Sending facsimiles
from Oracle
You can interface MESSAGEmanager
to Oracle Applications in a number of ways-
- Create an output fax
file (text or postscript) with embedded commands and
store in a "pickup"
directory. Text control files can specify image files
for overlay if the application is currently using
pre-printed stationery. Requires File Pick Up API.
- Submit any type of
attachment file (Word document, text, PostScript,
PCL etc.) to the Server using COM. Requires no additional
software.
- With Oracle Reports,
you can generate a print file with embedded fax commands
and print to a PostScript print queue on the FAX Server
(requires Network Printer Interface and API).
- Use the Jetform Output
Pak to extend the Oracle Reports capability and allow
easy printing and distribution to fax and email of
sophisticated, high-quality documents such as invoices,
purchase orders and shipping documents. Jetform submits
faxes to MESSAGEmanager via the Postscript Network
Printer Interface or the PostScript API directory.
Using the Jetform Output Pak for Oracle Applications
means the formatting is stored in the Jetform form
and not on the report, so that only the data elements
appear there. The Jetform Output Pak contains a variety
of field tagged reports and pre-designed form templates
that work "out-of-the-box" with Oracle applications.
These forms and reports can be implemented without
making changes to the Oracle application or its existing
reports. The Jetform reports are simplified versions
of the standard Oracle reports, which are added to
those already in the system. If a new form, not in
the Output Pak, needs to be created it is done so
easily with the Output Paks Form Builder. The
Form Builder will read an existing Oracle report and
produce both a new field tagged report and a matching
Jetform Design e-form template.
