CREATE-DEPOT Operation
The CREATE-DEPOT UOW adds a new correspondent to the system by entering the
correspondent name in the TRANSFER name directory, and creates a depot for that
correspondent. The depot is created on the same node as the copy of TISERV accessed
by this UOW. Also, the correspondent is automatically added to the PUBLIC group at
the local node. Another search list record is appended to the end of the current set of
depot search lists, to search the local PUBLIC depot when names entered by the
correspondent are resolved.
If a depot already exists for the correspondent identified by NEW-CORR or if certain
other errors occur, the TRANSFER delivery system does not create the depot.
If you specify a model depot in the MODEL-NAME field, the TRANSFER delivery
system copies all profiles, including any agents, from the model depot to the new
depot profile. The TRANSFER delivery system uses the ordering criteria that was
specified for the special folders in the model depot for the special folders in the new
depot. If you do not specify a model depot, the TRANSFER delivery system uses the
default model depot.
If any of the model depot's special folders has an item retention time that exceeds the
model depot's constraint, the W-TIME-TOO-LONG warning is returned. The item
retention time for the corresponding folder in the new depot is decreased to the
constraint that the new depot has inherited.
If the depot storage statistics facility is active, a record for this depot is added to the
DEPSTAT file.
The initial password is blank (all spaces) for a depot created with the CREATE-DEPOT
UOW.
