About xcomntfy

XCOMNTFY uses one of the following programs to read the queue entry to determine the user id and password to send an email:

• xcommail to use the MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface)
• xcomsmtp to use the SMTP interface

Notification is done using the notify script, which is defined to CA XCOM Data Transport for UNIX and Linux with the parameter, XNOTIFYCMD$XCOM_HOME/cmd/xcomntfy, in the xcom.glb global file. $XCOM_HOME is an environment variable.

You need to set up the notify script to use xcommail or xcomsmtp. A sample notify script is distributed with CA XCOM Data Transport.
