Use the Transmit window to schedule when to transmit service data to your service and support and how you want to transmit the service and performance management information by frequency and the time of day.
Use the FTP window to configure the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) information for the FTP server, with or without a firewall, for off loading service information. This service information is extended error data consisting of problem related data on problems opened on the HMC for the HMC or managed system.
When transmitting service information, a status file and associated Vital Product Data (VPD) for all managed systems attached to this HMC is sent.
When transmitting performance information, performance management information is gathered and sent. For example, if you have a performance management program running on AIX for your AIX partitions, your performance information may include files such as stats.send for disk usage, environment, I/O, and network statistic applications.
