Change Request: CAWIS Production: Fix letter distribution bug
Summary:

Minimum Steps to reproduce the issue
(see also the screenshot provided at the end of this document)
Log into CAWIS External or CAWIS External by selecting “TC Login” from the left-hand menu.
Select “Mailing” from the left-hand menu..
Select “Build-list”.
Select “Letter” from the document-type drop-down.

In the Distribution Preview section verify that EMAIL is set to your own EMAIL address.
Enter any text into the English and French subject and “Attention” required fields.
Press “Send Preview”.
Actual Behaviour: The error “The fax template for this distribution exceeds the maximum 21 lines limit.” is displayed.
Expected behaviour:
Solution
The issue was caused by "CheckFaxTemplateLine" in D_L_a.aspx.
The business no longer sends faxes.
The issue is solved by commenting out the following code:
"CheckFaxTemplateLine" in D_L_a.aspx, D_L_a.aspx.
The function
CheckFaxTemplateValidity() in distribution.vb. This function contains the 21 line limit.
Publishing:
Very Important about publishing the packages for CAWIS Internal and External. Publish the package for CAWIS Internal using the “Acceptance Profile”. Publish the package for CAWIS External using the “Staging Profile”. Using the wrong profile will cause admin functionality to be exposed to unauthorized users. |
