LATEST-DELIV-DATE
is the latest date at which the TRANSFER delivery system can deliver the package,
specified either as an absolute calendar date or as a number of time units from
EARLIEST-DELIV-DATE.
EXPIRATION-DATE
is the date and time at which the package expires, specified either as an absolute
calendar date or as a number of time units from LATEST-DELIV-DATE. If
expiration has not been requested, this field contains zeros.
SENDER-ZONE-OFFSET
is the difference, in minutes, between the time at the sender node and the time
local to the current session.
PRIORITY
is the package priority. The field can have a value from 0 (lowest priority) to 199
(highest priority). Priority allows you to classify a package according to its
urgency. The field can have an unsigned value from 0 (lowest priority) to 199
(highest priority). Packages are sent in decreasing order of numeric priority;
when two or more packages are assigned the same numeric priority, the packages
are sent in order of submittal date.
Priority overrules submission time in determining when a package is sent; a high-
priority package goes before a package of low priority, even if the low-priority
package was submitted earlier. If you assign a high-priority to new packages,
lower-priority packages may not be delivered within the requested timeframe.
APPLIC-ID
is the numeric application ID associated with the session during which the item
was created. This value and the value of AGENT-SELECTOR are used as agent
selection criteria at recipient depots. Your application defines these fields. After
delivering a package, the TRANSFER delivery system examines these two fields to
determine what agent to invoke. You can configure an agent to monitor several
APPLIC-ID and AGENT-SELECTOR values. (Refer also to the START-SESSION
and ALTER-AGENT-SELECT UOWs.)
APPLIC-ID values 100 through 499 are reserved for Tandem clients. APPLIC-ID
values 500 through 999 are reserved for agents supplied by Tandem.
