NJE/PROFS Configuration

To configure a PROFS channel successfully the following parameters need to be addressed. TABLE A-1 lists the fields that need to match on the server and the client side. If your input does not match, the connection between the client and the server will fail.

TABLE  A-1   PROFS Required Matching Entries on the Server and the Client

Server-Side Entries	Client-Side Entries
NJE Server Port	Server TCP Port
NJE Host Name	Local Node
NJE Peer Name	Remote Node, Remote LU Name
LU Name	Local LU Name
NJE Buffer Size	NJE Buffer Size

TABLE A-2 and TABLE A-3 list the significance of the server and client parameters, their possible values, and examples. Parameters that need to match on both the server and client sides are shown in boldface type. They provides a worksheet to enable you to compile configuration information prior to beginning your installation session (that is the last column of the table is left blank so that you may fill in the parameter that applies to your configuration).

To use this worksheet, copy it and fill in each blank with the parameter specific to your site. When all pages are complete, use the information to configure each screen as presented by the Administration Console or the Client installation software.

TABLE  A-2   PROFS Server Configuration Parameters and Worksheet

Server-Side Parameters	Description	Example	Your Parameter
Restart Automatically	If selected, it starts the channel on SMCS startup. If you do not select this option, you have to manually start the channel from the Administration Console.	3	Indicate your setting in the provided checkbox: o
Retain Processed Messages	Messages are normally deleted from queues after they are handled. Checking this parameter keeps a copy of each message in the queue even after the message has been delivered. Since processed messages may be deleted every night, selecting this parameter helps preserve the messages to enable you to go back to them in order to troubleshoot any problems.	3	Indicate your setting in the provided checkbox: o
Lookup Addresses in Directory	If this parameter is checked, the addresses in messages processed by this channel will be looked up in the directory. Without the directory lookup facility all the messages must contain fully qualified SMCS addresses in order to be delivered.	3	Indicate your setting in the provided checkbox: o
Poll Interval (in minutes)	This indicates how often you want the MS-Mail client to check for messages. The value entered indicated in minutes.	1	Choose your poll interval from the pull down menu.
Alias User Name Format	This controls the format of the user name alias automatically generated when a new user is added to the directory. The rule is formed using strings and variables which represent name attributes stored in the directory. $g Given Name $i Initials $s Surname $q Generation Qualifier	$+1g&+7s	Fill in your response in the provided text field.
Header Style	The header styles control the placement of headers within a message; whether at the top or at the bottom. To view different values click on the box right next to the Header Styles label. The default style is All at Top, None at Bottom.	All at Top, None at Bottom	Choose your header style from the pull down menu.
Gateway Node	The gateway node indicates the name of the PROFS gateway node used by SMCS. THis must be added on the PROFS system.	Check with the PROFS system admin to find out the name of the post office	Fill in your response in the provided text field.
NJE host name	The NJE name for the virtual NJE node.	SUN1	Fill in your response in the provided text field.
NJE peer name	The NJE name for adjacent IBM system.	FAILUREA	Fill in your response in the provided text field.
NJE server name	The TCP/IP domain name for OS/2 system.	13.pclan.eng. alpha.com	Fill in your response in the provided text field.
NJE server port	The TCP port number that the OS/2 system is using to track NJE service requests.	5109	Fill in your response in the provided text field.
Directory Synchronization	None--This indicates that you do not want this channel to participate in any directory synchronization processes. Full--The very first time you create and configure a channel, choose this option to participate in a thorough, complete directory synchronization process. Since this is a comprehensive synchronization procedure, it is time consuming. Full Foreign--This option helps resynchronize channels apart from the current channel. For instance, though your MS-Mail channel may already be synchronized, your cc:Mail, NJE/PROFS, or ldap channels may not be. By choosing this option, the directory information for the other channels will also be synchronized. Incremental--After your channel participates in a full directory synchronization process, to register any subsequent directory changes, choose this option. It helps incorporate your directory changes and resynchronize the directory information.	Full	Indicate your directory synchronization choice from the pull down menu.
Client Address	Enter the client address. This will be of the form: user@node.channel.host	admin@node. channel.host	Fill in your response in the provided text field.
Propagation of New/Deleted Entries in Directory	When the directories are synchronized, both parameters specify how the propagation of new or deleted entries flow to and from the directory. To select an option, click on the box next to propagation label.	Bi-Directional	Choose to propagate new/deleted entries in the directory from the pull down menu. Retain the default values if you are unsure.
Propagation of Modified Entries in Directory	When the directories are synchronized, this parameters specifies how the propagation of modified entries flow to and from the directory.	To Central Directory	Choose to propagate modified entries in the directory from the pull down menu. To select an option, click on the box next to propagation label. Retain the default values if you are unsure.
