Reports do not have to be physically shipped to email inboxes. Instead, a Web link URL to a report can be included in an email message. When the link is clicked the report will automatically be viewed through the CA Spool Web Interface. The user has to provide a valid userid and password if the report is being viewed for the first time.
If you are using CA Spool's AFP-to-PDF transformer and you have specified that AFP files must be viewed as PDF files, when you click the link the file will be automatically converted to PDF and Acrobat Reader will be launched in a new Web Browser Window.
To specify that AFP files must be viewed as PDF documents, update $esfweb.ini parameter ESF_A2PD to 1, 2 or 3. The $esfweb.ini file can be found in the USS directory specified in your SMP/E proc and must be accessible by the Web Server.
Customization of the A2PDPARM dataset is also necessary. You must update the FdOutput parameter to contain the name of the swap directory used by the CA Spool Web Interface:
FdOutput='/cai/caspool/swap'
An email containing a Web Link to a CA Spool file automatically expires when the file retention expires in CA Spool.
