If FATMEN has been installed with the CHEOPS
option,
users may request that files are copied between sites via
the CHEOPS system. Requests will only be accepted at sites
which also have the correct server configuration.
On VM/CMS systems, this requires a special service machine
with username FMCHEOPS
. This service machine receives
copy requests from users on the local VM/CMS system and forwards
them to the local CHEOPS server.
On Unix and VAX/VMS systems, an environmental variable/symbol
FMCHEOPS
must be defined. This points to a directory
into which the copy requests will be automatically written
by the FATMEN software.
The following steps are involved:
TRANSPORT=CHEOPS
parameter or the FMCOPY
subroutine with the K
option, the FATMEN catalogue is updated
with an entry corresponding to the destination file. The comment
field contains the text
Copy request queue to CHEOPS on YYMMDD at HHMM
copy successfully queued to CHEOPS.
