How It Works
The steps performed by HP ALLBASE/BRW at report execution (when HP
BRW-Desk/XL has been selected to deliver a report or output file to users
on the HPDesk network) are listed and explained in detail below.
* HP ALLBASE/BRW signs on to HPDesk using the sender name and
password defined in the appropriate HP ALLBASE/BRW BRWCONF
configuration file. A number of retries will be made if this
sender is already signed on to HP Desk. The HP ALLBASE/BRW
execution program (BRWEXEC.PUB.SYS) aborts if no sender(s) can
sign on to HP Desk.
* The HP ALLBASE/BRW execution program collects the data to be
distributed by HP Desk. When a message is completed, HP
ALLBASE/BRW closes the files and gives each a unique name. The
unique names are in the form Rsssssss, where:
R standard prefix
sssssss milliseconds since midnight.
* HP ALLBASE/BRW writes the message file (which includes the
information necessary to distribute the message) and sends the
messages to HP Desk.
* HPDesk either accepts the message (if the name address information
is correct) or rejects it.
* HP ALLBASE/BRW writes the delivery audit trail messages.
* HP ALLBASE/BRW deletes the message file if it has been accepted by
HP Desk.
HPDesk will accept a message only if it is adequately addressed and not
too big for the capacity of the HPDesk database.
