3153.0. "XAPI toolkit and prereqs" by IJSAPL::DEWIJK (GJ from the Dutchlands) Fri Mar 21 1997 19:31

    Hi,
    
    When a customer wants to develop an own XAPI program.
    What does he need on his development system?
    
    From the SPD I read 'VMS and DECnet OSI'
    
    - Why does he need OSI?
    - He does not need the MTA itself?
    
    Thanks for a clarification.
    GJ

3153.1	The XAPI uses OSI	ZUR01::ASHG	Grahame Ash @RLE	`Mon Mar 24 1997 07:55`	7
	Hi GJ, If he doesn't have the MTA locally, then he needs the MTA Base Subset, which is mainly the XAPI shareable images, which are linked against. These, I believe, use OSI to talk to the MTA. Note 2665 has some words on this. grahame
3153.2	doubts..	IJSAPL::DEWIJK	GJ from the Dutchlands	`Mon Mar 24 1997 18:55`	15
	Hi Grahame. To me, your note and 2665 are in contradiction to each other. 2665 tells me that the mta base kit can talk to an MTA without the need of OSI in the mta-base system. But the bottom line is that besides VMS and OSI also the MTA base kit is required? Does this mean that the SPD is wrong? And I still don't understand why OSI is required, obviously the mta base kit does not requires it anymore... Who can shine a light on this.. GJ

	This isn't an official statement, but assuming you have: Node A: agent application, MTA base kit (specifically MTA$XAPI_SHR.EXE) - talking to - Node B: Full MTA then I believe node A does not need OSI; DECnet phase IV will do. Node B will however need DECnet/OSI, if for no other reason than that the MTA uses DEC X.500, and that product requires DECnet/OSI. Scott

	Hi Scott, thanks so for a development only system. the mta base kit will be sufficient.
