Dear all,

we have installed PA version 2.1.6 and we are interested is there any PA core functionality for sending e-mails?

We need an option for sending predefined e-mails (e.g. via TI processes) to end users when they start some button (e.g. planning cycle is initiated by admin user), e-mail with error description or e-mail that notify users when some data changed in cube with new data load. For this purpose, at this moment we are using TI processes that start .vbs script for e-mail sending but customer do not want this outdated vbs script in their architecture landscape in the future so we investigate all alternative options. Vbs script is provided to us by IBM about 10 years ago :)

Thank you in advance.

HI Ivana,

Everyone I know writes their own TI process to handle emailing as everyone wants something slightly different.

Ultimately you just need a PowerShell script with something like this written to the script (I build the .ps1 script in TI then execute it):

#--Create Send-Mail entrysCommand='Send-MailMessage -SmtpServer ''<mailserver'' -UseSsl -Port 587 -From ''' | sFrom | ''' -Encoding ([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8) -To '|sRecipients|' -Subject "'|sSubject|'" ';

If you do some searching on Send-MailMessage you will find a lot more and sample scripts to explain things a bit better.
Aside from that, I am assuming you have an SMTP server already configured etc. for the old VBS script and you would need to point to that.

Hope that helps you to get started...

Hi Ivana,

If you're open to paid solutions, SPACE provides built-in functionality for sending emails directly from TI processes, supporting richly formatted emails and file attachments, eliminating the need for custom scripting.

Additionally, SPACE jobs allow you to schedule TI processes and Python scripts with a flexible cron format and include built-in email notifications.

Finally, if you transition to TM1 V12 in the future, you will only need to modify a single SPACE process.

Let me know if you'd like more details!
