RTE SMS has interfaces that can be used to connect the company information system (Windows, AS400, UNIX, etc.) to RTE SMS. For example, the file interface allows programmes to store files to be sent by the SMS server. An SMS is described by a command file in ASCII format. This file is stored in the Out directory of the File Connector. It contains information about the SMS and the SMS recipient(s). It can also be used to configure transmission, either for all recipients or recipient by recipient. On receipt, the SMS are converted into ASCII files that contain all the information relating to the SMS and are placed in the File Connector’s In directory.
There are also other interfaces (SQL, NT Alerts, SAP, Goldmine, Sage, HP OpenView, XML, SNMP, etc.).
