DeskTop IMPORTER and RMS/Spool Automatic Download
With Mantissa’s RMS system running on the mainframe, report data can be automatically downloaded to a single RMS/DeskTop site or to a network of DeskTop PCs locations. Mainframe application output is captured by RMS/Basic, which then distributes report packets to RMS/Spool. RMS/Spool automatically downloads the report data through either a TCP/IP or VTAM network to a LAN or stand-alone DeskTop import directory.
For mainframe reports not distributed by RMS or application output from any CPU (midrange or PC), the report files can be FTPed as ASCII text files to the DeskTop import directory inbox for capture into DT. The DeskTop IMPORTER continuously polls the import directory and initiates the file import process when a new file is discovered. Reports sent from RMS/Spool include header information which the IMPORTER uses as report properties in the Explorer catalog listing. Pre-set Extraction instructions which recognize report IDs can initiate actions such as building index tables.
