The initiator of a file transfer request can arrange to be notified of the result. The logging function, which is available in a standard form on all platforms, is particularly suitable for this.
Other ways of notifying results are platform-dependent:
On BS2000 systems, the FT system sends asynchronous messages to the user which provide information on the result of the file transfer. Prerequisite is that the user task submitting the file transfer request is still active and that asynchronous messages are allowed.
On z/OS and BS2000 systems, a file is created on request by the initiator and can be printed out automatically on success or failure of the file transfer.
On Unix systems, the result message can be stored in the mailbox of the initiator depending on the result.
For details on z/OS, please refer to the manual "openFT (z/OS) - Command Interface".
