1301.0. "ACA Services Storage Classes to ALL-IN-1 File Cabinet." by TASTY::JEFFERY (I do not think you wanted to do that!) Mon Aug 24 1992 18:35

Hi,

I've looked in the ACA Services notes file, and haven't
seen anything.

Has anyone done ACA Services storage classes for the ALL-IN-1 file
cabinet.

As far as I can see, this opens up the File Cabinet to lots more
applications.

Is it tricky?

I know nothing about programming ALL-IN-1

Mark.

Hi,

I have the ACA notes conferences in my notebook, and I will
probably ask there too.

Just thought I ought to ask here.

Sorry about the delay in answering:

      If you are new to ALL-IN-1, do you know anything about the File 
      Cabinet Server?

      This is a separate application / program (bought as a part of 
      ALL-IN-1) that acts as the "go-between" between various clients and 
      the actual document storage in the ALL-IN-1 File Cabinet.

      The clients can be other ALL-IN-1 systems distributed around the 
      network, or TeamLinks on Windows-3 today; DOS PC's, UNIX or VMS 
      workstations, other applications all possible in the future.

      The specifications and API for the File Cabinet Server are probably 
      available to internal groups. They would allow your application to 
      not need to worry about the storage of the documents... just call the 
      FCS, and it could store your information into the File Cabinet. This 
      File Cabinet could then be fully distributed through the VAX 
      network... 
      and if my desires of the future are anything to go by (!) then you 
      will be able to take advantage of a possible future ability of the 
      FCS to address different File Cabinet structures, and store some 
      documents in a File Cabinet on a UNIX system, some in Windows-NT, and 
      others in the "traditional" ALL-IN-1 File Cabinet. 

      From the users point of view, I need to specify a DRAWER, a FOLDER 
      and a DOCUMENT NAME - and the system stroes or retrieves my file as I 
      want.
      From the system point of view I can also specify the file type 
      (spreadsheet, mail, document, WPS-PLUS, Word for Windows, Lotus 1-2-3 
      etc etc); as well as various document reservation and locking 
      facilities. and security and access options.

Hope this helps....
      It may not be exactly ACAS - but it is a true document server that 
      allows independance of the data storage (ALL-IN-1 File Cabinet) from 
      the application accessing it (remote ALL-IN-1 system or TeamLinks on 
      a PC).
