Using the NetView file transfer program to transmit aggregate Backup files
You can use the NetView® FTP to create file transfer requests for aggregate backup files and submit them to NetView FTP for processing. Requests can be created either by entering values in the input fields of the NetView FTP panels or by writing and running a batch job. After submitting one request, you can immediately submit another; you do not have to wait until NetView FTP has processed the first request.
Requests are submitted to a component of NetView FTP called the queue handler. The queue handler assigns a request number to your request and adds it to the request queue, where it waits to be processed. The request queue is located on DASD.
After your request has been added to the request queue, you can DELETE it from the queue or QUERY the queue for information about a request.
