E-business is changing the face of business communications
Traditional information methodology has been "print and
distribute"
Networks, Internet, and electronic documents are transforming
this methodology
Electronic documents mean:
Tie to pre-printed form is broken
Flexibility in content
Flexibility in delivery
Networks and Internet drives e-business process re-engineering
Printing, if required, must take place later in the flow
Electronic documents and reports can flow as the process
requires
The output of e-business - "E-output"
Ability to create fully electronic pages of information and deliver
them to the desired destination in the desired format
Enabling "e-output"

1. Publish to the Web
Scenario - monthly
reports sent out to
departments in hard copy
Customer would prefer
these went on the
company Intranet (or
Internet)
Publish to the Web - solution
1. An OS/400 application creates the data and puts it on
the spool.
2. Use the IPDS to PDF conversion function to store the
data in the iSeries IFS.
3. Access the data from a web application or using
Client Access.

The same
object can be
build using the
CRTPSFCFG
or
CHGPSFCFG
commands.
PDF transform enables:
Re-engineering of output distribution
Soft copy repositories for "demand pull" information
dissemination
Printing directly to PDF-capable printers
Integrate with custom e-mail applications
PDF files in ASCII, full text format
Full text output

Target Directory and File Name
If you specify a Root File System directory name, the file will be
stored as:
/PDF-directory-name/job-name/job-user-name+
/job-number_file-number_spooled-file-name_date_sequence-number.PDF
In this example the target was specified as '/reports'
COMMON 410168 47AE Infoprint Server Denver.PRZ
13-14 10/11/02
Target Directory and File Name
If you specify a directory name in the QDLS System, the file will
be stored as:
/QDLS/folder-name/job-name/job-number/job-user-name/file-number+
/spooled-file-name/date/sequence-number.PDF
In this example the target was specified as '/QDLS/EMAILS'
More on Target Stream Files
If you select "Generate multiple PDF files" the separate
files will have sequence number 00001.PDF,
00002.PDF etc.
File(s) will be generated as owned by the spooled file
owner with public authority of *EXCLUDE
Any directories that do not already exist are created by
the PDF subsystem, are owned by QSPLJOB, and
have a public authority of *RX

2. Electronic Report Distribution
Scenario - monthly sales
reports are printed,
manually separated and
mailed to regional office
managers
Customer would like to
automatically distribute
and send the relevant
reports to specific
managers
1. Use DDS keywords to insert Group tags in *AFPDS
spooled file.
2. Original spooled file converted to multiple PDF files
3. User exit program converts department name to e-mail
address.
4. Each PDF file sent to appropriate regional office as
e-mail attachment
V5R1 uses SNDDST
V5R2 you can use SNDDST or any SMTP server.
Electronic Report Distribution - solution
(Other methods of segmenting and addressing
the file will be discussed later.)
