4009.0. "French Read Notification" by MQOSWS::M_LEMAY (So long & thanks for all the fish) Mon Mar 21 1994 19:59

    Hi,
    
    I have a question on ALL-IN-1 IOS with TeamLinks.  When a A1 IOS
    (french v3.0) sends a message to a TeamLinks (french v1.1) user and
    request a read confirmation.  That confirmation, to the A1 IOS comes
    back in English.
    
    I did check the logicial names and it seems to be alright but on the
    other hand I would appreciate the expertise of someone else.
    
    The next note will include an output of the logical.

4009.1Wrong ALL-IN-1? wrong conference?AIMTEC::WICKS_AAtlanta's Most (In)famous WelshmanMon Mar 21 1994 20:159
    michel,
    
    since you say the recipient is a TL v1.1 user then they can't be using
    ALL-IN-1 as their mail server. I'd check what they're really using
    and then ask in the TeamLinks conference
    
    regards,

If the TeamLinks V1.1 user is using DEC MAILworks as their mail server, then
an encoded receipt notification will be generated by DEC MAILworks.

ALL-IN-1 V3.0 doesn't understand encoded receipt notifications, so Message
Router converts them to text messages before giving them to ALL-IN-1.

Unfortunately, Message Router doesn't understand French, so it always creates
the receipt notification message in English.  Hence the user gets an English
receipt notification, even though both users might be using French systems.

Note a similar problem (but for a different reason) occurs if a French ALL-IN-1
system requests a receipt notification from, say, a German ALL-IN-1 system;
the French user would get back a German notification.

ALL-IN-1 V3.1 (currently in EFT) does understand encoded receipt notifications,
and it performs the conversion to a text message.  This convesion will occur
in the language of the receiving system, ie French, regardless of the type or
language of the system that generated the encoded notification.

(Note however that the French/German problem above will still occur with a
receipt notification sent from a V3.0 system to a V3.1 system).

I hope that explains it.

Scott,

Thank you for your answer.

You confirm what I already told the customer.  In any case, since ALL-IN-1 IOS will be 
retiring (at that customer site) after the full implementation of TeamLinks the problem will 
go away by itself.
