Configure email polling types

System administrators or customizers configure email polling types and can customize the actions performed by a type. The types are referenced by email polling rules. Prerequisites Teamcenter is installed and configured to work correctly. BMIDE is installed and is working property. The system administrator or customizer performing the configuration: has sufficient privileges (dba) to create and install templates or make changes to the Teamcenter database. has write access to all Teamcenter installation folders. If scheduled polling using Teamcenter Dispatcher is to be used, when installing or updating Dispatcher, in the Select Translators panel, Email Polling→Email Polling is selected. Configuration steps Procedure In BMIDE, for the e-mail polling type that you want to configure: Create or open a template project. In the classic LOV list Fnd0EmailResponseTypes, create a list value to identify the polling type that you want to define. Only the value parameter of the list value is used for polling; its description and condition parameters are not used. If in your application you want to persist more data than just e-mail body text and attachments, or to impart additional behavior, then create a subtype of the object Fnd0EmailResponseRecord. Add your custom actions to your new object subtype. Save and deploy the template. In the rich client: Log on using an account with dba privileges. Choose Edit→Options. Find the preference Email_polling_download_dir, and set the preference value to the desired location for downloaded attachments in the server's file system. This location is used by all email polling types. The specified location must exist in the server's file system; the polling functionality does not create the folder. For each value that you added to the classic LOV list Fnd0EmailResponseTypes, do the following: Create a new preference named _Response_Record_Object. Set the preference value to Fnd0EmailResponseRecord or, if you created a subtype of the object Fnd0EmailResponseRecord and you want to associate the LOV value with that object subtype, set the preference value to the name of the object subtype.
