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

# Examples of Using File Name Tokens

When transferring a file, you can create the file name using file name tokens instead of a regular file name. The following examples show how to use file name tokens.

These examples use this sample system date and time: Wednesday, April 25, 2009 5:03:45.061 PM.

Example 1:

The user has entered a date token proceeded by the letter D when sending a file to a Platform Server for z/OS. The Platform Server on the z/OS system resolves the string into the Date1 YYMMDD format.

File name: PROD.TEST.DATA.SAMPLE.D$(Date1)

Resolved file name: PROD.TEST.DATA.SAMPLE.D090425

Example 2:

When the Platform Server for z/OS receives files, the following substitution is performed for either token LocalFileBase (or RemoteFileBase) and LocalFileExt (or RemoteFileExt).

File name: PROD.TEST.ACCT.TAX.Y2009

RemoteFileBase will be resolved to: PROD.TEST.ACCT.TAX

RemoteFileExt will be resolved to: TEST.ACCT.TAX.Y2009

Example 3:

This example can be used when the Platform Server for z/OS is sending a file to a Platform Server for UNIX.

The user has entered a string of file name tokens when sending a file to a Platform Server for UNIX. The Platform Server on the UNIX system resolves the string into the directory name and file name.

File name: /directory/filename.$(Date3).dat

Resolved file name: /directory/filename.030510.dat

Example 4:

This example can be used when the Platform Server for z/OS is sending a file to a Platform Server for Windows:

The user has used the file name tokens to generate a resolved file name that has dashes between the date and time fields when sending a file to a Platform Server for Windows.

File name: `C:\directory\$(SDD)-$(SMON)-$(SYYYY)\$(SHH24)-$(SMI)-$(SSS).dat`

Resolved file name: `C:\directory\25-APR-2009\17-03-45.dat`
