Item Names A process can reference a named item by entering the folder name and item name
together in the following format:
[ folder-name . ] item-name
folder-name
is a simple name that identifies the folder. If folder-name is omitted, the
TRANSFER delivery system uses the folder name identified in the FOLDER-
NAME field of the UOW.
item-name
is a simple name that identifies the item.
Item Name Examples Examples of item names are:
MYBILLS.CAR-PAYMENT an item named CAR-PAYMENT
in a folder named MYBILLS in
the depot of the correspondent.
RECIPES.CHOCOLATE-CAKE an item named CHOCOLATE-CAKE
in a folder named RECIPES in
the depot of the correspondent.
Folder Names A process can reference an existing folder by entering the folder name in the following
format:
[ correspondent-name . ] folder-name [ trigger [ node ] ]
correspondent-name
is a simple name that identifies the correspondent. If the correspondent name is
omitted, the TRANSFER delivery system searches for the folder at the depot of the
correspondent that the process is representing.
folder-name
is a simple name that identifies the folder.
You cannot assign a folder the same name as a distribution list belonging to the
same depot because folders and distribution list names are entered in the same
format.
trigger
is the character that introduces system names when they appear in TRANSFER
names. The at sign (@) is the default system trigger.
