Requirements for Submitting a Flat File Document via an E-mail Message
Getting Results from an E-mailed Document
You can send a flat file document as an attachment to an e–mail message to an e–mail mailbox and have the Integration Server automatically retrieve the e–mail message and process the flat file it contains. To do this, your Integration Server must be configured with an e–mail port that monitors the mailbox to which the flat file will be sent. (Consult your Integration Server administrator to see whether an e-mail port has been set up on your Integration Server.)
When a flat file arrives in the e–mail port’s mailbox, the Integration Server automatically retrieves the message and passes that document as an InputStream to the service specified on the e–mail’s subject line (or, if a service is not specified on the subject line, the e–mail port’s default service).
