Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI)
is a messaging architecture and a Component Object Model based API for Microsoft
Windows. MAPI allows client programs to become (e-mail) messaging-enabled, MAPI
is designed to be independent of the protocol.
MAPI Protocol
doesn’t have recording option. We need
to write the cold manually.
Sessions can be run
as local or global sessions. If running as a global session, the Load runner
statements all finish with a suffix of _ex.
The logon statement is as follows for global session.
mapi_logon_ex(&mapi, "Logon",
"ProfileName=Default Outlook Profile",
"ProfilePass=",
Where ProfileName is “Outlook Profile Name” and
ProfilePass is “Password”
Prerequisites to
execute above statement.
Define mapi as ‘MAPI mapi = 0 before the logon statement.
Outlook profile should be created on the machine where we
are executing the script.
// Code to Send Mail.
mapi_send_mail_ex(&mapi,"SendMail",
"To=Recipient
Mail Address",
"Subject=Test
Mail",
"Body=
Test Mail!!! "
"
Body Text"
"Multiple
Lines",
"ATTACHMENTS",
"File=C:\\FileName", "ENDITEM",
LAST);
We
can also add CC and BCC above code if required.
Also
we can Perform Read Mail and Delete Mail actions.
