Special Considerations for Connectivity with the HP NonStop Kernel Operating System

This version of Connect:Direct® for UNIX offers connectivity to Connect:Direct for HP NonStop Kernel version 3.2.00 or later using TCP/IP. Refer to the following notes when transferring files from the UNIX operating system to the HP NonStop Kernel operating system:

• Do not define the sysopts parameter with continuation marks. Type the text in a continuous string, with blanks separating each subparameter. The sysopts parameter is valid for the copy statement.
• When copying files from the UNIX operating system to the HP NonStop Kernel operating system, define the dcb parameter to allocate destination files. Define any additional options using the sysopts parameter. The dcb and sysopts parameters are valid for the copy statement.

  Use of the dcb parameter ensures that the attributes of the file being sent match the attributes of the file that is created on the remote node. If you do not define the dcb parameter, the default file types on the destination node are as follows:

  • If you are transferring a text file, the file type on the HP NonStop Kernel node defaults to an unstructured file, code 101.
  • If you are transferring a binary file, the file type on the HP NonStop Kernel node defaults to an unstructured file, code 0.
• When copying files from the HP NonStop Kernel operating system to the UNIX operating system, define the sysopts parameter to allocate destination files.
