We would like the server to generate emails rather than the desktop.

Is this possible?

Hello Robert,

  1. take Roland/Bruce's code at http://www.topwizprogramming.com/pbnismtp.html
  2. wrap it into a PB NVO and compile as a PB .NET Assembly target
  3. deploy (copy) the generated Assembly to PowerServer Web for .NET (IIS)
  4. call the Assembly using the AppeonDotNetComponent object included into appeon_workaround.pbl

Alternatively, you can skip 1) and 2) and take one among the few freeware C# example codes demonstrating how to send email using SMTP, compile the code (from Visual Studio) into a managed .NET Assembly and do 3) and 4).

Cheers,

Marco

Good progress so far.

 

I downloaded the .pbx file and Pb example from http://www.topwizprogramming.com/pbnismtp.html

This all works in my desktop PB app but I'm missing something deploying the app using AppeonWeb.

What is required to deploy and use the .pbx file in the server environment?

I'm not a visualStudio user so I'm hoping to skip anything that requires VS.

Hi Macro,

https://support.appeon.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/128/0/sending-smtp-emails-from-powerbuilder-applications

 

I tried to download emailsmtp.zip (71.40 KB), but download with zero byte.

 

Regards

Antony

Hi Anthony;

Yes, I get the same download result - Zero bytes.

I would suggest trying Roland's PB code.

Regards ... Chris

I suspect that PBNI isn't supported by the web deployment. Try this one:

mapi is client side - it uses an email client.



you need to change to calling a rest service to send the email.

With MAPI your code communicates with the mail client, Outlook for example. With SMTP your code communicates with the mail server so can be done from the web. I removed the EmailSMTP example from my website. I have a different one you can use: https://www.topwizprogramming.com/pbnismtp.html.

I don't know if my question was clear enough. I'm using Powerserver 2020.

For what I understand is that for MAPI, the mail client on the pc with the browser/IWA is used (and not a mail client next to the powerserver installation on IIS). We can't ask to our customers to install a mail client...



@RolandSmith "With SMTP your code communicates with the mail server ...". Do you know if the SMTP code is executed in the browser/IWA or on the powerserver(on our server)? What I read from the manuals, is that external dll's are used from the pc with the browser/IWA, so it's also the internet provider of the customer that is used to connect with the smtp server, or am I wrong?

Sorry Roland, did not see your comment of this next link having a very old version, so edited my message which said I was able to download the one from knowledgebase
