AWMAIL - how to change body of email

[Tracy Minsterman]

I'm not quite sure how to use prompts in Application Manager to change the body of an email using the executable:  AWMAIL.  I tried adding a prompt for body_msg thinking that would override the default message in the script but it will not work.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  #AWMAIL

Hello,

 

Please go ahead and revert any changes to the AWMAIL script. If you want to override the default message for AW_EMAIL, you need to create a Message Template by the same name (AW_EMAIL). This is detailed in the documentation linked below

 

Administration Guide > Defining Output Devices > Emailing Output

Below is an excerpt from the Documentation detailing this particular topic:

Specifying Email Body Text with the AW_EMAIL Message Template

 

When output files are attached to an email, the task's run_id Replacement Value will be entered as the email body. To use custom text as the email body, create a Message Template named AW_EMAIL. You don't need to assign the AW_EMAIL Message Template to the Job. Message Templates can include Replacement Values and Subvars. A sample Message Template is shown below.

 

Hope this Helps!

 

Regards,
