Sending Transactions through the EAL

Sending Transactions through the External Application Link

This section describes the format of the transactions used to request that a forward message be transmitted.

There are three 600-series transactions that allow forward (outbound) messages to be submitted through the external application link.

• Forward Text Message (Type 601): Allows a mobile-addressed text message to be submitted
• Forward Binary Message (Type 604): Allows a mobile-addressed binary message to be submitted
• Forward T2 Message (Type 609): Allows a T2-addressed message to be submitted.

These transactions are placed directly into the input data queue of the QTRACS/400 Router (OMRECVQ) by calling an IBM supplied API, QSNDDTAQ.

Note that the OMSTREAL and OMPRCEAL background tasks must be running in the Qualcomm subsystem in order for these 600-series transactions to be processed by QTRACS. Use the SBMSTREAL and SBMPRCEAL commands, respectively, to start the background tasks.
