Sending E-mails from an Automation Object - Part 2

In Part 1 I discussed a script that allows your Galaxy to send e-mails through an SMTP server. The e-mail, while short and simple, was all contained within a single Execute script. This means that every single class used by the script is instantiated and initialized every time the script runs. Also, all the information that the script uses was hardcoded within the script itself.

Let's take advantage of the different execution types, UDAs, and the Declarations section to reshape the script into a better, optimized, and well-structured object. Details after the break.

Sending E-mails from an Automation Object - Part 1

Once in a while I hear people asking how to send e-mails from Application Server. As long as you have access, or rather your Galaxy has access to an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server, you can configure an object to perform this task using the System.Net.Mail namespace of the Microsoft .NET Framework.

After the break, I'll walk you through a basic script that will send e-mails though Gmail SMTP server. Later, in Part 2, I will describe a better, optimized version of the object and script.

An Overview of the Deployment Model in Application Server

In previous posts I provided an overview of the objects you get out of the box when you create a new Galaxy in Application Server. When discussing the System Objects I (very) briefly mentioned two important configurations of a Galaxy: the Plant Model and the Deployment Model.

Today I want to talk a little bit about the Deployment Model.

NEW! Historian Server 2012 R2 BETA Class

The Historian Server class has been redesigned into two separate classes targeting different solutions: System Platform solutions and tag-based InTouch applications.

The Historian Server 2012 R2 for System Platform Applications BETA class has been scheduled for Aug 19-20, 2013 at our facility in Lake Forest, California.

The new training materials and lab instructions for this course will be validated during this beta course. Your input is greatly appreciated.
