File Transfer Activities

z/OS console operators can perform a variety of tasks by issuing specific commands when running the Platform Server.

For example, the console operator can display information about file transfer activities, end those activities, or interrupt them.

See the following table for the commands required to perform these activities:

Command	Description
`ABORT`	Terminates file transfers in progress and purges them from the work queue. `F MFTSTC,ABORT,activitynumber`
`DISPLAY`	Shows all queued activities. `F MFTSTC,DISPLAY`
`HOLD`	Makes a particular file eligible for file transfer at a specific time. The file transfer does not begin unless you first release it. For more information, see RELEASE . `F MFTSTC,HOLD,activitynumber`
`PURGE`	Purges work from the work queue. Used only for work not yet started. Otherwise, this is treated as a cancellation. `F MFTSTC,PURGE,activitynumber`
`RELEASE`	Releases an activity that is in hold state on the work queue. Note: Activities in any other state cannot be released. `F MFTSTC,RELEASE,activitynumber` The `RELEASE` command can also be used to print the Platform Server OSIMSGS log file. `F MFTSTC,RELEASE,LOG`
`SUSPEND`	Terminates an active transfer and notifies the remote LU that the transfer is suspended. The state of the transfer on the Platform Server that issued the `SUSPEND` command depends on the type of transfer: Initiator transfer: Places the transfer on hold. You must execute a `RELEASE` command to remove it from a hold state. Responder transfer: Places the transfer in a communications error state which is retried at the next retry interval. `F MFTSTC,SUSPEND,activitynumber`
