- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, version 3.2

SUMMARY

RESYNC.GLB is the file created on the directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) server when the Mail administrator does an Import with the -s option. This file contains the addresses that exist in the database of the Dir-Sync server postoffice.

The header transaction in RESYNC.GLB contains the Import Synchronization number IMPSEQ, the requestor synchronization number REQSEQ, and the Server synchronization number SRVSEQ. Because the RESYNC.GLB is a generic extraction that can be applied to any requestor registered with the Dir- Sync server, the sync numbers in the header are determined as follows: 

   The reqsync for each record in the SRVCONF.GLB is scanned, and REQSEQ is
   assigned the largest reqsync number. The SRVSEQ is the srvsync number
   corresponding to the server postoffice record in SRVCONF.GLB.
RESYNC.GLB is copied from the directory server postoffice to the GLB subdirectory of the requestor postoffice. When Import is used with the -q option on the requestor postoffice, RESYNC.GLB is copied to SRVTRANS.GLB, and the transactions are processed.
