Use Store and Forward (Optional)

The store and forward option lets you automatically forward messages to another host. If that host is unavailable, it can store the message until that host becomes available.

To enable this option after installation

1. Ensure that the $CAIGLBL0000/opr/saf directory exists. It should be a symbolic link to ../RW/saf.
2. Create a file oprsaf in the $CAIGLBL0000/opr/config/<node> directory. The file can be empty. It will contain the word <active> when Store and Forward is activated.

These environment variables in file /cai/nsmem/opr/scripts/envusr will be set and exported when file $CAIGLBL0000/opr/config/<node>/oprsaf is available:

CA_OPR_SAF=Y
CA_OPR_SAF_ROOT=$CAIGLBL0000/opr/saf

The Store and Forward daemon is the oprsafd process. This program is located in the $CAIGLBL0000/bin directory and is started by this command:

unicntrl start opr

When issuing a cawto command and implementing Store and Forward, the CA_OPR_SAF and CA_OPR_SAF_ROOT environment variables must be set within the issuer’s environment.
