enableUserMetadataOptions: Supported MFT user-defined metadata keys

When the agent property enableUserMetadataOptions is set to a value of true, the following user-defined metadata keys are supported when specified to a new transfer request.

Table 1. Metadata keys
Key name Description Default value
com.ibm.wmqfte.insertRecordLineSeparator For text transfers. When this key is set to true, specifies that when reading record-oriented files, such as z/OSĀ® data sets, line separators are to be inserted between records.

When this key is set to false, specifies that when reading record-oriented files, line separators are not to be inserted between records.

true
com.ibm.wmqfte.newRecordOnLineSeparator For text transfers. When this key is set to true, specifies that when writing to record-oriented files, such as z/OS data sets, that line separators indicate a new record and are not written as part of the data.

When this key is set to false, specifies that when writing to record-oriented files that line separators are to be treated like any other character (that is, no record breaks).

true
com.ibm.wmqfte.convertLineSeparators For text transfers. Specifies whether the line separator sequences CRLF and LF are converted to the required line separator sequence for the destination. This conversion currently only takes effect for the following cases:
  1. If the user-defined metadata key com.ibm.wmqfte.newRecordOnLineSeparator is set to false and the transfer is to a record-oriented file.
  2. If the user-defined metadata key com.ibm.wmqfte.com.ibm.wmqfte.insertRecordLineSeparator is set to false and the transfer is from a record-oriented file.
