This parameter defines whether TAPE is supported.

The valid values of this parameter are as follows:
  • IMMED: specifies that the remote file is available to users as soon as the file transfer is completed. This is the default and the best practice.
  • DEFER: requests that the remote file availability be deferred if the remote system uses this option. Most remote systems do not use this option.
Note: In the responder function, TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS treats DEFER as tape.
