Store and Forward (Optional)

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

To enable store and forward during installation, set the UPDATE_SAF value to Y.

Follow these steps:

  1. Set and export the environment variables in file /cai/nsmem/opr/scripts/envusr: 
    CA_OPR_SAF=Y
CA_OPR_SAF_ROOT=$CAIGLBL0000/opr/saf
  2. Ensure that the $CAIGLBL0000/opr/saf directory exists. It is a symbolic link to ../RW/saf.
  3. Create a file oprsaf in the $CAIGLBL0000/opr/config/<node> directory. The file can be empty. It contains the word <active> when Store and Forward is activated.

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

    UNICNTRL START OPR

When issuing a cawto command and implementing Store and Forward, set the CA_OPR_SAF and CA_OPR_SAF_ROOT environment variables within the environment for the issuer.
