Cross-Platform File Transfer

High Reliability

• Retry/reconnect continues the transfer—from the last byte sent.

• If retry/reconnect is unsuccessful then alternate path routing continues the transfer—from the last byte sent—using an alternate high-speed or network path.

• Restart logic continues the transfer—from the beginning of the last file sent—should a transfer be stopped.

• The ability to wait for the completion of data transfer in a script prevents bottlenecks.

Controlled and Monitored

• GUI interface provides easy selection of files for transfer.

• System monitor displays active transfers, rate of transfers, and log contents, ensuring high reliability and system control.

• Host-based scheduler initiates jobs on remote clients, providing a central point of control.

• Support for wildcarding improves file selection flexibility.

• Support for partition datasets aids file selection.

• Client scheduler permits file transfer at convenient times.

• The ability to wait for the completion of data transfers allows multiple unattended file transfers through a single batch process.

• Use of native OS/390 and client user IDs and passwords enforces proper access levels.

• Host exits provide means for compression, encryption, or rerouting to alternate destinations.

• Command line interface allows scripts to manage data transfer.

• Transfers can be initiated from both client and server side.

High Performance

• LAN-less data transfers use the existing ESCON or SAN technologies.

• Multiple compression levels for high efficiency and low CPU usage.

• Multi-threading and multiple concurrent file transfers provides high aggregate throughput.

• Direct application-to-application data transfer through "named pipes" eliminates the need for pre-staging to disk, resulting in superior performance.
