Description

Enter the mail merge file location in the JDE.ini file.

To generate mail merge documents, set this setting in the jde.ini file:

[MAILMEGE] File Location=C:\WINNT\TEMP

After you add this setting to the jde.ini file, you must restart JD Edwards EnterpriseOne services to generate mail merge documents.

Create a folder called MailMerge under the webclient.war directory.

To view generated PDF documents, you must create this folder within the JAS server instance. For example:

x:\WebSphere\AppServer\installedApps\⇒
[machine_name]\EA_JS_[99]_[machine_⇒
name].ear\⇒
webclient.war\MailMerge

Specify the location of the mail merge folder in the jas.ini file.

After you create the MailMerge folder, you must specify the location of the folder in the jas.ini folder using this setting:

 [MAIL MERGE AND DOC GEN] MailMerge⇒
Location= x:\⇒
WebSphere\AppServer\installedApps\⇒
[machine_name]\⇒
EA_JS_[99]_[machine_name].ear⇒
\webclient.war\⇒
