Issue/Introduction

Using xit7mail and can't tell if the the emails are being sent or received.  What can be done to look and determine where the problem is (Endevor or SMTP) and how does Endevor send this information to SMTP?

 

Environment

Release: 18.0 
Component: ENDBAS

Resolution

There are two parts to this question.  The easiest way to determine who is having the problem sending or receiving emails using SMTP would be to run a  foreground or batch job that has the trace - EN$TRNTF.  Set up an allocate DD to your foreground session as follows:

ALLOC DD (EN$TRNTF) DA (MY.SMP.TRACE.DATSET) MOD

Make sure that the dcb setting are set as:

RECFM (FBA)

LRECL (133)

BLKSIZE (MULTIPLE OF 133)

To stop the trace:

FREE DD (EN$TRNTF)

This is an example of what the trace looks like:

If the trace contains information, it means that we have sent the data to SMTP.
If the trace does not have any information, then it is a Endevor problem.

 

The other part of the question is how does Endevor do the notify SMTP?

Endevor writes the notify out to a SYSOUT file with SMTP as the reader - then allocate it dynamically

//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(B,SMTP),FREE=CLOSE (the ouput dd writing to SMTP)
