Note that an exchange consists in sending models or objects from the environment to a buffer, or in receiving models or objects from the buffer to the environment. The buffer itself may be transferred "to" or "from" another buffer than itself, either on a PC, or on an AS/400. This transfer is started from the Transfer manager.
The Exchange manager's menu bar lets you open the windows concerning sendings, receptions and buffers, and is used to call the application help file.
If the Exchange manager is open for a production environment, the "Receptions" option from the "Exchanges" menu will not be available for a software engineer who is not an Adelia administrator.
The Exchange manager can be used non-interactively for the batch execution of an exchange from a DOS command file. The syntax will differ depending on whether you execute a sending or a reception.
The window's title bar shows the name of the environment in which the application runs.
