MORE INFORMATION

When participating in Dir-Sync, the Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks' server acts as a foreign Dir-Sync requester via the Connection Name Utility (CNU) component of the version 3.2 of Mail Connection Gateway. If the Network Manager generates an import request message via the Connection Name Utility, the Dir-Sync transaction information will include:

From: Network Manager
To: NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/$SYSTEM
Subject: Directory Exchange Profile
Date: 1994-04-04 09:12
Priority:
-----------------------------------------------------------
[DIRSYNC]
TASK=IMPORTREQ
NAME=PCM:MACNET/MACPO
TYPES=PCM|CSI|profs
TEMPLATE=NO
SRVSEQ=0000000644
TRANSACTIONS=INATTACHMENT

Notice: Under the [DIRSYNC] section of this transaction, the TEMPLATE setting is TEMPLATE=NO.

The Dir-Sync server will respond to the import request by sending a mail message to the Network Manager's inbox. Attached to this mail message will be a TMPTRANS.GLB file which contains the Mail for PC Networks' user names and address detail.

NOTE: For this instance, the Dir-Sync server responded to the CNU generated import request (that specified TEMPLATE=NO) with a TMPTRANS.GLB file containing template information.
