PMDF System Manager's Guide

The relevant parameters for the x400_domains_driver.com procedure (OpenVMS) or x400_domains_driver.tcl Tcl script (UNIX) are:

PMDF_X400

If you will be using the procedure with PMDF-X400, set the PMDF_X400 parameter to the value "TRUE" (OpenVMS) or 1 (UNIX).

PMDF_MB400

If you will be using the procedure with PMDF-MB400, set the PMDF_MB400 parameter to the value "TRUE" (OpenVMS) or 1 (UNIX).

PMDF_MR (OpenVMS only)

If you will be using the procedure with PMDF-MR, set the PMDF_MR parameter to the value "TRUE". Otherwise, if you will be using the procedure with PMDF-X400 or PMDF-MB400, set the PMDF_MR parameter to the value "FALSE".

PMDF_MR_ROUTE (OpenVMS only)

If you will be using the procedure with PMDF-MR, set the PMDF_MR_ROUTE parameter to the Message Router route for the MRX mailbox. With PMDF-X400 or PMDF-MB400, this parameter is not used and its value is ignored.

X400_GWY_DOMAIN

If you will be using the procedure with PMDF-X400, this parameter must be set to the X.400 gateway domain name that you defined when you configured PMDF-X400.

MB400_GWY_DOMAIN

If you will be using the procecure with PMDF-MB400, this parameter must be set to the MAILbus 400 gateway domain name that you defined when you configured PMDF-MB400.

MR_GWY_DOMAIN (OpenVMS only)

If you will be using the procedure with PMDF-MR, set the MR_GWY_DOMAIN parameter to the MR gateway domain name that you defined when you configured PMDF-MR. With PMDF-X400 or PMDF-MB400, this parameter is not used and its value is ignored.

TABLE_1

This parameter tells the procedure where it can find the RFC 2156 mappings file for Table 1. You should normally not need to change this parameter; simply make sure the mapping file is placed accordingly.

TABLE_2

This parameter tells the procedure where it can find the RFC 2156 mappings file for Table 2. You should normally not need to change this parameter; simply make sure the mapping file is placed accordingly.

DOMAIN_DATABASE

The x400_domains_driver.com procedure (OpenVMS) or x400_domains_driver.tcl script (UNIX) produces rewrite rules and stores them in the file x400_domains.rules. This file should be incorporated into your x400.rules or pmdf.cnf configuration file. Alternately, setting the parameter DOMAIN_DATABASE to "TRUE" causes the x400_domains.com x400_domains.com procedure (OpenVMS) or x400_domains.tcl Tcl script (UNIX) to convert x400_domains.rules x400_domains.rules into a PMDF domain database, referenced via the PMDF_DOMAIN_DATABASE logical name (OpenVMS) or tailor file option (UNIX), which will automatically be consulted for rewrite rules. The PMDF_DOMAIN_DATABASE is normally the database file domains.dat (OpenVMS) or database files domaindb.* (OpenVMS) and located in the PMDF table directory. It is recommended that you only produce a domain database if the tables you are running against are fairly large and produce more than a few dozen rewrite rules. For example, the tables distributed by the COSINE MHS project for coordination of X.400 addresses with Internet domains are likely to produce hundreds of rewrite rules and you should use a domain database. By contrast, private tables for a few domains of your own are best used directly out of the x400_domains.rules file.
