Outbound Communications Manager Methods
This section describes the methods and method arguments of the business service Outbound Communications Manager.
For more information about the Siebel application features for creating and submitting communication requests, see Defining Outbound Communication Requests.
This section primarily uses the display names for each method (Method Display Name). The internal names, which should be used in any scripts that invoke these methods, are also shown (Method Name).
All the methods use profiles for a communications driver such as Internet SMTP/POP3 Server.
Table 121 lists the methods for the Outbound Communications Manager business service.
