TYPE

Specifies how CA XCOM Data Transport is to process the transfer request. Required.

SCHEDULE

Queues the file transfer request and ends the job step when the transfer request is queued. The request runs in the address space of the CA XCOM Data Transport server. The file transfer is single‑threaded in first‑in‑first‑out queuing order (unless overridden by priority considerations) and is implemented when the resource becomes available.

If the target system is unavailable during the execution of a job, the transfer occurs as soon as it becomes available. If the target system is available and the CA XCOM Data Transport server is active, the transfer can be executed immediately.

TYPE=SCHEDULE is recommended for production jobs.

EXECUTE

Indicates that the file transfer is to be processed during the execution of the current job. If the file transfer cannot be executed before the specified job time‑out interval, CA XCOM Data Transport generates condition codes and messages. This transfer type is supported by most CA XCOM Data Transport platforms. For a list of restrictions, call CA Technical Support.

If TYPE=EXECUTE and another user has established a session with the same target system, your job aborts if the other user's session does not end before the time‑out interval has expired.

INQUIRE

Indicates whether all transfers specified in a job request have completed successfully, and whether any transfers were incomplete or unsuccessful.

HISTORY

Retrieves history records based on specified criteria, such as user ID, transfer ID, TCP/IP address, dates and times, file size or type, and send or receive.
