681.0. "XDSU & DXIM (modifying email aux class atts)" by CHEFS::SMITHMR (Making it Easier) Fri Jan 24 1997 12:44

    
    Hi,

    One for Warren and Hal. I've implemented an XDSU V1.4 solution
    successfully but need a couple of further customisations:

    1. I would like DXIM to pick up the email auxillary class attributes so
    that the customer can modify them as well as read them. To do this I
    believe we need to add some labels into the file /var/dxd/dua.sc that
    correspond to each of the email auxillary class attributes. Now rather
    than do that myself I wondered if it had been done and could be provided
    by XDSU Engineering and with future versions of XDSU.

    2. Where can I get the latest x_put and x_get executables (for UNIX
    V3.2G) and why are they still not part of the kit? These are the key
    components that allow a solution to be built that is e-mail enabled
    using MAILbus 400. I have found a length restriction in my current
    copy of x_put and would like to see if this exists in the latest version.

    best regards,

    Mike R Smith@REO. (NSIS TelCO PSC).

    Hi,
    
    Re: 1. email aux class attributes
    
    I take it this for allowing the email attributes to work with motif
    dxim?  The labels for email class would have to go in email.sc, though,
    since dua.sc is controlled by X.500 engineering.
    Have you already made some changes?  I'll be happy to include them in the
    next version.
    
    Re: 2. x_put, x_get
    
    I'll have to get back to you on these questions.  Can you be more
    specific on the x_put problem in the meantime.

    Yep this is for DXIM Motif. Why do they need to go in email.sc, I
    thought they needed to go in dua.sc as this is what DXIM is looking at?
    However no I wonder if DXIM looks at the compiled schema in which case
    it doesn't really matter (although email.sc is logically correct) as all
    .sc files are included for compilation. I haven't done this yet and look
    to you as the definitive source for this ;-). Any chance you could knock
    one together and I'll test/improve (if necessary).

>>>
    The recipient address of X_PUT over about 80 characters causes problems.
    It is possible that this is only true if it contains a dda,  or maybe
    specific to the dda's value. I can investigate but thought I should
    check I had the latest version first. Be nice if these utilities
    supported a -v swich which displayed their version (or some other
    mechanism).

    Mike,
    
    Regarding email.sc:
    
    To allow these attributes to be properly used with Motif Dxim, I'll
    need to change emailInfo from an auxillary class to a structural class.  
    In the next XDSU release, I plan on putting together another variant of
    email.sc which uses a structural class - then the user can decide,
    which to use.
    
    I will post the structural class variant when I get a chance.  I'm not
    sure, however, what effect changing an objectclass from an aux. to a
    structural would have on your existing schema/dsa.  I suspect you would
    have to delete/reload everything that has any emailinfo attributes.
    
    Regarding x_put:
    
    You have the latest version, so if you can nail down your problem to
    whether dda's are involved, that would be a big help.  The idea to
    start putting a version number on these is good....
    
    Reagrds,
    Warren
681.4Sounds GoodCHEFS::SMITHMRMaking it EasierThu Feb 13 1997 04:5515
    Hi,

    This sounds very interesting. I don't understand why a structural class
    is necessary except that you imply that DXIM would be able to work with
    one.

    Deleting and reloading everything is not a problem. All incoming
    directories, MTS routing information and the DSA are all built from
    master scripts. This protects customers from DIT corruption, changes in
    product schemas etc.

    thanks,

    Mike.

    From the latest X.500 (T3.1) Release Notes:
    
            7 DXIM Motif Interface Restrictions
    
            7.10 No Support for Auxiliary Object Classes
    
                  The DXIM Motif interface does not support auxiliary object
                  classes.
    
    I believe one of the forms doesn't allow you to specify a aux. class.
    This only prohibits you from modifying attributes, as far as I can tell.
