File Transfer

CA XCOM Data Transport supports high-speed file transfers between all supported operating systems. In some environments, you can start thousands of transfers resulting in hundreds of simultaneous transfers, all with a single operation. Parallel sessions are possible in varying degrees throughout the product line.

You can totally automate CA XCOM Data Transport transfers. On a PC, you can be actively engaged in the use of other applications (for example, word processing) while receiving or transmitting files in the background. Comprehensive management tools allow for effective central-site control of CA XCOM Data Transport activity, including advanced problem determination features.

CA XCOM Data Transport supports transfers between any two systems in an SNA network or a TCP/IP network with one of the following methods:

• By using the z/OS, z/VM, or z/VSE mainframes for store‑and‑forward
• Through Independent Logical Unit (ILU) support over the SNA (Systems Network Architecture) backbone
• Through Dependent Logical Unit (DLU) support over the SNA (Systems Network Architecture) backbone
• Through use of the TCP/IP network (except for z/VM and Stratus)
• Through use of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connections over a TCP/IP network (except for z/VSE, z/VM and Stratus)
