2573.0. "Repost OA$MTI_DATA:*.NBS files ???" by COPCLU::ELIN (Elin Christensen @DMO, DTN 857-2406) Thu Apr 15 1993 15:56

Is there any way of reposting NBS files left in OA$MTI_DATA?

At a customer site the RSD housekeeping procedure had gone bananas and had
renamed 2000 shared directories in SM_SHARED_DIR_MASTER to disk::[dir]  
- with two colons - so that ALL-IN-1 could not deliver mail to users in
that mail area. After having corrected the directory names, we would like
to repost the lost mail.

It seems that MB$TOOLS:MB$REPOST cannot handle messages that are split up
into envelope and contents. Is there another way of reposting ALL-IN-1 IOS
mail?

2573.1It's v2.4 and MR v3.1BCOPCLU::ELINElin Christensen @DMO, DTN 857-2406Fri Apr 16 1993 09:378
I forgot to tell that it is ALL-IN-1 v2.4 and Message Router v3.1B.

What can we do with these 150 .NBS files (that are not corrupt)? 
If MB$REPOST cannot be used on NBS files in OA$DATA, - does ALL-IN-1 then
have it's own REPOST command for messages that have been divided into
envelope and contents?

Hi Elin,

I'm a little surprised that no-one's answered this yet, as I thought it was 
one of those situations that very site hits eventually! (Perhaps the Atlanta 
CSC could help?).

I think you've summed up the Repost situation - I don't believe MR can repost 
ALL-IN-1 messages, and ALL-IN-1 has no capability built in.

However, it must be possible to hack it! Though it's be very messy. The Sender 
queue entry has 2 formats - one of these contains the .NBS filenames for the 
content and envelope. If you can get an entry in the queue which refers to one 
of your messages . . .

2573.3Possible solution ..AIMTEC::VOLLER_IGordon (T) Gopher for PresidentMon Apr 26 1993 19:0513
    Elin,
    
    	Sorry I didn't get round to answering this earlier, I've been out
    	of the office for a while.
    
    	Anyway, we had a similar problem here at the Atlanta CSC a while
    	back and eventually resolved it by writing some code to call 
    	back to ALL-IN-1 routines to repost the messages. I'll forward
    	more information via Mail.
    
    Cheers,
    
    Iain.
2573.4A new SM function?IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeTue Apr 27 1993 14:185
    Iain,
    
    Are these routines robust enough for us to put into the product?

2573.5Mailed to you ...AIMTEC::VOLLER_IGordon (T) Gopher for PresidentTue Apr 27 1993 16:1411
    Graham,
    
    	I've mailed you the routine.
    
    	I think it would be pretty straightforward to provide this
    	functionality within SM. However, I'm not sure of the demand
    	for it ?
    
    Cheers,
    
    Iain.
2573.6Thanks! - This should be in the product!COPCLU::ELINElin Christensen @DMO, DTN 857-2406Wed Apr 28 1993 09:4713
    Hi Iain
    
    Thanks for your routines.
    
    I have often been asked "What can we do with the .NBS files in
    OA$DATA?"  And the only answer I could give, was "Delete them!"
    
    Now, when I know there is a way of doing a repost, I would appreciate,
    if we could get this functionality included in ALL-IN-1 as a menu
    choice under SM MM (Manage Messaging).
    I'll submit an SPR with an enhancement suggestion.
    
    Elin
2573.7NBS files are quite useful reallyIOSG::SHOVEDave Shove -- REO2-G/M6Thu Apr 29 1993 16:218
    The main thing you (or someone else) can do with them is to run NBSDMP
    (MB$TOOLS:MRNBSDMP) on them.
    
    While the output from this is pretty technical stuff, it's fairly easy
    to spot the name of the sender and the subject. So at least you have a
    chance to refer back to the sender of the message.
    
    Dave.
2573.8Is tool still around / needed in V3.0A ??COPCLU::GLARGAARDAllan Glargaard, DS @DMOThu Jul 21 1994 15:489
    Of course our big customer has run into this problem now that Elin is
    on vacation.
    
    Is the tool to repost .NBS files from ALL-IN-1 still available? Does it
    work with ALL-IN-1 V3.0A or is there an in-built function to do the
    same?
    
    Best regards,
    Allan
