Chapter 4 Information You Need in Order to Use the Gateway Intrinsics In order to use the Gateway Intrinsics, it is necessary to have a much better understanding of the way HP Desk works than if you are only using the User Intrinsics. You are designing an extension to the HP Desk transport system, so therefore, you must have a thorough understanding of the functionality of the HP Desk transport and administration system and how HP Desk deals with mail internally. You also need a deeper understanding of how the Transaction File is used, this is provided in Chapter 6 of this manual. When passing messages between HP Desk and an external application, you must be able to describe all the elements of the HP Desk message to the application. Messages from an application to HP Desk must be set up correctly so that HP Desk can receive them. It is necessary to use more of the Transaction File records in order to do this than is necessary when using the User Intrinsics. For example, when an application is signed on as a gateway, there is no Default User name to be used in the creator field of the HP Desk message, so your application has to provide a means of supplying this and then passing that name to HP Desk in the tt_message_creator transaction record.
