Update Netmap for Remote Nodes

Edit online

IBM® Sterling Connect:Direct® FTP+ for z/OS gets its configuration information about remote systems it connects to from the IBM Connect:Direct Netmap.

Configure the following parameters in your IBM Connect:Direct for z/OS® Netmap for each remote system that IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ for z/OS connects to:

CDFTP.PLUGIN=<fully qualified installation directory of the IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ Plug-in>
This parameter is not required when the Netmap entry defines a z/OS system.
CDFTP.TEMPFILE=<fully qualified name of the IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ temporary file>
The IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ Plug-in creates a temporary file to store the results of a directory command RUNTASK operation.

Note: If no variables are used in the CDFTP.TEMPFILE, IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ for z/OS appends the job userid and the ASID and CPUID to the CDFTP.TEMPFILE parameter as a further specification of uniqueness.

Several variables are available for substitution in the CDFTP.TEMPFILE specification. The following variables allow you to build an appropriate unique temporary file as a z/OS file:

&userid;—The remote userid (lower case)
&USERID;—The remote userid (upper case)
&lusrid;—The local userid padded to eight characters with '$'
&lcpuid;—The first eight bytes of the local CPUID with "C" overlaying the first byte
&asid;—The four character Address Space ID prefixed with "AS"
For example, you can specify CDFTP.TEMPFILE= with a variable ("&userid;"). IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ for z/OS inserts the remote userid in place of the &userid;. In the following example, the userid specified in the script or NETRC file is user1.
```
CDFTP.TEMPFILE=/u/&userid;/cdftp/temp.file
```
CDFTP.TEMPFILE resolves to:
```
CDFTP.TEMPFILE=/u/user1/cdftp/temp.file
```
In the script or NETRC file, specify the userid in the case expected for the substitution.
