The transfer method setting in your Transfer job description specifies how you want to transfer data from processed forms with Complete status to the target system. There are three alternatives:
: Transactions are written to a file that you can then move or transmit to the target computer. (Certain events are also fired—the same ones as if you choose Via VBA—but nothing happens if no event handlers are defined.)
If you select To file as the transfer method, type the name of the transfer file—that is, the file you want FORMS to transfer the data to—in the File box. If you do not type a complete file path, FORMS places the file in the Transfer folder. More info.
Regardless of the method of transfer, the data is formatted in accordance with the transaction description you created for each form definition, or for the set definition, in the Manager.
