Operands

The following operands are used with the DFLT command:

AGE

Identifies the length in days of the queue‑purging interval applied to locally initiated transfer requests.

CATALOG

Indicates whether new data sets created by CA XCOM Data Transport should be cataloged.

CLASS

Specifies the default SYSOUT class assigned to an incoming report when the remote system does not provide one.

COMPNEG

Specifies whether a compression negotiation is performed.

COMPRESS_ALLOWED

Specifies in a list form which compression methods are allowed to be used by this local server.

DIR

Specifies the number of PDS directory blocks to be allocated for file transfers to new data sets.

DUMPCL

Specifies the SYSOUT class CA XCOM Data Transport uses when creating diagnostic dumps.

EDESC

Specifies the sixteen bits (coded in hexadecimal) of an MVS message descriptor code.

EROUT

Specifies the sixteen bits (coded in hexadecimal) of MVS console routing codes for error messages ending with E.

ERRINTV

The interval in minutes at which CA XCOM Data Transport is to reset error flags on the pending request queue and retry session establishment.

IDESC

Specifies the sixteen bits (coded in hexadecimal) of an MVS message descriptor code.

IROUT

Specifies the sixteen bits (coded in hexadecimal) of an MVS console routing code.

JESINTV

Sets the interval in seconds at which the CA XCOM Data Transport server is to scan the JES spool for output directed to destinations and/or writers specified in CAI.CIN31CTL destination members.

LOG

Specifies whether the transfer log should be written.

LOGCL

Indicates the JES SYSOUT class for the CA XCOM Data Transport transfer log.

LOGDEST

Specifies the JES destination for the CA XCOM Data Transport transfer log.

MAXLOC

Indicates the maximum number of locally initiated transfers.

MAXREM

Indicates the maximum number of remotely initiated transfers.

MAXTASK

Indicates the maximum number of transfers.

PRI

Specifies the primary space allocation.

PSOUNIT

Specifies the generic unit name that the PSO interface uses when allocating temporary data sets.

PSOVOL

Specifies the DASD volume the PSO interface uses when allocating temporary data sets.

REMAGE

Specifies the queue purging interval in days for remotely initiated transfer requests.

RELEASE

Specifies whether the remote partner is to release unused DASD space when creating a new file.

REPCR

Specifies whether CA XCOM Data Transport is to attempt to do a CREATE when receiving a transfer with FILEOPT=ADD|REPLACE and the data set does not exist.

SEC

Specifies the default amount of secondary space that is allocated to new data sets in the units that are specified by the ALLOC parameter.

SMF

Specifies whether an SMF record is created at the completion of a transfer.

SMFNUM

Designates the ID number for SMF records created by CA XCOM Data Transport.

SUPPLIST

Specifies whether CA XCOM Data Transport is to suppress XCOMM0397I and XCOMM0398I messages when processing transfers of PDS or PDSE (source) members.

TCPSESS

Indicates the maximum number of locally initiated TCP/IP transfers to any one partner.

TRANSFERS_ALLOWED

Specifies the types of transfers that the server can process. Possible values are:

ALL

All transfer types are allowed to be processed.

LOCAL

The server can only process locally initiated transfer requests.

REMOTE

The server can only process remotely initiated transfer requests.

NONE

The server will not process any transfer requests.

Notes:

All meta transfers, commands, inquiries, and history requests the server can process, regardless of the value selected.

Transfers that are not processed remain on the queue in an inactive or remote suspended state. The transfers are subject to retries based on the server configuration.

If the server participates in a PLEXQ or XCOMPLEX environment, a high ranking is applied to the server when locally initiated transfers are disabled. This prevents transfers that are submitted to the PLEXQ or XCOMPLEX from being rejected in the event the server is selected to process the request.

For participants in an XCOMPLEX, there can be a delay from the time the DFLT,TRANSFERS_ALLOWED command is issued and when the XCOMPLEX ADMIN server refreshes its statistics table to use the new setting.

UNIT

Specifies the default unit name when allocating new data sets.

USERD

Specifies system‑wide user data to be included in the logging information for file transfers that the system initiated.

VOL

Specifies the default volume serial number to be used when allocating new data sets.

new_value

Specifies the new value of the CA XCOM Data Transport parameter identified with the operand option of the DFLT command. For valid values of those default options table parameters that can be modified with the DFLT command, see the CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS Administration Guide.
