Data Compression

You can use TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS to compress data while sending the data to a remote destination to reduce the number of packets to be sent between systems and to reduce network traffic. The data is then decompressed when it is received at the remote destination.

Note: No special APIs, preprocessing tasks, or postprocessing steps are required for the platform server to compress data.
TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS supports the following compression algorithms:
  • Run Length Encoding (RLE)
  • Limpel Ziv (LZ)
  • ZLIB

For more information, see Data Compression Algorithms.

TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS only supports Transfer Interface definition for specifying the compression algorithm used by a particular transfer request. GLOBAL definition and NODE definition are not supported.

For more information, see Defining Data Compression.
