You didn't post your message in a product-specific forum, and didn't specify what product you are asking about. I assume you're referring to adTempus, so I moved your message to the correct forum.

At this time there is not a way to send a single copy of the message to all recipients instead of a separate copy to each. A few other people have requested this feature, though, and it's on the enhancement list, probably for the next release.

Is there a way for when an email is sent all recipients are listed on one email rather than one email going out at a time?  Is there a setting that can be adjusted?

Posted: 04 November 2008 at 8:49am

Back in 2004 we put out a standalone mail reading utility called admailpoll that could be used in conjunction with adTempus to do mail-based conditional processing. It downloads messages from a mailbox, filters for various criteria, and sets an exit code used by adTempus to control conditional job flow.

We're now working on integrating mail-based processing directly into adTempus, and are seeking feedback from users are using or would like to use this functionality.

If you're currently using admailpoll, please let us know how you're using it. If you're not, let us know what kind of mail-based processing you'd like in adTempus.

You can post here, send a private message, or use the feedback form.

Database schema documentation is available for adTempus 2.1 and adTempus 3.0.

This is bare-bones documentation; you will need to look at the API docs as well for descriptions of tables (objects) and columns (properties).

The API is the preferred way for developers to interact with adTempus. Direct database updates are not supported.

Is there any doc on the structure of the SQL database? I assume if I want to programmatically search for jobs based on certain values, that I'd need to know what the database structure is. But I can't seem to find detailed info on it.

Maybe that's unnecessary, or the assumption is we'd use some other tool (like adtDbUtil.exe) to look at the structure ourself instead of relying on doc?

The example I linked to earlier from the 3.0 documentation shows an example of using IObjectRequestFilter. But when I said earlier that it would be tough to do in VBScript I should have said "if you can do it in VBScript I don't know how." I don't think VBScript allows you to create classes that implement interfaces, though I haven't worked with newer versions of the language.

You are better off using the example from the 2.0 documentation. If it's not working as written, replace "ClassIDEnum.CID_Job" with the numeric value 1.

Would you be willing to provide an example using IObjectRequestFilter? Maybe that's all I need to get me started...

The CID argument to that method is a ClassIDEnum value, which is essentially a constant. If you add a reference to the adTempus type library to your ASP page, this should cause the constants to be defined:
<!-- METADATA TYPE="typelib" FILE="c:\program files\arcana development\adtempus\adtempus.dll"-->

If you get an error back from the method saying that you're requesting an invalid class, that means the script isn't picking up the type library properly and the constant isn't defined. If you can't get the type library import to work you can use the integer value instead of the enumeration. The numeric values are given in the ClassIDEnum help topic. For example, use 1 for CID_Job.

The API did have some "breaking" changes between 2.x and 3.0 (documented here). But for the basic stuff you are (presumably) doing, the changes to move to 3.0 should be minimal.

How portable is code written for 2.0 after an upgrade to 3.0?]]> Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:55:35 +0000 http://www.arcanadev.com/forums/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=97&PID=262#262 API : adTempus 2.0 API - ASP http://www.arcanadev.com/forums/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=97&PID=261#261 Author: slick50

Your question of why we are moving to 2.1 instead of 3.0 is a good and legitimate one. The answer is related to accounting - not for technical reasons.
 
I have been using the example in the 2.0 API doc you referenced. But when I try and translate that example into something else, I run into the stumbling block of not being able to decipher the API documentation. For example, I can see that GetObjectsForClass is a method, which takes ClassIDEnum.CID_Job as an argument. But I can't get my arms around, even after reading the doc, is what the structure of that argument is, or how I build or pass different arguments. This is obviously a limitation of my programming knowledge, which also limits my ability to understand what it really means to be "build with ASP.NET" versus "classic ASP". To me, ASP is just vbscript embedded in HTML. And I understand vbscript, so classic ASP wasn't that difficult. But I don't know how that compares with ASP.NET.
 
I'm just really looking for more examples at this point, and hopefully your references will help. Thanks for your response.
