How Transfer Priority and Agent DiscreetMode Settings Work Together

The following table indicates how the transfer priority settings and the agent DiscreetMode settings work together to determine which mode is used for sending the transfer and which mode is used for receiving the transfer.

In this table, the first row indicates the transfer priority settings of the initiating and receiving computers. The From…To… headings for the remaining rows indicate the DTS agent DiscreetMode setting (Y or N), from the sending computer to the receiving computer. The remaining cells (the cells not in boldface) indicate whether discreet mode is used to send or receive the transfer.

This table reveals that a default transfer and an urgent transfer both mean the same kind of transfer: a normal transfer, in other words, not a discreet transfer. Similarly, a default or urgent send means a normal (not discreet) send, and a default or urgent receive means a normal (not discreet) receive.

For any transfer, any send, or any receive, the difference between a default setting and an urgent setting is that an urgent setting always overrides a discreet setting and makes it normal, while a discreet setting always overrides a normal setting and makes it discreet.

Note: The text and the table above assume that the initiator is the sending computer and the responder is the receiving computer, which is true for most transfers. However, if the initiator is the responding computer, replace the words “send,” “sending,” and so forth with the words “receive,” “receiving,” and so forth in the text above.
