2082.0. "Network Master File <-> DDS Synchronizer tool?" by EEMELI::SALMINEN (I&#039;m just a singer in an ALL-IN-1 band) Thu Jan 14 1993 14:55

	One customer asked me for a tool program to synchronize his
	ALL-IN-1 NETWORK MASTER FILE and MAILBUS DDS SUBSCRIBER 
	network address bases.

	They have several ALL-IN-1 nodes (v2.3) using NETWORK MASTER
	FILEs and one cluster which is running DDS also. They run
	weekly Network Update & Network Purge and are quite happy
	to this network file mechanism. (I have made small corrections
	to the scripts&procedures because v2.3 ALL-IN-1 has some
	errors there). They don't want to upgrade to v2.4 neither
	to v3.0 which is another long story.

	They don't want to take DDS into use in the other nodes 
	but only in the cluster node, where it is required for
	the X400.

	The "synchronizer tool" should provide the following services:
 
	1. First build the cluster's DDS Subscriber base from 
	the clusters NETWORK MASTER FILE (which also contains the 
	network addresses of the users of the other nodes).

	2. Secondly they want that modifications done to the 
	NETWORK MASTER FILEs are upgraded to the DDS base also.

	I'm wondering if someone has written this kind of tool or
	perhaps we even have a suitable asset product?  
	I don't want to invent the wheel again.

    Hi,
    
    The MAILbus Directory Synchronizer will do what you are looking for.
    
    Take a look at the Synchronizer Fact Sheet for a summary of its
    features and functions.  Also take a look at the A1-to-DDS synch guide
    which describes the ALL-IN-1 to DDS synchronization process.
    
    Here's a pointer to the Fact Sheet and Management guides:

    For a quote, please send a message to MESSAGING PRACTICE @MEL. You'll
    receive a package via e-mail which describes the service, how it is
    delivered, and how to quote it to the customer.
