3236.0. "One system - 2 facility code" by PASVC::STEVENTAM (Steven Tam @PAS) Mon Sep 06 1993 10:57

I'm running A1 V2.4 on VMS V5.5-2.

Can I run 1 ALL-IN-1 systems with 2 facility codes?
That means, some users on the system may use @AAA and some user use @BBB.

I think the incoming mails can be done by setting up mailbox in MR.
However, my concern is outgoing mail.

Since the outgoing mail will use the logical OA$MTI_AREA when transferring
to other remote sites so that receipients can answer the mail successfully.

Now I want to have 2 such logicals, e.g.

      one is "at A1 at NODEA at AAA"
the other is "at A1 at NODEA at BBB"

Can this be done?  If yes, how?

Thanks in advance,
Steven.

	I fear that this may not be as easy as it should be. It should be possible to just redefine OA$MTI_AREA in some users' login.com files to point to the other area. However, I think ALL-IN-1 insists on its logicals being defined in the system table. Usually this is an excellent idea to ensure no-one can mess around with the data or ALL-IN-1 itself, but maybe it's not necessary for this logical. Hoping to be proved wrong! grahame
3236.2	Not success	PASVC::STEVENTAM	Steven Tam @PAS	`Tue Sep 07 1993 05:32`	15
	re:.1 Thanks for your reply! However, I redefined OA$MTI_AREA logicals at $ prompt in my own account (no privilege) and so invoke ALL-IN-1. Then I create and send a mail to myself using remote addressing, the field of OA$MTI_AREA display in the received mail is the one in SYSTEM table and not the one I redefined. I've tried PROCESS and even JOB table. Therefore, is there any other method? Steven.

	As I feared. Unless someone comes in and contradicts my theory of the logical having to be /system, I think you may be out of luck. But I think you have a case for an SPR, to try and get the restriction removed in the future (not much comfort for the customer, I realise) g

	re: .3 My assumption is that no large adjustment in current A1 config. Customization likes you mentioned is what I want. However, you mean this logical can only be on /SYSTEM table at this moment/version. Am I right? If yes, do you mean that 2 fac codes in 1 system cannot work out now? Steven.
