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

# Appendix D. File Name Tokens

File name tokens are a feature of the Platform Server with which you can substitute generated values into file names when communicating between any combination of z/OS, Windows, and UNIX Platform Servers.

Given a file name that includes one or more tokens, the Platform Servers resolve the token or tokens (for example, date, time, and user) within the file name to the actual file name. This can be very useful when it is necessary for the file name to be unique or to follow naming conventions. Windows and UNIX resolve tokens on both the local and remote file names. While for requests initiated by z/OS, the tokens are resolved by z/OS for the local file name only. This means that if a token is specified in the remote file name, you must refer to the documentation for the remote system to get the list of supported tokens.

Note: The Platform Server for z/OS performs token substitution to its local file name on both initiator and responder requests from another Platform Server for z/OS. While, when the Platform Server for z/OS is initiating a request with file name tokens in the remote file name to a non Platform Server for z/OS, check the documentation for the remote system for a complete list of valid tokens.

Instead of entering a standard file name, you enter a name that consists of tokens which are specified by a dollar sign ($) followed by the token name in parentheses. For example,

     $(LocalFileName)
