Mainframe Tab (Transfer Settings Dialog Box)

Getting there

Open a 3270 terminal session.

Open the Transfer Settings dialog box.

The steps depend on your user interface mode.

Ribbon	With a session open, on the Session ribbon, from the Transfer group, click the Transfer Settings launcher:
InfoConnect Browser	With a session open, on the InfoConnect menu, choose Tools and then File Transfer. In the Transfer dialog box, click the Settings button.
TouchUX	With a session open, tap the Wrench icon and then under Tools, select File Transfer. In the Transfer dialog box, click the Settings button.
Classic MDI	With a session open, from the Setup menu, select File Transfer.

The options are:

Host

System

Select the operating system the host is running.

Startup command

Type the name of the host program to be issued by InfoConnect to initiate a file transfer. The default value, IND$FILE, is appropriate for CMS and TSO hosts.

For CICS hosts, IND$FILE may be appropriate, or you may need to specify your site's CICS transaction (for example, CFTR).

When working with double-byte characters, use APVUFILE.

Advanced

Configure advanced options for the selected host system type (CICS, CMS, or TSO).

Structured field transfer

Max field size

Select a buffer value (other than Disabled) to have InfoConnect use the Write Structured Field protocol. As a rule, the larger the buffer size, the faster the transfer. However, if you select a value that is too large for your host, it will disconnect your session when you first attempt to send a file big enough to fill the buffer.

This option is relevant for IND$FILE, APVUFILE, and DISOSS transfers.

Timeout (in seconds)

Startup	Set the amount of time InfoConnect should wait for a host response when attempting to connect. Select a value between 1-9999.
Response	Set the amount of time InfoConnect should wait for a host response. Select a value between 1-9999.
