Using SGWADMIN.DLL

The SGWADMIN DLL creates the Administrator extension for the sample gateway. Use the Options tab to display a dialog box in which you can specify the gateway's configuration.

Sample gateway Administrator extension dialog box

The fields in the dialog box are:

• Address Type Address type of messages passing through the gateway. The default is EDK.
• System Administrator Display name and e-mail address of the system administrator.
• Messages to Process Indicates whether the gateway will process inbound and outbound messages. A checked box indicates that the gateway will process that type of message. The remaining fields in the dialog box have two columns of values, one for inbound messages and one for outbound messages.
• Threads Number of threads used to process messages.
• Messages Per Thread Number of messages processed in each thread.
• Sleep Per Message The length of time it takes to process one message. If the gateway finishes processing a message before this interval has elapsed, it waits until the end of the interval before starting to process the next message.
• Polling Interval If this is set to NOTIFICATION, the gateway uses notifications to determine when to process the next message. For incoming messages, it uses the first change notification; Windows NT Server tells the gateway when there is a change in the incoming message directory. For output messages, it uses the MAPI notification mechanism to determine when messages arrive in the MTS-OUT folder.

  If this is set to a value greater than –1, the gateway waits that many milliseconds before trying to process another message.

• Directory Name of the directory from which the gateway reads incoming messages or to which it writes outgoing messages. The directory name must be preceded by a backslash (\).
• Converter Pointers to the locations of conversion DLLs for the inbound and outbound messages.
