Private/Urgent Message Handling

Because AMIS does not support Special Delivery Options, the Stratagy proprietary options such as
"private" or "urgent" are striped off when the message is sent via AMIS. These messages at the
receiving mailbox are handled as normal messages.
However by using the Notify record, Stratagy can use the "urgent" option to determine the timing
of the transmission. For example, normal messages can be delivered after 5:00 p.m. and the urgent
messages immediately.

Notification

Each remote node is represented by a Gateway mailbox in the local node. The node number is the
mailbox's User ID. When a message is addressed to a remote node, it is placed in the Gateway
mailbox, with information in its header that identifies the remote box number, and the fact that it is
an AMIS-deliverable message.
A notify task is started to deliver messages to the remote site. There can be several notification tasks
for a Gateway mailbox. For each notification task, a maximum of nine messages can be transmitted.
The number of messages that can be stored in the Gateway mailbox is set by the system maximum.
If a notify task was started as the result of an urgent message being placed in the Gateway mailbox,
it is only allowed to deliver the urgent message to the remote node. The urgent status is stripped
from the message when it is sent.
AMIS Notification Templates
Two templates exist:
•
AMIS DELIVERY – for Gateway mailboxes
•
AMIS PROXY – for Proxy mailboxes
AMIS Tokens
The notification token program in a Gateway mailbox must use an "AMIS delivery"
which is responsible for actually sending the message to the remote site.
Note
AmisNodeList
This is a list of known nodes in the network. Each entry on the list contains the node's User ID, a
comment identifying the node and the AmisSystem Number (the node number plus the node's
System Identification Number).
The list displays the:
•
Mailboxes that have the Gateway Box field set to Yes
•
Mailbox number of AMIS mailboxes
•
Comments of AMIS mailboxes
•
AMIS system number
