PMDF System Manager's Guide

For cc:Mail, an item that needs to be site-implemented is a procedure for moving the PMDF-DIRSYNC directory updates to the cc:Mail postoffice system and importing them into cc:Mail, and a procedure for scheduling and performing the extraction of directory information from cc:Mail, and moving that extracted information to the PMDF system where PMDF-DIRSYNC can pick it up. Normally, a PMDF-LAN cc:Mail channel is being used, and such transfer issues have already been addressed for the normal movement of message files; then the transfer of PMDF-DIRSYNC directory updates can be piggybacked upon the existing file transport mechanism.

For instance, one approach is to use rcp and rsh to automate this task.

The actual Lotus EXPORT command, to extract directory information from the cc:Mail postoffice, would take the form:

EXPORT po password po-path dir-file DIRECTORY/options

The Lotus IMPORT command, to import directory updates into the cc:Mail postoffice, would take the form:

IMPORT po password po-path dir-file DIRECTORY/options

See Lotus cc:Mail IMPORT/EXPORT documentation for details on these Lotus utilities.
