We're having a terrible time trying to get requisitions with e-mail notification working. We tried for several months with the QAD-Recommended WMAILTO routine but it would often not send the message and never generate an error when it failed.
I decided to write my own mail application but QAD is not forthcoming in how their e-mail functionality works....all they would say is that they do not support WMAILTO or self written programs. They would not even explain how their code works.
I finally got my application working every time from the "E-Mail definition Maintenance Screen," which generates an "EML" file in the QAD Startup folder.
But when we test from the requisition screen, it appears that instead of an EML file, a file with the extension of REQ is generated then erased so quickly my application cannot grab it to send it. I have a feeling this is the same problem wmailto has....the QAD process does not stop long enough for the mailing program to grab the message before it's erased....it just gets the e-mail addresses and the name of the text file.
Does anyone have a good experience with this feature? How did you resolve the problem? I understand this company tried this 3-4 years ago but gave up. This is now a high-priority by management.
