The TRANSFER delivery system allows clients to request that specific recipients reply
to a package, but does not enforce the request ; it simply carries the information that
the originator requested a reply.
You can specify up to 9999 recipients to receive the reply. Recipients must reside in
the same domain as the node where the package is being created. These recipients do
not receive a copy of the original package unless you also add them as primary,
courtesy copy, or blind copy recipients. As with the reply-by date, the TRANSFER
delivery system does not enforce the reply-to list; the replying client is responsible for
adding the reply-to recipients to the reply package.
Note TRANSFER reply-to recipients must be registered on a node with a C30 or later version of the
TRANSFER delivery system; earlier versions do not support reply-to recipients.
Data Structure
The reply request resides with recipient data. Date and time limits reside in the
REPLY-BY field of the item descriptor. TRANSFER reply-to recipients reside in item
data records of type 105. X400 reply-to recipients reside in the X400Name file with a
record type of 105.
Access
Set the REPLY-REQUESTED flag in the ADD-RECIP or ADD-X400-RECIP UOW to
request a reply. The ADD-RECIP-LIST UOW can be used for TRANSFER recipients.
To specify the reply-by date, use the ALTER-ITEM-DES-C20 UOW. You can specify
the date in absolute form or as a time and date relative to submission time. The
TRANSFER delivery system converts relative times when you submit a package.
To specify reply-to recipients, use the ADD-AUX-NAME UOW for TRANSFER
recipients and the ADD-X400-AUX-NAME UOW for X400 recipients.
To determine whether a reply was requested for the recipient of an incoming message,
use the GET-RECIP-REC, GET-RECIP-REC-C20, or GET-X400-RECIP UOW. To obtain
the reply-by date for a package, use the GET-ITEM-DES-C20 UOW.
To retrieve the names of TRANSFER reply-to recipients, use the GET-AUX-NAME or
GET-ITEM-REC UOW. To retrieve X400 reply-to recipients, use the
GET-X400-AUX-NAME UOW.
To delete names from an alterable item, use the DELETE-AUX-NAME or
DELETE-ITEM-REC UOW. To delete X400 names, use the DEL-X400-AUX-NAME
UOW.
