The following information is displayed in the Queue Maintenance screen:
- Type
The type of queue:
APPL Application queue IN Inbound queue OC62 CICS LU6.2 outbound queue OE62 EntireX Broker Services (LU6.2 API or LU6.2 ACI) outbound queue ORDA Remote database access outbound queue RE62 Receiving queue for EntireX Broker Services (LU6.2 API or LU6.2 ACI) RRDA Receiving queue for remote database access SYS System queue - Queue ID
The name of the queue.
The following queues are created when your system is initialized:
***IN*** Inbound queue ***CR*** Creation queue ***UD*** Non-delivery queue - Items
The number of transport items in a queue.
If the queue contains more than 9999 items, "!>9999" is shown in this column. It is recommended that you do not keep so many items in a queue and that you delete items in time.
- Time Last Active
The date and time of the queue's last activity. The transport service records the last date and time that one of the queue server programs was scheduled, activated or deactivated.
- I
Input status. Possible queue statuses are: A (active) and D (queue being drained).
- O
Output status. Possible queue statuses are: I (inactive; only through administrator intervention), A (active), T (timer driven scheduling), E (event driven scheduling), " " (scheduled) and H (queue held).
The output status for timer-driven queues can have the following values: reset, timer, scheduled and active. If the output status is T, the timer is not activated. However, after serious errors, the output status is changed to H (held).
- R
Reset status. The reset status is the initial value of the output status and describes the scheduling method which applies to that queue. Possible queue statuses are: I (inactive; scheduling only through administrator intervention), T (timer driven scheduling), E (event driven scheduling) and H (queue held).
Note:
If your system runs in batch mode the reset status must be either I (inactive) or H (held). It must not be set to T (timer driven) or E (event driven).- Time
The timer interval in minutes.
- Description
Optional - a description of the queue.
You must ensure that the appropriate mechanisms for scheduling the transport service queue server programs have been established and activated. See Scheduling.
Your local transport service consists of an inbound queue and system queues (e.g. creation and non-delivery) created during the initialization process, and outbound queues defined when your network was configured.
Each queue-type handles a particular function within the network. See Queues.
To add a queue, press PF4 on the Queue Maintenance screen. A window appears which lists the various queue-types you can add. Mark the field to the left of the queue-type you want with any character and press ENTER. As a result, that queue's screen appears where you can enter the required information in the highlighted fields.
To display information concerning a queue, mark the queue with DQ (Display Queue) on the Queue Maintenance screen and press ENTER.
To modify information concerning a queue, mark the queue with MO (Modify Queue) on the Queue Maintenance screen and press ENTER.

Program YR-GETH is delivered as a source program. It can be set up to delete obsolete transport service log records.
When you define the parameters #HOURS and #LOGSETNUMBER and stow your modifications, this program is run each time a queue server program is activated.
When YR-GETH is run, it checks the transport service log records for records older than the value defined in parameter #HOURS. If any records are found, they are deleted. If the total number of old records is more than the value defined in parameter #LOGSETNUMBER, only the number of records defined in this parameter are deleted. The remaining records will be deleted the next time YR-GETH is run. If log records exist but are not older than the value in parameter #LOGSETNUMBER, they are not deleted.
To edit YR-GETH, enter the following at the Natural Next prompt:

You can modify the following parameters:
- #HOURS
Default is 24 hours. Defines the frequency, in hours, the log records will be erased.
- #LOGSETNUMBER
Default is 100 records. Determines the total number of records deleted at one time. If the current number of log records is greater than this value, they will be deleted the next time YR-GETH is activated.
See Initialization.
If the transport service has been initialized and you select this function from the Transport Service Administration screen, a message is displayed indicating that the information already exists.
Prior to Con-nect version 2.4, the Con-nect spool file was used to transmit mail items between Con-nect and other external mail nodes. Each node was assigned a unique spool file address to insure that mail items were transferred to the appropriate external mail node.
With Con-nect version 3, the spool file method can be replaced with the transport service. Since the transport service uses a different addressing format, all external addresses that use the spool file method must be converted to this format.
The conversion procedure is a two step process. First, for each spool file node you want to convert, a transport service node must be defined. Once a transport service node is defined, the actual conversion process can then be performed.
During the conversion process, the actual spool file node is not deleted, nor is the address information overwritten with the transport service's address information. Rather, the addresses are simply transferred to the transport service node. Therefore before you begin the conversion process, a transport service node must be defined for the spool file node.
Note:
Once addresses have been converted to the transport service method,
you cannot convert them back to the spool file method.
See Adding an External Mail Node to define a transport service node.
To begin the conversion process, select the Address Conversion function and press ENTER to display the screen below.

The Address Conversion - Display Nodes screen lists all external nodes which are defined to the local Con-nect system. The following information is displayed for each external node:
- Node ID
Node name.
- Description
Description of the node.
- Level
Address level of the external node.
- Type
Type of external node (e.g. A signifies Con-nect ).
- Method
Mailing method used:
Transp Transport service. Spool Spool file.
To page to a particular node, you can enter a character or string of characters in the "Position to" field and press ENTER. This causes the list to scroll to the first node whose ID begins with the specified character(s).
To select the external node you want to convert, mark the corresponding field in the Mark column and press PF6.
As a result, the Select Transport Service Node window is displayed which lists all defined transport service nodes on your Con-nect system.

Additionally, a message is displayed notifying you of the discrepancy. If you wish to continue with the conversion process, mark the field in the window and press ENTER. When you confirm the conversion, the addresses are converted to the selected transport service node displayed in the window.
If you decided to abort the conversion, press PF3 and you are returned to the Address Conversion - Display Nodes screen.
Once the conversion is completed, the total number of addresses converted is displayed as shown below:

The conversion process converts all spool file node addresses defined in cabinet SYSCNT. This includes nicknames and distribution lists.
Nicknames and distribution lists defined by a Con-nect user are also converted.
The cabinet function is used to view the number of addresses defined to the specified node, be it a spool file or transport service node.
This function can be helpful before and after the conversion process to insure that all addresses were converted to the transport service node.
To display the cabinets in which the addresses are defined to a node, select the node you want on the Address Conversion - Display Nodes screen and press PF5.

The Address Conversion - Addresses for Node node-name screen displays the following information:
- Cabinet
Cabinet ID that has defined the addresses for the specified node.
- Description
Description of cabinet.
- Number of Addresses
Number of addresses defined to the selected external node by the cabinet.
If no information is available for the selected node, this screen will not be displayed.
From this screen you can also convert the addresses contained in one or several cabinets to the transport service format - so long as the node you selected uses the spool file method. Only the addresses in the selected cabinets will be affected.
To do so, select the cabinet(s) you want to convert and press PF6. See Converting a Spool File Node.
The following procedure does not apply if your system does not interact with the central directory via the directory synchronization functions, which means that the central directory is not defined in your Con-nect environment.
Note:
To modify your transport service node ID, the central directory must
be available.
Node IDs which have been renamed are not deleted from the central directory until the central directory administrator deletes them from the list of Con-nect nodes in the central directory. See Central Directory. Therefore, you are disallowed to reuse a node ID if it has not been deleted from the central directory.
To modify the name of your transport service node ID, you select the Define Local Node function on the Administration - External Mail Nodes screen and press ENTER.
Type the new transport service node ID over the previously defined ID in the resulting window and press ENTER.
As a result, a screen similar to the one below displays the new transport service node ID as well as the node ID currently used by the directory synchronization. It also displays the number of addresses you have uploaded to the central directory that will be effected by the modification and the number of remote user entries that will be effected by the modification.

To confirm your modification, press PF4. If you want to cancel your modification, press PF3.
When you confirm the modification of your transport service node name, all addresses which pertain to this transport service node name are not automatically modified. Initially, only the data in the central directory are modified, which includes:
all addresses you have uploaded to the central directory with the directory synchronization Upload function,
all addresses you have authorized for remote cabinet access, and
your Con-nect node data record (as defined in the central directory).
Then with the next download, all addresses which have been previously downloaded to other participating Con-nect nodes are modified. The following data is modified:
all profiles (defined with the directory synchronization Add Profile function) that pertain to your Con-nect node,
all addresses that were previously downloaded from the central directory (which originated from your Con-nect node), and
all addresses that were previously imported from the central directory (which originated from your Con-nect node).
Each address, which originated from your Con-nect node, that has been unlinked will not be modified.
