Moving among multiple remote library manager console sessions follows the
general conventions for moving around the windows.
The remote library manager console main window displays each library manager
session. The current sessions are listed by the appropriate link record name. To
change to a different session, do the following:
v Choose the new session from the remote library manager console main window.
v Go to the task list and switch to the new session.
You can minimize or maximize the remote library manager console session
windows and arrange them on the remote library manager console. To return to the
remote library manager console main window, go to the task list and switch to the
Distributed Console Access Facility (remote library manager console main window).
You can use the file-transfer utility to transfer files from the library manager to the
remote library manager console. Transferring files to the library manager is not
allowed. Only the remote library manager console can initiate a file transfer. The
remote library manager console can be in the monitoring state or the active state.
To transfer files from the library manager, do the following:
1. Choose Start file transfer from the Services pull-down on the remote library
manager console. The File Transfer Utility window appears.
2. Type the path and the file name of the source file. If the path is not specified,
the drive and directory where the DCAF is installed is used.
3. Type the path and the file name of the destination file. If the file name is not
specified, the same name as the source file is used.
4. Mark the Overwrite check box if you want to replace a destination file that
already exists.
5. Press the Receive push button for the remote library manager console to
receive the file from the library manager.
A window appears that shows what percent of the file has transferred. To
interrupt the file transfer, press the Stop push button.
You can change the session state and the password from the library manager.
After a session is established between the remote library manager console and the
library manager, the remote library manager console controls the library manager
keyboard and monitors the library manager display. The keyboard and pointing
device on the library manager are locked.
To regain control at the library manager, the session state must be changed. To
change the session state do one of the following:
