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

# Distribution Lists

You can use the Platform Server batch client to specify a list of remote nodes to which you want to send a dataset.

The list capability works similarly to the way the remote nodes are defined. Each remote system list is defined in the `CONFIG` member the same way that an individual remote node is defined. A separate member must be created to include a list of remote systems.

By defining a list, a user of the batch client can reference it and the transfer can be sent to all of the remote systems that are included in the list.

To define a list, you can use the following parameter. This parameter specifies that this member is a list and not an individual node.

    TYPE=LIST

You can specify up to 2048 `NODE`, `IPADDR` or `IPNAME` definitions. You can also override `IPPORT` at any time in the list by specifying the `IPPORT` statement.

See the following list definition for your reference:

    TYPE=LIST
    NODE=CHICAGO1,NEWYORK2,DENVER4,  *Points to node definition.*
    IPADDR=192.192.1.200,192.192.1.201,192.192.1.202  *Uses GLOBAL TCPIPPORT*
    IPNAME=acct.companya.com,payroll.companya.com,  *Uses GLOBAL TCPIPPORT*
    IPPORT=2500
    IPADDR=192.200.1.200,192.200.1.201,192.200.1.202  *Uses 2500 as port*
    IPNAME=acct.companyb.com,payroll.companyb.com,  *Uses 2500 as port*
    IPPORT=46464
    IPADDR=192.220.1.200,192.220.1.201,192.220.1.202  *Uses 46464 as port*
    IPNAME=acct.companyc.com,payroll.companyc.com,  *Uses 46464 as port*
    NODE=BOSTON,WASHDC,ORLANDO  *Points to node definition*

See the following sample of a remote nodes list in member `DISTRIB`:
