TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS 8.1.0

# Additional Parameters

The following two additional parameters can be used in the DSN field to override the NODE or IPNAME parameter in the request that is queued.

Note: When the %IPNAME or %NODE parameter is specified in the DNI configuration, DNI substitutes an asterisk wildcard (*) for the parameter when scanning the z/OS catalog for a dataset match.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
%IPNAME | Overrides the IPNAME parameter in the request that is queued. Because z/OS only supports 8-digit qualifiers, the IPNAME parameter is limited to 8 characters.
%NODE | Overrides the node name in the request that is queued. If the node is not defined to a Platform Server, this parameter is used as the SNA LUNAME. For example:
    DSN=TESTDNI.%NODE.TEXT.DATA
In this example, DNI internally changes this parameter to `TESTDNI.*.TEXT.DATA`. Assume that the catalog scan returns the following datasets:
    TESTDNI.NYNODE.TEXT.DATA
    TESTDNI.CHICAGO.TEXT.DATA
    TESTDNI.LA.TEXT.DATA
DNI will queue the following three transfer requests: Request 1 is with the TESTDNI.NYNODE.TEXT.DATA local file to the NYNODE node. Request 2 is with the TESTDNI.CHICAGO.TEXT.DATA local file to the CHICAGO node. Request 3 is with the TESTDNI.LA.TEXT.DATA local file to the LA node.

The %IPNAME processing is identical to that of the %NODE parameter, except that instead of overriding the NODE parameter, the IPNAME parameter is overridden.
