EmailPlus package
The Rational® ClearQuest® EmailPlus package provides enhanced email notification functions. EmailPlus includes the following support:
- Customizing the content of the message subject and body with boilerplate text
- Including dynamic content in emails in addition to field old or new values
- Including rich content (HTML)
- Providing access to SMTP restricted servers
- Attaching files to email
- Allowing enhanced conditions to construct the rules
- Allowing the self-subscription of users to rule or record notifications
- Enabling enterprise-wide configuration of email notifications, which can be enabled or disabled by users
- Providing performance improvements through queries
- Extending the rules and data displayed through customer-provided extensions
- Login to Rational ClearQuest Designer and add EmailPlus package to schema.
- Edit the global Perl Script EMP_Customisable and add to the start of the code:
$MAX_FIELDPATH_RECURSE_DEPTH = 2;; $FIELDPATH_INCLUDE_STRINGS = 1;; - Configure EmailPlus to use SMTP Direct5 and create Email Rule that sends an email through the descriptionfield.
If you enter one (1) userid the EmailPlus works. If you enter, a newline or comma, the EmailPlus does not send the email.
Although the package is implemented in Perl, it can be used to enable VBScript-based schemas because packages have their own scripting language defined.
The package can be added to any Rational ClearQuest schema. You can deploy the package in mixed environments to Rational ClearQuest Web or to Rational ClearQuest clients that run on Microsoft Windows, UNIX, or Linux.
The possibility of name conflicts are minimized by prefixing routine names with EMP_ and by prefixing session name values with EMP::. Avoid using names like these to ensure that the package can coexist with other packages in your schema.
