Event Driven Processing in MFT Platform Servers

MFT Platform Servers have support for event-driven processing through the Directory Named Initiation (DNI) feature. Here is an overview of DNI capabilities integrated with MFT Platform Server.

Note: The pDNI (perl DNI) capabilities are described in more detail in the "pDNI" section.

MFT Platform Server for z/OS DNI
MFT Platform Server for z/OS supports initiating transfers based on the creation of a file. Since z/OS does not include a date-modified timestamp on its files, MFT Platform Server for z/OS cannot initiate transfers based on a file being modified. MFT Platform Server for z/OS DNI can also detect data in an MQ queue and initiate data transfer from the MQ queue to a target system.
MFT Platform Server for Windows
MFT Platform Server for Windows includes an integrated DNI capability that can be managed by the MFT Platform Server for Windows Administrator.
MFT Platform Server for Windows also supports the pDNI that is described in the "pDNI" section.
MFT Platform Server for z/Linux and UNIX
MFT Platform Server for z/Linux and UNIX supports the pDNI that is described in the "pDNI" section.
