Data can be transferred over networks protocols that support Systems Network Architecture (SNA) distribution services (SNADS). In addition to APPC and APPN protocols used with distributed relational database processing, SNADS can be used with binary synchronous equivalence link (BSCEL) and SNA Upline Facility (SNUF) protocols.
An iSeries™ server supported by SNADS can send data to another server with the Send Network File (SNDNETF) command and receive a network file from another server with the Receive Network File (RCVNETF) and Work with Network Files (WRKNETF) commands.
