How are mainframe text reports exported to FileNexus?

A. Simply set your host application to “print” reports to a designated spool directory on the network.

FileNexus automatically samples this directory every few seconds, identifies the report types on hand, then indexes and archives them according to your unique preset instructions.

If you do not have access to the network, you may export data via a standard serial printer cable.

In either event, should you mistakenly export reports to FileNexus that you have not previously set up, it will capture the data and place it in an “unknown” directory pending further disposition by you. You will not loose the data.
