Nlynx ETU400 Multiple-device Transfer, Transferring From Multiple Micros, Qualified file name

Multiple-device Transfer

Multiple-device file transfer is a feature supported by all ETU power commands. Using multiple-device transfer, you can:

•Transfer a single host file to multiple micros (PWRFROM3XB);

•Transfer a file from multiple micros to the host (PWRTO3XB);

• Transfer a single micro file to multiple micros (PCTOPC);

•Transfer a file from multiple micros to a single micro (PCFROMPC).

(The command you use to perform the described operation is shown in parentheses.)

NOTE: When transferring to or from multiple micros, all micros involved in the transfer must be of the same platform, either Mac or DOS-based PC.

As an example of when you would use multiple-device transfer, suppose you have five PCs, each attached to the host through emulation. Using multiple-device transfer, you can transfer a file from each PC to the host with one command.

All multiple-device transfers can be run interactively or in batch mode. See Batch Transfers later in this chapter for more information on running these commands in batch mode.

NOTE: To transfer a file to or from multiple devices, you must be authorized to use each device specified in the transfer. In addition, each device must be powered on, have emulation loaded, and be at the AS/400 sign-on screen.

Transferring From Multiple Micros

With the PWRTO3XB command, you can transfer a file from one or more micros to the host. To transfer from more than one micro, specify the name of the micro file to be transferred, the device name of the micro, and the name of the host file to transfer it to. The parameters used with PWRTO3XB multiple device transfer are described below.

Qualified file name	The name of the micro file. In order to transfer
	a file from multiple micros, the file must be
	identically named (including the path) on each
	micro.
MICLST	The device name of the source micro. To transfer
	from more than one micro, enter the name of each
	device. (You must be authorized to use each
	device you specify in the MICLIST parameter. If
	you can sign on to the device, then you are
	authorized to use it.)
	To enter more than one device name, enter a plus
	sign ( ) here and press ENTER. This displays
	multiple MICLST prompts. The default, *REQUESTER,
	transfers a file from the micro to which you are
