Customize Your Active File Transfer Monitor

You can customize how information is displayed on the Active File Transfer Monitor to make it more manageable. For example, you can create a filter and use it to exclude certain types of file transfers, use the X action to exclude specific transfers, and sort the displayed transfers in a certain way. If you want to use the same filter and sort order whenever you access the monitor, you can add them to your profile.

To create a filter, enter the /FTADMIN.F panel path to access the list of Active File Transfer Monitor filters and add it there. For example, you can limit the display to only those transfers that have failed.

To apply a filter to the monitor, enter FILTER and select the required filter from the displayed list.

To exclude a displayed transfer, enter X next to it. For example, you may want to exclude a transfer that you know is of no consequence to your business.

To sort your display, enter SORT and select the column you want to sort on. You can enter SORT sort_column_1, sort_column_2, sort_column_3 to sort your display on up to three columns.

To add the filter and sort order to your profile, enter PROFILE and complete the relevant fields.
