669.0. "General template questions (V2.4)" by POBOX::LIDEN () Tue May 12 1992 03:38

    Just a couple of short questions.
    
    1. What can someone do when the form library field in a template is not
    long enough to handle what they need to enter there?
    
    2. Can anyone explain to me how the Group Identifier field is used?
    
    3. Is there any use for the Node field, and if there is, what is it.
    
    The discussion in the management guide didn't seem to help the customer
    with the questions.
    
    Thanks in advance,

    1.  You're probasbly using too many form libraries, which isn't best
    for performance :-)  Use (short) logical names for the .FLBs.
    
    2. It's used to specify a name for the Group part of the UIC. If you
    look in AUTHORIZE, you'll see an identifier with a UIC member number
    177777, which is what shows up as the name for the group part of the
    UIC.
    
    E.g. my account is PYE, which has UIC of [101,something]. My UIC is
    shown as [PRODUCT$P,PYE] and in AUTHORIZE there's an identifier called
    PRODUCT$P which shows up as value [000101,177777].
    
    The first member of a UIC group that's created causes AUTHORIZE to make
    this special identifier, and unless you specify otherwise, it makes the
    name to be the same as the Account field in the newly created account.
    This may not be what you want...
    
    I think!
    
    3. Pass.

.. define logicals (SYSTEM,EXEC) to reduce the length of the names of some 
   of libraries entered? 

>>  2. Can anyone explain to me how the Group Identifier field is used?
---
This is intended for sites that prefer to use alphanumeric identifiers for
their UIC Group numbers, e.g. (DEPT_X,100) rather than (320,100). The 
alphanumeric UIC group identifier must exist already. It can be entered in 
the Group Identifier field. If it doesn't match the UIC Group # already 
entered in the field above, then the user has the option to change the
number or move on ("This identifier will modify the UIC group number; 
proceed? (Y/N)").

>>  3. Is there any use for the Node field, and if there is, what is it.

[at thsi point Graham Pye has just informed me that he's already answered
 this note, probably much more accurately, but here's my reply anyway!]
Neither GAP or I know exactly what MNODE (multinode) is used for. We'll
have to wait for a Mail Developer to help us out... I have found that it's
used in network update (SMNETUPDT.SCP), so perhaps that's a clue...

Do you mean NODE or MNODE? Assuming you mean NODE, it's yet another hangover 
from V1 days, when some users used to have their ALL-IN-1 mail sent off to 
another node. The Mail code will still perform this function (it never 
forgets!) so leave it blank.

669.4Thanks again!POBOX::LIDENTue May 12 1992 15:227
    I was looking for NODE not MNODE.
    
    Thanks everyone for your help.
