Access
To specify a primary or copy recipient, you must add two recipient records:
A recipient for delivery purposes
A recipient for display purposes
To add a TRANSFER primary or copy recipient:
1. Submit an ADD-RECIP UOW with the RECIP-TYPE field set to 340 for a primary
recipient or 323 for a copy recipient.
2. Submit an ADD-ITEM-REC UOW with the record type set to 340 for a primary
recipient or 323 for a copy recipient.
To add an X400 primary or copy recipient, submit an ADD-X400-RECIP UOW with
the RECIP-TYPE field set to 340 for a primary recipient or 323 for a copy recipient. Set
the P2-RECIP-ONLY field to N. When P2-RECIP-ONLY is set to N, the TRANSFER
delivery system adds a delivery record and a display record.
To retrieve TRANSFER primary or copy recipients, use the GET-ITEM-REC UOW to
retrieve X400 display recipient names in the item data record (record type 324) or use
the GET-RECIP-REC or GET-RECIP-REC-C20 UOW to retrieve delivery recipient
names.
To retrieve X400 primary or copy recipients, use the GET-X400-RECIP UOW to
retrieve both delivery and display recipient names.
Receipt
Notification (P2)
Receipt notification allows you to request notification that a package was received.
The definition of received depends upon how the recipient's client or UA handles
receipt. Notification requests for X400 recipients are only valid for TO, CC, and BCC
recipients.
If a package is certified, then receipt notification from all recipients is implied even if it
is not specifically requested. Also, if receipt notification is requested, then nonreceipt
notification is also implicitly requested.
Data Structure
The receipt notification request flag resides with recipient data.
Access
Set the RECEIPT-NOTIFY flag in the ADD-RECIP UOW or ADD-X400-RECIP UOW to
specify receipt notification for a recipient.
The TRANSFER delivery system sets the receipt notification request flag for
distribution list recipients when the distribution list is expanded.
The gateway returns receipt notification in a TAREQ status package and stores
supplemental information in an item data record of type 218. UAs do not always
support receipt notification; therefore, do not depend on receipt notification from X400
recipients unless you know the corresponding UAs support receipt notification.
