Disabling the external objects capability does not affect deliveries in progress—it only
means that new attachments cannot be made and that current attachments cannot be
altered or dissolved. Any deliveries that involve external objects and that are in
progress when the capability is disabled at the destination node will be completed.
But after the capability is disabled, any new delivery attempts involving external
objects will be rejected.

Configuration Inquiry
You obtain information from the TRANSFER name configuration directory by issuing
a GET-CONFIG-NAME UOW. The names of various TRANSFER files, processes, and
other configuration entities are listed in the TRANSFER Reference Manual.
Administration Tasks You request various administrative operations, such as the management of depots,
distribution lists, or TRANSFER names, by issuing administrative UOWs. Some of
these UOWs can only be issued by processes representing correspondents with system
administrator capability.
Session Management You can obtain the names of correspondents with currently active sessions by issuing a
GET-NEXT-SESSION UOW. If you are writing your own administrative client, you
can use this UOW in connection with terminating sessions, shutting down the
TRANSFER delivery system, and monitoring the load on the TRANSFER system. This
UOW requires system administrator capability.
Depot Management A correspondent depot is established when that correspondent's name is registered
with the TRANSFER delivery system. Every correspondent has precisely one depot
and that depot has a network-unique identity. The depot contains profiles, folders,
and distribution lists. Agents are also associated with depots.
You create a depot and register a correspondent who owns that depot by issuing a
CREATE-DEPOT UOW. You delete a depot by issuing a DELETE-DEPOT UOW.
Both of these UOWs require system administrator capability.
Your process can also:
Obtain one or more data elements from a depot profile (GET-PROFILE-ELEM
UOW)
Change data elements in a profile (ALTER-PROFILE-ELEM UOW)
Read user-maintained profile records (READ-PROFILE-REC UOW)
Write user-maintained profile records (WRITE-PROFILE-REC UOW)
Delete profile records (DELETE-PROFILE-REC UOW)
