Wild-Card Notation in ROUTE and APPL X.121
Addresses and Numeric User Identifiers
•
In the ALTER command, you can use an asterisk to remove a previously specified
name element. This example changes the SUR-NAME attribute so that the APPL
accepts any legal value:
ALTER APPL $ZMHS.#GWAPPL1, ACCESS-TYPE GW &
ACCESS-NAME GW1, &
DOM-TYPE-1 ABC1, DOM-VALUE-1 PPICKLY, &
ISO-COUNTRY-NAME US, ADMD BELL, &
SUR-NAME * &
•
If an asterisk is used for a name element, subordinate name elements must be
unspecified or must also have an asterisk as a value. The example shown below is
invalid; because ORG-NAME contains an asterisk, the ORG-UNIT name should
either be omitted or should have an asterisk:
ADD DLISTMEMBER $ZMHS.#USERS.USER 1, &
ISO-COUNTRY-NAME US, &
ADMD ATT, &
PRMD Compaq, &
ORG-NAME * &
ORG-UNIT-1 COMMUNICATIONS
•
You cannot use an asterisk to represent a part of a name element. The SUR-NAME
attribute in this example is not valid:
ADD APPL $ZMHS.#GWAPPL1, ACCESS-TYPE GW &
ACCESS-NAME GW1, &
DOM-TYPE-1 ABC1, DOM-VALUE-1 PPICKLY, &
ISO-COUNTRY-NAME US, ADMD BELL, &
SUR-NAME DAV* &
Wild-Card Notation in ROUTE and APPL X.121 Addresses and
Numeric User Identifiers
For the ADD APPL, ALTER APPL, ADD ROUTE, or ALTER ROUTE commands, you
can use the asterisk to represent some or all of an X.121 address or numeric user
identifier. This feature lets you route messages based on partial matching of an X.121 or
numeric user identifier field.
OSI/MHS supports both partial wild-carding and full wild-carding. Each is described
below.
Partial Wild-Carding
Partial wild-carding in this context means substituting the asterisk wild-card character
for one or more characters at the end of a string. For example, you can represent an
X.121 address for an APPL object as:
X121-ADDR 493*
Note. The first three rules above apply to all O/R name attributes. The fourth rule applies to all
O/R name attributes except the X121-ADDR and NUMERIC-USER-IDENTIFIER attributes of
the ROUTE and APPL objects. See the following subsection for a description of wild-carding
with these elements.
