CSA Group Information Technology - Message Handling Systems (MHS): Message Store: Abstract Service Definition (Adopted ISO/IEC 10021-5:1999, fourth edition, 1999-12-15)

Preface This is the second edition of CSA Standard CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 10021-5. It supersedes the previous edition published in 1994 (adoption of ISO/IEC 10021-5:1990).  Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).  This Recommendation | International Standard defines the Message Store abstract-service. This abstract-service is provided by the Message Store access protocol (specified in ITU-T Rec. X.419 | ISO/IEC 10021-6) in conjunction with the MTS abstract-service (defined in ITU-T Rec. X.411 | ISO/IEC 10021-4), together with the Remote Operations Service Element (ROSE) services (defined in ITU-T Rec. X.219 | ISO/IEC 9072-1). The abstract-syntax for the application-layer protocols used in this Recommendation | International Standard is defined in ITU-T Rec. X.680 | ISO/IEC 8824-1. Other Recommendations | parts of ISO/IEC 10021 define other aspects of the MHS. ITU-T Rec. F.400/X.400 | ISO/IEC 10021-1 defines the user-oriented services provided by the MHS. ITU-T Rec. X.402 | ISO/IEC 10021-2 provides an architectural overview of the MHS. ITU-T Rec. X.420 | ISO/IEC 10021-7 defines the abstract-service for Interpersonal Messaging and defines the format of Interpersonal Messages. Section 2 of this Recommendation | International Standard contains the Message Store abstract-service definition. Clause 6 describes the MS model. Clause 7 defines the semantics and abstract-syntax of the MS-bind and the MS-unbind abstract-operations. Clause 8 defines the semantics and abstract-syntax of the operations of the MS abstract-service. Clause 9 defines the semantics and abstract-syntax of the errors of the abstract-service. Section 3 of this Recommendation | International Standard defines the general-attribute-types, general-matching-rules, and general-auto-action-types related to the MS. Clause 10 contains an overview. Clause 11 defines the semantics and abstract-syntax of the general-attribute-types. Clause 12 defines the semantics and abstract-syntax of the general matching rules. Clause 13 defines the semantics and abstract-syntax of the general-auto-action-types. Section 4 of this Recommendation | International Standard describes the procedures for Message Store and the ports realization. Clause 14 contains an overview. Clause 15 describes how the Message Transfer System abstract-service is consumed. Clause 16 describes how the Message Store abstract-service is supplied. Clause 17 describes how the MS ports are realized. The requirements for conformance to this Recommendation | International Standard are stated in clause 10 of ITU-T Rec. X.419 | ISO/IEC 10021-6.
