fteCancelTransfer (cancel an MFT transfer)

Use the fteCancelTransfer command to cancel a Managed File Transfer transfer. You can issue this command against either the source or destination agent for the transfer.

Purpose

If you issue the fteCancelTransfer command while that transfer is currently in progress, any files already transferred as part of that transfer remain on the destination system and are not deleted. Any files partially transferred as part of that transfer are deleted from the destination system. The destination side of the transfer logs that transfer as cancelled.

If a transfer to a Connect:Direct® node is canceled, any files partially transferred as part of the canceled transfer remain on the destination system and are not deleted.

You can run the fteCancelTransfer command from any system that can connect to the IBM® MQ network and then route to the agent queue manager. Specifically for the command to run, you must have installed Managed File Transfer on this system and you must have configured Managed File Transfer on this system to communicate with the IBM MQ network. If no connectivity details are available, the agent queue manager details are used for connection instead, provided these details are available.

Specify the optional -p parameter for this command only if you want to use a set of configuration options different from your default set. See Configuration options for more information.

Parameters

-m agent_qmgr_name
Optional. The name of the agent queue manager. This agent must be either the source or destination agent for the transfer you want to cancel. If you do not specify this parameter, the cancel request is sent to the queue manager identified by the set of configuration options you are using.
-p configuration_options
Optional. This parameter determines the set of configuration options to use to cancel the transfer. By convention use the name of a non-default coordination queue manager as the input for this parameter. The command then uses the set of properties files associated with this non-default coordination queue manager.
If you do not specify this parameter, the set of configuration options based on the default coordination queue manager is used.
-a agent_name
Required. The name of either the source or destination agent of the transfer that you want to cancel.
-mquserid user_id
Optional. Specifies the user ID to authenticate with the command queue manager.
-mqpassword password
Optional. Specifies the password to authenticate with the command queue manager. You must also specify the -mquserid parameter. If you specify -mquserid, but do not specify -mqpassword, you will be prompted to supply the associated password. The password will not be displayed.
transfer_ID
Required. The ID of the transfer you want to cancel. The transfer ID (also known as the request ID) is displayed at the command line after you issue the fteCreateTransfer command. Transfer IDs are also included in file transfer log messages or are displayed in the IBM MQ Explorer Transfer Log panel.
-? or -h
Optional. Displays command syntax.

Example

In this example AGENT1 is the source agent for the transfer to be canceled. 
fteCancelTransfer -a AGENT1 414d5120514d5f4c4d343336303920201159c54820027102

Return codes

0

Either the command completed successfully or the specified transfer ID is unknown to the agent. If the transfer ID is unknown to the agent, the most likely reason is that the transfer has already completed or has been canceled.

1
Command ended unsuccessfully.
