Create a Warning Message
The warning message is created as usual with the TCfW client (menu Message/New). Enter
an appropriate warning text and all desired recipients of the warning. All send options like
priority; cover sheet etc. may be used. Make sure that the message originator (From field)
gives a valid user or queue (if the originator user is deleted the warning cannot be sent
anymore).
Instead of posting the warning message, immediately use the menu Message/Save As option
to save it to any KCS folder. It is recommended to store it in the FIS folder or in the system
folder ―+MAIL5V‖ and not in a user‘s private message folder where it may be deleted if the
user is removed. Remember the chosen folder and file name for the next step.
