A file transfer resource is an entity managed by your region. It has associated with it operational information that is stored in the knowledge base.
Two types of file transfer resources (a manager and its monitors) represent a file transfer product such as CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS, CONNECT:Direct, CONNECT:Mailbox, CA SOLVE:FTS, or FTP.
A file transfer manager represents a file transfer application. It can be a job, a started task, or a Windows application.
The manager is deemed to be the owner of the file transfer monitors. In operation, the manager controls the file transfer region and reflects the status of the monitors.
The file transfer monitors are owned resources, with the file transfer manager as the owner. They monitor the operational states that affect the performance of the file transfer service.
