Display the File Transfer Log

The file transfer log provides an historical view of file transfer related activities for the selected file transfer region. One file transfer log is created for each CA NetMaster FTM region. This means that if multiple CA XCOM Data Transport, CONNECT:Direct, FTP server, and CA SOLVE:FTS regions are defined to a system image, all messages generated by those regions are saved to one file transfer log.

To display the file transfer log

1. Do one of the following:
   • Enter FTL beside a listed file transfer resource on the file transfer status monitor to display the file transfer log entries for that resource.
   • Enter FTLOG at the command prompt to display the whole file transfer log.

Note: You can ignore failure messages due to a $RF* CONNECT:Direct process. These messages are the results of polling a defined CONNECT:Direct remote node (CDMON resource of type REMOTE-NODE).
