8. The Kernel Systems Manual tells you how to set up HFS (Host File Server)
devices. (In v8, Chapter 18 on Host Files is pages 229-232.) If your site
is using an HFS device to send mail to and receive mail from another site,
your settings should deviate from the recommendations in the manual as
follows:
Using FileMan:
Select OPTION: ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES
=====
INPUT TO WHAT FILE: COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL// DEVICE
======
NOIS: CMC-0803-31054
EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL// ASK HOST FILE
========
THEN EDIT FIELD: ASK HFS I/O OPERATION
=======
THEN EDIT FIELD: <press enter>
Select DEVICE NAME: HFS <=== Yours may be different
===
ASK HOST FILE: YES// <=== Must be YES
ASK HFS I/O OPERATION: YES// <=== Must be YES
Test Sites: Tennessee Valley HCS (DSM/VMS); Murfreesboro CMOP (Cache/NT);
ASK HOST FILE should be set to YES, so that you will be prompted for
"HOST FILE NAME:". The site creating the host file could accept the default
or select a name. The site reading the host file would enter the name of
the file from the sending site.
ASK HFS I/O OPERATION should be set to YES, so that you will be prompted
"INPUT/OUTPUT OPERATION:". The site creating the host file would answer
"NEW", and the site reading the host file would answer "READONLY".
Charleston CMOP (Cache/NT); Portland, OR (Cache/VMS)
This is what it should look like when you use the options:
Option: Sequential Media Queue Transmission [XMS-SEQ-TRANSMIT]
This option lets you select only those queues which have messages. If
you can't select a queue, it either doesn't exist or it has no messages.
Select DOMAIN NAME: DOMAIN.EXT 1 msgs
DEVICE: HOME// HFS DISK FILE
HOST FILE NAME: TMP.TMP//FORUM.DAT INPUT/OUTPUT OPERATION: ?
Enter one of the following host file input/ouput operation:
R = READONLY
N = NEWVERSION
RW = READ/WRITE
INPUT/OUTPUT OPERATION: N

===========================================================================
[XMS-SEQ-TRANSMIT] fail with the variable ER undefined.
This patch fixes that.
!! A T T E N T I O N !!
IMPORTANT: If you are using the HFS device to receive the mail, you should
either have an HFS_IN device with the Open Parameter set to ReadOnly or set
the ASK HFS I/O OPERATION to YES and choose READONLY when using the device.
NOTE: This patch should be installed during off hours, when user activity
is at a minimum. It has no patch pre-requisites.

If you use the MailMan option for transferring VistA email messages via
disk/tape to another site, you will have problems if the SEND field
setting for the TAPE entry in the Communications Protocol file is wrong.
The SEND field for the TAPE entry must be set to:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
SEND: W XMSG,! ; S XMTRAN="S: "_XMSG D TRAN^XMC1
==
Most of the entries we have found for this don't have the ",!" following
the "W XMSG". Without the ",!" you don't get the line feed at the end of
each line. This causes a buffer overflow when you try to receive the
message. Please look at your entry, and edit, if necessary:
Using FileMan:
Select OPTION: ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES

INPUT TO WHAT FILE: COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL// <press enter>
