Chapter 3. Operating NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS - IBM

You must change the values shown in lowercase type in Figure 60 to meet the
needs of your installation. You can also change the highlighted parameters. All
other parameters must be specified as shown. For an explanation of the JCL statements
shown refer to “Procedure to Start a Server” on page 105. When the server
is started, it waits until it either obtains a request from its queue handler or is contacted
by a remote server. When it establishes a session, it starts the file transfer.
When the file transfer ends, whether successfully or not, the server terminates.
Subsequent steps of the batch job can check the condition code from the transfer.
If the condition code indicates that the transfer was successful, or that only a transmission
error occurred, the server can be restarted. If the condition code indicates
that a severe error occurred, the server is not restarted; instead, for example, the
log file can be printed.
Note: The condition codes from single-mode servers and continuous-mode
servers are derived differently. See NetView FTP Messages and Codes for details.
Specifying Values for the Server Initialization Parameters
The following describes the initialization parameters required for an SNA server and
an OSI server.
The initialization parameters are read from SYSIN at server startup time. The
parameters are coded as initialization control statements in the format:
