Point-to-many transfers are those where data is sent to multiple responding machines using a point-to-many protocol, such as BCAST (IP Broadcast) or MCAST (IP Multicast). You can only use the point-to-many transfer mechanism on IP-based networks since the mechanism uses the features of the BCAST and MCAST protocols (which use UDP).
Important! DTS supports IPv4 broadcast and IPv4/IPv6 multicast addressing. The BCAST point-to-many protocol is only for use with IPv4 addresses. If you want to perform a broadcast-type transfer over an IPv6 network, use the MCAST protocol with the relevant IPv6 multicast address.
Note: You can only use the point-to-many transfer mechanism if the input, initiator machine, and output for all transfer objects in the transfer group are identical.
Point-to-many transfers include the following properties:
Specifies the communications protocol to use during the point-to-many transfer.
Identifies the primary network address to use when sending data transfers by way of a point-to-many protocol, like broadcast or multicast, to this machine.
Specifies special parameters to supply to the protocol. Point-to-many is a transfer mechanism that transfers data by reading the data once and sending the data once to all target responders at once.
Note: For detailed information, see the DTSCLI Command Reference Guide.
