On this page, you specify the startup protocol and whether or not internal transfer is to be performed.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Startup protocol
(2) Interval transfer

(1) Startup protocol

Select UDP or TCP as the protocol to be used when the local system is started. The default is UDP.

If you select TCP and set a port number in the services file, also add the following entry to the services file: netmdm xxxxx/tcp (where xxxxx is the port number).

Note that programs may not start in a WAN environment if you select UDP.

(2) Interval transfer

When a file transfer to subsystems occurs, the file can be divided into specified units and the divided file segments are transferred at regular intervals. This transfer method can reduce the load on the network during file transfer. The default is that this check box is not selected.

Interval transfer is not performed from a subsystem to its higher system.

Number of continuous transfer buffers
File transfer buffer size specified during setup at the destination system determines the buffer size. For example, if File transfer buffer size is 4,096 bytes and Number of continuous transfer buffers is set to 2, the job is divided into units of 8,192 bytes.
You can specify a value in the range from 0 to 4,294,967,295 in Number of continuous transfer buffers. The default is 1. If you specify 0, interval transfer is not performed.

Transfer interval
Specifies the interval time between transfers when interval transfer is performed. You can specify a value in the range from 0 to 4,294,967,295 milliseconds. The default is 1,000 milliseconds. If you specify 0, interval transfer is not performed.
