Xerox 5 manual temp\temp.txt, 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.
