Outlook reminder/Invite from SAS

Postby krishnaraj6eee » Tue Mar 27, 2018 6:13 pm

Is it possible to send an outlook reminder or an invite through SAS in mainframe?

Thanks,
Krishna

Look at the Outlook API -- it will tell you whether or not what you want to do can be done, and how to do it if it is possible. Also note that the data will have to be transferred from the mainframe to the Windows machine, so that may introduce an entirely different set of requirements.

Here is a way to create reminders and send them. But the method involves sending the reminder as an email .ics file

I don't think it would be possible to create a meeting and then send the invite using SAS, as it looks super complex - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... -snippet-1
