Error description
Data Manager sendmail function on Linux missing subject line.??When using the sendmail function on Redhat Linux we see the subject line in the body of the e-mail and not on the subject line. Although I cannot replicate this issue exactly (our testcase Redhat box doesn't send e-mail) I can use the mail or mailx command to verify the subject line is in the body of the e-mail.??Output from Putty:??Data Manager v8.4.102.18 -- ((C) Copyright IBM Corp. 2005, 2009.)?jobstream -- start run on vmcs-redhat53-64bit.cognos.com (08-Mar-2012 16:05:43)?[PROGRESS - 16:05:50] JobStream 'EMailTest'; starting?[PROGRESS - 16:05:50] Procedure Node 2 'EMail1'; executing (inline)?[PROGRESS - 16:05:50] Procedure Node 2 'EMail1'; succeeded?[PROGRESS - 16:05:50] Done - 0 00:00:07 elapsed?jobstream -- completed (08-Mar-2012 16:05:50)??Press Enter to continue?You have mail in /var/spool/mail/stuartk?bash-3.2$ mailx?Mail version 8.1 6/6/93.

Local fix
A workaround is possible (although warnings messages are generat ed) as follows: Create an executable shell script called "mailx" in the Data Manager bin directory. The contents of this script is a single line as follows : /bin /mailx -I $* This script will call the system version of mailx but wi th a modified command line. (To clarify any font issues - the option is capital i) To ensure that Data Manager uses the new executable script you must ensure that the DM b in directory is before the system mailx location on the P ATH. You can use commands like "which" to test in your environmen t which version of the "mailx" command will be executed. It must be the one in the DM bin. On SUSE the mailx script should be: /usr/bin/mailx -~ $*
