Modify the defaults to meet your needs. Prerequisites General flow information is defined Target or targets are selected The target properties page is displayed. See Transfer CFT target fields in flows for the procedure to access this page. Fields Filename Specify the file name or full path name for the received file or files. This field is required if the initiator of the flow is the source. Default value: pub\&IDF.&IDTU.&FROOT.RCV The file name can include the following symbolic variables: &FDATE, &FTIME, &FYEAR, &FMONTH, &FDAY &SPART, &RPART, &PART, &IPART, &NPART, &GROUP &SUSER, &RUSER &SAPPL, &RAPPL &IDF, &PARM, &IDA &NIDF, &IDTU, &IDT &BDATE, &BTIME, &BYEAR, &BMONTH, &BDAY &NFNAME &NFVER See Symbolic variables for descriptions of the variables. Working directory The path to the directory for received files in process and temporary files. The working directory specifies a directory other than the default runtime directory for file transfer flows. All files related to the transfer flow — received and temporary files and scripts — must be part of the working directory tree. Temporary file Specify the name of the temporary file used during the transfer. When the transfer is complete, the temporary file is renamed using the name defined in the Filename field. If you do not specify a value, Transfer CFT creates the file with the name specified in the Filename field. If the File exists parameter is set to Overwrite after receiving temporary file, Temporary file becomes required. The file name can include the following symbolic variables: &FDATE, &FTIME, &FYEAR, &FMONTH, &FDAY&SPART, &RPART, &PART, &NPART, &GROUP&SUSER, &RUSER&SAPPL, &RAPPL&IDF, &PARM, &IDA&NIDF, &NFNAME, &IDT&BDATE, &BTIME, &BYEAR, &BMONTH, &BDAY See Symbolic variables for descriptions of the variables. Receiving file size The file size in kilobytes allocated when receiving the file. When the value is 0, the file size is specified by the sender. The parameter is available only for Transfer CFT on z/OS computers. Storage account An identifier that points to a storage account that you have configured for Transfer CFT to connect to Amazon S3 storage. The value has a maximum of 32 characters. File encoding The file encoding fields vary depending on the Transfer CFT operating system. Windows and Linux File type Specify whether the file is a binary or text file, or to use autodetect to determine the file type. The following fields are displayed for the text file type only. End of record character Indicates the end of record character used in the file. Ignore end of file character This field is displayed only if you selected CRLF as the end-of-record character and if one of the source Transfer CFTs is on Windows. No - Transfer CFT ends the transfer when it encounters an end-of-file character. Yes - Transfer CFT continues the transfer until there is no more data. Encoding Represents how the data is stored/encoded on the Transfer CFT side upon reception. If you select Custom, enter the character set in the provided field. Transcoding Represents how the data in the file is decoded on reception (how the data is received from the network). If you select Custom, enter the character set in the provided field. Translation table Indicates the translation table to use when receiving a file. This field only displays if you have selected the following for use: Text or Stream Text as the File Type ASCII or EBCDIC for Encoding ASCII or EBCDIC for Transcoding See Transcoding and character translation. The following field is displayed for the stream text file type. Encoding Represents how the data is stored/encoded on the Transfer CFT side upon reception. IBM i (OS/400) File type The following describes the available options. Data file [Native] - Text [IFS] specifies the file is a PF-DTA file on a native partition or the file is a Text file on an IFS partition. Save file [Native] - Binary [IFS] specifies the file is a SAVF file on a native partition or the file is a Binary file on an IFS partition. Source file without header [Native] - Text [IFS] specifies if the file is a PF-SRC file with no header in the content on a native partition or the file is a Text file on an IFS partition. Source file with header [Native] - Text [IFS] specifies if the file is a PF-SRC file with a header in the content on a native partition or the file is a Text file on an IFS partition. Autodetect - (only on receiving / target side) automatically detects the file type. Stream text [IFS only] - specifies the use of stream text for a quicker reading, and a faster transfer (note that both sender and receiver must enable stream text). Encoding Represents how the data is stored/encoded on the Transfer CFT side upon reception. If you select Custom, the Encoding charset field is displayed where you can enter the character set. Transcoding Represents how the data in the file is decoded on reception (how the data is received from the network). If you select Custom, enter the character set in the provided field. Translation table Indicates the translation table to use when receiving a file. This field only displays if you have selected the following for use: Text or Stream Text as the File Type ASCII or EBCDIC for Encoding ASCII or EBCDIC for Transcoding See Transcoding and character translation. z/OS File type Available options include: Autodetect specifies the file is sent in auto detection mode. Print file with ASA jump codes specifies the file is print file with ASA jump codes. Print file with machine jump codes specifies the file is print file with machine jump codes. Spanned variable format specifies the file is a spanned variable file. ADRDSSU specifies the file is a ADRDSSU file. Binary specifies the file is a binary file. Text specifies the file is a text file. Stream text specifies the file is a text file sent in Stream CFT mode. PDSE specifies the file is a PDSE file. Select Binary to send a mix of file types, and make sure there is no custom encoding or transcoding required for the file types: Print file with ASA jump codes Print file with machine jump codes Text If the text files have custom encoding or transcoding requirements, you must define specific flows for them. Encoding Represents how the data is stored/encoded on the Transfer CFT side upon reception. If you select Custom, the Encoding charset field is displayed where you can enter the character set. Transcoding Represents how the data in the file is decoded on reception (how the data is received from the network. If you select Custom, enter the character set in the provided field. Translation table Indicates the translation table to use when receiving a file. This field only displays if you have selected the following for use: Text or Stream Text as the File Type ASCII or EBCDIC for Encoding ASCII or EBCDIC for Transcoding See Transcoding and character translation. Record format Record type Indicates whether the records in the file are fixed or variable length. Selecting Autodetect automatically identifies the record type. Padding character This field is displayed if Fixed is the selected record type. Specify the character to use to pad the record. This character is added to the end of the record until it reaches the maximum length as defined in the Maximum record length field. If you do not provide a value, the default character is a space. Trimming character This field is displayed if Variable is the selected record type. Specify the character to use to remove padding characters from the end of the record. For example, if the trimming character is a space and there are 5 spaces at the end of the record, all 5 spaces are removed. If you do not provide a value, the record is unchanged. Maximum record length If you select Default OS value, Transfer CFT interprets maximum record length as: On Windows, 512 characters On Linux or UNIX, 512 characters for text files; 4096 characters for binary files If you select Custom, enter a value in the provided field. File attributes check Enables you to reject an incoming transfer if local file attributes do not match the virtual file attributes. NO (default value) - Transfer CFT behavior is unchanged, and no check is performed. If the virtual file record length and format do not match the FLRECL and FRECFM attributes, the record is truncated or padded. YES - A record check is performed. FLRECL and FRECFM attributes are compared with the virtual file record length and format. If attributes do not match the transfer is rejected. Configure specific parameters for each target Specifies whether to enable configuring different transfer properties values for each target product. This field displays when you select multiple targets. If you select Yes, a table listing all the target products is displayed. Click Edit to customize parameters for a target.
