Exporting the partner list

You can use the ftshwptn command to export the partner list entries to a file, for example in order to back up the entries or use them in other systems. On export, the entries are converted into the corresponding commands (ftmodptn) which you simply need to read in.

In ftshwptn you also specify the platform for which the commands are to be generated.

Examples (Unix systems)

• To back up the partner list in a format for Unix systems in the file ftpartner.sav:

  ftshwptn -px > ftpartner.sav

  You can re-import the partner list by calling the file as a procedure file, e.g. with

  sh ftpartner.sav

• To export the partner list in BS2000 format to the file ftpartner.bs2:

  ftshwptn -p2 > ftpartner.bs2

Examples (Windows systems)

• To back up the partner list in a format for Windows systems in the file ftpartner.bat:

  ftshwptn -pw > ftpartner.bat

  You can re-import the partner list by calling the file as a batch file, e.g. with

  scmd /c ftpartner.bat

• To export the partner list in BS2000 format to the file ftpartner.bs2:

  ftshwptn -p2 > ftpartner.bs2
