X400 Import Server
(X400-IMPORTER)
TRANSFER X400 import servers are defined in PATHWAY only if the TRANSFER
X400 gateway is configured. This server is responsible for translating an X.400-format
message into the equivalent TRANSFER package so that an X400 correspondent can
send a message to a TRANSFER correspondent.
The import server does not have a requester. Import server processes look for work in
the X400 queue file. For this reason, the PARAM HANGAROUND "TRUE" must be
specified, and the NUMSTATIC value must be set to the same value as MAXSERVERS
to start all of the processes and keep them running.
Most of the import server PARAMs are required to define other processes that it has to
communicate with. It needs to know about the TDB-SERV, the X400-gateway queue
entry manager, and the X400-gateway queue wait manager.
The import server has a single log file, defined with the out parameter. Serious
problems are always logged, but information messages are logged only if the PARAM
DEBUGLOGLEVEL parameter is reset to 0 from the default value of 3. The PARAM
DEBUGLOGRECSPEROPEN defines how many lines are written before the log file is
reopened; its default is 20.
For example:
ALTER X400-IMPORTER, out $S.#EXPLOG
ALTER X400-IMPORTER, PARAM DEBUGLOGLEVEL "0"
ALTER X400-IMPORTER, PARAM DEBUGLOGRECSPEROPEN "100"
Note Import servers do not support an ASSIGN DEBUGLOG server command. You must use an OUT
location to get debuglog information.
