fteBatch, fteCommon, and ftePlatform scripts

The fteBatch, fteCommon, and ftePlatform are scripts that are provided by WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition in the install_directory/bin directory as helper scripts. Not all of these scripts are present on every platform.

fteBatch script (z/OS only)

fteBatch is a helper script for running WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition from the JZOS Batch Launcher. fteBatch is installed on z/OS® only. Typically WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition is started by using the supplied command shell scripts, which perform some environment configuration before it starts the Java™ class appropriate to that function. When WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition is started by using the JZOS Batch Launcher, the Java class is started directly from the Launcher. fteBatch can be called as part of the launcher setup to place the required class name into an environment variable and performs the setup work that the normal command shell scripts perform before it starts Java. This provides a level of isolation between your jobs and the internal class names that are used by WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition.

You can find examples of the use of fteBatch in WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition in the following JZOS Batch Launcher sample jobs: BFGZSAG, BFGZTR, and BFGZPAG. The references to fteBatch are in the BFGZENVS, BFGZENVT, and BFGZENVP members that are used by these jobs.

fteCommon

fteCommon is a helper script started by the other WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition command scripts to perform common setup processing before it tarts Java.

ftePlatform

ftePlatform is a helper script started by the fteCommon script to perform platform-specific setup processing.
