Title: Archiving Emails in OnDemand
Post by: BHUMENY on April 26, 2016, 08:01:07 AM

We would like to archive emails sent from the iSeries into OnDemand.
Does anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks.
Bill

There isn't an automatic indexer for eMails (getting ACIF to work would be painful) but if you can write something that produces a generic index format, you can load anything.  I'd still just store it as text.  Are there attachments to the eMail as well?  That might get really tricky.

Also, check out the Content Collector products -- I believe these were formerly the 'CommonStore' products.

For CMOD the Content Collector family don't archive email in CMOD anymore... the last one was commonstore V8.3/V8.4 which are deprecated...

At the moment, except doing a custom extract and storing them in CMOD, there are no product, at my knowledge which does it in a "standard" way for you...
*Sad*....

Damn, that's sad.  CMOD is the perfect place for eMails -- uses data compression, consolidates multiple eMails into a single object, could store attachments as resources...

Am I missing something?

At least from IBM, there are no product anymore for that... maybe we can push it back through Enhancement Request... And with ODUG influence maybe it might come back... maybe.
If other products (read: Not IBM product) do that... I am willing to know it... because I have no knowledge of such precious item!

Business partner 10m, located in Germany, has a product for archiving email into CMOD. The web page is in German, https://www.10m.de/odc.html, but you can use Google to translate if needed.  They are fluent in English and have done installations and services in many countries.

If you are not afraid to run OnDemand also on Intel, you could setup a second server on that and use full context indexing services to index the archive on AS400.

Can you give us a little more information on that?  I'm not sure if you mean a second AS400, and run full text indexing on Intel, or build an Intel-based CMOD server and do the text indexing on AS400.  I'm not sure what benefit you're suggesting comes from mixing the two platforms.

Thanks!
