Distribution Lists

Distribution lists define multiple nodes and a default directory to which you can perform sendtransfers. You can configure the distribution list name, the nodes to be used, and the distribution directory in the cflist.cfg file located in the MFT Platform Server installation directory. Because there is no maintenance program for distribution lists, you must use a text editor to update the cflist.cfg file.

When a distribution list is selected from the Transfer window by using the List button, the destination information is pulled from your node configurations.

Note: Distribution lists can only be used for a send transfer. When you perform a receive request, the List button is grayed out.
You can find the following examples in the cflist.cfg file: 
[AccList] 			          
# Distribution list : AcctList	
Node=NYAcct,LAACCT,chiacct

[Stores]
# Distribution list : Stores
Node= Store1, Store2,
Directory = /tmp/prod/data
Node=Store5
