Hi,

In a Datastage PX job, Is it possible to have a mailbox in source and read mail ?
If not, may a buildOp development could do this task ?

And if is really not possible in Datastage PX, is there another Ascential software that can make this task (like perhaps the EAI datastage TX) ?

thanks,
bart.

You can use an external source to do this. First you need to figure out what the UNIX or Windows command will be that reads the mailbox. What mail system do you intend to read?

It's a lotus mailbox

You mean Notes? Ugh. Is there a command line interface for that?

no easy command line, but the good news is that there is ODBC connectivity to Lotus Notes!

I mentioned ODBC in my post, check that out with Lotus Notes.

Yes, you are correct and that is what we are talking about.
