How does MFAs Compare and Synchronize Monitor work? What can we control or not control about it?

The monitor synchronizes mainframe and workstation source, by creating and storing date/time/TTR and hash information in an checkpoint file located on the workstation. When the monitor detects a sign of an alteration, then it performs a hashing check against the member in question. If the member has changed, then the hashing algorithm will detect this, and the monitor will determine which side has changed: the mainframe, or the workstation.

You can control the frequency of this checking, as well as the direction that the transports are allowed to take: both directions, download from mainframe only, or upload from workstation only. If a LAN directory already exist with source and you match it up with a PDS will the Sync Monitor know not to download the files that have not changed? They were originally brought down with Drag and Drop?

Yes, as it does a hash against both files to determine likeness, and then compares the hash code. This would be the same for those files, and therefore ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
