  • Re: setting up Db

    DBUTIL POLL is not working, i thought that would immediately look at unsent mail.
    Yep. I tried it and it will poll my hub and scan for mail but it refuses to pack/forward outgoing echomail. I think DB sees the nessages that need to go out because the log shows
    " building the outbound queue
    6 messages scanned, none packed
    Scanning for outbound ECHOmail
    No ECHOmail messages forwarded"

    I believe the 6 messages it refers to are "stuck" test messages destined for FSX_TST hub robot. Thanks for your help. I will keep plugging away at it. I may look for help in the Maximus muffin echo and see what those guys are using. I realise I am butting my head against ancient software...

    message as 13.msg. D'Bridge did nothing with that message. i can see the message in the built in editor of D'Bridge but when I exit it ells me that message scanned, none packed. I guess my question is what does it take to g D'Bridge to send the message out that was created by Maximus? Maximus will exit with a errorlevel when a user hangs up after entering an echomail or netmail. Do I need to tell Maximus to send D'Bridge a semaphore to rescan a pack?

    Yes, you can create the semaphores DBRIDGE.RSN (ReScan Netmail) or DBRIDGE.RSE (ReScan Echomail).

    When you see "xxx messages scanned, xxx packed" that refers to Netmail.

    When you see "xxx messages in xxx areas forwarded" that means Echomail.

    Thanks that is good to know. I will try having Maximus create a semaphore when a user enters a message and see if DB will pack it and send it out.
