many of our batch jobs take their input from data sent us Hello list, many of our batch jobs take their input from data sent us by means of e-mail attachments. Attachments are manually stored on PCs, uploaded to z/OS, then batch starts. This is obviously a manual and error prone process. Therefore I ve been asked to see if it's possible to setup z/OS in order to receive and handle e-mails and their attachments which will eventually feed our batch.
Having already SMTP for outbound e-mails, I started from it and, thanks to Steve Comstock's SMTP saga on ibm-main, I've been able to set it up to receive e-mails. But the TSO RECEIVE seems not to be able to handle attachments,unless I missed something. Before reading the many publication on this matter, I would like to ask what would you recommend for this goal. SMTP or sendmail ? Any other valid ISV alternatives ? Any pointer to publications/Redbooks which would help ? Your input is highly appreciated.
