Hi All,
Can anyone please help me to do a script in such a way that an email could be triggered from DXL editor via DXL scripting.
Consider the following scenario:
1.It should be able to trigger a mail from my account to some recipients.
Is this possible.Please help me out?
Thanks & Regards,
Shriraam

Look in the DXL reference manual, you will find sendEMailMessage described.

sendEMailMessage() requires your DOORS service to be attached to your email service; this is not trivial.
Here are my incomplete and possibly slightly incorrect notes on doing that:
Feedback submitted for tech note:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21324459&myns=swgrat&mynp=OCSSYQBZ&mync=E
The following info is true, as best as I can tell, and if so should be included:
o The 'SMTP Server' may also be known as the 'Relay server' on many systems.
o Emails are sent to the DOORS user specified on the Login Policy tab of the DB properties sheet,
under 'Notify failed logins by email to:' field at at the bottom.
That DOORS user must have a valid Email specified.
o The 'mail account' on the General tab has an unknown use and can be blank.
You folks should prove this to yourselves and then clarify exactly what that is for.
o Emails are sent from a 'DOORS Mail Server' account.
Sorry for my ignorance, but I believe that is just generic and cannot receive emails.
I suspect perhaps that the 'Mail Account' field on the General tab is supposed to be the
Sender of these emails ('from' and 'reply to'), but is not.
o Contrary to documentation, Emails are sent from the client machine (not the DOORS server),
so port 25 must be open in the fire wall for each client attempting to use DOORS;
and must not be used for other purposes.
If the database is not setup for Emailing and you have Outlook installed, you can send an email through Outlook as per one of these links:

This technote says how:

The notes are wrong, the email is sent from your client not the DOORS server.
If the database is not setup for Emailing and you have Outlook installed (and running) on your client, you can send an email through Outlook as per one of these links:

I assume, that you can do both. You can send form the server and from the client. In our firm we have two doors servers, one for productive use an the other for tests only. And the same code will send a mail if it is performed on the productive server and will not on the test server. And in both situations it is the same client.

It is as trivial as a set up of a normal e-mail-client or better a half client (SMTP only). If you can install outlook or thunderbird you can setup doors.
> This technote says how:
Exact. Normally you do not get much more stuff to install a client.

In your case I suspect your test DOORS service is not setup for Email.
Well, "trivial" perhaps if you know what you are doing; it took us about 3 weeks to setup our DOORS to allow emailing. In fact, that technote includes much of our "lessons learned".

Hi Louie,
You're perfect! It worked amazingly. I could send mails from my client server.
Can you please let me know how to add CC to the list.
The following lines of the code are:
string CCField = "ABCD@XYZ.com"
string SentFrom = "ABC@XYZ.com"
bool SendIt = confirm("Confirm to Send; Cancel to Display")
fEmail_Outlook_CreateMail(SendIt, ToField, "", "", CCField, "","", SentFrom , "test", "") //Line number 60
I am getting an error in calling the function create mail.
Line 60: False arguments for the function 'fEmail_Outlook_CreateMail'

-
bool fEmail_Outlook_CreateMail(bool in_AutoSend, string in_SendTo, in_SendCC, in_SendBCC, in_SentFrom, in_Subject, in_Body)
In your function call I see 1 boolean and 9 string parameters.
-
fEmail_Outlook_CreateMail(SendIt, ToField, "", "", CCField, "","", SentFrom , "test", "") //Line number 60
I think you want this:
