1 Introduction Overview ADMIN is an application of the Tandem TRANSFER delivery system, a high-level software product that reliably supports communications between people, devices, and running programs, or processes. Using ADMIN, a TRANSFER system administrator can perform various administrative tasks to support users of TRANSFER applications such as PS MAIL 6530.
Introduction Terminology INBOX, OUTLOG, and WASTEBASKET folders automatically created and maintained by TRANSFER, correspondents can define other folders for a depot. foreign correspondent. User of a messaging system on a computer that is not a Tandem system, but that supports package exchange with Tandem TRANSFER correspondents through the X.400 protocol. interest group. A group of correspondents who share a common interest, function, or purpose. Interest groups are also described simply as groups.
Introduction TRANSFER Operation correspondent or interest group profile are limited by the attributes that control the system. PUBLIC group. An interest group containing all correspondents defined on a given node of a TRANSFER system. New correspondents are, by default, members of the PUBLIC group and have shared access to PUBLIC folders and distribution lists. session.
Introduction TRANSFER Operation TRANSFER is reliable, flexible, and convenient. The sender can specify when information is to be delivered. Delivery of information is assured; each recipient receives the information and receives it only once. The content and format of the information that is transmitted is strictly up to the sender; TRANSFER is concerned only with the transmittal of the information.
Introduction ADMIN Functions Folders are the places where packages are stored in a depot. In addition to the folders automatically created and maintained by TRANSFER, a correspondent can define other folders for a depot. Distribution lists are predefined lists of recipients for packages. A distribution list, which provides a simple method for sending a package to multiple destinations, belongs to the correspondent who creates it; however, any correspondent can use any distribution list.
2 Getting Started with ADMIN Overview This section provides basic information for getting started with ADMIN. The section defines the types of TRANSFER correspondents who use ADMIN, explains function key usage and screen navigation, describes where advice messages appear and how to get Help, and gives instructions for logging onto the ADMIN MAIN MENU. Also included are naming rules for TRANSFER objects such as correspondents, folders, and distribution lists.
Getting Started with ADMIN Function Keys On the version displayed for system administrators who can write on the screen, most fields are highlighted, indicating that they can be altered. On the read-only version, the fields are not highlighted because their values cannot be changed. With other screens, the system administrator's version contains more fields and function keys than the read-only version.
Getting Started with ADMIN Getting Help To make ADMIN easier to use, several function keys are defined to perform the same type of task whenever they appear on a screen other than the MAIN MENU. (On the MAIN MENU, most function keys are used to call up other screens.) These commonly defined function keys are listed in Table 2-1. Table 2-1.
Getting Started with ADMIN Naming Rules From any Help screen, you return to the screen from which you requested help by pressing F16 or go to the ADMIN MAIN MENU by pressing SF16. Naming Rules Before using ADMIN to perform TRANSFER administrative functions, you need to be familiar with the rules for entering names on the ADMIN screens. Names entered include those for TRANSFER correspondents, interest groups, distribution lists, and folders.
Getting Started with ADMIN Naming Rules Qualifying Names Usually, when you add correspondent names, interest group names, folder names, and distribution list names to the TRANSFER directory, you need to specify only a simple name.
Getting Started with ADMIN Naming Rules BROWN_GEORGE(manager) BREAKFAST-CLUB(mondays) If you enter a suffix for another distribution list name or for a correspondent or interest group whose correspondent or group profile specifies that suffixes are not recognized, the suffix is ignored. The name is then added to the distribution list without the suffix.
Getting Started with ADMIN Naming Rules always enter the full name of a specified node name. Qualified names must also include any required separator periods in the pattern. A pattern is like a wild card, but it does not have to identify a unique name. When you enter a pattern for a list of names, ADMIN displays only the names that match the pattern. Some examples of patterns are shown in Table 2-2. Table 2-2.
Getting Started with ADMIN Naming Rules X400 name components are fully defined and described in the Tandem OSI/MHS Configuration and Management Guide. You need not know all of the X.400 naming conventions, however. Your system manager can tell you which of these naming components are used in your X400 name and give you correct values for each component.
Getting Started with ADMIN Accessing ADMIN Accessing ADMIN Once ADMIN is installed at your node, you can access the product one of two ways: From an application such as the TRANSFER client PS MAIL From the GUARDIAN 90 TACL prompt. From a TRANSFER Client From the GUARDIAN 90 TACL Prompt To reach ADMIN from a TRANSFER client or other application, reference the ADMIN access procedure in the manual for the application.
Getting Started with ADMIN The LOGON Screen The LOGON Screen You get the LOGON screen by running the ADMIN program from PATHCOM, as described in the previous subsection.

Getting Started with ADMIN The LOGON Screen the password must be entered with uppercase and lowercase letters matching exactly the password stored in your profile. The system administrator enters an initial password for you when your correspondent name is registered. This initial password can follow a convention such as your last name in lowercase letters. You can then change your password the first time you log on to ADMIN, using the CORRESPONDENT TRANSFER PROFILE screen.
Getting Started with ADMIN The MAIN MENU Screen The MAIN MENU You get the MAIN MENU by pressing F16 at the LOGON screen. This screen displays Screen a list of the administrative functions you can request and the function keys you press to get the screens for each task.
