xprecmd

This parameter specifies the path name of the command used for user-defined pre-allocation processing, for locally and remotely initiated transfers. Specify this parameter in xcom.glb to invoke the pre-allocation exit xcompre. A sample command file is provided in $XCOM_HOME/cmd/xcompre.

Range: 0 to 64 characters

Default: None

Note: $XCOM_HOME is an environment variable.

xtcerrdecr

This parameter specifies the transfer requests for which the xtchold_count parameter value is decremented when the current transfer completes unsuccessfully.

Up to eight transfer request names

Specifies up to eight transfers whose hold counts are to be decremented if a transfer completes unsuccessfully.

Note:

• VTAM errors are not considered failed file transfers, because they are retried later.
• If the current file transfer fails, the value of the xtchold_count parameter of the transfers assigned to this parameter is reduced by one, unless the next transfer has already started or the xtchold_count value has already reached zero.
