File Transfer Application Resources › FTP File Transfer Manager Definitions

FTP File Transfer Manager Definitions

The FTP server region provides a file transfer service. You can have more than one FTP server region on a system to provide that service.

Note: Each of these FTP server regions must be on the same type of TCP/IP stack, for example, IBM's Communications Server or CA TCPaccess CS for z/OS.

CA NetMaster FTM manages these regions by using the information in the FTP file transfer manager resource definitions

A manager can be defined for a job or a started task.

FTP Manager Templates for Jobs and Started Tasks

Templates are provided for defining FTP managers in the knowledge base. The templates contain the following information to help you manage an FTP server region:

• System commands and CA NetMaster FTM processes that activate, inactivate, and retrieve status information about the FTP server region.
• System and FTP messages, and FTP monitor resource events that change the actual state of the region. For messages that indicate a problem, you might want to include a CA NetMaster FTM process that takes certain actions (for example, to record the problem in your problem management application).

Customize CA TCPaccess FTP Server for z/OS Templates

The CA TCPaccess FTP Server for z/OS resources in templates $TEMPLAT001 and $TEMPLAT002 are SFTPJOB and SFTPSTC. These resources support the sample procedure for a started task, distributed with CA TCPaccess FTP Server for z/OS. If you customize the batch job JCL for this distributed sample procedure, then you need to check the SFTPJOB template resource for consistency.
