be used to re-send any failed report to the same or a different destination.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>eSendIT<\/strong>&nbsp;provides automatic, unattended distribution of CICS and batch reports. Messages and 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.<span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:\" times=\"\" new=\"\" roman\"\"=\"\"><strong><br>\r\n<\/strong><\/span><strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>Data Sources for eSendIT include:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n <li>Application programs for data such as calendar requests, Email, or other sources<\/li>\r\n <li>CICS reports currently sent to CICS printers<\/li>\r\n <li>CICS application screens as they are displayed<\/li>\r\n <li>JES or POWER batch reports<a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a>.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p><strong>Destinations accessible to eSendIT users include:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\r\n <li>Email addresses<\/li>\r\n <li>Lotus Notes or Outlook calendar<\/li>\r\n <li>Fax machines<\/li>\r\n <li>FTP servers*<\/li>\r\n <li>A networked folder* (accessible to the CICS\/Fax server)<br>\r\n <br>\r\n (*-with CICS\/Fax or HostFax fax servers)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>Data formats include:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n <li>Searchable PDF files<\/li>\r\n <li>TXT files<\/li>\r\n <li>RFT files<\/li>\r\n <li>Fine or Standard resolution faxes*<\/li>\r\n <li>TIFF format graphic files*<\/li>\r\n <li>Many other programmable formats, including HTML and ICS (Calendar requests)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","summary":null,"featured":0,"status":1,"passwords":1,"extended_info":"0","deleted_at":null,"created_at":"2017-11-14T23:21:24.000000Z","updated_at":"2022-02-22T17:28:32.000000Z","sorted_releases":[{"id":1029,"parent_id":null,"product_id":8,"release":"4.7","notes":"<p><\/p><p>Enhancements:<\/p>\r\n<ul><li>This release begins usage for the MacKinney License Keys software to manage license keys.
