1540.2how to use via API (V1.3)BIKINI::ADAEFri Feb 28 1997 12:4422
	Using the bypass option, let's say

	1) The local OFTP service uses OFTP ID: OFTP-ACCESS
        2) The remote (partner) OFTP service identified by the connection
	   Id P382A uses OFTP ID: ODETTE

	then a transmission specific SFID can be supplied by the API like

	status = DECEDI$COMM_SEND ( connectin_id = "P382A", ....
		conn_spec = "ODETTE\VFN\sfid_user_field\OFTP-ACCESS", ..);

	Is this correct ?
	
	There is no additional configuration required (EDIT PROFILE) for the
	local OFTP service to allow all valid values for 'sfid_user_field' ?

	Thanks  for hints and helps...

	Regards
        Albert

    	If you're not going to include the rec_len then it should look 
    	like this...
    
    		"ODETTE\VFN\\sfid_user_field\OFTP-ACCESS",

    	I'm not quite sure what you mean by this.
    
    	Do you want to substitute 'sfid_user_field' with something else
    	from the PROFILE?  What do you mean by `all valid value'?
    	Can you please clarify.
    
    	Thank you.

1540.4Can SFID dynamically asigned ?BIKINI::ADAEMon Mar 03 1997 08:3827

	I mean by `all valid value' a value of up to 8 characters long.

	The question is:

	If an application program calls e.g.

	status = DECEDI$COMM_SEND ( connectin_id = "P382A", ....
		conn_spec = "ODETTE\\223311\OFTP-ACCESS", ..);
	
	Is a corresponding entry configured with 'EDIT PROFILE' for
	connectin_id "P382A" required which contains 

	          "ODETTE\\223311\OFTP-ACCESS"

	in the 'Connection Specific Data' field ?

	Thanks  for hints and helps...

	Regards
        Albert

1540.5Is SFID added by default?BIKINI::ADAEMon Mar 03 1997 12:3916
        Let's assume, the connectin_id "P382A" is configured
	with the 'Connection Specific Data' field ('EDIT PROFILE')

	          "ODETTE\\223311\OFTP-ACCESS"

	If an application program calls
 	    status = DECEDI$COMM_SEND ( connectin_id = "P382A", .....);
        without supplying a 'conn_spec' parameter, is the above
	SFID added to the transmission by default ?
	
	Thanks  for hints and helps ...

           You're correct in .4 and .5.
    
            .5
    
            By supplying the Connection Specific Data in EDIT PROFILE
            it will use those values to override the ones defined in
            the P382A Connection Details and OFTP Parameter Details.
    
            .4
    
            If you supply the Connection Specific Data in the
            DECEDI$COMM_SEND command then those values will be used
            instead of what has been defined in the P382A Connection
            Details and OFTP Parameter Details.   And you shouldn't
    	    have to define the Connection Specific Data in EDIT
    	    PROFILE if you've already included values in the
    	    DECEDI$COMM_SEND command.  You don't have to define
    	    them twice.
