Event, Condition, Actions with Attachments and Calendar Events

ECAs have become a part of daily life at many Manage 2000 sites.

The Event/Condition/Action workflow tool is one of the tools within Manage 2000 which simplifies tailoring to your business.

You can configure Manage 2000 to monitor ERP events, apply conditions, and automatically respond with an action.  One possible action is to email pertinent information to the people involved. A powerful scripting engine provides control over the email document content.

With Manage 2000 release 8.1 you can now easily attach items from UniData files, and files from UNIX or Windows level directories.


You can also script a request to add in ICalendar attachments that the recipient can import into their calendar.


The new scripting options follow the established ECA scripting norms supporting keyword and ECA variable replacements. Attachments are added like any other options using /ATTACH.ITEM udtfilename itemid or /ATTACH.FILE osfilename. Calendar events are added using the new /CALL subroutine CREATE.CALENDAR.EVENT which includes properties for many of the ICalendar options defined in the RFC 5545 Internet standard.
