The SESAM/SQL system administrator can also have important information of the DBH session transferred automatically by email.
Detailed information on the structure of the MAIL parameter file and on email output of the DBH (DBH options, administration statements and commands) is provided in the “Database Operation” manual
Prerequisites for email output of the DBH
The mail service of the software product interNet Services must be available.
The email is actually sent by the DBH with the mail transmitter (SEND-MAIL interface) of the software product interNet Services.
MAIL parameter file
The MAIL parameter file is a BS2000 SAM file which the user creates and assigns to the DBH via the link name SESMAIL at startup, see section “MAIL parameter file”.
In the MAIL parameter file you enter the recipient(s), the sender, and relevant message numbers for email outputs of the DBH.
Without the MAIL parameter file you can (initially) not use the email output of the DBH.
The MAIL parameter file can be modified while the DBH session is active. However, the (modified) parameters become effective only when the administration statement MODIFY-MAIL-PARAMETERS is entered. The administration statement SHOW-MAIL-PARAMETERS enables you to display the current MAIL parameters.
Options and statements for controlling email output of the DBH
You set the scope of the DBH’s email output with the DBH options MSG-OUTPUT and SERVICE-TASKS. The administration statements MODIFY-MSG-OUTPUT and MODIFY-SERVICE-TASKS or the administration commands OPT,MSG-OUTPUT and OPT,SVT allow you to modify the scope of the DBH’s email output while the DBH session is active.
With the MODIFY-OUTPUT-MODE statement you can define additional output by email as the output destination for all the following administration statements.
