Syntax for IMAGINE
IMAGINE SYNC | EXTRACT [NOCOMMIT] [TICK t] [MAXPENDING m]
Where:
- SYNC indicates that data is to be extracted and the Model 204 file and Imagine are to be kept in sync after the command.
- EXTRACT indicates that data is to be extracted but the Model 204 file and Imagine are not to be kept in sync after the command.
- NOCOMMIT indicates that the data is to be sent to Imagine and processed, but not committed. This provides a way of validating that a file can be loaded into Imagine without actually doing so.
- TICK indicates the number of records between progress messages (M204.3073) to the journal. This parameter also sets the frequency of progress messages on Imagine. TICK defaults to 100000.
- MAXPENDING indicates the maximu number of uncommitted record sends to be allowed in the extract. Setting this to a low value could result in reduced transfer rates because of network latency. MAXPENDING defaults to 4095.
There is also a format of the IMAGINE command:
IMAGINE ENDSYNC
That indicates a SYNC or EXTRACT for the file should be terminated.
