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. |
