Transferring a Volume Archive to a Remote Host
- After COPYWRITE has created a volume archive, it can
transfer it to a remote host, where for example it may be
burned onto CD media. See Example
5.
- The transfer facility is selected by setting the
AUTOUNLOAD attribute to ON.
- The built in or standard transfer facility uses TCP/IP
FTP to do a binary image transfer. The HOSTNAME attribute
of the <destination volume> in the COPY statement
is set for the COPY. If the USERCODE attribute is set on
the COPY, it is used, otherwise the USERCODE attribute is
set to the usercode of the COPY process.
- It may be necessary to add the HOSTNAME to the network
initialization files ( such as NW TCPIP MAPPING + CPNTA
192.168.16.2), since setting either the DOMAINNAME or
IPADDRESS directly in the COPY statement, causes WFL to
preselect the FTP protocol, and COPYWRITE is not called.
- If the standard transfer facility is not suitable, a WFL
job can be started. If the AUTOUNLOAD is ON and a file
with an INTNAME of AUTOUNLOAD is label equated, COPYWRITE
starts the job specified by the TITLE attribute.
- COPYWRITE passes several attributes to the job. See Example 6.
- A sample job is
provided on the release CD.
