BPXWDYN properties we must not use with MFT

Some BPXWDYN options must not be specified when using the fteCreateTemplate command, the fteCreateTransfer command or the bpxwdynAllocAdditionalOptions property in the agent.properties file.

There are a number of BPXWDYN options that must not be specified with Managed File Transfer because they are used by the agent or they are not supported. If we use these options they can cause unpredictable behavior; the options are listed in the following table.

BPXWDYN options Description
DA   DSN Specifies the data set name to allocate.
FI  DD Specifies the ddname to allocate.
FILEDATA Specifies, to the sequential access method services, whether the data is treated as text or binary.
OLD  SHR  MOD  NEW  SYSOUT Specifies the data set status.
REUSE Specifies that the named data set is freed before the function is performed.
HOLD Specifies that the output data set is to be held until released by the user or operator.
KEEP  DELETE  CATALOG  UNCATALOG Specifies the data set disposition after it is freed.
RECORG(LS) Creates a VSAM linear data set.
MSG Directs allocation messages. Note: This option can be used, but because Managed File Transfer uses this option to direct error information to the transfer log, using it can cause unpredictable behavior.
