Batch Interface

TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS provides the Batch interface where you can queue transfers to TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS by using Job Control Language (JCL). You can perform a single file transfer or multiple file transfers within one step in a job.

Note: Users of the JCL interface of TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS are called "batch clients".

When you initiate a transfer request on the platform server, you must assign a process name for the transfer request. The process name can subsequently be utilized by ISPF operators who want to monitor the status of the transfer. The platform server assigns a 10-character activity number for the transfer request that the ISPF or console operators might use to monitor the status of the transfer.
