Adding an FTP Parameter Definition

To add or modify the FTP definition for a job

1. In the Maintenance Job Master window, select File Transfer Job from the Job type drop-down list box and open the tabbed page FTP Definition similar to the example below:

   The input fields are explained in Fields: FTP Parameter Definition.

3. When you are finished, choose OK to save your entries.

The fields on the FTP Definition page are described in the following table.

Field	Description
Remote Host	Name of the remote host to be used for the file transfer. Example: host1.company.net Symbols can be used.
User ID	User ID for the FTP login on the remote host. Symbols can be used. Note for UNIX: If you use .netrc (on the execution node’s host) to specify user IDs and passwords for remote hosts, you may leave this field empty.

Group	Group or domain, respectively, for the FTP login on the remote host. Required for some platforms only. Symbols can be used.

File	File(s) to be transferred. Symbols can be used.
File 2 (Target)	(optional) File name for the target. Use this field only if the file is to be renamed on the target machine. Symbols can be used.

JCL Generation for FTP Jobs

Submit User ID

If no Submit User ID is defined for a z/OS FTP job, Entire Operations tries to use the network's default Submit User ID. If this fails, Entire Operations attempts to use the execution node's default Submit User ID.

Job Card z/OS

The z/OS job card generation can be done manually by defining the symbol FTP-JOBC1-jobname.

A job card continuation can be defined optionally in FTP-JOBC2-jobname.

If neither symbol is present, the z/OS job card will be generated as

//submit-userid JOB …

"site" Commands

If the predefined symbols FTP-SITE1-jobname and FTP-SITE2-jobname are defined, one or two FTP "site" commands will be generated, appended by the contents of these symbols.

FTP Function

If the FTP function is put, and if the target file is to be renamed, a sequence of put (with the origin name) and rename is generated now.

FTP Parameters

The FTP parameter generation can be done manually by defining the symbol FTP-PARM1-jobname.

The default is:

For z/OS:	"-e -i -v -n"
For UNIX, Windows:	"-d -i -v -n"
