At a Glance
HP BRW-Desk/XL is a product you purchase separately from HP BRW/XL. You
use HP BRW-Desk/XL to send reports through HP DeskManager or through HP
DeskManagerPlus.
NOTE In this manual, HPDesk is a short term for either HP DeskManager or
HP DeskManagerPlus.
HP DeskManager This is the original HP Desk product. It has
simple messaging capability for small to medium
electronic mail users. Add-on products such as
DeskIntrinsics, DeskMON, and Schedule may have been
purchased separately if you already own this
original product.
HP DeskManagerPlus This new version includes intrinsics, DeskMON, and
Schedule. You don't have to purchase any extra
products. With HP DeskManagerPlus and HP
BRW-Desk/XL, you can use HP BRW/XL to send reports
through HP Desk. (See the "Requirements" section
in this chapter for more details.)
When you run a report, HP ALLBASE/BRW creates message files from the
reports or output files and sends them to HPDesk. HPDesk then sends the
messages to the specified addressees. With HP BRW-Desk/XL, you can:
* Deliver whole reports and/or output files via HPDesk (and
ADVANCEMAIL).
You can send reports and output files to between 1 and 200 HPDesk
addresses. (200 is the HPDesk limit). You can either specify the
addresses explicitly on the Define HPDesk Delivery screen, or use
an item from a database or file; or calculate the item from within
HP ALLBASE/BRW. HP ALLBASE/BRW will take the value of the address
from the item on the last detail of the report.
* Send reports or output files to fixed HPDesk destinations;
destinations stored in a database or file; or calculated
destinations.
* Split reports and/or output files into separate files at specific
break levels.
* The recipient can read the HP ALLBASE/BRW report in his or her In
Tray.
This chapter covers:
* requirements
* identify senders
* outline of steps
* define HPDesk delivery for the report
* request the report
* security
