Create JCL to Start the IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ Manager

Edit online

Create JCL to start the IBM® Sterling Connect:Direct® FTP+ Manager. Refer to the following JCL as an example:

//CD$MGR   JOB (CDHOSTD),'FTPUSER',PRTY=12,TIME=1440,CLASS=Q,
// REGION=0M,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
/*JOBPARM LINES=999999
//************************************************************
//*                                                          *
//*       CONNECT:DIRECT (Connect:Direct for z/OS MANAGER)   *
//*                                                          *
//************************************************************
// SET PGM=DMINIT,P=,
//    E='STAT.INIT=COLD,TCQ=COLD'
//NDMITST  EXEC PGM=&PGM,REGION=0M,
// PARM='&P.USER1.INIT.PARMLIB(GLOBINIT),CDFTP,&E '
//CDPLEX   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=USER1.INIT.PARMLIB(CDFTPMGR)
//CDSVCDMP DD DUMMY
//STEPLIB   DD DSN=USER1.CD5000.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR
//DMPUBLIB  DD DSN=USER1.PROCESS.LIB,DISP=SHR
//ESTAE     DD SYSOUT=*
//CDESTAE   DD SYSOUT=*
//NDMLOG    DD SYSOUT=*

In this example, the JCL that starts the IBM Connect:Direct Manager is similar to JCL that starts the IBM Connect:Direct/Plex Manager. The initparm override PARM CDFTP as the first override parm after the location of the global initialization parameters makes this a IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ Manager.

The following local and global initialization parameters are forced with no message:

  • TCP=OES
  • SNA=NO
  • CTCA=NO
  • SECURITY=OFF (IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ Client only. The Security parameter is allowed for the IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ Manager)
  • TCQ=COLD
  • CONFIRM.COLD.START=NO
  • TCP.FMH.TIMER=00:00:00
  • TCP.RUNTASK.TIMER=00:00:00
  • PROCESS.RETENTION=NO

If you specify any of the following Global Initialization Parameters, they are ignored:

  • TCP.LISTEN
  • MAXPROCESS
  • MAXPRIMARY
  • MAXSECONDARY

The local initialization parameters file for the IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ Manager, CDFTPMGR, should specify:

CDPLEX.MANAGER=YES

For more information about global and local initialization parameters, see Initialization Parameters in the IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS® Administration Guide.
