MH-C-BILATERAL-INFORMATION
Meanings of Attributes
The attribute types specify the following information:
MH-T-ADMD-NAME
Is the name of the source domain (ADMD) or the ADMD to which the source domain is
attached (PRMD). The values of this attribute are defined by the country specified in the
MH-T-COUNTRY-NAME attribute.
MH-T-COUNTRY-NAME
Is the name of the country of the ADMD. The values for this attribute are numbers
X.121 assigns to the country, or the character pairs ISO 3166 assigns to it.
MH-T-INFORMATION
Is binary data that follows the BER. You can specify a zero-length octet string as
hexadecimal ‘04 00’.
MH-T-PRMD-IDENTIFIER
Identifies the source domain, if it is a PRMD, relative to the ADMD specified by the
MH-T-ADMD-NAME attribute. The defined values of this attribute may be identical to
those of the PRMD name (MH-T-PRMD-NAME attribute) of an O/R name (MH-C-OR-
NAME object) of a user served by the source domain.
Implementation and Usage Note
OM-S-ONFILE-STRING is a value syntax that applies to messages exceeding 64
kilobytes.
For the attribute MH-T-INFORMATION, this value syntax is an alternative to OM-S-
OCTET-STRING.
When this attribute has the syntax OM-S-ONFILE-STRING, the GPI library stores the
value in a file, and the value retains the characteristics of its primary syntax.
For outbound messages, the client program should specify OM-S-ONFILE-STRING as
the syntax of an attribute when the memory storage space might be insufficient to
accommodate the value of the attribute. The client can specify this syntax for specific
strings when the accumulated length of the strings might overflow the total string area
specified in the max-table-data parameter of the GPI_INITIALIZE_ procedure call.
For inbound messages, the Gateway Interface Process automatically specifies OM-S-
ONFILE-STRING for those strings that exceed the value in the max-table-data
parameter of the GPI_INITIALIZE_ call or that exceed the maximum length specified
in the max-in-memory-string-len parameter of the GPI_MT_START_TRANSFER_IN_
call.
Attributes that have the syntax OM-S-ONFILE-STRING are treated as long strings,
regardless of their actual length: that is, they are treated as if they were longer than the
specification of the max-string-len parameter of GPI_INITIALIZE_. Thus, you can use
