3.5.2 Executing transmission by entering a transmission card (Enter Information method of file transmission)

This method transmits the contents of a transmission card as is. You can enter a new transmission card or use an existing transmission card and edit its contents. The Enter Information method of file transmission does not register the transmission card.

This subsection describes two methods, one that uses the Registration And Execution Of Transmission Requests window and one that uses a command.

Organization of this subsection

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

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

To execute transmission:

In the Registration And Execution Of Transmission Requests window, choose Exe.(Enter Info.). Alternatively, in the Registration And Execution Of Transmission Requests window, specify the transmission card to use, and then choose Exe.(Enter Info.).

The Execute Transmission (Enter Information) dialog box appears.

Enter or edit the transmission contents.

For details about the settings of the items, see 3.4.1 Registering transmission information onto a transmission card.
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.
- 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.
After executing transmission, click Close.

How to cancel file transmission

When you click Sync. Execute or Async. Execute, the Now executing dialog box is displayed. Clicking Force Stop in this dialog box cancels the transmission immediately. Note that the file transmission log might not be output.

If you execute synchronous execution after forced cancellation, there might be a delay before transmission begins.

About the display of file transmission errors when a wildcard is used

Only the first error that occurred is displayed in the message that is displayed after transmission.

(2) Using the ftstran command

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

[Figure]

This example changes the following transmission information on card1 and then executes transmission:

/TC: The card name is card2.
/TH: The connection-target host name is host1.
/TT: The send/receive type is SEND.
/TY: The transmission mode is BINARY.
/TL: The local file name is c:\temp\file1.
/TR: The remote file name is c:\temp\file2.

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