Edit online

About this task

The Interactive User Interface (IUI) enables you to submit predefined Processes using the SB option, which is available from the PRIMARY OPTIONS MENU (see Primary Options Menu). You can submit a Process from the IBM Connect:Direct PUBLIB or a library you specify and override certain parameters in the existing Process.

To submit a predefined Process from the IBM Connect:Direct IUI:

Procedure

  1. Select option SB from the Primary Options Menu to display the SUBMIT PROCESS screen. 
    If you enable the SECURITY OVERRIDE parameter, type the security override 
information in the IBM Conect:Direct 
SECURITY OVERRIDE screen.

 CMD==>
 PRIMARY NODE:
  SECURITY ID: ________________________________________________
  PASSWORD   :

  PASSWORD   :
  2. Type the name of the Process to submit.
  3. Take one of the following actions:
    • To submit the Process, press Enter.
    • To define additional parameters, continue with step 4.
  4. Type any additional parameters of your SUBMIT command and press Enter.

    For SUBMIT parameter descriptions not included in the following table, press PF1 or see SUBMIT Command.

    Field Description
    TRANSPORT Specifies the method of transport to use for the file transfer.

    NETMAP—Causes IBM Connect:Direct to search in the network map for the sending and receiving nodes. If you type a Transport of NETMAP, the SNODE keyword remains SNODE=secondary node.

    TCP—Indicates that the NODE NAME field contains an alias name or an IP address. IBM Connect:Direct does not look in the network map for node information. If you type TCP in the Transport field, the SNODE keyword becomes SNODE=TCPNAME=tcpvalue.

    DNS—Enables you to enter a domain name up to 255 bytes.
    SECURITY OVERRIDE Enables you to override security information such as password and user ID for the primary and secondary node.

    Yes = Enable security overrride.

    No = Do not override security information.
    VALIDATE ONLY Enables you to validate the Process syntax without submitting the Process.

    Yes = Validate without submitting the Process.

    No = Do not validate without submitting the Process.
    CASE SENSITIVITY Specifies whether parameters associated with accounting data, user ID, password, and data set name in the Submit Process are to be case sensitive. The default is NO, which does not allow mixed case.
