UOW. See Unit-of-work.
user application. An application that a user develops and supplies to run on a
TRANSFER system.
User ID. A name assigned by the system manager, consisting of a group ID and a
unique user ID (for example, REP.STEVE).
user-defined profile. A depot profile that includes information about a correspondent for
programs developed by Tandem users.
user-DSV. A subvolume on your TRANSFER system on which resides a copy of the
Tandem distribution subvolume with software for TRANSFER and clients supplied by
Tandem. Contrast with DSV and ISV.
WASTEBASKET folder. A special folder, automatically created for each session started by
a correspondent, where PS MAIL files messages the correspondent deletes from other
folders. When a session is terminated, the WASTEBASKET folder for that session is
deleted.
wildcard character. An asterisk included in a TRANSFER simple name to indicate that
any character or characters can appear in that position. The separator period must be
entered when wildcard characters are used in a fully qualified name. Contrast with

X400. The TRANSFER implementation of X.400 standards. TRANSFER sends X400
messages to X400 recipients through the X400 gateway. TRANSFER has X400 servers
and configures an X400 depot at X400 nodes. See X.400.
_X400_. The name of the X400 gateway depot. If an item is imported by the
TRANSFER X400 gateway, the creator name is identified by _X400_.
X.400. An international standard of architecture and protocols for exchanging
messages.
X400 correspondent. A correspondent that sends packages through the TRANSFER
X400 gateway to X.400 nodes that are not on TRANSFER systems.
X400 depot. A depot defined at each X400 gateway node. This depot is used when a
message needs to be exported to a foreign X400 network. When an message to be sent
to an X400 correspondent arrives at the local gateway node, the message is saved in
the _X400_ depot’s INBOX folder for each X400 recipient. The message ID is placed on
a queue, and the export server is informed that it has work to do.
X400-EMSERV. The X400 entry manager server that handles enqueuing, reading, and
dequeuing of queue entries; an application can have many entry managers for each
Queue file.
X400-EXPORT folder. A special folder that holds X400 messages that were successfully
exported.
X400 Exporter server. The server that handles messages being exported from
TRANSFER to the X400 network.
