Hi,

If you don't want to use Alert Mechanism, I guess you could use a simple Send Step and route it via the Mail adapter. Define an Interface for the Mail and map the relevant data to it. But that way you loose the flexibility of the Alert Configuration.

Hi,

Roughly speaking, you define an Interface for the Mail Message. This could be very simple, e.g. 1 field for the Message Text and another one for some scenario related information.

In the Excpetion Block you can then define a Send Step. It depends on you what message you really sending out there, but in the Receiver Determination and Interface Determination for this message sent by you Integration Process, you need to determine a Receiver that represents the Mail Recipient and map to your Message Interface for the Mail message.

Finally the Receiver Service must have a Mail Communication Channel and you will need a Receiver Agreement for the Mail Message Interface that routes it to this Mail Communication Channel.

This will send the Message (in XML format - unless you do some Conversion) to the Mail Recipient defined in the Mail Communication Channel. If you need more flexible determination of the Mail Recipient, check the possible settings on the Mail Adapter for more information.

regards,

Peter
