Send Management Information

(1) Fields

The table below carries the values and optional statuses for the registration using the Management Console. The optional statuses for the registration using parameter file and command may differ from those for the registration using the Management Console. For the detail on optional statuses for the registration using parameter file and command, refer to Registering and updating a record in management information.

(2) Explanations of each field

This section explains the fields to be specified in a record of the Send Management Information. A string within brackets () is the tag of a field name to be specified when you use a parameter file to register the information.

File ID (SNDFILE)

ID to identify the file to send

Because "_INSTANT_TRANSFER_" is the ID used only for instant transfer, it cannot be specified as File ID.

Send File Name (FILENAME)

File stored on the IBM i operating system

For a physical data file, specify the name in the format of Library name/File name(Member name).

For an archive file, specify the name in the format of Library name/File name.

You cannot use reserved words such as "*FIRST", "*FILE", and so forth, in the name of a send file. Specifying a file name with a reserved word may result in an unexpected behavior of HULFT.

Transfer Interval (INTERVAL)

The interval between Transfer Unit (Transfer Block Length x Transfer Block Count)

If omitted, "0" is set.

Transfer Block Length (BLOCKLEN)

The length of one block during transfer

Transfer Block Length (BLOCKLEN) multiplied by Transfer Block Count (BLOCKCNT) must not exceed 65520.

Transfer Block Count (BLOCKCNT)

The number of blocks per transfer

Transfer Block Length (BLOCKLEN) multiplied by Transfer Block Count (BLOCKCNT) must not exceed 65520.

Compression Preference (COMP)

The options of compression in file transfer

N :

None

1 :

Horizontal (Compression within records)

2 :

Vertical (Compression across records)

3 :

DEFLATE

DEFLATE Level (DEFLATELVL)

The compression level for DEFLATE compression

This field can be set only if "3" (DEFLATE) is specified for the Compression Preference (COMP).

S :

Speed

D :

Default

C :

Compression Ratio

If omitted, "D" is set.

Transfer Priority (TRANSPRTY)

The priority in queue when starting the file transfer

Smaller numbers mean higher priority.

EBCDIC Set (CHARTYPE)

The Type-EBCDIC code set that is used for conversion of single-byte codes

If Code Set for Transfer is set to a Type-EBCDIC code set on the local host, specify the same EBCDIC set as that of the sending-side host (local host).

If Code Set for Transfer is set to UTF-8 on the local host, specify the same EBCDIC set as that of the receiving-side host (remote host).

Transfer Type (TRANSTYPE)

The data type of the file to send

F (FORMAT) :

Format data

B (BINARY) :

Binary data

T (TEXT) :

Text data

M (MULTI-FMT) :

Multi format data

Shiftcode Mode (SHIFTTRANSACT)

Handling of shift codes when HULFT performs code conversion

C (Cut) :

Convert to the shortened data by removing shift codes

S (Space) :

Convert shift codes to space codes

Y (Add) :

Add shift codes

N (None) :

Do not add shift codes

When omitted, the value for this parameter depends on Code Set for Transfer (CS4TRNSFR) specified in the System Environment Settings:

Table 2.2 Default and valid values of Shiftcode Mode

Value of Code Set for Transfer (CS4TRNSFR)	Default Value	Valid Values
I (IBM Kanji)	C (Cut)	S (Space) C (Cut)
8 (UTF-8)	Y (Add)	N (None) Y (Add)
C (IBM Simplified Chinese)	C (Cut)	S (Space) C (Cut)

Subsequent Character (SPCUT)

Handling of trailing spaces

S :

Remove trailing spaces

N :

Do not remove trailing spaces

Code Conversion (KJCHNGE)

The code conversion destination of the files to be sent

S :

Sending Side

R :

Receiving Side

N :

No Conversion

Send File Mode (CLEAR)

Exclusive access control to a Send file during sending and while handling when the sending terminated successfully

K (Keep) :

Never lock the file while sending. The application saves the file after sending terminated successfully.

C (Clear) :

Lock the file while sending. The file turns to be a 0-byte file after sending terminated.

D (Delete) :

Lock the file while sending. The application deletes the file after sending terminated successfully.

L (Lock) :

Lock the file while sending. The application saves the file after sending terminated successfully.

Pre-send Job ID (PREJOBID)

The ID of the Job Information record that represents the job to be started before the sending-side transferring is performed

For details on the Job Information, refer to Job Information.

When omitted, a job does not start.

Successful Job ID (JOBID)

The ID of the Job Information record that represents the job to be started when a sending-side transferring ends successfully

For details on the Job Information, refer to Job Information.

When omitted, the job does not start.

Unsuccessful Job ID (ERRJOBID)

The ID of the Job Information record that represents the job to be started when a sending-side transferring ends unsuccessfully

For details on the Job Information, refer to Job Information.

When omitted, the job does not start.

Multi/Format ID (FMTID)

The ID of a Format Information record or a Multi Format Information record specified for the send file

For details on the Format Information, refer to Format Information.

For details on the Multi Format Information, refer to Multi Format Information.

The format ID is mandatory when Transfer Type is set to "F" (FORMAT), and the multi format ID is mandatory when Transfer Type is set to "M" (MULTI-FMT).

Interface ID (DBID)

Interface of sending data on the receiving side

CSV :

Convert a Receive file to CSV formatting on the receiving side

When you want to receive the receive file in a CSV format on the receiving-side host (either of UNIX, Linux, NonStop, or Windows), specify "CSV" for this field. When omitted, the receiving in CSV format is not carried out. To establish this interface, specify "F" (FORMAT) or "M" (MULTI-FMT) for the Transfer Type.

Transfer Group ID (GRPID)

The ID of the Transfer Group Information record that represents the group of destination hosts for the send file.

For details on the Transfer Group Information, refer to Transfer Group Information.

Cipher Key (PASSWORD) (when Forced Strong Key mode is disabled)

Key used when data is encrypted in an encryption algorithm

You can apply security to the data to be sent. Specify the same cipher key as is specified in the Receive Management Information on the remote host.

When omitted, the encryption of data is not carried out.

Cipher Key (PASSWORD) (when Forced Strong Key mode is enabled)

Key used when data is encrypted in an encryption algorithm

You can apply security to the data to be sent. Specify the same cipher key as is specified in the Receive Management Information on the remote host.

Make sure that you specify Cipher Key. If the receiving-side host is not in Forced Strong Key mode, a transfer error occurs.
