Note on usage
Function: Activate openFT
User group: FT administrator
Functional description
The FTSTART command is used to activate the specified openFT instance once the openFT load module has been loaded and started. If the value "A" for automatic activation was specified in the openFT start parameters (see the description of the FJGEN command in the manual "openFT (z/OS) - Installation and Operation") then it is not necessary to enter the FTSTART command.
The command is only executed if openFT is not already active.
If the request queue contains file transfer requests for which the corresponding (remote) FT systems have also been started, these requests are started directly after openFT starts – provided the resources are available and no other start time has been defined.
Adequate steps must also be taken to ensure that all file systems are available. Otherwise locally submitted requests that require unavailable file systems are terminated with an error message. If this happens, the user cannot be notified by a result list .
If the openFT instance is to run under a different host name, this host name must first be entered using FJGEN.
