Defining Data Compression
You can use the COMPRESS parameter to specify whether to use data compression, or specify the compression algorithm used for a particular transfer request.
Note: For TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS, you can only use Transfer Interface definition to specify the data compression algorithm used for a particular transfer request. The GLOBAL definitions do not supply a default compression type, but the NODE definition can define a default compression for transfers with that Node.
You can implement data compression through the following user interfaces:
The format of the COMPRESS parameter is as follows:
COMPRESS={YES | NO | RLE | LZ | ZLIB1 – ZLIB9}
The following table lists the description of each parameter option:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| YES | The default compression algorithm (RLE) is used for this transfer. |
| NO | No compression is used for this transfer. |
| RLE | RLE compression is used for this transfer.
For more information of RLE compression, see RLE Compression. |
| LZ | LZ compression is used for this transfer.
For more information of LZ compression, see LZ Compression. |
| ZLIB1 – ZLIB9 | ZLIB compression is used for this transfer.
For more information of ZLIB compression, see ZLIB Compression. |
