fteBatch, fteCommon and ftePlatform helper scripts

The fteBatch, fteCommon and ftePlatform are scripts that are provided by Managed File Transfer in the MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/bin directory as helper scripts. The fteBatch script is present on z/OS only.


fteBatch script (z/OS only)

fteBatch is a helper script for running Managed File Transfer from the JZOS Batch Launcher. fteBatch is installed on z/OS only. Typically Managed File Transfer is started using the supplied command shell scripts, which perform some environment configuration before starting the Java class appropriate to that function. When Managed File Transfer is started using the JZOS Batch Launcher, the Java class is started directly from the Launcher. fteBatch can be called as part of the launcher setup to place the required class name into an environment variable and performs the setup work that the normal command shell scripts perform before starting Java. This provides a level of isolation between your jobs and the internal class names used by Managed File Transfer.

The fteBatch command is deprecated for Managed File Transfer Version 8.0, as we can run Managed File Transfer through the new PDSE data set of commands. For more information, see Create an MFT Agent or Logger command data set.


fteCommon

fteCommon is a helper script started by the other Managed File Transfer command scripts to perform common setup processing before starting Java.


ftePlatform

ftePlatform is a helper script started by the fteCommon script to perform platform-specific setup processing. Parent topic: MFT commands
