ADMD. See Administration Management Domain.
ADMD name. The name of the ADMD that is assigned to a TRANSFER correspondent;
the ADMD name comes from the configuration parameters when the X400 gateway is
installed on a node. All TRANSFER correspondents registered on nodes grouped into
the same domain have the same ADMD name.
ADMIN. An application that allows administrators to perform administrative tasks for
correspondents, interest groups, distribution lists, folders, and the TRANSFER system.
ADMIN can be accessed either by a user-developed SCREEN COBOL module that
interfaces with PS MAIL 6530 and PS MAIL 3270 through the EXTRAS function or run
as a standalone PATHWAY program.
Administration Management Domain (ADMD). An X400 domain managed by an
administration—such as a government—or a public service. ADMDs can send,
receive, and provide intermediate routing for messages. See Domain.
Agent. A SCREEN COBOL program or PATHWAY server class that is automatically
invoked by a TRANSFER asynchronous process to handle packages received at a
depot. Multiple agents can be assigned to a depot to take different actions for different
types of packages. The same agent can be assigned to more than one depot.
Agent profile. A depot profile that defines the criteria for selecting an agent when
packages are delivered to the depot. The profile can also contain information that is
passed to the agent when the agent is invoked.
Agent selection criteria. Two ranges of values that determine whether or not the agent is
invoked. The applicable fields in the package header of an incoming package must be
in the ranges indicated by the agent profile in order for the agent to be invoked.
Attribute. An information item that describes an X400 user and can also identify a
location for that user.
Audited file. A data file that is flagged for auditing by the Transaction Monitoring
Facility (TMF); auditing is the monitoring of transactions in preparation for recovery
efforts.
Base character set. The set of all characters that TRANSFER stores and makes available
for text. A standard base character set of 265 characters is furnished with TRANSFER.
Base time. The time you set for the depot storage facility to collect depot statistics
information.
Base TRANSFER. A TRANSFER component that provides the set of processes that
control communications within the TRANSFER environment and data files that
contain information TRANSFER needs to service requests for package delivery. The
administrative client, ADMIN, and the system management client, TMANAGER, are
also part of Base TRANSFER. Base TRANSFER is the only component required for a
TRANSFER delivery system.
BCC (Blind Copy) Recipients. Recipients who are not disclosed to the primary or
courtesy-copy recipients of a message.
