  • 1.  mailx help

    Posted Sep 26, 2019 06:13 PM
    Hi all you Atomic gurus, I'm in need of some assistance.  I wrote a script for my endusers - now I need to mailx the output to the requestor - I think its an Automic prompt('&&requestor').  Can anyone give me the syntax for the mailx statement?

    Any assistance will be appreciated,

    Dear Sandy,

    if you use an email call object, you can put in the process sheet:
    :set &userid# = SYS_USER_NAME
    :set &dep# = SYS_USER_DEP
    :ADD_ATT RECIPIENT, '&userid#/&dep#'
    Then an email will be sent to the user that called the object. Maybe you could use the send_mail script function as well, but I am not sure if you can use the username instead of the email address.
    I didn't find a function that gives you the email address of the user. If there isn't any function, there must be a way to select it from the database. But I haven't had a look into that yet. An easy solution to retrieve an email address would be to store the email address of the user in a VARA. You just need to manage the entries in the VARA.

    Thanks so much for your prompt reply; I'm going to have to take this back to the documents and figure out what it means - I'm very new to Automic - I've built a couple jobs that had output that was spooled and sent to a hard-coded email address with mailx statement within the script.  Thank you for pointing me in a likely direction.
