WORDPERFECT OFFICE
GATEWAY FOR VERIMATION MEMO WHITE PAPER
The WordPerfect Office Gateway for Verimation MEMO connects a
WordPerfect Office system running on a PC LAN to a MEMO e-mail
system on an IBM mainframe running under VM, MVS, or VSE. The
gateway requires a local, physical connection between the
mainframe and the PC LAN.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
With a Gateway for MEMO installed, Office users can communicate
directly with MEMO users. Office users can send both Mail and
Scheduler messages to MEMO users. However, Scheduler requests are
converted to MEMO mail messages. MEMO users can send messages to
Office Mail users. The gateway also gives Office users access to
any other e-mail system accessible to the MEMO system, including
other Office systems attached to remote mainframes.
TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
The Gateway for MEMO requires that the mainframe be running the
following minimal levels of operating system and application
software: VM, MVS, or VSE (a release compatible with your MEMO
release); VSAM (a release compatible with your MEMO release);
Verimation MEMO 3.05 or later; MEMO/LU2 1.01 or later; and
MEMO/GWY 1.02 or later. The MEMO/LU2 and MEMO/GWY options of the
MEMO program must be purchased separately from the basic MEMO
software package.
The Gateway for MEMO is an add-on to the Connection Server--the
message routing agent included in the WordPerfect Office for PC
LANs package. The Connection Server is installed on a network
station dedicated to Connection Server message routing and
processing functions. The gateway consists of two programs--the
gateway server program and the main gateway program. The gateway
server program is installed on and executed by the Connection
Server at specified intervals to transfer outbound messages to
the gateway and download incoming messages. The Connection Server
station running the gateway server program must meet the
following minimum requirements: 80286 microprocessor, 640K RAM,
20MB hard disk, DOS 3.1, and Connection Server 3.0.
The main gateway program, installed on a separate dedicated PC
LAN station, handles message translation and communication with
the MEMO e-mail system through the MEMO/LU2 product. The
dedicated gateway station must have a direct physical connection
to the mainframe, using SDLC (Synchronous Data-Link Control), IBM
Token-Ring, or an IBM 3270 Terminal Emulation Adapter. The
gateway station must also have an IBM 3270 Emulation Program or
compatible software that supports DFT (Distributed Function
Terminal) and EHLLAPI (Extended High Level Language Application
Programming Interface).
MESSAGE ADDRESSING--OFFICE TO MEMO
To send a message to a MEMO user, an Office user must know the
gateway name, the user's MEMO distribution group, and the user's
MEMO ID, as shown in the example below.

To make addressing easy for local Office users, the system
administrator can create single-word aliases for frequently
addressed MEMO recipients. Or users can create personal groups
that include MEMO user addresses.
MESSAGE ADDRESSING--MEMO TO OFFICE
A MEMO user addressing a message to an Office user through the
gateway needs to know what the gateway was named in the MEMO
system plus the user's Office host name and user ID. In the
example below, LisaM is a user on the Acctg host in the Office
system. The gateway is known as WPO in the MEMO system.
