<h1 class="topictitle1">Transfer data from a database file to a stream file</h1>
<div><p>Follow these directions to transfer a file from a database file
to a stream file on your server.</p>
<div class="section"> <ol><li>Establish a connection to the server.</li>
<li>Map a network drive to the appropriate path in the <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> file
system.</li>
<li>From the <span class="keyword">iSeries Access for Windows<sup>®</sup></span> window,
click <span class="uicontrol"> Data Transfer from <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span></span> .</li>
<li>Select the server you want to transfer from.</li>
<li>Select the file names, using the <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> database
library and file name to copy from, and the network drive for the location
of the resulting stream file. You can also choose <span class="uicontrol">PC File Details</span> to
select the PC file format for the stream file. Data transfer supports common
PC file types, such as ASCII text, BIFF3, CSV, DIF, Tab-delimited Text, or
WK4.</li>
<li> Click <span class="uicontrol">Transfer data from <span class="keyword">iSeries</span></span> to
run the file transfer.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>You can also perform this data movement in a batch job with the
data transfer applications. Proceed as above, but select the <span class="uicontrol">File</span> menu
option to save the transfer request. The Data Transfer To <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> application
creates a .DTT or a .TFR file. The Data Transfer from <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> application
creates a .DTF or a .TTO file. In the <span class="keyword">iSeries Access Family</span> directory,
two programs can be run in batch from a command line: </p>
<ul><li><span class="cmdname">RTOPCB</span> takes either a .DTF or a .TTO file as a parameter</li>
<li><span class="cmdname">RFROMPCB</span> takes either a .DTT or a .TFR file as a parameter</li>
</ul>
<p>You can set either of these commands to run on a scheduled basis by
using a scheduler application. For example, you can use the System Agent Tool
(a part of the Microsoft<sup>®</sup> Plus Pack) to specify the program to
run (for instance, <samp class="codeph">RTOPCB MYFILE.TTO</samp>) and the time at which
you want to run the program.</p>
