PCTRANSFER

Description

Should be specified when a file is to be transferred to, or from, a PC which is connected to IBM Session Manager.

This common session parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement), and APPL (see APPL statement).

Format

PCTRANSFER [Yes|No|ON|OFF]

Default: PCTRANSFER No

Usage

When PCTRANSFER=Yes is specified, MISER (the IBM Session Manager Network Data Minimizer) is switched off for this session, datastream compression is not used, addname, addnode and addsid are ignored, the alarm is not sounded, broadcasts are queued, and IBM Session Manager does not intercept any WSF RP(Q) since these are known to interfere with PC emulators. A transfer should not be attempted when IBM Session Manager Windowing is being used at the terminal. Windows must be ended prior to the transfer.
