contain error lists that include error tokens. A response can consist of multiple
response records, spread across one or more response messages.
result file. In the P7 API, a file used for retrieving results from the OSI/MHS subsystem.
The file number is returned by a call to the LOS_OPEN_ procedure. See also send
file.
return token. In DSM programmatic interfaces, the token that indicates whether a
command was successful and, if not, why it failed. The token code for the return token
is ZSPI-TKN-RETCODE. Its value consists of a single integer field. See also error
token.
root object. In the GPI, a message, probe, report, or P1-encoded object.
ROSE (remote operations service element). An Application Layer service definition and
protocol supporting interactive applications, implemented by the RS process in
OSI/MHS. Examples of ROSE PDUs are:
route. A path through an X.400 system from an originator to a recipient.
ROUTE object. An object type, used in OSI/MHS management interfaces, that defines
routing information to the OSI/MHS subsystem. You use the ROUTE object to define
and inquire about O/R names for addressing adjacent MTAs.
route retry. The action taken when an attempt to deliver a message to an adjacent MTA
fails after all links have been tried and exhausted. Route retry occurs when the
subsystem attempts to deliver the message by an alternate route.
route-selection criteria. The attributes that determine the route the message is to take.
routing. The selection of the adjacent MTA to which a message, probe, or report is
transferred.
routing database. A database in the OSI/MHS registration database that contains records
of ROUTE objects and APPL objects.
routing tables. The internal databases that hold the information about the O/R names.
RS (remote operations service) class. The OSI/MHS CLASS object that identifies the set of
all RS groups in an OSI/MHS subsystem.
