Perform a Direct File Transfer (TYPE=EXECUTE)

The region on the left in the figure in the section Verify the Installation (TYPE=EXECUTE Transfer) represents a batch job or TSO address space that is executing a file transfer between itself and a CA XCOM Data Transport server. The program XCOMJOB is executing in the region. Notice that XCOMJOB is executing a direct (non‑queued) transfer, also known as a TYPE=EXECUTE transfer (because of the specification PARM='TYPE=EXECUTE' in the JCL for XCOMJOB). In this type of transfer, the batch job or TSO address space synchronously transfers a file to or from a CA XCOM Data Transport server. The batch job or TSO address space enters a wait state until the transfer is complete.

The members XCOMJOBE and XCOMIVP1 in CAI.CBXGJCL contain sample jobs that initiate TYPE=EXECUTE transfers.

To perform a direct file transfer (TYPE=EXECUTE)

Add a JOB card and modify the XCOMIVP1 job (as indicated) before submitting it.

When the job completes, the XCOMLOG data set contains lines similar to the following if the transfer was successful:
