File Transfer Interface

The XFER file transfer interface consists of two logical interfaces that operate independently:

• JESTOESF file transfer interface
• ESFTOJES file transfer interface

These interfaces automatically handle:

• Transmission of spool files from CA Spool to the JES2 or JES3 spool
• Transfer of SYSOUT data sets from JES2 or JES3 spool to CA Spool

XFER uses the SAPI interface to collect reports from JES2 or JES3. Collection can be performed on the basis of destination, printer name, output class, and form name. Only non-held SYSOUT data sets are collected.

The XFER interface uses JES2 or JES3 SYSOUT spin-off data set support, to automatically route files if their destinations are known to JES2 or JES3 and not to CA Spool.
