ADD GATEWAY Command
NORMAL defines a gateway to which messages are routed normally. NORMAL
can be used for both GPI and TRANSFER gateways. NORMAL is the default
value.
P1-EXIT defines a special exit gateway. P1-EXIT is used only for GPI gateways.
If P1-EXIT is specified, subsequent MPDUs received from the RTS are sent directly
to the P1-EXIT gateway before OSI/MHS decodes or routes them. Typically, a P1-
EXIT gateway is configured in cases where messages received from remote systems
are to be examined or modified by an external GPI-based application prior to normal
processing by OSI/MHS.
If P1-EXIT is not specified, messages are processed normally by OSI/MHS.
PASSWORD
specifies the password used by the gateway when it connects to OSI/MHS. You can
also specify a null password by using the asterisk (*) character. This value has a
maximum length of 62 characters. The default value is the null string.
VALIDATION
specifies that the OSI/MHS subsystem checks the encoded information types,
content types, and size of message before delivering the message to the gateway.
Probes destined for the gateway are handled by OSI/MHS when in this mode. If
validation is OFF, then the checks will not be performed by the OSI/MHS
subsystem. Probes will be handed on to the gateway. The default value is ON.
This attribute is meaningless if GW-TYPE is P1-EXIT.
VINTAGE
specifies whether the gateway is a 1984 or 1988 implementation. Note that this
attribute is meaningless if GW-TYPE is P1-EXIT.
GW-MAX-TIME-EXPIRED
specifies the maximum time a gateway queued message remains on the input queue
before an event is generated indicating the maximum time has expired. The units are
minutes. The range is 0-36000. The default is 10.
If the GW-MAX-TIME-EXPIRED value is set to 0, then the attribute is turned off,
and event 52 is not generated.
Gateways that are migrated from D20, D21, or D22 have the
GW-MAX-TIME-EXPIRED value set to 0.
Note. After every twentieth message queued to the gateway input queue, the OSI/MHS
MTA retrieves the time of enqueue for the first message on the queue. If the first enqueued
message has remained on the queue longer than the maximum time configured in the
gateway object, event 52 is generated. This event is also generated every time an
additional 20 messages are enqueued, as long as the message has not been retrieved
from the queue. After the message is retrieved, no additional event is generated.
