Addresses: X.400 address conversion with the report RSADRX40

Description

The X.400 addresses table (SADR8) contains new fields from release 3.0A. The report RSADRX40 is executed to convert the X.400 addresses into the new structure before release 3.0A.

The table SADR8 is extended by the following fields:

These fields replace the field DDA. The conversion report RSADRX40 divides the field DDA and writes the various parts into the new fields. The contents of the old field DDA are kept.

Example

The contents of the DDA field can appear as follows:
type1=value1;...;type4=value4;
It is divided into the strings type1, value1,..., type4, value4. These are then written to the new fields DDA_TYPE1, DDA_VALUE1,..., DDA_TYPE4, DDA_VALUE_4.

Attention

If the contents of the original field DDA has a different structure, the report should be modified accordingly.

X.400 records whose DDA field have been converted, or which have been changed online, are indicated as records whose new fields have already been filled by the valuue 'X' in the field DDA_NEW.

Changes to the interface

The X.400 address maintenance screen now only contains the new DDA fields. If a new X.400 address is created, or an existing address is changed, the field NEW_DDA is also set to 'X'.

If an X.400 address is changed before the report is executed, the new fields are filled as soon as the maintenance screen containing the fields is confirmed with 'CONTINUE', and the address is saved.

Further notes

The report RSADRX40 should not be executed online if there is a lot of data.
