File Descriptions
The TRANSFER Environment
068837, Update 1 to 013198 Tandem Computers Incorporated 2–7
Remote Open Control (ROPENCTL)
Used by the TWORK servers to control network OPEN requests.
Network Traffic Logging (TRAFLOG)
Logs the amount of network traffic that TRANSFER generates.
The Textfile and the Character Map file are part of the Base TRANSFER distribution
subvolume.
Most of these files are configured as TMF audited files when Base TRANSFER is
initialized. The following files must not be TMF audited files: the Ready, Time, Net,
Character Map, Textfile, Queue Sample, Data Base Sample, Remote Open Control,
Network Traffic Logging, and the alternate key files for the Ready, Time, and Net files
(READY0) (TIME0) (NET0). Refer to the discussion of TMF audited files later in this
section.
File Descriptions The following information is helpful for understanding the Base TRANSFER database
files.
Name Directory Files
The name directory files include the Name file and the Directory Services Data file.
The Name (NAME) file is a directory of all names of correspondents, interest
groups, distribution lists, and folders defined at your node. TRANSFER uses this
file whenever a local name is supplied in a request to TRANSFER to determine the
validity of the name. Remote names need not be verified until the request reaches
the remote node. Two flags in each correspondent profile control when remote
and local names entered by that correspondent are verified.
The NAME0 file is the alternate key file for the NAME file.
The Directory Services Data (DSDATA) file contains information about
correspondent, interest group, distribution list, and folder names for internal use
by TRANSFER. It holds configuration data that is used by the Name server for
resolving names. It is not accessible to the user.
The DSDATA0 file is the alternate key file for the DSDATA file.
Profile File
The Profile (PROFILE) file contains the part of a depot that describes the
correspondent or interest group to TRANSFER.
Each correspondent has at least two profiles:
The TRANSFER correspondent profile defines a variety of operational parameters
that TRANSFER uses when the correspondent has a session in progress.
The mail profile provides defaults for many functions during a session with
PS MAIL 6530, PS MAIL 3270, or PS MAIL TTY.
