Transfer Template

A transfer template is a collection of any or all of the parameters required to perform a transfer.

Each DNI entry is associated with a transfer template. The transfer template describes the name of the remote system (with a DNS name or TCP/IP address) and DNI entry options, such as compression, check point restart, or character conversion, and dynamic allocation parameters for remote z/OS systems.

You can associate any number of DNI entries with a transfer template. Perform this if you want multiple DNI directories to communicate with the same remote system.

The transfer template also describes the name of the remote data set or file, but if the remote file name is not dynamic (for example, 'SYS1.USERDATA'), every DNI entry will overwrite the data of the previous transfer. TIBCO MFT Platform Server for Windows provides dynamic file name creation through the use of file name tokens (see File Name Tokens). Use this feature in the Remote File Name field of the template to create unique file names for files transmitted from a DNI directory.
