As with standard data processing, the information on KCS is stored in files. As opposed to
DOS files, KCS files have more attributes. DOS file attributes include file size, file name and
access flags.
One of the attributes of a KCS file is the name of the folder it belongs to. The KCS itself is
divided into three parts: Mail Area, User Area and Tech Area. Each of these areas can hold
specific folders. The following provides an overview of the relationship between the areas and
folder types.
(See the TCOSS System Manual for more information.)
Information on the KCS is divided into the following areas:
12.1 Mail Area
The mail area contains message files. Only messages stored here can be sent. All incoming
and outgoing traffic is handled in this area, which is reorganized by the KCS automatically.
This means incoming and outgoing send orders with the status "Terminated" are deleted from
the Mail area or are archived, depending on the send options (termination parameters)
specified.
The following types of files can be found in the Mail area:
+MAIL: Messages sent via TopDeskPro
+MAIL5V: Messages arriving in KCS from public lines or from host applications such
as TC/400 or TC-OV/MVS and all TCOS5 system files (nn99, KKnn, etc.)
+MAIL5I: Invisible files (such as those used for sending copies for operation with the
TTX-TLX conversion facility).
12.2 User Area
This area can hold files of any type. Although it can also contain messages, it is not possible
to send a message stored in this area. When such a message is sent through TopDeskPro, it
is automatically stored in the Mail area on KCS.
+USER: Contains the user profiles. Each user has his/her own user profile in the
+USER area. The name of the user profile is the same as the user ID.
UserID: Contains each user's Message folder, where the name of the area matches
the user ID.
12.3 Tech Area
The tech area contains all the system files (programs, configuration tables, etc.).
Note: The Communications Information File (CIF), recipient directory, and Archive Entry file
are stored in the MAILSYS area.
