About XCOMD CA XCOM Scheduler Service

The XCOMD CA XCOM Scheduler service runs as a background process to control file transfers and manage CA XCOM Data Transport resources. The XCOMD CA XCOM Scheduler service:

• Schedules and synchronizes transfer requests
• Controls shared memory for transfers
• Establishes the default parameter values by reading the parameter file, XCOM.GLB
• Controls the automatic restart of locally initiated transfers
• Writes queue information out to disk periodically
• Deletes aged entries from the queue
• Notifies a local user by executing the XCOMNTFY script when LOCAL_NOTIFY is required
• Communicates with active or pending transfers to terminate a transfer
