Configured Post Processing

With this feature, you can configure post processing actions for all transfers.

Note: For information on defining different post processing actions for different transfers, see Post Processing Actions (PPA).

After a transfer is completed, TIBCO MFT Platform Server searches a configuration file containing the commands and the associated parameters. If the properties of the transfer match the parameters, then the command is triggered. This offers greater flexibility than user exits through the use of parameters and argument substitution.

If any redirecting is done, on the initiator side the redirecting goes to the directory from which the cfsend command is used. On the responder side, it goes to the directory from which CyberResp is running.

TIBCO MFT Platform Server installs a sample configured post processing file named CfgPostProc.cfg in the $CFROOT/config directory.

See the following table for the required parameters:

Parameter Description
SUBMIT Identifies the start of the parameters.
COMMAND Defines the command you want to execute.
See the following table for parameters which set up the criteria the transfer has to meet before the configured post processing action is run:
Parameter Description
TYPE Defines the type of the file transfer request.

The valid values are SEND, RECEIVE, or BOTH.

SOURCE Defines the source of the file transfer request.

The valid values are INITIATOR, RESPONDER, or BOTH.

STATUS Defines whether a transfer request is successful or unsuccessful.

The valid values are SUCCESS, FAILURE, or BOTH.

FILENAME or DSN Defines the absolute path of the local file name.

It is compared against the local file name in the file transfer request.

PROCESS Defines the process name associated with the transfer request.
The maximum length of the defined value is 8 characters.
Note: This only applies to z/OS transfers.
IPADDR Defines the IP address of the machine that communicates with TIBCO MFT Platform Server.
NODE Defines the node name in the transfer request.

For initiator requests, this parameter is used when the NODE parameter is used in a transfer request.

For responder requests, TIBCO MFT Platform Server scans the list of nodes for matches on the IP address. These entries are then matched against the value specified in this NODE parameter.

Note: If a parameter is not defined, it is considered as a match. If all parameters match, the file in the command is transferred.
