Use the Transfer Creation screen to define other options associated with the initiation of a WFL job for your application Transfer. You can specify a parameter file with WFL code to initiate user-defined tasks throughout the transfer process.
Generate Set Name
This property displays the name of the Configuration being used. You cannot alter this value.
Configure Gen Set
This property displays the name of the Configure Configuration being used. You cannot alter this value.
Transfer Parameter Name
Enter the name of the WFL Include file containing the transfer parameters you want to use for this transfer run. Any transfer parameters you enter manually overrides the settings in the WFL Include file. If the Include file does not exist, the following error message is displayed:
saved transfer parameter not resident
The name of the parameter file is:
(usercode)business segment/INCLUDE/saved transfer parameter on dictpack
Where, usercode is the Builder usercode, and dictpack is the Builder dictionary pack.
Include only the last node, saved transfer parameter, in this property.
Copy Database Data
Enter Y to copy the contents of your database files from the source host to the transfer medium. The files are copied to the target host as part of the configure process. By default, the value is N.
Note: Even if Copy database data is set to Y and Retain Existing Database is set to N, it is still possible that a reorganization can occur. It is therefore preferable to transfer data using the SMU program with the CLONE option.
Auto Initiate of Transfer Job
Enter Y to initiate the transfer job automatically when the Runtime Transfer Utility has completed. The various files and programs are copied from the system, database, usercode, object, and dictionary packs and output to the pack or tape specified on the Transfer Selection Screen.
Enter N to stop the process after the Runtime Transfer Utility has completed. You must then initiate the job manually. By default, the value is Y.
Current System
This property displays the name of the application to be built. You cannot alter this value.
Database
This property displays the name of the database to be built. You cannot alter this value.
Usercode
This property displays the usercode of the application to be built. You cannot alter this value.
Dictionary Pack
This property displays the Dictionary pack from the Configuration used to build the application. You cannot alter this value.
Object Pack
This property displays the Object pack from the Configuration used to build the application. You cannot alter this value.
Target Computer Transfer Pack / Transfer TAPE Name
Use this property to change the transfer medium.
If your selected transfer medium is BNA, enter the destination pack on the target host. If your selected transfer medium is DISK or PACK, enter the name of the transfer pack. If your selected transfer medium is TAPE, enter the tape name.
The default value is the transfer medium you entered on the Transfer Selection screen, as shown in the following table.
| Transfer Medium | Property Name |
|---|---|
| TAPE | Transfer TAPE name (the default) |
| DISK/PACK/BNA | Target computer transfer pack |
Transfer Job Usercode/Password
Enter the usercode and password under which your transfer job runs on the source host. These properties do not govern the usercode of your application on the target host.
If you are not transferring your application to the same usercode by using a disk transfer, or if your transfer medium is TAPE, the Transfer Job usercodes must be privileged.
It is your responsibility to ensure that standard usercode and family file visibility and substitution rules are not violated. To achieve this, ensure that the correct usercode and family attributes are entered. It is recommended that you do not locate applications under an asterisk (*) usercode.
Transfer Job Accesscode/Password
Enter a valid accesscode and password if an accesscode list has been defined for the usercode of the job.
Job Chargecode
Enter a chargecode for usercodes which have Chargecode Required set without the Use Default Chargecode property.
Job Family
If required, enter the family definition with which the transfer job runs on the source host, so that application files and system software are visible to the Transfer process. This entry does not govern the job family on the target host.
You must enter a value in this property if either of the following situations apply:
System software required during the transfer (for example, Library Maintenance) is not resident on either the primary or alternate pack family of the WFL usercode family.
To address this situation, enter the statement (where pack is the pack family of system software)
DISK = pack ONLYTo ensure all work files are kept on your primary family, enter (where primary is the primary family, and pack is the pack family of system software)
DISK = primary OTHERWISE pack
You are placing some or all of the Agile Business Suite Software onto a pack family called DISK.
To address this situation, enter the statement
DISK = DISK ONLY
Or, if the system software is not on the pack family called disk, enter (where pack is the pack family of system software)
DISK = DISK OTHERWISE packTarget Computer (Host) Name
Enter the target host name in this property. By default, the value is the name of the current source host.
If the medium is BNA and you are using a Configure Configuration, enter the host name of the Configure Configuration.
