Administrative configuration commands
The topics in this section describe how to use command line operations to administer Transfer CFT configuration options, and is comprised of the following:
What is a
service file medium
Transfer CFT medium refers to any data support or local communication
means used by Transfer CFT. A distinction is made between the media:
- Accessed by the
Transfer CFT
- Accessed by the
Transfer CFT utility
- Used by the interactive
functions
- Used by the programming
interface
Definitions
The following terms are used in this section:
- PHYSICAL FILE which
describes the name and physical location of a file type medium
- If the file name
begins with a reserved character, designated by char-file
- see the Transfer CFTOperations Guide corresponding to your OS,
this is a logical name interpreted by Transfer CFT
- CFTIN and CFTOUT
for standard task input/output
- TCP synchronous
medium to designate a communication channel
The Transfer CFT medium names can be set up for the:
- Programming interface
(catalog name, communication medium name with the Transfer CFT):
by the OPEN and COM services
- Transfer CFT:
CFTPARM, CFTCOM, CFTCAT, CFTLOG, CFTACCNT objects (the name of the Parameter
file cannot be changed)
- Transfer CFT utility:
CONFIG command
- Interactive functions:
the customization function is used to set the names of the Parameter,
Partner, Catalog and Log files, and the Transfer CFT communication medium
You cannot change the name of the parameter
file. It constitutes the Transfer CFT anchor point containing all the data
defined by the parameter setting, and in particular the names of the other
files and media. However, you can establish a correspondence between this
logical name and a physical name in the flow of CFT activation commands.
The names of the other Transfer CFT media are defined by parameter setting,
although Transfer CFT has default values.

Depending on the system, Transfer CFT supports the following communication
media:
- Direct organization
file (relative)
- TCP synchronous
medium
For a communication medium based on TCP/IP:
- Host name
- Configuration file
name
Refer to the Transfer CFTOperations Guide corresponding
to your OS.
Use the CFTUTIL utility command CONFIG to set the names of the media
it accesses, as presented in the table:
PARM
|
Parameter file
|
PART
|
Partner file
|
CAT
|
Catalog file
|
COM
|
Communication medium
|
INPUT
|
Input data medium
|
OUTPUT
|
Output data medium
|
By default, in the absence of the CONFIG command, the media accessed
by the utility are defined in the Transfer CFTOperations Guide
corresponding to your OS.
Depending on the operating system, the media names may be physical files
or logical files. Refer to the Transfer CFTOperations Guide corresponding
to your OS.
Depending on the system, the Transfer CFT utility supports the following
communication media:
- Direct organization
file (relative)
- TCP synchronous
medium
For a communication medium based on TCP/IP:
- Host name
- Configuration file
name
The programming interface provides the following services:
- Access to the transfer
catalog
- Dispatch of commands
to CFT
The tables below list the media names by service for the COBOL and C
language applications.

The default names of the media accessed by the programming interface,
CATALOG file and COMMUNICATION medium, are defined in the Transfer CFTOperations Guide corresponding to your OS.
Depending on the system, the programming interface supports the following
communication media:
- Direct organization
file
- TCP synchronous
medium
And in the case of a communication medium based on TCP/IP
- Host name
- Configuration file
name
Refer to the Transfer CFTOperations Guide corresponding to your
OS.
The interactive function media are defined by the customization function
of this component. The table below indicates, for each field, the file
type described:
Parm
|
Parameter file
|
Part
|
Partner file
|
Cat
|
Catalog files
|
Log1
|
Log files
|
Log2
|
|
Com
|
Communication medium
|
If this function is not activated, the media accessed are those defined
at the time the product is installed.
Depending on the system, the interactive functions support the following
communication media:
- Direct organization
file
- TCP synchronous
medium
For a communication medium based on TCP/IP:
- Host name
- Configuration file
name
Refer to the Transfer CFTOperations Guide corresponding to your
OS.
