Reports are Transferred to the PC Environment

Before new reports are downloaded to the PC, any reports that exist on the PC path (such as the hard disk, file server, and so on) that have passed their retention period (as specified in the recipient tree), are automatically deleted to provide space for the forthcoming transfer.

Whichever method is used to initiate the request, Control-D/WebAccess Server accesses the Active Transfer file to determine which packets are awaiting transfer to the PC user who issued the request. It then activates the site's file transfer program and transfers the relevant packets to the PC or LAN. If no file transfer program is used, packets can be downloaded to diskette and sent to the relevant users.
