Table C-1 Functions that differ between the UNIX and Windows Datareplicators

Item UNIX Datareplicator Windows Datareplicator
File system
  • UNIX file system
    Regular files and character special files are supported.

  • FAT, NTFS
    There is no file system that corresponds to character special files.
Communications protocols
  • TCP/IP
  • OSI (for establishing data linkage with a mainframe database)

  • TCP/IP
Permitted number of target Datareplicators per source Datareplicator The permitted range is determined by the sendcontrol operand value in the extraction system definition.

When nodemst is specified:
1-64

When sendmst is specified:
