Send data via FTP (SNDFTP)
To use the functions described here, you need a license for the i-effect modules *BASE and *FTP.
The SNDFTP command is used to send any data via FTP using predefined partner profiles.
When transferring objects from DB2 ( FS(*DB2) ) to another IBM Power Systems system ( TARGETPATH(*FRMPATH) or TARGETPATH(/qsys.lib/...) i-effect uses the standard commands SAVOBJ and RSTOBJ.
When you place your mouse over your username in the upper right corner in WebControl, the following drop-down menu opens:
Use the menu item "Execute command" from the drop-down menu. The "Execute command" window opens:
Here you select *COMMUNICATE for processing (1) and *FTP/SEND for the conversion type (2). With the "Edit command" button you can edit the following parameters for the command:
| Parameter | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
| Receiver Partner-ID | At this point, refer to a partner profile created in the master data. If you enter the value *NONE, no recipient partner ID is assigned. The specifications required for the recipient must then be specified in other parameters of this command. | |
| Profile No. | At this point, refer to a communication profile created in the master data. If the value *NONE is specified, no communication profile is assigned. The specifications required for the remote system must then be specified in further parameters of this command. | |

| Source path (*IFS) | The input file to be sent is entered here. | |
| Source file (*DB2) | Source file | Select *ALL to send all files in the source directory / source library or specify the name of the input file to be sent. |
| Library | The library of the source file in the DB2 file system. | |

The values *BEFORE and *AFTER are available for selection. The command is executed before or after the FTP transfer, depending on your selection. | |
