-
- OVERVIEW
-
- The MHS Scheduler provides greater flexibility in configuring MHS
- inter-host communications, and reduces associated telephone charges.
-
- With the MHS Scheduler, the MHS administrator can configure
- different frequencies of forced connections. On a host-by-host basis,
- it is possible to establish different activities by the time of the day,
- with separate weekday, weekend, and holiday schedules.
-
- For example, if you use Novell's NHUB and/or CompuServe's CSERVE hub
- service, you will want to periodically poll these hubs to check for
- waiting mail.
-
- If you configure MHS to force a connection every 60 minutes, then
- MHS will make this call, once an hour, around the clock. MHS does not
- provide any means to limit any activity to a specific time period.
-
- If you are connecting to CSERVE at 9600 baud, each call will cost
- approximately $75.60 per week just checking for new mail. This
- calculation is based upon a cost factor of $0.45 per call or $10.80
- per day.
-
- With MHS Scheduler, you could configure your communications such
- that you connect to CSERVE every 60 minutes between the hours of
- 8AM and 5PM. On evenings, weekends and holidays, MHS would connect to
- CSERVE only if an outbound message had been queued for delivery. In
- this scenario, connect time charges for polling would be reduced to
- $22.50 per week ($4.50 per day), saving you over $212.00 a month!
-
- MHS Scheduler also adds the ability to schedule gateways and
- internetwork connections. Normally, MHS will connect to gateways
- and internetwork hosts every cycle. With MHS Scheduler, MHS can be
- configured to connect every x minutes, or only when an outbound
- message has been queued for the host or gateway.
-
- When the MHS Scheduler is used together with its companion utility,
- RunIT!, you can even setup your own processes using batch files to
- run at certain times of the day on your MHS server. The possibilities
- are infinite ... but consider installing your tape backup system on
- your MHS server, and being able to run your tape backup as a timed
- gateway process!
-
- RunIT! gives you the ability to set up gateways that will trigger
- actions when a message is sent to the gateway. Configuration
- examples are provided in this documentation, which includes a sample
- gateway for running TAPCIS as an MHS gateway on the MHS Hub.
- INSTALLING MHS SCHEDULER
-
- The MHS Scheduler runs as an MHS gateway process named -MHSCHED.
-
- NOTE: NetWare/VMS has problems with directories containing the
- "-" character. If you need to install MHS Scheduler to use a
- different gateway name, set the DOS environmental variable
- MHSSCHED to a different name before executing MHSSCHED.EXE,
- for example MHSSCHED=AAA. For best results, MHS Scheduler should
- be the first gateway in any alphabetic listing.
-
- To install the gateway process:
-
- 1.) Take your MHS server off-line by exiting from MHS on your MHS Mail
- Server.
-
- 2.) Perform the installation process the correct version of the MHS
- Scheduler that you have:
-
- If you have the 30-day trial version of MHS Scheduler, execute
- SH30DAY.EXE.
-
- If you purchased MHS Scheduler, execute SHINSTAL.EXE.
-
- 3.) Copy MHSSCHED.EXE and MHSSCHED.OVR from the distribution into a
- directory on your server, for example \MHS\EXE.
-
- 4.) Execute MHSSCHED.EXE to install the -MHSCHED gateway process.
-
- 5.) Restart your MHS server.
-
-
- CONFIGURING MHS SCHEDULER - OVERVIEW
-
- To configure MHS Scheduler, you must understand some of the basics
- of configuring MHS inter-host communication.
-
- For each time period defined for a host, MHS Scheduler allows you
- to configure three parameters:
-
- "Active" is a Yes or No setting, specifying whether or not the host
- or gateway you are configuring should be active. If this is set to
- "No", then during this time period, MHS will not attempt to connect
- to this host. In the case of dial-up hosts, MHS will still accept a
- call from a host that is inactive.
-
- "Force" is short for the MHS configuration setting, "Force Connection
- every xx minutes". If no connection has been made to the host within
- the number of minutes specified, then MHS will attempt to connect to
- the host on the next cycle. Specifying 0 will disable forced connections,
- and a connection will only be attempted if the message threshold is
- exceeded.
-
- "Threshold" specifies the number of messages that have to be queued
- for a host before MHS will attempt communications with the host.
- If the threshold is set to 1, MHS will try to connect to the host if
- any messages have been queued for the host. Specifying 0 will disable
- the threshold, and a connection will only be attempted if the "Force"
- connection parameters are met.
-
- NOTE: For gateways and internetwork connections, valid threshold
- settings are either 0 or 1. Settings above 1 will be treated as 1.
-
- USING MHS SCHEDULER
-
- Executing MHSSCHED will display a menu allowing you to configure
- operating parameters.
-
- One of the first configuration selections that you may wish to
- make is to specify what days of the week are to be considered
- business days, and which are to be considered weekends.
-
- To access this selection menu, press F3 (Define Days) from the main
- menu. The default is to consider Monday thru Friday to be business
- days, and consider Saturday and Sunday to be weekends. Workaholics
- may wish to change this so that all seven days of the week are
- business days.
-
- Also accessible from the F3/Define Days menu is a definition screen
- for defining what days of the year are to be considered holidays.
- These days are entered in a month/day format (e.g., 12/25).
-
- From the main menu, to configure scheduling information for a host,
- highlight the host and press Enter.
-
- "Default Schedule" allow you to configure the default scheduling
- parameters for the selected host. These are the parameters that will
- be used for scheduling activities when the current time does not fall
- into any other configured time period.
-
- "Business Schedule" allows you to configure time periods for
- business days (normally Monday thru Friday). From the time period
- definition window, press the <Insert> key to add a time period.
- "Start" and "End" specify the starting and ending time for the
- period in 24-hour time format (e.g., 5PM is 17:00). Any time period
- not specified here will follow the "Default Schedule".
-
- "Weekend Schedule" allows you to configure time periods for
- weekend days (normally Saturday and Sunday). From the time period
- definition window, press the <Insert> key to add a time period.
- Any time period not specified in any weekend time period will follow
- the "Default Schedule".
-
- "Holiday Schedule" allows you to specify time periods for configured
- holidays.
-
-
- COMMON SETTINGS
-
- Force Connection every xx minutes, with a 0 threshold:
-
- This means that MHS will connect to the host every xx minutes,
- regardless of how many messages have been queued for the host.
- If any messages have been queued for the host, a connection will
- still not be attempted until the force connection period has been
- met.
-
- Force Connect every 0 minutes, with a 1 message threshold:
-
- This means that MHS will only connect to the host if a message has
- been queued for it.
-
- Useful Force Connect Periods:
-
- 360 minutes - every 6 hours
- 720 minutes - every 12 hours
- 1440 minutes - every 24 hours (once a day)
- 9999 minutes (the max setting) - Just shy of once a week
-
- To connect once a day, but only overnight:
-
- This example could be useful for running tape backup on the MHS Server.
-
- 1.) Set up a default schedule where "Active" is set to No.
-
- 2.) Create a time period in your "Business Schedule", and optionally
- in the Weekend and Holiday Schedules, that covers an overnight time
- period (For example: 00:00 to 04:00 which is midnight to 4:00 am)
- where "Active" is set "Yes", and the "Force Connect" is set to
- something like 720 minutes (12 hours).
-
- For best results, you should pick a force connect period only
- slightly longer than the length of the time period for best results.
-
- NOTE: You could set to 24 hours, however, but if MHS is busy
- overnight, the schedule timing could be thrown off.
-
-
- BATCH FILE GATEWAYS WITH RUNIT!
-
- The RunIT! utility included with MHS Scheduler makes it easy
- to write batch files that can be run as MHS gateways. This allows
- you to perform both e-mail and non e-mail tasks, like running tape
- backups from your MHS server overnight, based on scheduling parameters
- entered with MHS Scheduler.
-
- Or, setup the gateway to only be executed when it receives
- a message (force connect = 0, threshold = 1). You can even
- use the MHS Subject line to specify command line parameters!
-
- To install a RunIT! batch file gateway, you need to define an
- MHS gateway.
-
- Stop the MHS Connectivity Manager (if it is currently running),
- and execute the MHS Directory Manager (Manage Directories option
- from the MHS Main Menu for MHS 1.5 users).
-
- Select "routes to workgroups, hosts and gateways", then "Define
- a gateway".
-
- Define an 8 character name to identify your gateway, along with
- a description.
-
- "Gateway version" should be set to 70 (MHS 1.5 format).
-
- "Gateway commands" specifies command-line parameters to be passed
- to your gateway batch file. The first parameter is the name of
- the batch file to be executed. (When the gateway is executed,
- the current directory will be MHS\MAIL\GATES\GWAYNAME\PUBLIC, where
- GWAYNAME is the name of your gateway, so it is best to place the
- batch file in this directory.)
-
- Succeeding parameters will be passed to the batch file, beginning
- as the 3rd parameter (%3), as the first two parameters are
- reserved, as described in the section below.
-
- If you want your gateway to execute only when a message has been
- queued for it, or if you want the subject line to be passed to the
- batch file as a parameter, then include the keyword "subject" in this
- field. RunIT! will replace "subject" with the subject line in
- your MHS message.
-
- This is all better described with the following examples:
-
- EXAMPLE #1, A generic gateway process.
-
- The following information will be used to configure MHS for this
- example:
-
- Gateway Name : GENERIC
- Description : A Generic Gateway Example
- Version : 70
- Command : GEN OPT1 OPT2 OPT3 OPT4
-
- Under MHS, define a gateway name of GENERIC, with the gateway commands
- GEN OPT1 OPT2 OPT3 OPT4
-
- Copy RUNIT.EXE to MHS\MAIL\GATES\GENERIC\PUBLIC\INPOST.EXE
-
- Create the batch file GEN.BAT, in the MHS\MAIL\GATES\GENERIC\PUBLIC
- directory as follows:
-
- ECHO OFF
- CLS
- ECHO Gateway : %1
- ECHO Directory : %2
- ECHO Options : %3 %4 %5 %6
- REM -------------------------------------------------------------
- REM In this example, replace PROGRAM below with the name of the
- REM command for the program you wish to run.
- REM -------------------------------------------------------------
- PROGRAM %3 %4 %5 %6
-
-
- RunIT! will execute the following command:
-
- GEN GENERIC J:\MHS\MAIL\GATES\GENERIC\ OPT1 OPT2 OPT3 OPT4
-
- Assuming that GEN corresponds to the above GEN.BAT file in your
- MHS\MAIL\GATES\GENERIC\PUBLIC directory (the directory that
- will be "current" when your gateway batch file is executed),
- then the following batch file variables will be set when
- the batch file is executed:
-
- %1: GENERIC
- %2: J:\MHS\MAIL\GATES\GENERIC\
- %3: OPT1
- %4: OPT2
- %5: OPT3
- %6: OPT4
-
- The above example is designed to be a gateway that is
- periodically run by MHS, regardless of whether or not a
- message has been queue for the gateway.
-
- Using the MHS Scheduler, you can set a time period so
- that the gateway will only be active during a certain time
- period, and so that it will only execute once every xx
- minutes, based on the force connect time period specified
- in MHS Scheduler. (See Common Settings in COMMON OPTIONS
- above for more information.)
-
- If your gateway will be processing messages, you will need
- to test for the existence of SMF message files in the %2OUT\
- directory with no file extension. For example:
-
- IF EXIST %2OUT\*.
-
- Attachment files will be stored in the %2OPARCEL\ directory,
- also without an extension.
-
- If your gateway will be triggered by receipt of a message,
- then if you did not include the special keyword "subject" in
- "gateway commands", then you will need to manually delete
- all %2OUT\*. and %2OPARCEL\*. files as part of your batch file.
-
- EXAMPLE 2:
-
- ECHO OFF
- CLS
- ECHO Gateway : %1
- ECHO Directory : %2
- ECHO Options : %3 %4 %5 %6
- REM -------------------------------------------------------------
- REM In this example, replace PROGRAM below with the name of the
- REM command for the program you wish to run.
- REM -------------------------------------------------------------
- PROGRAM %3 %4 %5 %6
- IF EXIST %2OUT\*. ERASE %2OUT\*.
- IF EXIST %2OPARCEL\*. ERASE %2OPARCEL\*.
-
- If you include the keyword "subject" in your "gateway commands"
- definition in MHS, then RunIT! will execute your batch file
- once for each message that it receives, substituting the MHS
- subject line of your message for "subject" in the command that
- gets executed.
-
- In these instances, RunIT! will assume responsibility for deleting
- the messages in the OUT directory, but it is the responsibility of
- your application to delete the attachments in the OPARCEL directory.
- The following examples describe using the "subject" keyword in more
- detail.
-
- EXAMPLE #3, A generic gateway process using the subject of a message.
-
- The following information will be used to configure MHS for this
- example:
-
- Gateway Name : RUNSUBJ
- Description : A Generic Subject Gateway
- Version : 70
- Command : RUNME SUBJECT
-
- Under MHS, define a gateway name of RUNSUBJ, with RUNME SUBJECT as
- the gateway command.
-
- Copy RUNIT.EXE to MHS\MAIL\GATES\RUNSUBJ\PUBLIC\INPOST.EXE
-
- Create the batch file RUNME.BAT, in the MHS\MAIL\GATES\RUNSUBJ\PUBLIC
- directory as follows:
-
- ECHO OFF
- CLS
- ECHO Gateway : %1
- ECHO Directory : %2
- ECHO Options : %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
- REM -------------------------------------------------------------
- REM In this example, replace PROGRAM below with the name of the
- REM command for the program you wish to run.
- REM -------------------------------------------------------------
- PROGRAM %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
-
- The RUNME.BAT batch file will be executed once for every
- message that is sent to the gateway, substituting the subject
- of each message for SUBJECT in the command line.
-
- For example, if a message is addressed to any USER @ RUNSUBJ
- address with a subject of "THIS IS A TEST", RunIT! will execute
- the following command:
-
- RUNME RUNSUBJ J:\MHS\MAIL\GATES\RUNSUBJ\ THIS IS A TEST
-
- Assuming that RUNME corresponds to the above RUNME.BAT file in your
- MHS\MAIL\GATES\RUNSUBJ\PUBLIC directory (the directory that
- will be "current" when your gateway batch file is executed),
- then the following batch file variables will be set when
- the batch file is executed:
-
- %1: RUNSUBJ
- %2: J:\MHS\MAIL\GATES\RUNSUBJ\
- %3: THIS
- %4: IS
- %5: A
- %6: TEST
-
- EXAMPLE #4, A gateway used to run TapCis.
-
- The following information will be used to configure MHS for this
- example:
-
- Gateway Name : TAPCIS
- Description : A Gateway for TapCis
- Version : 70
- Command : TAP SUBJECT
-
- Under MHS, define a gateway name of TAPCIS, with TAP SUBJECT as the
- gateway command.
-
- Copy RUNIT.EXE to MHS\MAIL\GATES\TAPCIS\PUBLIC\INPOST.EXE
-
- Create the batch file TAP.BAT, in the MHS\MAIL\GATES\TAPCIS\PUBLIC
- directory as follows:
-
- ECHO OFF
- CLS
- ECHO Gateway : %1
- ECHO Directory : %2
- ECHO Option : %3
- REM --------------------------------------------------------------
- REM NX - Command line parameter to TapCis which will go on-line
- REM and read all new messages.
- REM
- REM RX - Go on-line read messages addressed specifically to you.
- REM
- REM OX - Go on-line and upload any replies that you have composed,
- REM and issue any commands or library commands that you have
- REM prepared in your last TapCis session.
- REM --------------------------------------------------------------
- IF %3==NEW then TAPCIS NX
- IF %3==READ then TAPCIS RX
- IF %3==ONLINE then TAPCIS NX
-
- When this gateway executes, RunIT! will execute the following command:
-
- TAP TAPCIS J:\MHS\MAIL\GATES\TAPCIS\ [subject]
-
- where [subject] will be replaced with the actual subject of a message
- that has been directed to it.
-
- The following batch file variables will be set when the batch file
- is executed:
-
- %1: TAPCIS
- %2: J:\MHS\MAIL\GATES\TAPCIS\
- %3: [subject]

- NETWORK UTILITIES
- -----------------
-
- * I-Queue! - Simplifies network printing and print queue management
- in the Novell NetWare environment. From within a small memory
- resident pop-up (0 to 2-1/2KB), I-Queue! allows users to easily
- change NetWare print queues and modify "capture" parameters.
- I-Queue! is compatible with Novell's PRINTCON/PRINTDEF and adds
- global PRINTCON support for Novell's own utilities.
- Queue management capabilities include: delete/reorder print jobs,
- move/copy jobs between queues, and hold/delayed printing.

-
- MHS GATEWAYS AND UTILITIES
- --------------------------
-
- * MHS Scheduler - An MHS mail agent that provides greater flexibility
- in configuring when MHS will connect to a host. On a host-by-host
- basis, the MHS administrator can configure different frequencies of
- forced connections based on different times of the day, with
- separate weekday, weekend, and holiday scheduling possible.
- MHS gateways and internetwork connections can also be scheduled.
- The companion RunIT! utility simplifies the creation of batch file
- gateways...now you can run your tape backup system on your MHS
- server.
-
- * MHS Librarian! - An MHS Gateway that allows users to request
- information to be forwarded to them via MHS. Requests are
- made by placing a keyword in the "SUBJECT" field of the message
- that you address to the library. A list of files may be
- requested by sending a message with the keyword of INDEX. The
- system Admin can also configure MHS Librarian so that selected
- users can request files or directories other than those that
- appear in the index. Security is provided by a password program
- that generates unique daily passwords, a fixed password, or you
- can create your own password utility.
-
- MHS Librarian! also supports "discussion lists", similar to
- the "list server" concept on the internet.
-
- * PageIT! - An MHS gateway connecting MHS-based electronic mail
- systems to full text alphanumeric pagers. Once configured,
- sending messages to an alphanumeric pager is as simple as
- sending a message from your favorite MHS application.
-
- * ForwardIT! - An MHS mail agent for automatically forwarding
- MHS based electronic mail messages. ForwardIT! can forward
- (or copy) messages addressed to an MHS address to an alternate
- address.
-
- ForwardIT! is most useful in the MHS remote e-mail environment.
- By remote, we refer to field workers or business travelers who
- operate ExpressIT! Remote, or other MHS compatible remote
- software, on a PC or laptop to access their electronic mail
- from a distant location. Examples could include a salesperson
- between sales calls, a business traveler in a hotel room,
- or work-at-home scenarios.
-
- Without ForwardIT!, when mail is sent to a recipient's office
- address, MHS does not allow for a remote user to dial into the
- network and retrieve mail waiting for their office address. Mail
- addressed to this office address can only be picked up at the
- office.
-
- In order to send a message to the user's MHS remote, the sender
- must assume responsibility for sending a copy of the message to
- the remote MHS address.
-
- With ForwardIT!, the user leaves a forwarding address at the
- office, and while they're out, all messages will be forwarded,
- or copied, to their forwarding address, giving users transparent
- access to their electronic mail while away from the office.
-
- This forwarding address can be any valid MHS address, including
- addresses via MHS gateways.
-
- * MhsQ! - An MHS gateway interface to NetWare print queues.
- Messages can be sent via MHS to a NetWare print queue.
- This capability can be useful for MHS remote sites and/or
- MHS enabled applications for generating printed output
- and/or reports.
-
- MhsQ! can also redirect print queues on one file server
- to a remote print queue on another file server via MHS.
-
- * ExpressIT! MHS Directory Assistant - A directory services
- gateway that automatically creates and updates user routes

- host within the workgroup, and the user route will automatically
