Environment variables for WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition for z/OS
After customization and configuration, you must set a number of environment variables before running the configuration and administration scripts provided by WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition. You must set these variables for each user and in each environment that the scripts will be invoked from.
There is also one optional environment variable, FTE_WTO, that you can set to send messages to the operator log when running agents from JCL.
Environment variable | Value |
---|---|
_BPXK_AUTOCVT | ON |
FTE_JAVA_HOME | The location of your Java™ installation. For more information about the levels of Java supported, see WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition system requirements. |
FTE_CONFIG | The location of the WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition for z/OS® configuration. This is the path to a directory that subdirectories and files are created in by the configuration scripts as the scripts are invoked. The directory structure will then be used by administration scripts and agents. All users making configuration changes and running agents require write access to this directory structure. |
STEPLIB | Must include the following WebSphere MQ data sets:
If you want to run the database

LIBPATH=/mqm/V7R0M0/java/lib:$LIBPATH
STEPLIB=MQM.V700.SCSQAUTH:MQM.V700.SCSQANLE:MQM.V700.SCSQLOAD
PATH=/u/fteuser/bin:/u/fteuser/J5.0/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/u/fteuser/extras/bin:/bin:$PATH
FTE_JAVA_HOME=/u/fteuser/J5.0
FTE_CONFIG=/u/fteuser/test/ftedata

The routing code is Programmer Information (11) and the descriptor code is Informational (12). |
