Checkpoint data will be stored in a file with a low level qualifier of FTP.CHECKPOINT. Select the high level qualifier (CHKPTPREFIX)
A checkpoint file residing on the client's system is required for the checkpoint/restart function,
regardless of the direction of the file transfer (i.e. whether sending data from the client or
receiving data from the server).
You can choose the location where the checkpoint data set will be created.
- If you select "Current local directory path", the file will be created as
'local_current_path.FTP.CHECKPOINT'.
Example
If the client's local current working directory and path is 'USER1.XYZ',
the checkpoint file will be 'USER1.XYZ.FTP.CHECKPOINT'.
The file name is chosen this way both for clients running under TSO and z/OS UNIX System Services. However, if running
under TSO and the client's local current working directory is a partitioned data set, then the checkpoint
file is created as a member of the partitioned data set with a member name of 'CHKPOINT'.
- If you select "Login user ID", the file will be created as 'user_id.FTP.CHECKPOINT'.
- If you select "HOME":
- If running under TSO, the file will be created as 'tso_prefix.FTP.CHECKPOINT'.
- If running under z/OS UNIX System Services, the file will be created as 'local_current_path.FTP.CHECKPOINT'.
