By creating a transfer definition, you identify to MIMIX the communications path and protocol to be used between two systems. You need at least one transfer definition for each pair of systems between which you want to perform replication. A pair of systems consists of a management system and a network system. If you want to be able to use different transfer protocols between a pair of systems, create a transfer definition for each protocol.
System-level communication must be configured and operational before you can use a transfer definition.
In an Intra environment, a transfer definition defines a communications path and protocol to be used between the two product libraries used by Intra. For detailed information about configuring an Intra environment, refer to Configuring Intra communications.
Once transfer definitions exist for MIMIX, they can be used for other functions, such as the Run Command (RUNCMD), or by other MIMIX products for their operations.
