3.5.1 Executing transmission by specifying a transmission card (Select Card method of file transmission)

(1) Using the Registration And Execution Of Transmission Requests window

To execute transmission:

1. In the Registration And Execution Of Transmission Requests window, select a transmission card to be transmitted.

2. Choose Exe.(Select Card).

   The Execute Transmission (Select Card) dialog box appears.

   To change the sequence of transmission

   The Select Card method of file transmission transmits sequentially in the order that the files are listed in the Execute Transmission (Select Card) dialog box. To change the sequence, double-click a desired transmission card. The double-clicked transmission card is moved to the top of the list and will be transferred first.

3. Click either Sync. Execute or Async. Execute.

   • Synchronous execution

     Transmission is executed sequentially for each card (each card name). Transmission of one file must be completed before the next file can be transmitted, thereby preventing line overloading.

     The transmission result is displayed under the details in the Execute Transmission (Select Card) dialog box. The numbers in parentheses indicate the sequential transmission numbers of the file transmissions. If an error occurs before transmission, no transmission number is displayed.

   • Asynchronous execution

     All cards are transmitted in the batch mode. You can transmit a maximum of 60 files concurrently. If you select asynchronous execution, the message Registration ended is displayed, and no transmission results are displayed. You must check the logs for the results.

4. After executing transmission, click Close.

How to cancel file transmission

When you click Sync. Execute or Async. Execute, Stop or Force Stop is displayed.

• Stop

  Synchronous execution: The request is canceled after the current file transmission is finished.

  Asynchronous execution: The request is canceled after the current file transmission request is registered.

  If connection is established with the JP1/File Transmission Server/FTP Client service, the request is canceled after the connection is released.

• Force Stop

  Cancels the transmission immediately. When asynchronous execution is specified, transmissions that have already been registered are not canceled. Note that the file transmission log might not be output.

  If possible, try to avoid using this option because the system might not be able to release the resources.

Only the first error that occurred is displayed in Comment or transmission results.

(2) Using the ftstran command

The following figure shows an example of using a command to execute the Select Card method of file transmission:

Transmission by the ftstran command is applicable only to synchronous execution. For details about the ftstran command, see ftstran - executes transmission in 6. Commands.
