Distribute IBM i output through a controlled workflow
Esend is listed for distributing IBM i information through email and FTP-related workflows. Define the source output, destination, format and business deadline before designing automated distribution. Successful transmission should not be confused with proof that the recipient was authorised or that the content was the correct version.
Inventory reports or files, recipient ownership and the supported transfer methods required. Confirm the current Esend configuration and relevant platform compatibility. Review how sensitive fields and attachments are handled, including whether a different secure transfer method is required by the customer’s information policy.
Validate recipients and failure handling
A pilot should compare output with the approved source and demonstrate delivery to a test recipient. Include an invalid address, an unavailable destination and a repeated-run scenario where relevant. Decide how operators identify failure and whether retrying risks duplicate business actions.
Handover should include the distribution register, recipient-change approvals, schedule and recovery procedure. For UAE organisations sending across entities or countries, have the information owner approve the destination and handling. MMC can scope selected delivery jobs and administrator training; business recipient decisions and ongoing dispatch operation remain separately assigned responsibilities.
Evidence to request for this scope
- Confirm current supported protocols and the required destination-security arrangement.
- Reconcile a delivered test output with the authorised source and recipient list.
- Test notification and recovery for failed or duplicate delivery conditions.
