Doc2Mail

The architecture of Doc2Mail comprises several key components designed for efficient report distribution on z/OS. The main components include the Report Processing Engine, the Email Delivery Module, and the Configuration Manager. The Report Processing Engine receives reports, formats them, and prepares them for email delivery.

The Email Delivery Module uses SMTP to send the reports to the specified recipients. The Configuration Manager handles all system settings, including SMTP server details, recipient lists, and report formatting options. These components communicate through internal interfaces, with the Report Processing Engine passing formatted reports to the Email Delivery Module.

The system does not use a database for report storage; reports are processed and delivered. Network requirements include access to an SMTP server for email delivery. The administrative interface is primarily through JCL and configuration files.

User management is handled through the configuration settings, where recipient lists are defined. Configuration parameters include SMTP server details, sender information, and email templates. Monitoring and logging capabilities are available to track report distribution status and troubleshoot issues.

Compared to manual report distribution, Doc2Mail offers significant improvements in efficiency and automation. Competitors include custom-built solutions and other report distribution tools, but Doc2Mail differentiates itself through its seamless integration with EOS 360 and RSD Folders and its focus on z/OS environments.
