Xerox 5 - Manual (Page 91)

VI PDF Originator User’s Guide
FreeFlow Variable Information Suite 5.0 (7/2006) VIPO-91
Start up VIPO Dispatch to build a Dispatch Rule that will handle the job.
Begin editing a new rule by selecting Edit>Distpatch Rules from the top menu.
Edit one of the sample rules by selecting it in the Rule Filename drop-down box.
The contents of the “mailtext” field for each record needs to be placed into a temporary
file so that mymailprog can read it, therefore, double-click on the DataFileTemplate line
and add a new entry:
Field Name: mailtext
Destination File Path: c:\temp\temp.txt
Delete-On-Exit Setting: True
then choose OK twice.
Next, format the invocation of mymailprog by double-clicking on the CommandTemplate
entry of the Dispatch Rule. Enter the following for the CommandTemplate:
c:\mymailprog.bat c:\temp\temp.txt -t "$mailto" -cc "$cc" -s "$subject"
-a $(PDF_FILE_PATH)
In the entry shown above, the first parameter is the path of the program that will be
handling the record information. This “back-end” program is not supplied by Xerox; it
could be an off-the-shelf program or an application developed by the customer or a third
party.
The other parameters are those required by the (fictitious) mymailprog, as follows:
c:\temp\temp.txt
the path where the e-mail body for each e-mail record is written.
-t
a flag indicating that the next entry is the recipient's e-mail address.
"$mailto"
indicates that the “mailto” field of the record will be placed here.
