The BS2000 agentA program that enables the de-centralized execution of processes (such as deployments) on target systems (computers or business solutions) or a service that provides connectivity to a target system (such as for databases or middleware). An agent is also an object type in the Automation Engine. [Formerly called "Executor."] See also: host supports all file transferTransfers files from one computer to another. A particular Automation Engine object type (FileTransfer object). functions such as the transfers of text and binary files or file transfers with wildcard charactersThese are placeholders for characters when you specify filters. ? stands for exactly one character, * for any number of characters..
When defining a FileTransfer objectAutomation Engine controlled activities and processes are structured in the form of objects. See also: Task, you can also specify file attributes for the destination in the FileTransfer tab. All file attributes which comply with the file command can be used. They are entered in a separate text field. Several file attributes need to be separated with commas:
Text mode:
FCB=SAM,LINK=UCEXSAM,SPACE=(300,300)
Binary mode:
SPACE=(300,300),BLKSIZE=STD,BLKCTRL=NO,FCB=PAM
Specified attributes replace default values or are added to the command.
Specifying an attribute means that the default-file command in the agent is overwritten. The specification of SPACE= would result in a SAM file with RECFORM=FIX, for example. In this case, the attribute RECFORM is also required if you use RECFORM=V.
The Siemens FT BS2000 can also be used to create ISAM files. Example:
FCB=ISAM,BLKCTRL=DATA,RECFORM=V,KEYPOS=5,KEYLEN=8
RECSIZE=50,VOLUME=PRIVATE,SPACE=(100,100)
Elements of LMS libraries (PLAM) can be a file transfer's source and destination.
The element should be specified in the following form:
*LIB(Library,Element(Version),Type)
The element version is optional. The highest version is read (source) or an element is written with version "@" (target) if no version has been specified.
*LIB($RS.LMS.LIB,MY.ELEMENT,S)
*LIB($RS.LMS.LIB,MY.*,S)
To assume the attributes of source files to destination files, use the option Keep original file attributes in the FileTransfer tab. This setting is only considered if source and destination agent are of a Automation EngineThis component drives an Automation Engine system and consists of different types of server processes. version 9.00A or later (newfile transfer protocol). Source and destination platform must comply with each other.
The following file attributes can be preserved in BS2000 file transfers:

Note that the file transfer must not include additional attributes for the destination file if this setting is used. Otherwise, an error will occur.
