It happens now and then that BS2000 files should be transported with other means than BS2000 data carriers. Means such as disks, CDs and in particular the electronic transfer would be appropriate. Text files (SAM, record length max. 255) can in the meantime easily be transported because a text-file transferTransfers files from one computer to another. A particular Automation Engine object type (FileTransfer object). is usually available between PC and BS2000 (in the worst case via EDP file transfer) in each BS2000 installation.
Nevertheless, transporting binary files (LMS libraries, programs etc.) is very problematic. FTP can be used to transport programs in binary mode but unfortunately, they then consist of 2 additional PAM pages (they functionPre-defined run book template in the Automation Engine. One single step only, e.g. Start Windows Service, Copy file,…, though). LMS libraries such as ISAM files and the like cannot be transferred because the FCB is not restored. Furthermore, FTP in BS2000 is liable to costs (TCP/IP-AP). This topic has become important for AE because the BS2000 files are supplied on CD.
Starting with BS2 TOOLS Version 2.00W files can now be assumed to a text archive and text archives unpacked.
Action Code "C+" in front of
the binary file
Select the target text archive using the K3 key.
Select "Overwrite=E" for enlarging the text archive (several
files in a text archive).
This process can take a while when large files are concerned.
Action Code "TAR" in front of a text archive generates the files in the own userIn the Automation Engine, a user is an instance of a User object, and generally the user is a specific person who works with Automic products. The User object is assigned a user ID and then a set of access rights to various parts of the Automation Engine system and product suite. These access rights come in the form of Automation Engine authorizations and privileges, Decision user roles and EventBase rights and ARA web application object rights. You can manage all these centrally in the ECC user management functions. See also, Unified user management. ID.
This program unpacks a text archive to the own User ID. It is required for all transfers made in the form of text archives.
No license is required for the program BS2 TAR (FREEWARE). It is supplied in the MUSTERLIB of all existing systems. It can also be obtained from all Sales Partners.
The supplied TAR files whose names include "NK4" are for NK4 pubsets and can also be unpacked using the program BS2 TAR.

The file BS2-TAR.BIN contains the program BS2 TAR. This program was transferred via FTP in binary mode and can also be re-transferred to BS2000 via FTP:

The latest version of the program BS2 TAR in TAR format.
This version requires BS2 TAR already been installed on BS2000 computer.
The file is transferred to BS2000 in text mode using any file transfer and unpacked in BS2000 with BS2 TAR:
