Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce users on v7.0 who send marketing e-mail.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  The 'Sender' field on marketing e-mails can not be set by custom
  code.
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Customer has a requirement to set the Sender field in e-mail
  sent from the store to be a different e-mail address than the
  address set in the Administration Console.  That requirement
  cannot be met.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• A new method (setSender) was added to the class EmailJobKeeper.
  A customization can use this method to set the Sender e-mail
  address for marketing e-mail.
  
  The following is an example of the required customization:
  
  1) To set the Sender e-mail address when sending a marketing
  e-mail from a dialog activity when the "Send immediately"
  checkbox is selected:
  
  a) Create a custom class that extends the class
  EmailIndividualCreateCmdImpl. Implement the method
  sendEmailDirectly to set the sender e-mail address on the
  EmailJobKeeper object.
  
  package com.custom.marketing;
  import
  com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.commands.EmailIndividualCreateCmdImp
  l;
  import com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.engine.EmailJobKeeper;
  import com.ibm.commerce.exception.ECException;
  
  // insert into cmdreg (storeent_id, interfacename, classname)
  values (0,
  'com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.commands.EmailIndividualCreateCmd',
  'com.custom.marketing.ExtEmailIndividualCreateCmdImpl');
  
  public class ExtEmailIndividualCreateCmdImpl extends
  EmailIndividualCreateCmdImpl {
  
   protected void sendEmailDirectly(EmailJobKeeper mailJobKeeper)
  throws ECException {
    mailJobKeeper.setSender("sender@company.com");
    super.sendEmailDirectly(mailJobKeeper);
   }
  
  }
  
  b) Register the custom class in the CMDREG table.
  
   insert into cmdreg (storeent_id, interfacename, classname)
  values (0,
  'com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.commands.EmailIndividualCreateCmd',
  'com.custom.marketing.ExtEmailIndividualCreateCmdImpl');
  
  2) To set the Sender e-mail address when sending a marketing
  e-mail from a dialog activity when the "Send immediately"
  checkbox not is selected, or when sending a marketing e-mail
  from an e-mail activity:
  
  a) Create a custom class that extends the class
  SendEmailActivityTaskCmdImpl. Implement the method sendEmail to
  set the sender e-mail address on the EmailJobKeeper object.
  
  package com.custom.marketing;
  import
  com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.commands.SendEmailActivityTaskCmdImp
  l;
  import com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.engine.EmailJobKeeper;
  import com.ibm.commerce.exception.ECException;
  
  //insert into cmdreg (storeent_id, interfacename, classname)
  values (0,
  'com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.commands.SendEmailActivityTaskCmd',
  'com.custom.marketing.ExtSendEmailActivityTaskCmdImpl');
  
  public class ExtSendEmailActivityTaskCmdImpl extends
  SendEmailActivityTaskCmdImpl {
  
   protected void sendEmail(EmailJobKeeper mailJobKeeper) throws
  ECException {
    mailJobKeeper.setSender("sender@company.com");
    super.sendEmail(mailJobKeeper);
   }
  }
  
  b)  Create a custom class that extends the class
  ResendEmailActivityTaskCmdImpl. Implement the method sendEmail
  to set the sender e-mail address on the EmailJobKeeper object.
  
  package com.custom.marketing;
  import
  com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.commands.ResendEmailActivityTaskCmdI
  mpl;
  import com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.engine.EmailJobKeeper;
  import com.ibm.commerce.exception.ECException;
  
  //insert into cmdreg (storeent_id, interfacename, classname)
  values (0,
  'com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.commands.ResendEmailActivityTaskCmd
  ', 'com.custom.marketing.ExtResendEmailActivityTaskCmdImpl');
  
  public class ExtResendEmailActivityTaskCmdImpl extends
  ResendEmailActivityTaskCmdImpl {
  
   protected void sendEmail(EmailJobKeeper mailJobKeeper) throws
  ECException {
    mailJobKeeper.setSender("sender@company.com");
    super.sendEmail(mailJobKeeper);
   }
  
  }
  
  c) Register the custom classes in the CMDREG table.
  
  insert into cmdreg (storeent_id, interfacename, classname)
  values (0,
  'com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.commands.SendEmailActivityTaskCmd',
  'com.custom.marketing.ExtSendEmailActivityTaskCmdImpl');
  
  insert into cmdreg (storeent_id, interfacename, classname)
  values (0,
  'com.ibm.commerce.emarketing.commands.ResendEmailActivityTaskCmd
  ', 'com.custom.marketing.ExtResendEmailActivityTaskCmdImpl');
