2686.1More details please...WOTVAX::64354::DoranI like traffic lightsMon May 10 1993 17:4511
ching-U,

1) Can you supply more details - transferring ALL-IN-1 mail from where to 
where?

2) Which Microsoft Product? You can 'talk' to Microsoft office (Word, Excel 
etc) using TeamLinks and ALL-IN-1 IOS. It depends what you mean by 'talk'.

Cheers,

Andy
2686.2A little more on costingZPOVC::CHINGYUETue May 11 1993 02:5313
    Andy,
    	
    Thanks for the speedy reply.
    
    1)  Customer needs to know the cost of sending a local mail within 
    	ALL-IN-1.
    
    	Is there some kind of a chart specifying the number of active/
    	maximum A1 users a certain CPU can support ?
    
    Regards,
    ching-U

    *    1)  Customer needs to know the cost of sending a local mail within
    *        ALL-IN-1.
    
    
       This would vary a great deal depending on your setup, CPU, disks, the 
       size of the message, the number of addressees etc.  However very 
       roughly on a 6210 to send to 5 addressees consumes 1 to 1.5 seconds of 
       CPU and takes 50 to 100 Direct I/Os. 
    
       When a local mail message is sent then the major events that take place 
       are:
    
       The file containing the message text is copied from the user's area to 
       the shared area. 
    
       Attributes are deleted from the user's DAF and added to the shared DAF
    
       The user's DOCDB is updated.
    
       For every addressee their entry in the PENDING file is updated - if you 
       have a long addressee list this will take the longest time,
    
       A record is added to OA$MTILOG.
    
    
       To find out how long it takes on a system, you can turn on metering 
       (See ALL-IN-1 system management guide). However you will have to do 
       some work on the output before you get an average figure.

       Yes - see conference MRKTNG::ASEPG Note 11.
