Data Driven Email

If you select the Data Driven Delivery option for report definition output, you can direct output to address book numbers contained in the XML field (such as AddressNumber_ID1) that you enter in the Data Driven Recipient grid on the Bursting and Delivery form. Additionally, if you specify a burst field, many different reports can be created from one report definition submission.

A report definition can burst on any level break section defined within the batch or report version that is used as its source of data. Typically, when you burst a report, you break on a level break header section. You enter the complete XPath of the tag that defines the level break section (as it appears in the XML data output) in the Burst Field on the Bursting and Delivery form.

The level break section can contain an email recipient in one of the following formats:

  • An address book number for an individual or a distribution list.

  • An SMTP email address.

  • An SMTP distribution list.

Data driven email delivery requires that email addresses be set up correctly in the Address Book application (P01012).

For external email, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides an integrated mail system that is able to send messages to external email addresses. The system uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to do this. SMTP is a TCP/IP protocol for sending messages from one computer to another on a network. SMTP is used on the internet to route messages.

In addition to having address book email addresses, data driven email delivery to external email addresses requires changes to the JDEMAIL section of the JDE.ini file, so that JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can communicate with the mail server.
