A generate operation computes and creates a transfer package.
A transfer package is a set of files that is generated from a transfer
set and destination database definition pair at the source database.
The transfer package is sent to a destination database and includes
a DCM information file, a preview file, and a data file that contains
the objects being transferred.
When you generate the transfer package, DCM automatically:
- Computes and creates the transfer package
- Sends the transfer package to the destination database
(optional)
- Receives the transfer package at the destination
database (optional)
If you select email notification
when you create a transfer set, DCM automatically sends the addressee
information about the generate, transfer, and receive results. This
data is also available in the DCM Event Log.
