System-related Screens The System-related screens allow you to specify details of data and security structure for the local computer. You use these screens to modify: * Local Control Data * System User Information * Server Availability * Control of Directory Updates * HP DeskManagerPLUS Maintenance Processes The system-related screens in the following section are: * System Menu * Local Control Data Screen * System User Details Menu * User Configuration Templates Information * User Password Composition Screen * Capability Groups Information * System Reporting * Servers Information * Server List * Directory Updates Menu * Directory Updates Reporting Control * Sequence Information * Garbage Collection Information System Menu The System Menu lets you access screens where you specify details of data and security structure for the local computer. This menu is reached by pressing System Menu at the Configuration Main Menu.System Menu You select one of the following options: Data Screen Lets you configure operational information for the local computer. Sys User Menu Lets you access the screens where you define: * User configuration templates. You only use this screen if you have HP DeskManagerPLUS installed. * User password compositions. You only use this screen if you have HP DeskManagerPLUS installed. * User Capability groups. Report Menu Lets you define whether: * Informational and Warning messages will be displayed on the system console. * Informational messages will appear on printed output. * Servers running under the Supervisor will produce printed output. Server Screen Lets you define the times when the HP Desk servers can be run. Updates Menu Lets you access the screens where you control sequenced directory updates and control where the directory update reports are sent. GColl Screen Lets you prioritize the activity of the Garbage Collector. You only use this screen if you have HP DeskManagerPLUS installed. Also, you can return to the Configuration Main Menu or refresh the screen if it becomes corrupted. Local Control Data Information The Local Control Data Information screen lets you configure information that is used by the local computer. This screen is reached by pressing Data Menu at the System Menu.Local Control Data Information The screen fields and their values are: Physical Name of the Local Computer The name is extracted from the database and is displayed automatically. It cannot be changed. Maximum Item Size A 5-digit field that defines the maximum size of basic item that can be copied into HP Desk or received from a remote computer. The initial value is 20 Kbytes. Maximum Composite Item Size is This 5-digit field defines the maximum number of parts that a message received from a remote computer can contain. This limit does not apply to composite items (such as messages, packages, and folders) created on the local system. The default is 20 items. Offset from Greenwich Mean Time is The time difference between Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and local time is in the form hh:mm. Where hh is an integer between 23 and -23 representing hours, and mm is an integer between 00 and 59 representing minutes. Locations east of Greenwich, UK would have a positive number and locations west of Greenwich have a negative number. For example, when it is 2pm in London (GMT), it is 9am in New York--five hours earlier. Therefore a computer in New York would have an Offset from GMT of -5.00. If either half is left blank, the value of the whole field is assumed to be zero. By default the value is 0:00. Work Area Limit Allows you to specify a system-wide limit to the disk space for users' Work Areas. This limit can be changed for each user in the User Information 2 screen or with the default User Configuration Templates Information screen. To specify the limit in sectors, type a value up to 9-digits long. By default, blank spaces signify there is no limit. Filing Cabinet Limit Allows you to specify a system-wide limit to the disk space taken by users' Filing Cabinets. This limit can be changed for each user in the User Information 2 screen or with the default User Configuration Templates Information screen. To specify the limit in sectors, type a value up to 9 digits long. By default, blank spaces signify there is no limit. The Default User to which messages from Foreign Systems should be sent that have invalid user names For FSC and HP Desk Intrinsics gateways, the user name and mailnode of a user must be configured to receive any undeliverable mail. Primary Default Routing Computer For networks; the name of a computer or gateway that is to be the first step in the route for any mail addressed to a mailnode, for which no route is specified. Secondary Default Routing Computer For networks; the name of an alternative computer or gateway that is to be the route for unrouted mailnodes. This is used whenever the primary route is unavailable. Route Priority For networks; the priority of mail allowed to be transported over this route. Blank means no restriction. A means deferred mail only. B means normal and deferred mail only. Default is blank. Do you want to use the update sequencing mechanism? Type Y to enable the sequenced directory updates facility. N disables sequencing which is the default. Maximum Number of NS slave trucks You tailor the behaviour of the NS transport system by specifying the maximum number of NS Slave Trucks that may run concurrently. The monitor imposes this limit on the overall number of incoming Master Truck connections, from all the remote computers in the HP Desk network. The maximum number of NS Slave Trucks allowed is 36. By default this value is 16. Receive only from configured NS computers Type Y to use this security restriction, so that all NS Master Truck connections are verified. The local computer only accepts an incoming Master Truck if the recorded IP address for the remote computer matches the one on the incoming Truck's computer. Type N so that all Master Truck connections are not restricted. By default this field is N. Maximum Number of Idle NS Trucks The maximum number of idle NS Slave Trucks is 36. In practice 2 or 3 is probably the maximum you will need to configure. System User Details Menu The System User Details Menu provides you with access to the screens that allow you to configure templates of user profiles, ensure users set passwords, and name the capability groups to which users belong. This screen is reached by pressing System User Menu at the System Menu.System User Details Menu You select one of the following options: System Menu Returns you to the System Menu. Template Menu Lets you set up and modify user templates. Password Menu Allows you to ensure that users set a password, set control requirements, and the dates that the passwords expire. Cap Grps Menu Lets you name the capability groups to which users belong. Also, you can refresh the screen if it becomes corrupted. User Configuration Templates Information The User Configuration Templates Information screen, allows you to set up and modify templates that can be used for the subsequent configuration of users, in batch. The default User Configuration Template (called DEFAULT) also determines the settings of the items on the User Configuration Screen 2. You reach the screen by pressing Template Menu at the System User Menu.User Configuration Templates Information Configuration Template Name A 16-character alphanumeric field. The default Template called DEFAULT, is automatically created. Work Area Limit Allows you to specify a limit to the disk space taken by the Work Area of users configured by this template. This limit over-rides the system-wide default limit. The system-wide default limit is configured in the Local Control Data screen. To specify the limit in sectors, type a value up to 9-digits long. By default, blank spaces signify there is no limit. Filing Cabinet Limit Allows you to specify a limit to the disk space taken by Filing Cabinet of users configured by this template. This limit over-rides a system-wide default limit, if one is configured in the Data Information screen. To specify the limit in sectors, type a value up to 9 digits long. By default, blank spaces signify there is no limit. Default Function Key File The name of the file in the MAILCONF group of the HPOFFICE account, details the function key set that is available to users configured with this template. By default this file is called SOFTKEYS. Default User Profile File The name of the file in the MAILCONF group of the HPOFFICE account specifies the user template profile. By default this file is called USERCONF. If you have created other user template profiles, you can specify the name of the file to be used, by users configured with this template. Access: The access rights you assign to a user template. For each of these fields, type Y if a user with this template is to have access to the facility. Type N if the user is not. Read Allows a user with this template to read or open mail items. To be able to print items, the user must have Read and CopyWA capabilities. The default value is Y. CopyFC Allows a user with this template to use the COPY command to file items in the Filing Cabinet. Any user can access the Filing Cabinet and read the public folders, with or without this capability. The default value is Y. Delete Allows a user, configured with this template, to use the DELETE command. The default value is Y. Create Allows a user with this template to create new mail items, copy mail items, and use the SEND command. The default value is Y. CopyWA Allows a user with this template to use the COPY command to copy items to the Work Area. For a user with this template to be able to print items, they must have both Read and CopyWA capabilities. The default value is Y. Edit Allows a user with this template to amend mail items in the Out Tray, Work Area, or List Area. The default value is Y. Mail Allows a user with this template to MAIL messages to other users. Default value is Y. Calendar Allows a user with this template to access the Calendar/Diary. To READ, FILE, CREATE, COPY, or EDIT items in the Calendar/Diary, the user must also have those capabilities. The default value is Y. Autofile Allows a user with this template to use the AUTOFILE command to file incoming or outgoing messages automatically in the Filing Cabinet. The default value is N. MPE Allows a user with this template to issue MPE commands from within HP Desk. The default value is N. Special Capabilities: The capability groups of which users with this template are members. To make a user with this template a member, type Y next to the name of the group. The default is N for all capability groups except the Everyone group. Groups 1 to 16 are defined by HP Desk, as follows: Everyone All users are automatically members of this group. This value cannot be changed. SysAdmin Gives a user with this template System Administrator capability. LoclAdmin Gives a user with this template Local Administrator capability. Script Gives a user with this template the capability to install and remove script files. PubDl Gives a user with this template the capability to delete items from the Public Distribution Lists folder.

HelpInstl Gives a user with this template the capability to install and remove Help pages for the system. NetAdmin Gives a user with this template Network Administrator capability. FormInstl Gives a user with this template the capability to install and remove VPLUS/3000 forms for the system. 10-16 Reserved for future use by HP Desk. User Definable Capabilities You can specify membership of any of the 48 user-definable capability groups. The names of these groups are defined in the Group Capabilities Information screen. They are identified here by their number, which should be read vertically from left to right. (So the leftmost is group 17 and the rightmost is group 64.) To make a user with this template a member, move the cursor below the number of the group and type Y. The default is not to give user membership of any group, so the value is N. When you've completed the screen, select the appropriate function key. You can display a list of user templates by pressing List. User Password Composition Screen The User Password Composition Screen allows you to ensure: * Users set a password. * Users change passwords at regular intervals. * Users control the password composition requirements. You reach the screen by pressing Password Menu at the System User Menu. By default, all password settings are set to off. Users are then able to create their own passwords.
NOTE The Password controls are effective for HP Desk user interface sessions. For HP Desk user interface sessions running in batch for AdvanceMail and NewWave Mail, and for HP Desk Intrinsic sessions, the logon will be permitted to proceed without having to change the password.
User Password Composition Screen Minimum length of password (0..8) (zero or space means no restriction) The value entered in this field defines the minimum number of characters that a user must use to create a password. The value includes zero and can be up to a maximum value of eight characters. Zero denotes that no password is necessary. If any other value is set this forces users to use a password with a minimum length set to that number of characters. The default value is 0. (No Password required.) Maximum sequence of the same character (0..7) (Zero or space means no restriction) You specify the maximum number of consecutive characters that can be the same in any password. Please note that upper and lower case characters are treated as unique characters. The values range from zero through to seven. For example, with a field value set to 3: rTTTfm password accepted aaaa password not accepted AaAaAaAa password accepted Must have upper case Type Y in this field to indicate that any future user passwords must have at least one upper case character in it. Type N in this field to indicate that it is not neccessary for any future user passwords to include upper case characters, before the password is accepted. The default value is N. For example with a value of Y in this field: aqrtf34 password not accepted aqrtF34 password accepted Must have lower case Type Y in this field to indicate that any future user passwords must have at least one lower case character in it. Type N in this field to indicate that it is not neccessary for any future user passwords to include lower case characters, before the password is accepted. The default is no restriction. For example, with a value of Y in this field: AQRTF34 password not accepted aQRTF34 password accepted Must have numeric characters Type Y in this field to indicate that any future user passwords must have at least one numeric character in it. Type N in this field to indicate that it is not neccessary for any future user passwords to include numeric characters, before the password is accepted. If the password settings are changed so that some user passwords no longer comply, these users are requested to change their password so that it complies with the neccessary changes, at the next sign-on time.
NOTE None of the password composition rules apply when the user-interface is operating in Asian Language (16-bit) mode.
Password change frequency (Zero or space means no restriction) Type in the number of days that must pass before a user is required to change their passwords. If a user does not change their password in the required number of days, they will be prompted to do so when they next sign-on. In this situation a user will be prevented from using any of their last four HP Desk passwords or any similar ones. A value of zero or space entered in this field indicates that no period of time is set for when a password will expire. To action the changes select the Modify key. Capability Groups Information The Capability Groups Information screen lets you name the capability groups to which users may belong. This screen is reached by pressing Cap Grps Menu at the System User Menu.Capability Groups Information Names of Special Capability Groups You can change the names of any of the HP Desk-defined capability groups. Type the new name against the group's number. The default names are shown in the example above. If you make changes, take care to ensure that the new names reflect the capability of the group. Names of User Definable Capability Groups You can specify names for up to 48 capability groups of your own to which users may belong. (Users are assigned membership of these groups in User Information screen 2.) Type a name up to 16-characters long. See User Information 2 in this chapter for more information. Once you've completed the screen, select an appropriate function key. System Reporting The System Reporting screen allows you to choose whether information and warning messages should appear on the system console or be printed out. The System Reporting Menu is reached by pressing REPORT MENU at the System Menu.System Reporting Information Informational messages produced by HP Desk... Type Y to display Informational messages on the system console. Type N so that Informational messages are not displayed on the system console. Warning messages produced by HP Desk... Type Y to display Warning messages on the system console. Type N so that Warning messages are not displayed on the system console. Informational messages produced by the Master trucks... Type Y to print out Informational messages from Master Trucks. Type N so that Informational messages from Master Trucks are not printed. Spooled output for all of the Servers running under the Supervisor... Type N to print a list of any of the processes that have run under the Supervisor you have been running on your system, every time the Supervisor is shut down: * The Mailroom (MAILROOM) * The Transport Manager (TMANAGER) and Transport Router (TROUTER) * The HP File/Library Request controller (LIBRARY) * The AdvanceMail and NewWave Mail Host Monitor (PCMAIL) * EFT/FSC trucks (EFT, FSCARPA, FSCAREF) * Garbage Collector (SHREDDER) Type Y to produce listings are as deferred spool files. The listings are not printed but can be examined using the standard MPE utility. Server Information The Server Information Menu lets you define the times when the servers are to run under the HP Desk Supervisor. Requests made while a server is unavailable will queue, and execute once the server is available. Performance on heavily loaded systems should improve when servers are prevented from running at peak times. For example, the ADMIN (the Directory Updates) server could be disabled from 6:00 to 18:00, thus stopping directory updates from being processed during the day. The Server Information Menu is reached by pressing Server Screen at the System Menu.Server Information Screen Server Name The name of the server. The main servers are: ADMIN The directory updates server (*ADMIN) SEARCHER A server used for performing searches in the HP Desk Filing Cabinet EVERYONE This is used to send a message to all users on a particular mailnode. Server Availability Each four character field represents the time span of one hour, where each of the four characters fields represent a fifteen minute period: 0 Server not available for this period of fifteen minutes. 1 Server available for this period of fifteen minutes. Server List A list of the selected servers is displayed by pressing List at the Server information screen. An example display is shown below.Server List Directory Updates Menu The Directory Updates Menu allows you access the screens where you set the destination of the directory update reports, and modify the directory updates sequencing control information.Directory Updates Menu You select from the following options: Updates Screen Allows you to control where the directory updates are sent to. Sequence Screen Allows you to modify sequenced directory updates. In addition you can refresh the screen, or return to the System Menu. Directory Updates Reporting Control Use this screen to control the reports of successful and unsuccessful Batch Configuration updates using the ADMIN (Updates) server.Directory Update Reporting Control Report to Originator: These fields specify whether the originator will receive reports of successful and unsuccessful updates. Successful directory updates Type Y to send a report to the originator summarizing the results and any successful updates. Type N so that the originator is not sent a report for any successful update. This is overridden if the originator has set a reply acknowledgment on the original message. The default value is Y. Unsuccessful directory updates Type Y to send a report to the originator of any unsuccessful update. Type N so that the originator is not sent a report for any unsuccessful update. The default value is N. Report to user: These fields specify the name, location and sublocation of an existing user who is to receive reports of successful and unsuccessful updates, according to the following flags. The name field is 36 alphanumeric characters. The location field is 6-alphanumeric characters in length. The sublocation field is 2-alphanumeric characters long. Successful directory updates Type Y to send a report to the named user of any successful updates. Type N so that the named user is not sent a report for any successful updates. The default value is N, where reports are sent to the General Delivery on the machine, on which the updates are applied. Unsuccessful directory updates Type Y to send a report to the named user of any unsuccessful updates. Type N so that the named user is not sent a report for any unsuccessful updates. The default value is N, where reports are sent to the General Delivery on the machine, on which the updates are applied.
NOTE These reporting characteristics are modifiable in batch from other remote computers. If a batch transaction file containing a transaction that modifies these reporting characteristics is mailed to the ADMIN server these changes will not be effected until the next transaction is sent. That is, whether or not the originator or another specific user receives the successful or unsuccessful transactions is determined by the settings before this file was sent.
Sequence Information The Sequence Information Menu lets you control sequenced directory updates. The screen is in two parts: the upper part shows information on outgoing sequenced updates, while the lower part displays information about incoming sequenced updates. Sequenced updates are an optional feature which, when required, are enabled from the Local Control Data screen. Do not use this screen unless you are using the Sequence Updating facility. The screen is reached by pressing Sequence Screen at the Directory Updates Menu.Sequence Information Next Outgoing Sequence Number The characters ----- are displayed if sequencing has not been used before. Type in a starting number for the sequenced updates. Start at 1 unless you have a reason for choosing another number. When sequencing is enabled, the sequence number of the next outgoing sequenced update is displayed. If the number is incorrect it can be changed from this screen by entering a new number. Sequencing Administrator The name of the Sequencing Administrator. This person must be a local user. Send TO : (DL)" " The name of a Distribution List in the List Area of the Sequencing Administrator. Outgoing sequenced updates will be sent to this Distribution List. Incoming Sequence Numbers The most recent sequence number is displayed for each computer from which sequenced updates have been received. If there are more than 40 computers, use next page and prev page to page through the list. Modify the sequence numbers for specific computers if a sequence has got out-of-step. If you require to delete an entry cut out the name of computer concerned. The effect of this is to delete the computer name and the associated sequence number from the sequencing table. An entry should only be deleted in this way if sequencing has been switched off at the computer which generates the updates. If an entry is deleted and another sequenced update is received from the computer concerned, it will be treated as an update from a new computer (that is, it will processed and a new entry will be made in the sequencing table).
NOTE New computer information cannot be added at this screen. This is done automatically when the first update is received from another computer.
Garbage Collection Information Use this screen if HP DeskManagerPLUS is installed. Use the Garbage Collection Information screen to control when garbage, (including all waste emptied from users' Waste Baskets) is physically deleted from the HP DeskManagerPLUS database. This facility is to enable confirmation of the Garbage Collector in such a way to minimize the impact on the rest of the system. For example, you may decide to run the Garbage Collector at a low E priority, or not at all, during the times when the system is the most busy. This process releases space in the Item-Header, Item-Structure and Item-Content datasets.Garbage Collection Information Concurrent Garbage Collection Use these fields to control when, and at which MPE priority the Garbage Collector is run. Each four character field represents the time span of one hour, where each of the four characters fields represent a fifteen minute period. Values in these fields have the following meanings: C Garbage Collection process active during this period running in the C queue. D Garbage Collection process active during this period running in the D queue. E Garbage Collection process active during this period running in the E queue. X/or Garbage Collection process pauses. It will not collect garbage space for that time period. Perform Garbage Collection/Structure check during Mailmaint Type Y if you require Mailmaint to perform garbage collection, Waste Bin emptying and structure checking. Type N if you require this phase of Mailmaint to be skipped. By default this is Y. This ensures that Mainlmaint will perform in the same way as HP Desk. However if you are using concurrent garbage collection, not only can the frequency of Mailmaint be reduced but its duration can be substantially reduced by setting the flag to N. To action this screen select Modify.
