Transfer Function
- Information organized for analysis
- Information used for decision making
- Information suited for computer processing
You can also send data from the workstation to the host system for processing by iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™application. When a remote user is authorized to access the iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™ directly, he or she can access the created cost analysis report to compare with their results.
To transfer data by using PC400, you must create a transfer request. A transfer request provides the necessary information about the data you want to transfer.
- Where is the data located?
- How much of the data do you want to transfer?
- How should the data be sorted?
- Where do you want data to be transferred?
When transferring data from the iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™ to a workstation, PC400 allows you to specify which data is to be transferred and whether the data is to be displayed or written to a workstation file.
In addition, a transfer request can be saved to a workstation file, allowing you to easily perform the same transfer at a later date. After a transfer request is saved, you can call the request to make changes or to run it again.
