Hello,
How does the callable interface/APIs of ALL-IN-1 V3.0 exactly work?
I have a customer who invokes ALL-IN-1 from a COBOL program to use the
WPS-Plus file cabinet as well as E-mail functions both within a node as
well as WAN via Message Router. Invoking the entire ALL-IN-1 image from
another program is much more costly on system resources rather than a
callable interface to the file cabinet (WPS-Plus and e-mail) routines.
They are trying to avoid invoking the entire ALL-IN-1 image to use
less system resources.
As far as I remember, ALL-IN-1 V3.0 has a callable interface. is this
true?
Does this include e-mail routines, etc.so that messages can be
delivered via Message Router off node?
Is the File Cabinet API this callable interface? (I don't have the
documentation to look at), or do you need other things, such as MRIF for
Message Router?

Read the book: "Integrating Applications with ALL-IN-1 V3.0", part
number EY-J850E-DP from Digital Press, authored by John Rhoton. Highly
recommended. You should get lots of ideas there.

In the mean time, how about a faster answer?

| 2333.3 | You can probably do it all with the FCS | IOSG::SHOVE | Dave Shove -- REO2-G/M6 | Fri Feb 26 1993 15:30 | 16 |
The only "callable interface" we ship is the File Cab server API. You
can probably do everything you want with it - apart from accessing
documents in the file cab, you can also send mail (function
OafcSendMail), receive mail (OafcGetNewMail) and even submit scripts to
the script symbiont queue (OafcSubmitScript).
What you can't do is access users' files such as their nicknames etc.
As this is a straightforward RMS file, you may be able to find another
way to access it if you need to. Users' Distribution Lists are of
course documents in the filecab, so you can access those if you need
to.
Alternatively, read John's book if you want to integrate your code ito
the ALL-IN-1 office system.
