What You Can Manage

You can manage the following components of your site's file transfer service:

• File transfer applications that perform the transfers

  You can define application manager and monitor resources to monitor and manage the status and operation of the following file transfer applications:

  • CA SOLVE:FTS
  • CA XCOM Data Transport
  • CONNECT:Direct
  • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server
• Files transferred or being transferred
  • You can define schedule monitor resources to monitor and manage transfers that are scheduled to start and be completed at a certain time (proactive management).
  • You can define file transfer rules to manage individual transfers as they occur (reactive management).

  CA NetMaster FTM monitors transfers initiated by the supported file transfer applications. Transfers by other methods (for example, IBM's Bulk Data Transfer (BDT) transfers) can be made available to CA NetMaster FTM using the generic data transfer application program interface (API).

  Note: For information about how to use the generic data transfer API, see the Administration Guide.

• File transfer infrastructure that supports the file transfer service

  You can define infrastructure resources to monitor and manage the status and operation of TCP/IP stacks, direct access storage devices (DASDs), and tape devices.
