TRANSFER Installation and Management Guide

File Descriptions
The TRANSFER Environment
2–8 068837, Update 1 to 013198 Tandem Computers Incorporated
Each interest group has at least two profiles:
The TRANSFER group profile defines a variety of attributes for the group.
The mail profile provides defaults for many functions during a session with
PS MAIL 6530, PS MAIL 3270, or PS MAIL TTY.
In addition, if a correspondent or group depot includes optional profiles, those profiles
are also stored in the Profile file.
A depot can have one or more agent profiles, each of which specifies the selection
criteria for invoking that agent when a package arrives at the depot.
Other, user-supplied, profiles can be defined to satisfy the particular needs of your
installation.
The system control parameters for TRANSFER itself and for the mail applications are
stored in the Profile file. If a user-supplied system control module is installed at your
node, the system control parameters defined by that module are stored in the Profile
file.
The Profile file also contains the profiles for the default model depot, the default
model group depot, the PUBLIC group depot, the initial depot for a system
administrator, and the depot for the asynchronous requester. These five depots are
created when you initialize Base TRANSFER.
For X400 correspondents, the Profile file stores default values for X400 names. The
Country, ADMD, and PRMD names are stored in one profile element, and the
Organization name is stored in another. Correspondents can retrieve these defaults
for X400 correspondents whom they address regularly; they do not have to type the
complete X400 name each time.
Interest Group Membership File
The Interest Group (INTGROUP) file contains information about the membership of
local interest groups. It provides a list of the members and the administrators of a
given group and a list of the groups that a given correspondent belongs to or
administers. In addition, the file is used to verify that a correspondent has authority to
access or update an object shared by a group.
The INTGROU0 file is the alternate key file for the INTGROUP file.
